it's funny that you say this:

If you let yourself get absorbed into the moment, the atmosphere and chills in it are striking



and then say this:

the fake arse stop animation doesn't even frighten my 7yo who is scared at Hotel Transylvania,



the 2 comments make no sense when read together

every horror movie requires a very large suspension of disbelief and for you to "buy in" to the movie because we all know this is the truth

I agree. I believe you missed my point with the second statement. I was calling out that other poster for being a self righteous douchebag.

The flaw in your comparison of my statements though is that with one movie I was referring to suspending belief in regards to its premise (Blair Witch) while the other was it's visual properties (Evil Dead). Those are two completely different items. When the visuals are not authentic looking, it is difficult for me to feel the tension. I like ED a lot, but I have never found it scary due to this.
