I often feel one of my biggest disconnects from people on here is my lack of enthusiasm for most horor movies and even most horor genres. I don't really get it. Maybe I'm a bit to sensative to some things, rape, jump scares and torture don't really do it for me, I often want to close my eyes or look away. I think a lot of it comes from my upbringing. I didn't watch an R rated movie until I was 14 or 15 and it wasn't until I was 16 that I was "allowed" to. I honestly grew up watching nothing but the Disney channel (even some nick was to bad for my mom to let me watch(yes way to sheltered)). I had 3 sisters a mom and no dad, so the movies I watched were chick flix, almost exclusively. I read more than anything. Adventure novels, fantasy, sci-fi(Dune, while not a great movie, is the best sci-fi book series ever). By the time I was 16, 17, 18 I was into more trash than horor. I was an actor most of my child hood. At one theatre, when I was 16, the green room had "The Toxic Avenger" in it. I watched it and my life was changed. The director went on to show me many Troma movies. Another friend of the director's and I heard I like Troma and showed me "Evil Dead Inbread Rednecks", sadly it wouldn't be until 3 years later that I met @Box and he showed me the rest of Chris S. Anyway I could rant longer about how I got to my tastes today, but the point is Box and I originally were wanting this site to be a sanctuary of trash, which it certanly is, but I never really thought about horor much. Obviously I've seen the mainstream titles, Fridays, Jasons, Halloweens, HO1000C, etc... and I watch things with Box sometimes but that's about it. But when the boards fell, horor took over here for sure, and I get that. Most people here, that is what their #1 interest is. I just have a hard time jumping into the more extreme non-mainstream horor things and I would like some suggestions on what to watch first to get my tastes acclimated with out scaring me off from horor.

TLDR.
So I guess what I'm asking is what should someone with limitted expirience with horor movies watch first to try and ease out of the mainstream titles.

I am not a big fan of cannibal stuff. My advice is to go for stuff that you like. For instance, I like a lot of moody, and philosophical horror, not a lot of people like what I like, but I wouldn't settle.

You should read the book, it is even scarier than the film.
