The Exorcist never was scary to me, nor do I find it to be a great movie...never have, never will, I'm afraid.
The original Omen is a classic and easily one of my favorite films of all time and one of the scariest. I even think The Omen II was a great flick and a very scary one as well.
Put me down for Hostel and Hostel 2, also. Both kickass exciting, gruesome, scary as fuck flicks.
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre worked on so many levels and I still find it very scary to this day, although the acting was terrible from most. But, the TCM reboots are all well done and scary, as well, IMO.
Horror is my fave and preferred genre and I've seen the sub genres rise and fall, seen most horror films available, old and new, and my feeling is that we are scared by different things, and that those things change as we age and develop,
I also think that if you are open to the experience of watching Horror, then you can 'enjoy' different types for their own unique qualities.
The universal constant seems to be that people like to be scared, at least a large proportion of people do... so Horror as a genre will always e around in some shape or form.
Now it's back to tinkering with my horror script, it'll be in peoples Top 10s some day
I found it interesting how they sold Shutter Island. To me, it's so full of suspense, dead children suddenly appearing, shock scenes in each sequence. It's not what I'd exactly call a psychological thriller anymore. The whole music is also constantly working through suspense.
I'd love to know what the audience felt when leaving the cinema, expecting thriller and getting hard shit - the farthest possible edge of the Thriller genre. I mean: How many times is that let's say Sixth Sense?
Lol like damn this is not in the trailer you know.
Then Psycho is listed Horror as main genre on the other side.
Some find gore horrible, some laughable. Some can handle suspense, some freak out when not knowing what happens next...
I totally feel you on Shutter Island. I avoided it when it first came out as it seemed like a glorified Discovery ID show to me, but I caught it on TV later and was blown away at it's depth and creepiness.
Really good movie. Scorsese and DiCaprio really can do no wrong together.

Haha, yeah was the same with me. The atmosphere in cinema, I missed, must have been beautiful intense because they really played with those expectations.
Before the characters decide to join cell block C, hell, there was already enough heavy stuff happening which made me just think like a kid: "No no, guys. Can't you see that cell block C isn't the place to be? Please just stay away from cell block C. Nooo"
I guess nobody would have imagined what Scorsese does when his actors enter some dark rooms. Such of an old tale that we associate darkness with feeling uncomfortable but he can push that button again and present a new version. Just a master who can play on all fields.
