I like scary movies that don't have a black cat jump out of a closet or have characters come out of nowhere with a loud "scary" sound playing.

Then again perhaps they aren't horror movies. I find ghosts or other scary stuff just appearing in the background with no indication that anything has happened or the character knowing about it more frightening or rather eerie. I watched a scary movie with someone and they didn't notice half the things happening, even though they still found it scary. I was paying attention to every detail and kept noticing certain dead people walking by or someone hiding off in a corner where the main action was happening elsewhere. While I wasn't really scared, I had goosebumps throughout the film. Though the most freaky was of this girl looking around then she turns toward the camera and starts walking and for a second or two we see a man hanging from the ceiling as she is moving. Since the girl moving has your attention, you don't really pay attention to the stuff in the background and thus you only see it out of the corner of your eye.

That's what really freaked me out about the sixth sense. The school, the graveyard, the girl running her hands down the sheet, the woman in the kitchen. Jeez..

I can't believe that I still have not managed to see that movie.

I'm with Trallyus. Stupid horror with chainsaw-weilding maniacs is not scary. It's usually funny, in that sick way. I love good horror like Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs. Those movies left so much to the imagination, and that is what made both true classics.

I agree with everything you said except for Psycho. It just didn't do anything for me....then again I'm not a big fan of old movies just for the sake of it.
I guess you could say I like a lot of different types so long as they're good, I watched one with Demi Moore recently that kept me thinking and watching and that is a good sign....not what I expected from her.

I really enjoy visually firghtening movies. Ring and Grudge were visually freaky as hell. Saw is scary in that it's something that could happen and it makes you feel the pain of the victims.

That's why I won't be watching it. There are more things than we imagine that are possible but we don't hear about them in the news so movies like The Ring are right up my alley.

For me, the first movie was good. I really liked it. It was more psychological than at least the 2nd. But the second movie, I think its main purpose was to up the gore factor. The only good thing I felt to come from the 2nd movie was Tobin Bell (I love his acting style...he's so creepy). And besides, the twist in the original is 10 times better than in the second.
I dunno if I wanna see the 3rd one, because everybody says that it's gorier than the 2nd movie, and that was just disgusting.

But the plot is much better and the ending is great.

My coworker says there will be a Saw 4. He really likes the Saw movies. I have begun questioning his sanity.
