With the arrival of Resi 4, I started thinking: Hmm. What is more scary, flms or games?
Personally, I think games.

I find that games are more immersive than movies and therefore scarier.

If you were intelligent enough to read the first sentence of my post you wouldn't have such a hard time understanding.

Neither are any more scary, it's the individual film/game which determines how scary it is.
For example Resident Evil 4 is scarier than a lot of films but then The Shining is scarier than a lot of games.

Films are more frightening. You're in control when playing a game so you get to decide how to play out the story, which really takes any scariness out of it.
I tend not to be scared when playing a horror game as I'm concentrating so hard on playing. Things jump out, but I deal with them like I would on any other game.

Games are probably more frightening as you cannot 'hide nehind the couch' as souch or wind the scary part on
With a game your using more concentration so even something that makes you jump is twice as frightening. All of your nerves and senses are heightened due to the concentration level needed for playing a game, when concentrating your more likely to get sucked in to a frightening thing
Having said this, it is easier to identify with characters in a film because they are humans rather than computer graphics. All gore is terrifying in a film as it looks real and like it's happening to a person, whereas the graphical quality is not yet that good in games to make it seem real
But, things that involve special effects are worse in games as things like ghosts look like they're in their natural environment. Camera techniques can be frightening in each if implemented properly

The thing that scares me most is someone ripping a rib out my chest and using it to stab me in the eye.
Probably games, beacause they are interactive. Films can still be frightening though.
