There's more than one kind of "being scared". Some people like that campfire story exhilaration you get. It's playful and makes you possibly feel on edge or sharp.

Some people just like the myriad of emotions that different stories and evoke and how some story tellers and performances go about evoking them.

What I like about horror most is what I like about any genre of story. Seeing something captured that would be so difficult for me to describe. Or something I'm aware of but I'm not even aware of it. Or something I'm aware of but it's a forgotten notion. Or many many things I'm familiar with faint or vibrant that are portrayed as an amalgamation by a creator, or by chance, that obviously had a lot of influences with things I know or fit my taste.

Or, most relevant, seeing something just really well done. Understanding exactly what they were going for and being able to say "Damn. They did it." Just witnessing art and what it offers or getting to be entertained.


I like to pretend that the Cube movies after the first don't exist and Kazan got to enjoy whatever life he has.


Agreed and I'd like to add; nothing should be considered a sign of virtues other than things that directly display a virtue. The amount that people have appreciated or given me credit for the most basic kindnesses that take no effort and nothing from me is truly incredible. Not just desperate people or people in need either. And there's nothing wrong with appreciating stuff like that, but compared to my actual morals the stuff I'm referring to is more like manners. It's just a formality. Do it for anyone.


Man, the sporadic amount I've played a bit of vanilla then modded minecraft the recipe list is extensive enough for me.


Creep (2014) is like.. the entire point of the movie is this vibe.

While his other work is actually a bit less horror coded if you liked Perfect Blue that much you should check out the rest of Satoshi Kon's other works. Particularly "Paprika" and "Paranoia Agent". While they aren't about dread and confusion like Perfect Blue I still think you'll like them because otherwise they're very thematically connected with a lot of exploration of identity/ego vs reality and the dissonance it can cause.

Also I'd recommend Oldboy (2003) and I Saw the Devil. Not the same unsettling vibe as your request, either, but they do mess you up.


I don't really care when something came out as long as I like it. What confuses me about modern horror movies is how much things will get advertised and defended that my biggest issue with is that very little actually happens in them. I can appreciate a more subtle or quiet story if it's something I like so I'm not talking about that. The issue isn't me not understand or that I'm ignoring that other people can like things that I don't. The issue is that I see some movies get, I mean, just extremely outspoken hype when if that same movie had come out 15 years ago not that many people would have seen it because it'd be too anticlimactic that it wouldn't even be talked about by most. Just as an example. Or, alternately, maybe it's just that the scenes people reference aren't all that intense or impactful.

And it's not nostalgia, like, I'm coming from the place that there have been many forgettable and or short lived horror movies in the past. But their equivalents, now, don't just get recommendations or discussion but often treated as part of the modern departure and evolution of cinema from the "crusty" old stuff and it.. really isn't any better.


He's a character the author intends you to like that many fans are annoyed by so I was going by that. But I'd also point out that Goku being carefree and airheaded has always annoyed other characters in DB.


Goku, mostly after Super.
