What about the exorcist?


It may be the standard of scary movies.

But if the intent of the movie is to actually “Scare” their audience then IMHO, it falls short.

It’s still a great movie, but not scary.

If you consider “The Blair Witch Project”, which was a low budget film, and how its surprising success led to the adoption of camera techniques that are annoyingly found in way to many films.

The “Shaking Camera”, the constantly shaking camera.

Another thing that I’ve noticed about both “Scary/Horror” films as well as action films is the length of each “cut”.

Something that I find extremely annoying.

Next time you watch one of these films, count the cuts between one scene to the next within the same scene. More often than not the cuts only last 1 to 3 seconds and will run for 20 or 30 minutes like this.

I hate it.
