Featured review
Ow my freakin'god!
I like to think of myself as a grrrl who is able to handle a lot, when it comes to horror, though I have developed a preference for the more psychological kind...The kind that takes you by the throat and does not let go...
I thought Ring (original) was indescribably scary, especially since I watched it alone, in the dark ,in a deserted house, AND ON VIDEO, these factors definitely added to my level of scariness...The end of that movie, was literally spinechilling and I found myself clutching the blankets and holding on for dear life when in THAT movie happened what happened when it did happen.
Thought that was the scariest movie ever! Nothing could top it, right? Well I could not have been more wrong...
How totally unprepared was I for what was about to come when I popped Ju-on(original version again), in the DVD-player...
Ow my freakin'god, I was so scared through the whole film by the terrifying atmosphere throughout...
And how about the sounds...
When the ending came i was so scared I could hardly breathe, I had the imprints of my nails in the palms of my hands, and could not speak or move...
The aftermath of the movie was me being SO scared I was too chicken to go to the loo...
I checked my closets, and my blanket numerous times,and this went on for months... had nightmares too...and was totally afraid of the dark allover again...like when I was a kid or maybe even moreso...
I have seen a lot, but this one is definitely the most scary,and I do not think I ever wanna see it again...
