Who am I? What is my interest in film?

 My name is charlie and I am a college student in Film class. This blog will be where I post my response and analysis of the films we study for class.

After the conjuring I spent the next few years scrounging the internet for all sorts of horror movies trying to find one that really really scared me. Since I discovered my love for horror movies, I have found many movies that I thought were good and/or scary, however I still have not found that bone-chilling nightmare inducing horror that some people report experiencing after seeing any mediocre horror movie.

Of course I had no interest in watching old people movies so my answer was no. But the conversation got me curious and eventually I found myself watching all four of these films within the next couple of days. I found The Exorcist, Th
