    Subtle supernatural horror is my fucking favorite.

    It doesn’t spoon feed you the scare, it doesn’t cheaply jump scare you like you’re a fucking toddler incapable of understanding danger like most low quality films and lazy video games do.

    It simply brings into your realization a certain primal fear that something isn’t right, and you can’t explain why.

    It’s unsettling because you don’t know for sure if you’re going to immediately die, which makes it even more frightening.

    It’s called uncanny.
