DEAR HOLYWOOD, RE: 'sudden screaming ghost faces'

[deleted]

I'm happy to listen to complaints about jump scares, especially for a movie with many of them. Jump scares can be nice, but not when they're all over the place.

However, I love, love, love, ghost faces. It's the best jump scare available. I love seeing how any given movie will design its distorted, nasty, ghost face, and comparing them to other movies. They're always creepy, perhaps because supernatural elements that are partly human are inherently scarier (to me, at least).

Always love these threads made by raging noops who literally poop their pants at every jump scare then create all these threads to pretend it's not scary at all.

Interestingly enough, there's a lot of people who get legitimately angry whenever you try and scare them with a jump scare. What happens is that they become angry at the realization of their humiliating weakness. They don't like jump scares because it reveals their true feeble nature. As such, these threads are just a manifestation of that frustration and proof that OP was extremely scared during the viewing of this flick. Little cry baby.

The effects reminded me of those laughable YouTube videos with the screaming faces at the end of them. This movie was okay though, the silly screaming faces were balanced out at least.

I know right...
what happened to all these atmospheric thrillers of the past, which didn't rely on those cheap scare tactics? Whenever you watch a "modern" ghost story, the only interest you have is anticipating when some distorted scary face will pop out or some super loud banging noise will occur. And it's rinse and repeat with every single flick too...

This movie was written, developed, produced, and distributed by the British film industry. Hollywood had nothing to do with it.

You *do* realize that this is atmospheric horror, right? That it is a legitimate effect. It is inspired by the gothic-horror genre of literature. Which, by the way, gave birth to the abhorrent gore you apparently love.
