I feel like the Shudder player issues make the movie-watching experience scarier
I don't know if anyone else has felt something similar to what I'm about to describe. I basically feel like the issues with the Shudder player make the movie-watching experience scarier. There is something about the player feeling broken, inconsistent, off, old, and outdated that feels a little scary or uncanny. If you're watching some batshit crazy old movie on a broken, shoddy, and strangely dysfunctional player (and seemingly for no good reason), it just makes whatever movie you're watching feel scarier. It's like walking into an old hotel room, house, motel room, etc., and something just isn't right. I don't know if anyone is going to agree with me at all, but I felt like saying something. It doesn't mean the player not working well is a good thing.
