>>54293008 The right one doesn't look scary at all. It's why most western horror films are bye bye man tier these days. Too many fat dumb american directors who think BIG DOG = SCARY DOG and jump scares are what makes horror.

Like you were trying to use a birdshot when you should have used buckshot. That many little microaggressions, like tiny pellets. A true troll, ney, a GUD troll, knows only how to focus with pin-point precision. To attract all the flies with the singular grain of honey. To put grams of porn in a coca cola bottle and shake it up. To rap god on some furry insect demon hypothesized about in Orwell-Lovecrafian horror the likes of which Mandingo has never seen.

>>54293031 >BIG DOG = SCARY DOG Are you literally braindead? That's exactly what the one of the left is. A big blind dog with blood coming out of its mouth. If you think that's a great design then your yellow fever is extending past your genitals. Fucking faggot.

>>54293060 No the one on the left looks like a normal dog but with aspects that make it seem off, that's what makes it good horror. The one on the left is just BIG MONSTER DOG RAAARGH which isn't scary unless you're 10 years old

>>54293031 Western horror faces a challenge in that things that are recognizable aren't scary to many westerners, because we assume we can dominate anything we can recognize. That means that in the west you have to go for an aesthetic that is really alien and exaggerated. Asians are cowardly so pedestrian stuff scares them. As I said above - the dog on the left is just a fucking dog. I know how to handle dogs. That dog looks injured, not dangerous. The image makes me want to rescue the dog, feed it, and take it to a vet - not run from it.

>>54292624 The one on the left just looks like the poor pups has severe mange. It inspires sympathy, not fear. If I encountered it in real life there would be some fear since starving animals can be dangerously aggressive but it would not be without the understanding that it's just sick and hungry which lends me confidence to my own strength. The one on the right looks far more unsettling, not because it's bigger but because it has no eyes, ears, or skin and despite the similarities in form is clearly not actually a dog, it's some nightmarish hell monster and therfore falls outside normal and predictable rules of behavior. If I saw that the one I wouldn't know if such a thing even could be killed because it's existence calls into question my understanding of the very nature of my reality, that is horrifying.

Nobody in the thread is talking about how these characters move and act. The Silent Hill dog has weird jitters whereas the knockoff is just le big skinless wolf

3 hours later 54294994 Anonymous
>>54294352 That's the point though, the silent hill enemies are not supposed to be "big evil monsters". They're supposed to just be unsettling, and usually symbolic. They give the impression of looking normal but with something slightly off about them. Big skinless dog is just in your face and leaves no ambiguity.

>>54294994 Not really. Most of the enemies are pretty grotesque. The only thing that might push the right over the top a bit is being skinless, otherwise it's just the dog equivalent of the nurses having no face. Face it, the groaners in the orginal game were just a weak design.

>>54294994 They're still grotesque and off, it's just that now we have the technology to make a decent skinless dog and not a weird red lump of flesh. Better example of showing cultural difference would be the cover art.

>>54296130 Skinless dogs kind of miss the mark. They don't hit that uncanny valley unease because they're too obviously different, while also not hitting the fear of the unknown because they still look like dogs and are thus still somewhat familiar. They sit in a shitty middle zone where they don't really hit either side making them completely shit in terms of horror.

>>54292947 The left side is unironically more creepy than the right though. The left side is a fucked up version of an animal that everyone knows and the right side is just muscles or some shit in the shape of a dog. Seeing a corruption of something you're familiar with will always be more frightening than a made up monster.

>>54296425 It doesn't look like a corruption though. It looks pretty much like an everyday starving mangy dog. Disease, hunger, and predation have their fearful associations but there's nothing particularly creepy or uncanny about it.

5 hours later 54296645 Anonymous
>>54296566 Well it's the mangy diseased look, plus big teeth, white eyes and such. It looks like a usual stray dog, but just off slightly, like something isn't quite right about it. It's supposed to be subtle like that. Plus it's the intro monster, to the game, it's supposed to be your first clue that the area you're in is off as it slowly introduces other more fucked up monsters. A big skinless, eyeless muscle dog just gives the whole thing away too fast, it's too unsubtle.

>>54296940 You might be experiencing an autistic meltdown anon, it's time to take a step back and relax. Not everyone who isn't a japanophile is an american, and not being scared of that non-scary dog doesn't mean someone likes conjuring tier jumpscary films. Furthermore, subtlety isn't necessarily good in everything and most of your precious chinese horror movies are not subtle at all and go all out with comical amounts of guts, blood and perverted torture methods.

>>54293104 Asian horror is all about psychology. They want you to scare yourself, which can be a lot scarier. They like to make you question your own senses and give you a prolonged sense of discomfort. Americans just want to be startled, maybe so that they can feel the thrill similar to when they hear gunshots.
