no horror flicks for me anymore
The search for a perfect horror movie that would make me bite my nails off, alas, came to an end. I gave up. I simply was frustrated with all the horror flicks that I saw in order to give me a scare that I would remember for a long time. None of them were scary enough, infact they should be called comedies or costume dramas. Ofcourse there were moments here and there, when I did jump out of the seat. But none whose thoughts gave me shivers long after it was gone.
I remember while a kid, watching Nightmare in Elm street gave me sleepless nights. While watching Mr.India, I chewed half my white frilly frock during the scene where the guards jump into the red hot boiling liquid and their bones surfaced up. I had recurrent dreams of being shoved into the liquid. And my white frilly frock could not be ironed out straight! Gone are the days.
None of the recent movies give me such a thrill. Right form theExorcist to the Ripper, from Raat to Vastu Shastra, from The Ring to the I know what you did last whenever sort of movies. None. Infact, I had a hearty laugh while watching the Ring!
The only movie that I had hope on was The Shining. I wanted to see Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's 'eerie' novel starring Jack Nicholson. But I ended up watching the 1997 adaptation of the same by Mick Garris. I gasped only once during the entire movie. Only once. I was so dissappointed. I was under the impression at that time that Stanley Kubrick's might be different, and it won't disappoint me. But yesterday, I read a review about it and was so sorely disappointed to know that both the movies had the same plot, being the same novel's adaptation.
I am so sorely disappointed. so very much.

Hey wot abt Bhoot??? It sends shivers down my spine everytime I watch it...I think the background score does the trick here...Spine chilling indeed!!!!
although i liked the movie, i wasnt tht scared except when she appears in the mirror. i found rest of the movie pretty predictable.
