Horror Movies and Life Lessons

Recently I watched a horror movie, it was a trashy movie and it had no values. But I wondered what would a viewer learn from this movie? And here are a few things I got -
1)Do not go over to a drug dealers house or anyone you really don't know anything about.
2)Listen to your parents
3) Don't lie about where you are going to your parents. Let some one know where you are if you're going to an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people.
4)Know your way around places.
5) Carry pepper spray or learn self defense - for every girl
6) Do not let strangers stay over at your house
7) If you do let strangers in keep some thing that you can defend yourself with.
8) Think before reacting? Why would you let a bunch of creepers into your house late at night on a rainy night? Some thing sounds fishy. If you have to offer some one shade and comfort - offer them something but don't let them in.
9)Keep up to date with the news.
and finally - teach your children about how to deal w/ peer pressure, not to go over to strangers houses and not to smoke weed.

You Me and A HORROR Movie - A lesson

I'm not a fan of horror movies and on Sunday night I saw a horror movie for the first time. My friend borrowed a copy off this horror movie called The Last House On the Left. I wasn't scared and I didn't plan on watching it but, my room mates were screaming and I think that got me excited so I finally gave in and decided to watch. My friend gave me a quick recap and then we started to watch it.

I do remember shutting my eyes through a few scenes but those scenes weren't so much spooky ghost stuff or freaky stuff it was pure disgusting stuff that I didn't understand why anyone would watch it. I couldn't figure out if the movie was a thriller or a "horror movie." It went like this a kid with a messed up family constituting of the father being a rapist and a killer and the brother of the father being a psycho path as well. The movie's a bunch of bloddy murders and in the end the girl and her family survive where as the bunch of psychos die.

The movie made me wonder, WHO WOULD WRITE THAT STUFF? I remember laughing at how strange some of the scenes were, it was so ridiculous. I did shut my eyes cause watching a girl get raped by a scary psycho is HORROR but that's not the kind of horror I'd want to watch for a thrill or whatever the reason is that people watch those movies. I think some one would have to be seriously disturbed to write the story/ script for the movie or even so much so as direct it.

The only fun we really had was the running commentry through the film, during the exciting scenes, the scenes which had the girl running away and then the scarry music all of us would start screaming "Run!" "Oh no, TURN BACK" as if the character could hear us. I really wonder WHY I sat through that. I guess I just hoped finally the story would get better or the movie would get scarry but none of those things happened.

Raping of tenege girls by pyscho old men and the murder of these girls are tragic things that happen in real life and you read about it in the news and it's a tragedy, I don't think the news shows it for entertainment purpouses.

After the movie was over I wanted to go to sleep my friends,however, were to scared to sleep. They wanted to leave the main light on but I asked them if they could just put the tube light on and they agreed. They were like "Was that the first horror movie you watched?" and I said, "Yes" but when they started naming the horror movies they had watched I realized that I'd already watched them but I didn't categorize them as horror movies I categorized them as trashy movies.

I realized I'm not waisting my time on horror movies and instead I'd be better of doing some thing productive like reading,school work or sleeping.

But I did learn a bunch of things from the movie, or the movie reenforced a bunch of lessons... read about that in my next blog.

I'd love to hear your opinion on horror movies. So you could write me a comment with your experience or beliefs or whatever.

Love,
