scary movie

sometimes i like a good scary movie. now i dont go crazy with it. forget some of those creepy-weirdo movies..."saw 1-4", "Hostile", "texas chainsaw"...NO THANKS. and FORGET the old "e*orcist" movies (note: i wont even type the whole word in my blog.) i snuck into my living room at 8 and watched parts of that movie against my mother's strict orders. i think i was 19 before i could walk into a pitch black bedroom alone thanks to those few scenes i snuck behind my mother's back.

on the other hand, movies with 'twists' like "The 6th Sense" i LOVE. fast forward to this past weekend. i saw "The Orphanage", or "El Orfanato", as it is in spanish w/subtitles. great movie. cool ending. sad ending. but very engaging story. id see it again. granted it has the "ghost factor" up the wazzoo, but the resolution is all human. and you look back and think "wow-- that really SUCKED to be her!" and except for one short scene of true gore, no one was tortured. no one was maimed. no one decapitated. just good movie making.
