To add to the love for The Descent - I've seen a ton of horror movies in my life and that is the first one ever that made me scream. I saw it in the theater and everyone else laughed at me, but there was something going on with that movie that really got to me during watching it in a way nothing else ever has. After much thought, I think I decided it was because the all-woman cast allowed me to identify with the characters on a level I can't when horror movies are usually about men rescuing/protecting women.

While The Descent is a total bloodbath, I do generally prefer the gore-free or gore-light, heavy on the creepy atmosphere and suspense, sorts of movies. I thought The Blair Witch Project was brilliant and I was afraid to walk to my car leaving the theater after seeing it. This sense of dread and fear stuck with me for some time. Even now, years later, on the occasions when I find myself driving through the country at night, it's creepier than it was before I saw that movie. I honestly don't think I'd care to go camping anymore, not so much because I really believe there could be something supernatural out there that wishes me harm, but because I know I will be terrified and paranoid and unable to relax.

Rob Zombie movies make me feel like I need to scrub myself head-to-toe with bleach. I want to be scared by a movie, not made to feel dirty (in a bad way) from watching it.
