@@geslinam9703 I think a lot of the power of that scene comes from the fact that it involves stairs. I remember being wary of stairs as a child for several reasons, not least the fact that whether you stand at the top and look down, or at the bottom and look up, you can only see a limited area. Beyond that space, something might be lying in wait.

The Japanese use stairs quite a lot in their horror films, and the Japanese make some very good horror films. And I remember once quoting a well-known rhyme on my blog:

As I was walking up the stair
I saw a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away

(There are slight variations in different versions, but that’s my favourite.) Anyway, a friend of mine who was reading the blog at the time said it was the scariest rhyme he’d ever heard, and it resonated very darkly with him.

Your name is unusual, by the way. Might I ask its origin?

they dont make Horror movies like they used to. This film still holds up today.

@christine7956

another good one is seance on a wet afternoon

@shanehughes3511

Id argue that movies such 28 days later, Hereditary, It follows and Get Out will age well and be considered excellent horror movies in 50 years time. Some examples of modern masterpieces in the past 15-20 years.

The problem today is the market is over saturated with horror, so only a few are gems.

The haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor and The Terror however are proof that modern horror may work better on TV.

@@shanehughes3511 yeah there are just as many, if not more, good and great horror movies made today, but with the benefit of time and hindsight we only remember the really good and really bad ones. THere were as many shameless cash-ins and bled-dry sequels as today, look at the universal monsters. The market was absolutely over-saturated as it is today. There are definitely some qualities that older movies have that modern movies simply don't but I think we're letting nostalgia get the better of us

@Swoooze

They do. They're almost too many great horror movies being released these days. It's overwhelming.

@Hernal03

@@alisonpurgatory85 Perhaps it's partially nostalgia --- the black and white photography and slow burn elements in the best of the old psychological / horror films will also challenge most modern viewers who've developed short attention spans (many of the best horrors --- even the modern ones, require that you go along for the ride and immerse yourself in the mood and atmosphere --- might be asking too much from younger audiences that have been weened on gratuitous violence, sex and CGI special effects and have grown accustomed to a more in your face fast paced type of horror). That being said, in addition to The Innocents (1961), some of the better and most subtle older horror/mystery films that were NOT cheesy gratuitous cash grabs (you're right, every age has had those), are films like Night of the Demon (1958); I Bury the Living (1958); Eyes Without a Face (1959); City of the Dead (1960); Night Tide (1961); Carnival of Souls (1962); Burn Witch Burn (1962); The Haunting (1963); Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964); Blood on Satan's Claw (1971); The Wicker Man (1973); Don't Look Now (1973); The Exorcist (1973): The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea (1975); Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975); The Last Wave (1977); The Ninth Configuration (1980); The Changeling (1980); The Shining (1980); Wolfen (1981); Apartment Zero (1988) and many others --- there are even examples of more modern psychological films containing supernatural elements --- a few examples are The Mothman Prophecies (2002); Dark Water (2005); Half Light (2006); Devil (2010); It Follows (2014); Apostle (2018); The Vigil (2019); The Empty Man (2020) --- so you are also correct in saying that good films are still being made within the genre of subtle psychological horror --- one big difference however is that I believe today, those types of films are not nearly as appreciated by modern audiences as they were by audiences in the past.

Having her slowly walking towards the screen would have been the death of me.

@CeruleanWriter

ds37 don't worry, she would have fallen into the water before reaching you.

@yoyoyoaliman

CeruleanWriter yoooo, but what if she walked OVER the water?! 😭

@fintanwatson8137

Alex Fairgood How about: she reaches the edge of the reeds and drops limply over the water. Her flailing body creates a thunderous splash, and there she remains, obscured by the murky waters. But then: (your heartbeat grows rapidly) the black mass of a corpse begins to float towards you under the water...
