Watching Congress debate immigration on C-SPAN was pretty scary...

Good point. I wonder why it's so much an issue. All the immigrants I've run into have been hardworking and family oriented.

I don't know why I liked this one when I rarely like scary movies. Maybe because the spiders look so realistic. Maybe because you do get a little zap. I thought it was pretty fun.

Hands down, the best response that could have possibly been made
I think that may be a little TOO scary for me.

Depending on how much you like gore, I've heard really good things about Slither. I have been warned though that there is animal death, so if you're sensitive to those kind of things, you might want to pass on it. I, personally, am, so I had to skip it.

A few others: I suppose you've seen The Ring? Great suspense and ending. Directed by Gore Verbinski who also directed Pirates of the Caribbean.

28 Days Later is a favorite of mine. Combines enough scare and drama to make it a solid film all around.

I think the The Ring is up there when it comes to scary movies. The blood and slash types lack imagination and just rely of the "Gore Factor" and a bunch of screaming violins to jar your nerves. The Ring is much more subtle. The original Japanese version is not bad either.

I agree. I actually have a hard time watching gore. Honestly, I rarely do.
