subject: Enjoying Horror Movies Online In Three Different Ways [print this page] Some people simply like the thrill and suspense of watching scary films. Sitting on the edge of the seat all through the run time is extreme enjoyment for them. If you're one of these people, unfortunately, going the theater or renting a DVD title isn't possible all the time. Good thing that you can have horror movies online in three different methods.
Purchasing and Downloading Titles
These days, there are a lot of websites from which you can select and download scary titles. Many of them offer a lot of choices too - from the popular blockbusters to the independently made ones. There are basically two payment means available. If you enjoy watching once in a while, you may go for an option wherein you pay each time you download a flick. But you may also pay a fixed monthly rate which allows you to download a specific number of movies.
User reviews may be read prior to downloading, to ensure it's worth your budget. These reviews are written and posted by individuals who have actually seen the flick, and not for promotional purposes. Download time depends on the size of the file. That's why having a broadband internet connection sees to it that you can have your adrenaline rush the soonest time possible.
Paid or Free Movie Streaming
Aside from downloading, another option exists: streaming. In this method, you don't have to wait for minutes or hours of downloading time in order to enjoy your pick. The moment the compressed file reaches your computer, playback starts right away. However, you need to have a particular media player which is capable of decompressing the file to enjoy online streaming.
There are websites that offer free streaming, but with certain drawbacks. For instance, the formatting doesn't come in high resolution. Also, the titles to choose from can be very limited. Going from one website to the next may have to be done just to find a horror flick you wish to enjoy. But there are websites wherein you have to pay each time you stream, so you don't have to put up with those disadvantages.
No let's briefly discuss the advantages and disadvantages of streaming. Because no file is stored on your computer's hard drive, there's no need to fret about viruses, trojans and all those other malicious wares. But it may also be a disadvantage to some as the title isn't stored on their hard drive. Additionally, a slow internet connection and computer may bring about interrupted viewing.
Free Downloads Via Peer-to-Peer Sharing
Peer-to-peer, or P2P, file sharing enables you to have a dose of your bloodcurdling flicks free of charge. The way it works is simple: you get the file from online people who have it in their respective hard drives. You download tiny bits of the file, or torrents, simultaneously from different people until you've completed the entire file. Likewise, the files you have on your hard drive may be enjoyed by others.
To enjoy horror movies online via peer-to-peer sharing, you have to install a torrent software or client. You will find that it works just like a search engine - you key in the title, click on the search button, and a list of related searches shows up. Downloading time depends on the number of seeders, or how many people who have the flick you're looking for are logged in.
