“omg, terrifier is a great movie to watch at our halloween get-together!” it’s not. you were terrified of autopsy of jane doe. you were terrified of malignant. terrifier is way gorier than both and also way bleaker than both.

#also one of our friends is terrified of horror movies??? there’s a reason i was recommending coraline and corpse bride #it’s okay to love horror!! but also be cognizant of other ppl’s preferences and boundaries #like i think from beyond is a great horror movie… but i’m not showing that to a 14 year old #i love hereditary but i’m not showing that to my friend that was scared reading coraline #and i don’t judge ppl that get scared from that sort of thing #it lets me watch a more chill horror-adjacent film. sometimes hardcore horror is fun and other times it’s not #idk i jst think my friend’s sibling sometimes hears that i love horror and leans too far into it #i like horror but i’m not like…. a Horror Fan ™️….. i jst like watching fucked up movies about fucked up things with fucked up ppl #because of the narrative choices and concepts they use #i also think there’s a difference of taste to be had between the movies we like because i… HATE terrifier #it’s so empty and devoid of soul (intentionally—i think that’s part of the vision and i appreciate it)#and it doesn’t make me feel like i’ve left happy…#i’m rambling. but essentially: be aware of your friends’ limits and don’t try to enforce your own upon them #esp not at a friendly get together………#in the end that friend watched hereditary and said she couldn’t sleep for a while and i was horrified her friends made her watch it #i had so many other horror movies i could’ve shown her first that wouldn’t be as jarring #the others for one!!! the conjuring for another!!! like the others isn’t frightening so much as it is a mystery #and the conjuring has a very optimistic ending!! like!!!!!#please please please talk to me before other friends convince you to watch a horror movie 😭 i’ll give you a realistic understanding of how #that movie will fuck you up 😭#memorie.txt
