I find any Steven Segal movie scary...esp for whoever bankrolled his movies grin

Ok, seriously...there's a huge difference as to what one considers "scary" since most "scary" movies are just gross-out movies like the Fri 13th, Elm Str, and the Saw movie franchises which imho are all pathetic attempts. To me, I have to agree with Paul's assessment of the Exorcist as this movie delves much deeper and makes one reflect on what they believe and what is possible or beyond our understanding of what we know, which to me is, well, scary. Another movie I found to make me feel like that, somewhat, was "Carrie".
