Am I the only one who hates horror movies when they have famouse actors?

Question

I dunno why I do, but i just do, i went to see the strangers yesterday & i went to see it at like 1am & it finished at 2:30am or something & the fact that liv tyler was in it just made it unrealistic & just..not scary at all it just makes you jump in your seat because of the sound effects other than that..not very scary..didnt have nightmares or anything..it sucked.

am i the only one?

Answer 1

I completely agree! When there is a famous person, you loose focus on the movie. Its no longer scary because you know it's fake! When there are good, unknown actors in a horror film, you're scared because you can imagine yourself in their shoes but with a famous person you really can't!

If you're really into horror and trying to find something you like, check out a site called. It has some awesome content, covers various conventions from horror to comic con, and, the best part, it has a ridiculously huge library of movies you can stream for FREE!!!! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Answer 2

No you're not!  I am a jaded horror movie addict and I agree with you.

I find that a well known actor/actress makes me think of them only, and not the character they play. And that takes away from the scare factor.  All of my favorite horror movies have pretty much unknown (or unknown at the time) actors in them for that very reason.

On a related note, I also hate that fact that animated films are using celebrities instead of voice actors these days.  For the same reason.

Answer 3

I don't like horror movies at all.

Answer 4
