The Documentary Essayist vs The Atmospheric Horror Seeker
Two taste personalities. See how their Taste DNA differs — and which one is you.
"You chase documentaries that deliver either perfect moments or revealed paradoxes."
narrative_resolution: Strongly prefers documentaries that achieve closure — either complete arcs or revealed paradoxes
mastery_obsession_focus: Values mastery/discipline as central drama, but not universally; accepts systemic critique equally
affirmative_reverent_tone: Equally values affirmative reverence and critical questioning; both achieve 10s
"You need horror that was already over before it began."
inescapable_predetermined_doom: fate sealed at frame one, narrative is just the reveal
grief_as_horror_substrate: grief is the wound the supernatural enters through
slow_dread_escalation: dread blooms across runtime rather than arriving in jolts
ritual_and_folk_horror_framework: communal or occult systems that override individual will
psychological_collapse_and_unreliable_reality: a mind disintegrating from inside, perception can't be trusted
