She wasn't afraid. Only way for him to eat is off fear. If you're not afraid, he can't get anything.
I thought that but the movie makes it kinda unclear. Georgie is gone, we know that, and he wasn't floating. But he did say "we all float down here" so there's a chance he does feed on souls and not actual bodies.
She was put there in that position specifically as bait
Which is why less is more in horror films; the more you force the viewer to use their imagination (with atmosphere, sound, and subtext) the more they will draw on their own fears, whereas literal images don't have nearly the same effect. The boogeyman under your bed is always scarier if you never see him.Once you reach adulthood is film really a medium where "scary" can be adequately conveyed? Fear to me is visceral journey. I think the best you can hope for in relation to film is a tension filled experience. I say that because the movie that scared me the most in my entire life really had nothing directly to do with the movie. The movie was Species when I was like 10. It was my still developing sense of sexuality and the abstract thought that you could be about to give a woman them prime Justin Slayer Booty Talk strokes and she turns into a damn alien on your ass.
Books can be scary as fukk because you're only limited in the experience by your own imagination or lack thereof. I started to wonder why can video games (i.e. another visual medium) for example be scarier than movies? I concluded it's because you're directly in control of the character's decision making process in most instances and their outcome. If you're playing RE:3 and you have only one door to open, and feel in your stomach that Nemesis is behind that door you may have to hit a. You have to actually choose to go through that door. You're not watching someone else do it on some voyeur tip like

That's true but he has a point about being less afraid of stuff the older you get. The idea of a movie not being a horror movie because it doesn't scare you is asinine. Not saying you said that but I know that's the discussion around this movie and a few other horror flicks we've had recently so this seemed like the right time to play double dutch and jump in.
If we're really going to say a horror flick isn't a horror flick because it doesn't scare us, then are Ace Ventura or Coming to America not comedies if they don't make you laugh? Of course not. Humor and fear are subjective and what makes one person laugh or scream may not make the next person laugh or scream. Doesn't mean the movies aren't what they are.
Her fear was her dad. She killed him. So she wasn't afraid anymore. He feeds off of fear. So he made the bytch semi float.
He got pissed because she didn't fear him. He said well you will. So I think he makes you float n shyt till u get scared

Countdown to Armageddon
The original had you scared cause its a scary concept and you were a kid. Go back and watch it now, its hilariously cheesy. The new one is way scarier. It does get less scary as the movie goes on, which is also intentional and mirrors the journey of the Losers club overcoming their fears to defeat It.
