I have watched many horror movies, both classic and modern, european, american, hongkong, thai, japan, korean, local indonesian.
from stephen king, george romero, dario argento, rugerro deodato, wes craven, etc, and asian movies

I watched The Omen, I watched The Exorcist, Poltergeist, many freak cannibal flicks from Rugerro Deodato, Rose Red, etc from stephen king, and many wes craven's, and The Ring, Ju-On, and my other asian movies,
some I feel jumpy, some I half closed my eyes anticipating the scare, but all were fun, mere horror flicks, as a christian I feel fine watching them because I see them as mere movies,

however
I have a strange feeling inside my stomach, uneasy feeling in my solar plexus and has to stop it and not continue when I watched Phenomena by Dario Argento, other Dario argento's about 3 mothers also gave me a strange feel, but this Phenomena with Jennifer Connelly in it, I got to stop halfway, I don't know what the scene is not that scary, but something in it feel dangerous and something in me tell me to stop.

I wonder if anyone ever experience similar feel toward a movie

perhaps it could have been humming of certain sound frequency that accumulatively through our subconsciousness buildup uneasy feeling.

I had to watch Heriditary on a non work night.

I’ll give the Dario movie a try I loved the Suspiria soundtrack but couldn’t watch the movie felt too dated.

Here’s a wild rumor from a Hollywood website. After reading a disturbing but informative book called Eye of the Chickenhawk, on snuff. The director of Salo 120 days was murdered, there was a P2 Masonic lodge.

Long story short rumor is Dario filmed snuff

Audition is the reason I will not watch anymore Japanese horror. That one still haunts me.
Takahashi Miike is nuts

I love horror movies. In my opinion they are the most difficult genre to do well -- you have to maintain tension throughout even as the antagonist/threats are revealed. I found hereditary to be a modern masterpiece, one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. A24 does the whole grief as horror genre so effectively, as in Midsommar

I enjoy watching "horror" movies, but I can't recall ever having been so scared by one that I had to stop watching. But I've never seen one of Dario Argento's movies (that I can remember), so maybe that's the key. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m tough, especially when it comes to movies, because I’ve seen a lot in my life. I was a medic in the German army. But ever since I had children, I’ve become very sensitive when it comes to films involving kids.

I won't lie to you fine people, I don't watch horror movies as I'm a huge coward haha, but in my earlier years I for sure stopped some horror films halfway through :p only time I've ever really sat through a full one is when I watched it with a girl and wanted to look though haha.

Cheers

I have experienced a sick feeling when watching movies with very realistic, very brutal violence. It is so unpleasant to see one person doing something so gruesome to another. Sonehow person on person is different from injury from a machine or even an animal. Feels more dangerous.

It's interesting, isn't it? I find myself when I watch anything on screen that *** violence feels less visceral, more fantasy. Maybe because (contrary to stereotypical expectation) I didn't grow up in a *** culture and have never been around them being used for anything other than target shooting on a range. Fisticuffs or blades seem somehow much more intense to me. Mind you, I remember years ago an acquaintance, an older guy whose dad had been conscripted into ww2, talking about how it had affected him in the long term. The old boy knew exactly how many men he had killed in combat, but the one that he still woke up in the night screaming about decades later was the one he'd had to bayonet rather than shoot from a distance.

Maybe not stop it halfway, but when I was watching Skinamarink, the last 'scare' if you will lasted for soooo long in my head that i just wanted it to end.

Not usually a fan of horror movies but I have recently watched a few, and the only upcoming films that look interesting are actually horror... So with many more under my belt maybe I will be able to feel in such a way.

Only one Film hit and scary me.
I think I get traumatized will never see again. In the same time probably one of the best film I ever saw.
"Dancer in the Dark"
Directed by Lars von Trier.
With Björk.

As a friend of my father was owner of cinemas I had the possbility to watch any film I wanted in the beginning eighties, when I was a beginning teenager, even films I would not have been able to see in my age in any other cinema... Dawn of dead by G.A. Romero at this age was a really impressive experience, that made me several nights with ungood sleep - this zombiehorror was kind of a new quality of horror as this was starting a new genre in my opinion. It was my deepest experience of being attracted by horror and at the same moment wanting to stop but being unable to do so, I never had this later again in this intensity. Some time later with about 14 I watched this film again with some friends on VHS Video and after I had to drive home with my bike in the night 15 kilometers through the countryside wood and fields. After this I never again was afraid in the darkness... lol

I stopped the Pope's Exorcist featuring Russel Crowe in an excellent performance that went a bit
much with excorcism turned gothic horror flick overdrive mode.:oops: After ten minutes had passed and
armed with a strong cup of coffee, I resumed watching to its end. A critique would cite this lapse which
definitely drove the film off the rail and crashed what otherwise was a reasonably good take. :)
