    I must be one of the few who just didn’t care for Alien. I still don’t understand what makes this movie so well-received.

      I don’t like horror films. They do not scare me. Alien did, and that’s why I like it. The other Alien-films? I don’t care for them.

      Other horror film that scar®ed me was Ringu (Nakata, 1998) and It Follows (Mitchell, 2014)

        There’s so much mediocre horror out there. Try Kill List, Hereditary, Green Room, High Tension aka Switchblade Romance, and if you’re game, Irreversible. As a horror lover, it’s appreciating the genius of tickling the scary bone and the deft way it’s handled for maximal heart-grippage. I rewatched It Follows recently, the subtext in movies like that are really cool. Hope you check out any of the recs above and get something out of them.

          I’ve seen Kill List and Irreversible, but didn’t think of them as a horror film. The other titles are noted down, and I will try to check them out. Thanks!
