And if you see here do not scream or she'll rip your tongue out on the scene."

My Best Friend's Wedding. Scary shit.

 

[Croynan]

sorry, i cannot assist you on this one. i detest Horror films.

a lousy one you might enjoy is The Exorcist - i detest the film.

there is another film, again one i truly detest that is not really a horror film, but i found it to be most unpleasant, it is a film considered a classic called Freaks. (by the way that is lousy sentence structure on my part)

eM.

George A. Romero Films... if you like fun gory films. Texas Chain Saw original ver. I like all the classic 60,70,80s films. I just seen a cool independent film called Shallow Ground. There are too many to name.

Glitter. With Mariah Carey.

Couldnt sleep for days, truly terrifying

 

[Rule-Of-Thirds]

Not all that scary but if you want a laugh I suggest getting some liquor and watching 28 Weeks Later (actually, its so bad that you may not even need the booz).

You might try: "Perfect Creature", The "SAW" series .. "Hostel 1-2" ... "Werewolf Hunter" and "We All SCREAM for Ice Cream" .... Enjoy !!

The Japanese version of "The Eye".
and for creepiness that would be "The Entity" or "The Changeling".
For gore...any of the movies already mentioned above...oh' and "Black Christmas" old or new version.

How about any of George Bush's speeches? I know that they scare the hell out of me!

 

[LiquidSky]

The unrated/director's cut of "The Descent" is the best horror movie I've seen in the past 10 years. Excellent acting, strong characters that the viewer actually cares about, and SCARY!!

 

[glorificus]

Anything involving religious topics scare me, seriously, anything with demonic possession, such as The Exercisim of Emily Rose

But I love the Ring

The first grudge gave me chills for weeks, second one was funny as hell (stupid wise) not scary at all.

But you've probably seen them all ready.

 

[LiquidSky]

The Descent really is the best horror to come out in the last few years. Love that movie.

Yep.

**************
Although I love the originals, the remakes of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Hills Have Eyes" are actually quite good for remakes.

The original "Black Christmas" is very scary too.

I'm not sure if Spielberg's Duel qualifies as a horror movie, but it scares the shit out of me whenever I watch it. Here's 4 clips of one long 'chase' scene. Each clip is about 8 1/2 minutes long, but should have you on the edge of your seat.

(If you want to view the videos in Full Screen, I'll add the links below.)

"Evil Dead 2" Funny and scary at the same time.

"Re-Animator" Life alteringly terrifying.

"Hellraiser" The first one, Clive Barker's masterpiece

"Jacob's Ladder" Not really a 'horror movie' in the traditional sense, but you'll never forget it...

A good recomendation. ever heard of Cigarette Burns? It's from the Masters of Horror series. Anyways my friend showed it to me the other night. Didn't really scare me but I love the plot. Basically it about a guy searching for a film of a movie. It said that the movie causes people to go crazy and kill themselves.

I have the entire first series of Masters of Horror on DVD. Cigarette Burns is a joint favourite of mine, along with Haeckel's Tale, which is a twisted and eerie account of necromancy, necrophilia and zombies in 19th Century Massachusetts. It's based on a short story written by Clive Barker.

Horror movies that have impressed me are: Suspiria, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Halloween, The Blair Witch Project, and The Fog. I think the horror genre is probably the most difficult in which to work in terms of generating films which effectively achieve their purpose. Truly scary horror films are few and far between, and most film-makers make a complete balls-up of it all and resort to cheap, unimaginative quick-shock techniques and rivers of gore instead of concentrating on the much more effective and long-lasting psychological approach to horror-movie-making.

I've read excellent reviews for 30 Days of Night and I'm looking forward to seeing it at the cinema next weekend.

 

[gsdx]

Oh, I remember seeing this on TV a number of years back. I was riveted. I'd classify it as psychological thriller.

What I REALLY liked about it is, you never saw the driver of the semi. I remember thinking, "Who IS this guy and why is he doing this?"

Good stuff.

Which is precisely what Dennis Weaver was thinking as well.

I think the thing I liked about it most was that there was no 'trick photography' in it. It would have been so easy to simply speed up the film, but then it would have looked so hokey.

 

[gsdx]

Yup, which is why it was so well done. One was drawn INto the situation with Dennis. It's been years since I saw the movie, but I don't recall there being a "final" resolution to that question.

I remember thinking that about The Birds as well. Why did they behave as they did? Though I heard years later that it's possible the birds ate poisoned shellfish resulting in their bizzare behavior.

Speaking of which, there's another decent film to watch. Disney studios provided bird animation for the movie as well.



Agreed.

In Duel, we never find out who the driver of the truck is. We see parts of him but never his face. As for 'why', I think it was just a cat and mouse game that got out of hand.

The Birds was the same sort of deal. No explanation. No reason given. That is why Hitchcock simply had the people get into the car and drive away. (As an aside, there was no musical soundtrack in that movie. The soundtrack was actually the bird noises.)

And you're right about the Disney animation. That entire scene where the sparrows coming out of the chimney was all animated by Disney. In the other scenes, a few real (trained) birds were used and were filmed. The rest were animated as well.

 

[blackbeltninja]

^Nope.

For sheer terror, Alien and Aliens (forget A3 and the hideous A Resurrection) were top notch.

And then for good measure, check out Event Horizon. Space horror/thriller about... well, I don't want to give it away, so I can't say much more. Brilliant, though.
