just a quick note on Souljacker's post:
"Entertainment is something that amuses, pleases, or diverts...."
hmmm... question: when you're driving down a motorway and see a car wreck it 'diverts' your attention, but is it 'entertainment'? me thinks not.

'diverts' in context:
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=entertainment
so what does 'divert' mean precisely?
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=divert
3. To entertain by distracting the attention from worrisome thoughts or cares; amuse. See Synonyms at amuse.
note diversion by AMUSEMENT.
still think 'haunting' films are all exclusively amusing to boot?
and surely haunting films do not divert your attention, but CONCENTRATE it on the very things you might hope to escape through entertainment, duh!
yes, I think an 'enagement' with a film of a serious nature is far more appropriate http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=engage
4. To attract and hold the attention of; engross: a hobby that engaged her for hours at a time.
remember kids, it's on the internet, so it must be true!
