Horror movies are good for health.
Horror movies have a positive effect on the human body.
This is the conclusion of psychologist Mark Griffiths of Nottingham Trent University.
In his words: “while watching a horror movie we are experiencing something that is unlikely to have experienced in real life. It produces a cathartic effect, providing access to emotions and the accumulated disappointment.”
Plus, horror movies give a spike in the activity of the immune system. And it was established by the staff of Coventry University. The experts took on the analysis blood from volunteers before, during, and after watching horror films. As a result, after watching “horror” in the blood increased concentration of white blood cells. A similar situation is observed when injected into the body of the infectious agent.
According to the researchers, a horror film triggers something similar to a reaction known as the reaction of fight or flight. The blood is ejected a large amount of adrenaline, which mobilizes the immune system and can even contribute to weight loss. However, if a person has problems with the heart, like a surge of adrenaline potentially deadly for him.
