Unlike the more contemporary zodiac signs, the Chinese zodiac follows a lunar scale that repeats over a twelve-year cycle. This places people of different generations under the same sign, one of which happens to the Rooster. This personality type evokes confidence; Roosters are quick thinkers looking for stimulating films that don't take any shortcuts.
In case of the horror genre, the Rooster sign prefers those that don't rely on jump scares, but are interested in stories carrying fear as a theme. The reason for this comes down to their preference of creative experiences. Since the Rooster personality preferences are so unique, here are five horror films they will love and five they shouldn’t take a chance on.
10 Hate: House At The End Of The Street (2012)
A teenage girl moves to a new neighborhood and develops an attraction to the boy at the end of the street. However, she soon discovers her new love interest was involved in the death of his little sister as his true nature comes out.
It’s a wonder how an A-list celebrity like Jennifer Lawrence ever got around to adding House at the End of the Street to her list of credits. Roosters generally carry very sharp wits, and they will be able to see the film's big twist coming from a mile away. The scares are entirely contingent on the uneasiness around the protagonist’s settings, but the lack of a payoff will frustrate Rooster personality types.
9 Love: Shutter Island (2010)
Two US Marshals arrive at a psychiatric facility to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of an inmate. Upon arrival, Marshal Teddy Daniels finds himself evading capture on the island after its inhabitants are found to hold secrets he would like kept in the dark.
Thrilling, scary, and all-around eerie, Shutter Island is a bold movie that seeks to bamboozle the viewer out of everything they see in its runtime. Inquisitive Roosters will relish the replay value the film provides as the second viewing uncovers details audiences didn’t catch the first time. The draw for Rooster personalities will be the see-saw nature of the script, and it will feel like an accomplishment should they figure out the twist before it arrives.
8 Hate: Hostel (2005)
Young American men look to seduce beautiful European women in a sparsely populated town, only to learn that they’ve landed in the middle of a torture facility. With no option but to run, the protagonists realize there are things far worse than death.
People born in the year of the Rooster are rarely if ever satisfied by mindless violence, and they won’t find any kind of depth hidden in Hostel. It's not in Roosters' personalities to waste time watching needless sexual sequences. And since there's no meaning behind the graphic nature of the content, it might even feel like an insult to Roosters' intelligence to finish the film.
7 Love: Split (2016)
Three teenage girls are abducted by a man and held captive for unknown reasons. Soon enough, it becomes evident that the man is host to a number of different personalities, the most powerful of whom looks to awaken the most violent persona yet.
Easily the greatest performance of James McAvoy’s career, Split not only benefits from his immaculate performance as dozens of personalities, but also boasts a genuinely horror feel. Roosters will no doubt love dissecting each personality as the film dedicates enough time to understand the villain’s characterization. The most impressive point for Roosters, though, would be that the build-up to the horror sequences feel earned rather than the film relying on cheap jump scares.
6 Hate: Seed Of Chucky (2004)
Glen, the son of killer dolls Chucky and Tiffany, is prompted by his loneliness to resurrect his parents. Unfortunately, they retain their thirst for murder and continue their spree after coming back to life. It also becomes apparent that Glen might not be their only child.
Horror-comedy can be charming if done right, yet can become over-the-top to the point of ridiculousness in the wrong hands. The only thing Roosters will find scary here is the inappropriateness of the film’s premise. Roosters aren't really big on relationship drama, either, especially when it's spliced in a horror film. Seed of Chucky lacks the intellectual quality and character likability that they prefer.
5 Love: The Shining (1980)
Jack Torrance is hired to become the caretaker of an isolated hotel, which seemingly turns out to be the location holding trapped spirits. As time goes by, the man descends into madness, something that puts his wife and child in danger.
In what is an exception to Rooster personalities’ otherwise liking for fast-paced entertainment, The Shining will prove to be worth the substantial runtime. Viewers are encouraged to totally invest themselves in the hotel backdrop, with hundreds of interpretations possible for the eeriness the place brings about. What Roosters will love, though, are the bits of social commentary in The Shining that will appeal to their deep-thinking nature even after the film ends.
4 Hate: Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones (2014)
A teenager tries to solve the mysterious murder of a neighbor by recording events around him. However, he soon learns he’s made himself the target of a malevolent entity who will stop at nothing to make him suffer.
Most of the Paranormal Activity films are more gimmick-based than anything, but The Marked Ones tries too hard to be like some kind of horror game simulation. The lack of creativity is what will turn Rooster personalities off as the film rehashes earlier plot lines. Originality is what this zodiac sign wants, and there's really none they'll find here.
3 Love: Saw (2004)
Jigsaw, delusional serial killer believes he’s doing a public service by ensnaring people in torturous traps. Trapped in a grimy bathroom, Jigsaw's victims have to team up to escape, but neither of them are prepared for the grand scheme set by the villain.
The series as a whole has been perceived as being overly reliant on the traps, but the first Saw film is actually an efficiently made thriller that brings in real scares. Here, Roosters will relate to the message behind each trap as the theme of the movie is to appreciate life. The scares are presented through grand reveals, and Rooster personalities will be presently surprised by the twists in the story.
2 Hate: Mother! (2017)
The outwardly peaceful lifestyle of a married woman is threatened when another couple interferes in their lives. Now shaken about her existence, the woman, known simply as "mother" begins to question everything around her as the world itself seems to crumble.
mother! is even more bizarre than the premise might suggest, and while that might appeal to those who favor allegorical films, it’s too “out there” for Rooster personalities. mother! also suffers from the lack of a coherent plot, with hundreds of random things taking place without explanation.
1 Love: The Conjuring (2013)
A married couple of paranormal experts are called in to provide a solution for a reported haunting of a large family. As they begin plans to purge the house of this entity, they are in for a real fight as the spirit decides to target a specific person from the family.
Rooster personalities appreciate traditional aspects of things, and The Conjuring is a throwback to the classic age of cinema where horror relied on tried-and-tested techniques. Its simple yet scary premise is what Roosters will find most fascinating. Even the jump scares here are perfectly set up, something that will no doubt impress this zodiac sign for the creativity it displays.
