Horror movies don't scare me. I can eat raw beef while watching SAW. ;) But I'm immensely freaked and grossed out by realistic [i.e. possible in RL, not just really good CGI] depictions of vulnerable people, especially underage females and queer people, being abused. I walked out after some 45 mins of Towelhead, which is - by my standards - far scarier than the goriest psycho horror flick. :/
Interesting! You're a hardcore realist then. Such movies affect me really hard as well, but I get broody, angry, depressed or anxious rather than scared. I try to only watch the best of the best of those movies, because if I'm gonna be affected to the extent that I do, then it better be worth it.
