Jenna!!!! I love everything about this!!!! perhaps my favorite post of yours. I love to see horror explored more than surface level gore and such, there is truly so much horror out there with deeply human themes stories, it’s such a rich genre. like you said it feels strange and contradictory to be someone with a lot of anxiety & still love horror but I think for me at least it has a lot to do with control. it’s an outlet for so many different things for different people & that’s just so lovely
also, I adore Midsommer (and Ari Aster) but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, but one of these days we have to trade horror recs!!
ahhh thank you!!! it's nice to know there are other scaredy cats out there who love horror!!
i have seen hereditary (against my will) and i was fine with it so i am sure i could handle midsommer but i've read the wiki summary like three times and feel so mixed about it haha but who knows!! i never thought i'd like horror anyway so maybe i'll change my mind someday!
I love this point of view because I am also Scared, but very Curious ! a horror movie that has made me feel this way is May (2002); Nosferatu (1922), silent as you may have guessed, is the horror movie that impressed me in the cinematic sense
