 Feel like I need a psychological deep-dive to figure out what horror movie I should watch.

-I strongly dislike seeing people get tortured. Unless they deserve it.
-Subtlety is good.
-But I saw The Haunting which is like the OG understated classic horror movie, and didn’t get scared.
-Explanation of the scary bad thing ruins it.
-But I want my curiosity satisfied.
-I keep watching recent horror such as Babadook and Hereditary, that’s supposed to be like a return to being anti-cheap jumpscares, and hated all of it.

Who wants to be my scary movie consultant
