What Is The Weirdest Movie You Have Ever Watched Not A Horror Film

Horror movies have no effect on me, is that weird?

Nope. I think it's uncommon, but I have been watching horror films since I was a toddler and hardly any frighten me. There are exceptions, of course, and certain subjects (animal cruelty is the most impactful) do upset me. However, I think that horror is about scaring a person rather than startling or revolting them - - jump scares are tied with unnecessary and gratuitous torture for things that annoy me in so-called “horror”films. I consider true horror to consist of certain ideas combined— well—with correspondingly appropriate tension and atmosphere, so it's pretty rare for a horror movie to actually effect me. For example, The Silence of the Lambs is a great film, but I don't consider it to be a horror film.In general, I don't think of most horror movies as terrifying or emotionally affecting because in most instances it's too easy to remember that this is something that couldn't reach you because the perpetrator is fictional or the film shows so much detail—even in supernatural horror movies—that it fails to stimulate your imagination and, through your imagination, some fear that exists inside of you.Certainly, there are exceptions to this, but they are rare. Generally, and perhaps counterintuitively, the more explicit and intense the violence, the less afraid I feel. In these films it simply seems artificial and forced, not scary. The more I need to fill in the blanks from my imagination and my own “fear Bank,” the more likely a movie is to affect me. I suspect that you experience something similar. I don't think that it's weird, just not the norm. Then again, I have also seen horror films in theaters with large portions of the audience verbally egging on the evil or killer(s) and/or laughing at the victim(s) and any suffering being endured, and I find that very weird. I understand that it's likely some sort of cathartic reaction, but it strikes me as extremely odd. So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

What are the weirdest movies you have watched?

Perfume! That was easy. What a powerful movie! Do not read on if you have not watched the movie, and wanted to know what’s it all about.Born with a superior olfactory sense, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille creates the world's finest perfume. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he searches for the ultimate scent.Making his first delivery to Paris, he revels in all the new scents of the city, but picked up the best one coming from a red head girl selling yellow plums and followed her, repeatedly attempting to sniff her. This scared the girl, and to prevent her from crying out, he unintentionally suffocates her.He strips her trying to revel more in her scent but got alarmed when her scent fades. He then picked up from other how to preserve scents and other perfume formulas.Picking up another the scent of the beautiful, redheaded daughter of the wealthy Antoine Richis, he decided he has to began a trial of preserving body scent and so began his killing spree of preferably young women. He finally succeeded in preserving body scent, and finally preserving the scent of the rich man’s daughter.Moments after he finished preparing his perfume, Grenouille was captured to be executed, but he applies the perfume on himself, on the day of his execution, forcing jailers to release him. The executioner and the crowd in attendance are speechless at the perfume’s aroma and immediately declare Grenouille innocent before falling into a massive orgy.He walked out from the city untouched, but take himself out shortly after by pouring the rest of the perfume over him in a crowded setting, a fish market where he was birthed and abandoned, and getting devoured by the crowd who got crazy by the powerful perfume.The movie left me with jaw hanging, and thoughts rampaging for a couple minutes. It was powerful and really weird, I have to rub my arms to get the blood circulation going again.I’ve seen a lot more weird ones, but none stayed as Perfume.I don’t like it, yet I have to know what happened next.

Is it weird to laugh during a horror movie?

Happens quite a bit, the human mind can make us laugh at some of the most horrific things because they are so unbelievably awful it can go into the absurd. If soldiers can laugh in the middle of wars where they see people getting shot or body parts blown up and dismembered then you can laugh at movies like The Evil Dead, American Psycho or Eli Roth's Cabin Fever. Hell, even Marilyn Burns laughed at the end of Texas Chainsaw Massacre with blood smeared all over her face. The contemporary horror films like You're Next and Get Out both have bone chilling scares as well as hysterical jokes, same with Rob Zombie's films House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. I can go on because their are horror franchises that infuse horror and humor in them like Freddy Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday The 13th. I laughed during a couple of scenes in the latest installment of John Carpenter's Halloween too. Laughing during horror films isn't necessarily weird- some situations are so unbelievable you can't help but laugh ( prime example is Patrick Bateman killing his business colleague with an axe while playing Huey Lewis because you realize Patrick is truly insane). Alien Convenant had some funny scenes just for the fact they had Danny McBride in it - he's fucking hilarious.

What's the scariest movie you've ever watched? Truly scary, one's that you can't forget or that you had nightmares about?

I dont know whether I am just sensitive towards this movie, because I'm never usually affected by horror movies. However, a movie that genuinely scared me and caused me to think about during the night (which never happens) was The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016). Some people may disagree with my opinion that this horror film was scary, but it did leave a lasting effect on me.
