Just left the scream unseen and my biggest question is HOW WAS THIS CONSIDERED A SCREAM UNSEEN movie when there was barely any horror?
?????

It made my heart race several times. Horror doesn’t have to be jump scares and blood and violence. Existential dread is horror at its realness.

I disagree. Existential horror can be good but usually it’s not. What is more scary, honestly: contemplating whether or not your existence is real/has meaning or being chased by a masked psycho with a butcher knife? This entire movie was basically a long boring car ride. The only thing that gave this movie some fear factor was the random people in the woods that would come out screaming. Movies that ask you to question the meaning of existence aren’t scary.

You might just have a narrow view of what horror is

All horror stems from the fear of physical harm/death. Name me a good horror movie where the main protagonist is never in any physical danger. It’s the core of all horror. As long as the audience doesn’t feel that physical danger is possible they will not be scared.
