The River is a TV series... It's not the scariest show, even tho it won an award for being it...

Most 'horror' movies are a waste of time

So true, dude. I love horror and have seen a whole lot of horror movies, but there´s like 7-9 shitty movies on one greate. Its like trying to find 20 diamonds in Minecraft within one hour

I agree, though I can temporarily enjoy some horror movies nonetheless because I am no critic so I can enjoy many things, but games take movies' breath away as far as being scared. I regret to say that I cheated in my very first playthrough of Amnesia (turning lights on, turning sound lower at scary parts) because I was just too chicken shit to handle it myself.

I'm not a critic either, doesn't mean I have to like 'horror' that relies on cheap and bland scares

That's fine.

Yeah, that is the good thing about Amnesia; being a game it isn't nearly as predictable and there is more immersion in it.

Games have a more profound effect with the horror genre. Sure, a movie is "Oh my goodness, scary thing on screen", but in the end it's just watching an experience. With a game, it places you into the situation. You feel the stress, the worry, and the relief of your character as opposed to watching someone experience it.

Following on from what Obliviator said, games like Amnesia put YOU in the game, and your actions determine your outcome. Interactivity is what its called. I can't say this for the whole human race but probably more people prefer to interact with something rather than to sit back and watch something. I think its harder work for the brain to pay attention and requires more imagination etc. (Why have I gone into such depth? )
