The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

I Should Have Run

I should have listened to my gut

When it told me to run

But I stayed

Much longer than I would like to admit

Now it’s too late

Running is no longer an option

I’ve been watching a lot of psycho-thrillers and horror movies lately because I love those kind of movies and that’s where this poem stemmed from. I am one of those people that watch things according to their mood. Sometimes I love cheesy romances, sometimes I want to watch something funny. And sometimes, I just want to watch some terrifying.

I think the weather is also making me want to watch horror movies. It’s been very cloudy and rainy which is the perfect weather to get cosy and watching something that will make you scream… and guarantee you don’t get a good nights sleep because there’s a weird shadow in your room that I’m pretty sure is moving…

One that I watched recently (I may have mentioned this already) was Fresh. I would really recommend it to horror and psycho-thriller fans out there. It was very different from any other horror movies I’ve seen. And the acting was great. Sebastian Stan is such a versatile actor. I was really impressed. It is pretty disturbing so I would recommend avoiding the movie if you get easily disturbed by horror movies.

I also thought I would share some songs that may fit the psycho-thriller theme:

Do you guys enjoy horror movies? Do you enjoy psycho-thrillers? If so, what are some of your favourite ones? Any recommendations for what I should watch next? Let me know in the comments below, I’ma always looking for some new movies to watch!

    I LOVE horror and psychological thrillers! Some of my favorites that come to mind are 13 Ghosts and Identity. I’ve seen so many, I can’t believe Those are the only 2 I can think of!

    You and I are opposites, Pooja, I strongly dislike horror movies because of the violence. One of my aunts, God rest her soul, loved those movies. The bottom video was not available due to a copyright issue. The Talking Heads were pretty cool in their day!

    I used to watch horror -thriller a lot when I was a child. Back then, getting scared made the movie fun.
    With time, I stopped watching that genre. I would definitely watch your recommendation.
    I would recommend you “See no evil”, however, I’m sure you have watched it already 😛

      I don’t watch horror movies as much as I used to but I still love watching them occasionally especially in rainy weather.

      Yup I saw “See No Evil” but when I was super young (I don’t know why my parents let me watch it) and I was so terrified I had nightmares for weeks 😳

    Not really a fan of horror movies; my sister practically forced me to watch three of them with her and my eyes were closed for half of the entire movie! Horror movies mess with my head and make me think there’s something in my room related to what I watched. But, right now I am interested in psychological thrillers (is it the same as horror?), do you have any recommendations?

      Horror is definitely not for everyone, lol! Yeah I mostly stick with psycho-thrillers too because I hate ghosts/paranormal stuff and most horror movies have that.
      I would recommend the classic psycho-thrillers like The Silence Of The Lambs, Friday the Thirteenth, Prom Night, Psycho, American Psycho. Also some newer ones like Gone Girl and Girl on the Train.

    I kind of like horror movies but only around this time of year. I have trouble sleeping if a storyline feels too realistic. I’ve experienced ghosts so anything involving haunting or poltergeists is a big no. I do enjoy cult classics, cheesy horror that’s too over-the-top to be believable, and anything Rob Zombie has a hand in 🖤
    Honestly tho- my favorite Halloween movies are Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family 😆

      Mine is the opposite. If it’s realistic (as in with psychos or something) it doesn’t scare me. It’s paranormal stuff like ghosts that freak me out lol. I’ve had a lot of ghost experiences too but that’s a story for another day.

      I love Hocus Pocus too and The Addams Family is one of my absolute favourites!

    No! I do not enjoy them (reason below).

    I’ve watched some “horror comedy” videos, and enjoyed a lot.😂

    2. Do you enjoy psycho-thrillers?

    The human minds (script writer, director, cameraman) behind the movie EXAGGERATE the story on the plot.

    Showing some of the inhuman activities can be avoided. They do not exist in the reality.

    I just think, IT’S NOT THE BEST USE OF A HUMAN MIND.

    Why I do not watch horror movies?

    I see the theme of your poem and it’s a good tease. But I think you would find it interesting to add a few details based on your discussion. I think you poem could be as elaborate as your analysis and discussion. “What the poem is about” explanation could be in it. For example, the theme “I should have run” Here’s a quick outline first draft:

    So they say
    in every cell an opportunity for
    interstitial spirits to haunt spaces
    beyond rational mind and ego
    mostly benign intuitions
    that guard against intrusions

    like an unease
    a quivering stomach and beyond

    a gut knows when
    foreign intrusions threaten, but
    the ego doubts the irrational

    In this house they said
    dark mocking samurai spirits

    No need I had thought to leave,
    no need because
    this house of dishonor,
    is mere brick and stone

    but when I picked up the sword
    my consciousness waned
    like falling into a dream

    I knew what a samurai felt

    My gut told me to run
    but I felt intense shame

    Seppuku, hara-kiri
    I kept hearing like a song

    My gut told me to run
    but the shame of what I had done
    flooded my cells with disgrace

    my gut had told me to run
    but it was too late.

    It was invaded and I
    needed to embrace
    pain, to plunge the sword
    into my gut and twist.

    I’m not a big horror movie kind of guy. I’ve seen all of the classic horror movies. I watch the newer ones with my daughter on occasion. She loves scary movies, even if they keep her up all night. At least she doesn’t bug me when she can’t sleep. She’s a teenager so I don’t have much control over that. I think most people watch movies according to their mood. I’m the same way. But I like action/adventure movies, comedies, some sci-fi movies.

    I read several books from Stephen King and watched the Scream movie series. That’s about it. Also a couple of stories from Edgar Allan Poe. I have to say a good scare is actually very relaxing. I don’t know why this is the case. I mean global warming and inflation are scare enough, but still it is a different scare than the movie or book scare…

      I think movie/book scares make us forget about the actually scary things in our life which is why it can be relaxing. I like Edgar Allan Poe a lot and some of his work is so hauntingly beautiful. It just stick with you.

    I like a good horror movie but at some point, in the 80’s it became more about gore than scaring you. Case in point Friday the 13th don’t get me wrong the first six are good however I think they should have stopped there. The Exorcist and Salem’s Lot are two good horror movies both from the 70’s.
