Silent horror movies

When watching a movie that doesn’t have any sounds but some music in the back, it leaves you in some sort of suspense to where you can start putting your own words to what is going on in the movie. When you’re watching a movie and you can’t hear what is going on and it’s a horror movie you start to imagine that the characters in the movie are saying some scary things because you know it’s scary and you can’t help but try to do something that is only going to make it more horrifying. When most people watch a horror movie they are watching it to be scared or at least leave with some sort of satisfaction with the horror film, so when you put your own words to what is really going on in the movie its most likely going to be a bit more horrifying then what they would really be saying.

Also silent horror films can be a little bit scarier then horror films that have sound, because when there is talking and there is music you can almost know what is about to happen in the movie and it doesn’t really keep you jumping, however when there is no sound in the movie at all you don’t know when something scary is about to happen, you can’t really tell when the scary person is about to jump out and kill someone. Or when things are about to go bad, because most of these things you figure are coming when you hear the people talking about it or when you hear the sound of the music change. So when there is no sound to the movie it might seem a little slow at first and not very exciting at first but when you really think about it, the no sound effect at all leaves the movie with a sort of suspense that might be appealing to some people.

Silence in movies might be better off used only in horror or comedy movies because even without the sound it would still keep the people interested in the movie, as long as there was enough going on in the movie to keep the audience attached, however not all movies would be able to pull off a silent film because not a whole lot of other genera’s would be able to keep the audience attached to what is going on in the movie, because most movies would need the music and the words to be able to keep up with what is going on. So I think that making it a silent horror movie can at a touch of horror to the movie because you don’t know word for word what is going on, instead you are putting your own words into what is going on in the movie.
