Topic: Is The Exorcist still a scary film after all these years? Forum: JoBlo

This is relegated to all horror films. Most kids dont find Halloween scary either or the original TCM or The Shining. This is why I never defined horror film solely by the fact of whether they're scary or not. Hitchcock's Psycho doesn't scare me but its still a great horror film and great cinema. Same goes for Rosemary's Baby. On the other hand Halloween, TCM, and The Shining still get to me but they are also well crafted examples of fine cinema. I'm just saying I think people put far too much stock into a horror films worth soley on the fact of whether its making them jump every five minutes. Then again kids today define horror films by films with gore and loud noises. Why are we even talking about the younger generation. God I feel old and Im only 25.
