The Shining

[Pok]

You don't think it was scary? I thought it was a lot creepier than a lot of movies I've seen.

It's not terrifying, but the pacing, the lighting, the camera angles... the whole movie just had a creepy ambiance to it.

Sorry, didn't really do it for me. I can't really recall a good scary movie, sure some things scared the crap (almost) out of me when I was younger (Pee Wee's big adventure had a shocker moment with a trucker or something, I hated that... Oh, and Jaws) but nowadays I can't find a horror that enjoy as a horror.

Some have bits of comedic genius, mind you, a la Jason X [or Jason in Space, whatever it was] where in one scene Jason is in a hologram room and 2 co-ed holograms ask him if he wants to "Drink beer... or smoke pot... or have pre-marital sex, we love pre-marital sex", the next scene you see with jason you see him swinging one sleeping bag into another one [one over his shoulder like a sledge hammer onto the one on the ground] and you hear "Ow.. Ow!".

Then watch Screamers or The Thing, much creepier than The Shining. If you want the full experience of The Shining, read the book.

Was screamers the one with the chainsaw ground robots? Watched it, it was kinda overly cheesy though.
