AAAH-SPORKS!!! 
Alfred Hitchcock is incredibly good at playing with the mind. Psycho really did freak me out at parts. When Marion went up into the attic of the house...I was seriously on the edge of my seat... |

i simply hated the grudge
Yes, the grudge sucked. but as I said earlier, Silence of the Lambs is not, in my opinion, one of the scariest movies, simply one of the best written horror movies. |

I agree. I could actually see M. Night Shyamalan becoming the present-day Hitchcock. |

| I’m skeptical about that, I mean, the Sixth Sense was great, but the Villiage and Signs weren’t, in my opinion, very scary (or very easy to follow). for example, in signs, he establishes that the aliens cant be seen in reflections, as seen by when the main character holds the knife under the door and can’t see anything. but at the end of the movie, the oldest son looks in the TV and sees the alien’s reflection behind him. |

| When Gibson tried to see the alien by means of the knife reflection, he had a very poor angle at getting the knife to reflect the contents of the cellar. The alien was in there; it just wasn’t in the reflection of the knife. |

| Oh, yeah it was mel gibson, sorry i forgot. but on the topic of the movie, how did the alien come so close to the knife as to almost grab it, but still not be seen? It just doesn’t make sense to me |

Yes, that’s exactly what Hitchcock movies are like, probably because you weren’t allowed to show stuff like decapitations and blood spraying out everywhere back in the 1950’s. He’s also proof that you don’t need that stuff.
A great example of this is the famous "shower scene" from Psycho. It switches back and forth between so many angles, and so quickly, that it really freaks you out-and at the same time, it avoids explicit gore. |

Um, the alien would have hidden so as not to be seen by the knife, then lunged forward to grab it, or something like that. It’s not like they’re invisible. |
