That sort of visceral reaction is what makes it worthwhile. <br /><br />There are a few moments like that in your horror movie-to-come.

The most effective scare moment for me is not the ball, but the item placed at the top of the staircase at one point. That raised all of the hair on my arms. <br /><br />I picked this one (and the other horror movie) for the same reason--both of them work almost entirely through atmosphere rather than gore. I like gory movies just fine, but for me, true horror is not about grossing the audience out but about getting under the audience's skin. The Changeling is a smart movie, which is why I like it as much as I do. SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
