I 2 like mystery horror a lot, though I don't have seen that much.. ;)
can you give me some recommendation for those? :)
(especielly paranormal, psychedelic, terrifieng stuff)



Other (film)genres I like are: all kind of fantasy, tragedies (dramas), commedies (I m not always finding them funny, I just enjoy them :D), and some other..
Just dont like pure action, criminal or "normal" thrillers, or splatter horror...

I'm not a big fan of horror, but on the rare occasion when I do partake, I have very high – and very unusual – standards for my horror. I don't go for the "blood and gore" style in the average slasher flick. Terrifying, yes, but the adrenaline rush dies down pretty quickly. What's far more horrifying to me is to see people snap. No people out to "teach the world a lesson", nobody slaughtering people just for kicks, just normal people acting very abnormally. I read something somewhere online that talked about how one of the easiest and most effective ways to make horror is (paraphrasing here) "to take something mundane, everyday, and kinda cute, and make it incredibly disturbing." That's exactly how I like my horror, and I'm somewhat disappointed that it isn't more prevalent.

Have you seen He Was a Quiet Man?

I don't think it counts as horror, but it does more or less fit the rest of your criteria.

I haven't seen that, but now that you bring it to my attention, I just might have to.

Most of those criteria I listed (and most of my preferences regarding horror) stem from an anime called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, or When the Cicadas Cry. It takes a few of anime's time-honored comedy/romance setups and characters and then makes everyone snap. Repeatedly. To (over)simplify it, it's Groundhog Day meets The Shining. All in all, it was very well done. And part of me wants to just hug them all and try and make things better.

It also gave me impossibly high standards for my TV psychopaths. (My INTP side is showing, methinks.)

Oh hell, I didn't expect that response.

The movie I just suggested doesn't even come close to Higurashi's level of warped-ness. You may still like it though.

So you know what I'm talking about, eh? I guess a couple years in the anime club at college brought out the Thinker in me.

I think Higurashi is about as much warped and disturbing as I can comfortably take. I watched it over Halloween weekend – in the spirit of the season – and it was very enjoyable, but I found it to be quite...what's the word..."emotionally provocative", I guess you could say. Like I said earlier, there were plenty of times where I just wanted to hug the characters and reassure them that things would be alright.

Because you know what's coming next.

I'm always up for action movies. Love fantasy. Enjoy comedy now and then.
I love vampire, zombie, werewolf movies.

I don't like a lot of romance or drama.

Best anime ever!

I like romantic movies like Before Sunrise and Chasing Amy in which the characters talk and really connect.

I also like movies about finding oneself, being true to oneself e.g. Billy Elliot, School of Rock.

I like movies about healing like The Color Purple.

I'm drawn to movies about children with conflicts with parents, like Mermaids, Amadeus, The Color of Paradise, and again, Billy Elliot.

Lately, I'm engaged by characters who express their anger very naturally. Like Cuba Gooding Jr.'s character in As Good As It Gets and Joan Allen in The Upside of Anger. Although they're TV shows, I enjoy the Colbert Report and Entourage also because of the Ares archtype that appears.

I also like shows and movies about the creative process e.g. Shakespeare in Love and Project Runway.
