Who am I?

When it comes to films I'm a strange guy. For my first 12 years of my life I loved Disney movies. When Disney started to go south I had to find alternative movies. When I was old enough to handle mature material I started watching horror films. Whether I'm watching slasher flicks or psychological thrillers I found the best way to judge a scary movie; suspense. Today's trend seems to be relying on pure gore. To me it seems a cheap way to disturb the audience. Instead of building anxiety it just grosses you out. That's why suspense is the most vital factor with surprise to release the tension.
