I'll tell you that whom you watch a movie with changes how you feel about the movie. When I watch Event Horizon or The Ring (my two favorite horror movies) by myself in the dark, I get that giddy yet ominous feeling in the pit of my stomach. Recently however, I have been watching (pre-approved) horror movies with my 13-year old son and the feeling is not the same. He understands the movies concepts but, perhaps because I hyped them up too much, did not find them scary at all and I, for lack of a better word, could "feel" his emotion and it overrode mine. The movies felt tired and dry even though I knew I liked the movies on my own. When I watch horror movies with my wife, I get almost overly excited to the point of being nauseous - I love it - and she hates watching them because they make her on edge and stomach feels queasy. Equally, when we watch teenage angst movies, I find myself getting strangely involved in the show when my son is watching them and sitting next to me, yet on my own I wouldn't even bother with this type of regurgitation. I don't know why I "feel" what the person next to me feels when watching a movie, and if this happens to anyone else but me, however I'm sure whom you choose to watch a movie with will ultimately change the way you enjoy the movie, rather you realize it or not.
