Did it scare you? What age are you?

Just indicate an age range if you want.

I'm 33, I was 33 when I watched it and it didn't scare me in the slightest.

I was able to rationalise that it is just a movie, because it simply didn't stimulate me enough to keep me engaged. I was trying not to speak during it because it was so boring.

If it was really happening to me I'm sure it would be scary, but the suspension of disbelief was not there. I found this concept in a movie to be a total failure.

So, did it scare you? and whats yer age?

Thanks!

I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake

29, didn't find it scary. I found it boring and didn't engage me enough to care about what happened.

Forty-one and age is relative. Chill up my back during the powder on the floor scene, especially with the shriek and the door that slammed shut. I tried to not over-analyze the the plot and enjoy the film. It worked.

Objection, your Honor. You can't preface your second point with first of all.

Not at all. I feel asleep near the end to be awoken by some bitch screaming.

Absolutely not. Saw it in 8th grade, never saw it since because I hated it

I was about 16 when it was first released in theaters and I was scared when I saw it then. I didn't want to go upstairs alone or turn the lights off to go to sleep the night I went to see it. But when I got the DVD and watched it in the privacy of my own home for some reason it wasn't scary anymore at all. I felt silly for having been afraid of it. It's still a very good movie and I do like it, but it's not scary any longer.

44 - I've seen plenty of horror movies in my life, in and out of the theater. This was definitely the scariest experience I've ever had in a theater. I think seeing this in a theater is about 100x scarier than seeing it at home. You're very focused upon it in the theater and so you notice the tiny little subtleties going in the background and what not.

I was 18 when I saw it. and it scared the *beep* out of me. No jumpscares and it messes with your head... But it gets even worse after the movie is over.

I will plant a f--king palm tree in your neck and f--k you f--king gently in its shade!

19 at the moment. Tried to watch it when I was 15 and gave up halfway through. It was boring.
