Horror

I personally have very little experience with horror films because I am usually too scared to watch them, so I do not much to say about the different types of horror films, whether certain kinds are better than the others. However, on the rare occasions that I did, the buildup of the tension was much more unnerving than being scared itself. The suspense might be the key success in a horror. Of course, the ending cannot be too bad, but the tension is what gets the audience excited and addicted. The buildup takes much longer than the actual horror, but being scared of being scared might be scarier than being scared itself. When watching a horror film people would want to know: When will it come? You get a feeling of your organs being twisted and tied up because of all the suspense. (This is one of the reasons why I do not like to watch horror films. What’s the sense of putting yourself into such a vulnerable and uncomforting situation? Of course, I’m not the type of person that finds getting scared very amusing either.) I think the best type of tension build up would be very subtle, but gets the audiences thinking about what the small hints mean.
