Alright, alright, settle down now, y’all. Let’s talk about them spooky movies, the ones that make your hair stand on end, ya know? Them… horror movies. But not just any horror movies, we’re talkin’ about the ones you watch when you’re, well, let’s just say, feelin’ good. You get me?
Now, some folks, they like them jump scares, blood and guts everywhere. That ain’t my cup of tea, not when I’m… relaxed. I like the ones that get in your head, make you think, ya know? They call ’em “elevated horror” or somethin’ fancy like that. Sounds like somethin’ them city folk would say, but the movies themselves, well, they’re somethin’ else.
I remember watchin’ this one movie, somethin’ about a… a witch, I think. Not the broomstick kind, though. This one was all about creepy feelings and things not bein’ what they seem. Real unsettling, it was. Made me think about stuff, you know, about fear and what’s real and what ain’t. That’s the kind of thing you want, not just some fella jumpin’ out with a knife. That just makes me spill my… tea.
- The Witch, that one stuck with me. Showed me that real horror ain’t always about monsters, sometimes it’s about the darkness inside folks.
- Then there was that Babadook movie. About a monster in a book, but it was more than that, ya know? It was about a mama dealin’ with grief and anger. Heavy stuff, but good, real good.
- And don’t even get me started on It Follows. Now that one, that one was somethin’ else. A curse, passed on like… well, never mind. But it stuck with ya, made ya look over your shoulder, even when the movie was over.
These ain’t your regular slasher flicks, no sir. They ain’t just tryin’ to scare ya, they’re tryin’ to… stir somethin’ up inside ya. Make you feel things, think things. That’s what makes ’em good for when you’re, ahem, feelin’ no pain.
And lemme tell ya, watchin’ these movies when you’re… enhanced, it’s a whole different experience. The colors seem brighter, the sounds sharper. You feel like you’re right there in the movie, with the characters. It can be intense, sure, but it’s also… kinda beautiful, in a weird, creepy way.
Some folks, they like the old classics. Like that Army of Darkness, or that Jason X fella in space. Them are fun, no doubt about it. But for me, when I’m feelin’… mellow, I want somethin’ that’s gonna get my brain workin’, ya know? Somethin’ that’s gonna stay with me long after the credits roll.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ these are the only movies you should watch. There’s a whole heap of ‘em out there. Psychological thrillers, they call ‘em. Movies about technology gettin’ outta control. All sorts of things. But if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ a little different, somethin’ that’ll make you think and feel, then these elevated horror movies, that’s where it’s at.
And don’t worry if you ain’t heard of all these fancy titles. It ain’t about the name, it’s about the feelin’. You want a movie that’ll grab hold of ya and not let go. A movie that’ll make you question things, make you see the world in a different way. And the best part is, when you’re watchin’ ’em, you know, in a certain state of mind, they just hit different. It’s like the movie’s talkin’ right to ya, sharin’ its secrets.
So next time you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to watch when you’re, let’s say, unwinding, give one of these elevated horror movies a try. You might be surprised at what you find. Just remember to keep the lights low, the snacks close, and your mind open. You never know what kinda spooky thoughts might creep in. But that’s part of the fun, ain’t it?
Get Out, that’s another one you should try. A different kinda scary, that one. About real-life stuff, ya know? But twisted, turned all around. Makes you think about things, that’s for sure. So go on, give ‘em a try. You won’t regret it, even if you get a little spooked. It’s all good fun, in the end.
And listen, there’s always new ones comin’ out, this year, next year, who knows? They keep makin’ ’em, and I’ll keep watchin’ ’em. Long as they keep makin’ me think, and long as I got my… tea, I’ll be just fine.
