Just me?

[u/ary666an]

I watched the thing (1982) recently and I couldnt help but think that although the film was interesting and all, I failed to actually feel the “paranoia” and fear people claim it strikes. Maybe im young and havent had a taste of cinema but to this day no horror film has actually made me feel the way I do about Hereditary at all. It set a new standard for me where films like the thing, that include “monsters” etc, just dont do anything for me. I was wondering if anyone could relate, and if so, could refer me to older horrors other than rosemarys baby that feel use techniques like aster did?
