Reply to comment by t3rm3y in what horrors have genuinely scared you? by t3rm3y

Aliens is more like Predator, more the action sci-fi, where Alien and The Thing, are more psychological horror, the paranoia of who’s “the monster”. The isolation of outer space, or a ice station, create far more than just monster movies.

I’ll toss Event Horizon in, although it’s very different.

See I love films and have seen a lot. But the two I referenced " white noise" and "sixth sense" both have that more realistic believable horror and scares. I remember when static appeared on screen after a station stopped broadcasting so that one got me good. I think sixth sense worked well because it affected the child so much.

Event horizon could have been great /better but the crew become the problem instead of the horror or what the portal lead to.
