DJ, I've never been really scared by a video game before, but I was scared while watching the Japanese movie "Audition". I've never been scared by a game or movie before or since then. So movies can definitely be scary, even though you do not control anything. Actually, the fact that you do not have any control over the story or characters in a scary movie make you feel more helpless. Each medium has its own strengths and weaknesses.
And lazy, what you say is for the most part true, but definitely does not apply to all games. Grim Fandango would make for a great movie, Metal Gear Solid would make for a great movie (hell all you'd really need to do it copy the cinemas and add in some more stuff that was used in codecs), and a few others.
