F is for Fear
When Karla came home yester night I realized that it was already Friday. She only comes home during weekends. When the thought sank into my thought-bombarded brain, I was like "Oh no! I didn't know." I got disoriented to day again. Happens a lot to me. The good thing is I am now aware that today is Saturday, 6th day of the last month of the year.
I've been watching a lot of movies lately, but not in movie houses. Just simple home movie marathon. I'm catching up. Most of the movies I watched lately were thrillers, psychological thrillers to be exact. I am not fond of horror movies, but if the theme dwells in the human soul and mind you can expect me to sit and watch. Never mind if there's no popcorn around. I don't usually grab the thing when I'm watching movies. Just pure "privacy" is enough. Morbid horrors don't appeal to me. They don't scare me enough. No, they don't scare me at all.
I remember watching Secret Window and Panic Room. These movies just made me grip my seat. Murders and death don't scare me. What caused these events do. When I realized what Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) had become in Secret Window, I became paranoid and never got out of it. It was bloody scary.
In Panic Room, I got my head keep wondering how Meg (Jodie Foster) and Sarah Altman (Kristen Stewart) would be able to get out of the room or house safely. I've just remembered the scene when someone was hit in the face while the 12-year old Sarah was a witness. The memory is giving me shivers down my spine. I sometimes get carried away when a child is involved. The incident was traumatic. I don't like children being traumatized. Sarah Altman was diabetic and she needed her shot. She was already having hypoglycemia. When asked what would happen if she didn't get her shot, I said "Dead." Okay, I went ahead too much. There's still coma before death. When Kristen uttered those words, I cringed.
While roaming the net and reading articles about Twilight earlier, I found out that Jackson Rathbone will be in a thriller/horror called Dread. It's based from a book about students documenting people's fears. I want to watch it. It intrigues me. What would I do in the face of the thing I fear most? I'm close to addressing and facing my fear, but I am always on guard. It's too scary for me though there were times I don't mind talking about it. Carlisle was right, "Let the mind protect itself."
