Any good horror movies?

[TickleTorment]

The new Nightmare on Elm Street looks decent.

That movie with John Cusack...where he was an author of haunted hotels etc..but didn't believe it himself, until he was told about a haunted room in a New York City hotel...1408?

Anyone hear anything about the Child's Play remake?

First off...I'm 21 years old.

I fawking LOVE horror movies, but almost every horror film released in modern times is basically just watching a girl have blood thrown on her while she screams over and oooover and oooooover and OOOOOOOOOVVVEEER AGAIN!

...Anyway. I'm also quite uneasily phased. But now this comes down to what sort of elements in a horror movie frighten you.
If sudden POP UPS with loud noises scare you the most then...huzzah...but for me, it's the subtle, quieter, more eerie things that frighten me.

Now everybody can laugh as much as they want to...but a few of my favourite horror films are as follows.

John Carpenter's "The Fog". I mean the OLDER one, not that stupid stupid STUPID new one they made. The original The Fog, scared me as a child and still frightens me today. The tall dark shapes moving in the fog is just plain creepy. Very well directed movie.

The Haunting AGAIN the old one please. The new one was just...laughable. The old black and white version had one of the scariest haunted house stories I'd seen in awhile. Cool thing is you pretty much just scare yourself by wondering what the hell could be making all those terrifying noises in the house.

The Blair Witch Project...not everybody's cup of tea. Perhaps the fact that I used to live in a forest JUST like the one it took place in made is even more terrifying for me...but this film actually made me squeeze a pillow; ready to bury my face in it whenever something happened. If you can get past the really poor film quality and the bumpy, BUMPY camera.

The Uninvited AGAAAIN THE OLD ONE! The new one's plot has nothing to do with this one. Good luck actually FINDING this movie but again this is a black and white movie about a house haunted by two rivaling ghost women.
Only sad part is most of the movie is more like an old "would you like 2 lumps in your tea sir?" kind of film, but when the scary moments arrive (like the ghost awakening everyone with her crying), it's really great.

The Candyman The Candyman really really surprised me. I wasn't expecting to actually get a little scared and enjoy every second of this film. It was very good...that's all I have to say. Check it out.

So that's all I'll name for now. A few more films I love are Saw, American Psycho, most Alfred Hitchcock movies, and all the good ol' classics. But these films don't really scare me much they just make me happy.

LONG LIVE HALLOWEEN! (the holiday not the movie...but the movie rocks too)

Nice list! Thanks!

ps: Did you know that there is a TK version of American Psycho in the story section somewhere?

Good movie.I think this movie recieves a lot of undeserved negative criticism.

I enjoyed Rob Zombie's flicks,House of 1000 Corpses,The Devils Rejects.

I have been on a horror movie binge this past few days and have watched the following,

Dawn of the Dead
Cabin Fever
Critters
28 Days later
Silence of the Lambs
Hannibal
The Hills Have Eyes 1,2
Hostel 1,2

They all have their fair share of blood and guts. 😛 Hopefully one of them will spark your interest if you haven't already seen them.

I have some downloading to do! Thanks!

Horror movies really don't exist anymore. Producers decided the only way to make a movie scarier was to increase the sickness level. The slasher used to be the guy with the knife chasing the girl...now the guy with the knife catches the girl at the beginning and the rest of the movie is watching her get skinned alive in his basement. It makes the heart beat fast but there's no fear there, it's more just revulsion. They almost got it right beginning the Saw movies in that the fear was in the predicament. But now as most of the victims die anyway, the predicament becomes moot. There's no thrill in chainsaws, cannibal hillbillies and gore. There was in the 70's when that hadn't been seen before. 1408 was the last good scare I had...the idea that he just couldn't get out of the room, that it was his reality and it was physically impossible for him to leave it. That was fear, and it was merely a concept conveyed across the screen. Anthony Hopkins eyes as he talked to Jodie foster, that was fear inducing. The kid in Hostel getting a drill poked through him...no.

1408 is the movie.

Ringu is a good scary flick. It is much better than the Americanized version.

 

[Dussicar]

The Sentinel gave me the creeps when I was a kid. I just saw it recently a few months ago. Not as scary now but I got a huge kick out of seeing Ellen Griswold masturbate.

Take THAT, Clark!!!

 

[ShadowFyre]

Hellraiser is definitely a good choice for a scary movie.

 

[Bizkit]

I just purchased this several days ago and it's one of the better horror movies I have seen in a while.Definately worth a rent or purchase.

hell raiser was kool for it's day.

 

[penny lane]

I totally agree with the original Black Christmas. I recently watched it again and it still frightens me.

I remember being pretty freaked out when I saw The Exorcist for the first time... a lot of disturbing imagery in that movie. Phantasm still scares me too.

Very few horror movies made today don't scare me. The only ones I can think of that I thought were well done are The Descent, Event Horizon, and I liked Paranormal Activity. I know a lot of people didn't like the ending of Paranormal Activity, but I thought it was effective and worked well.

 

[Bizkit]

Two Thousand Maniacs! or Cannibal Holocaust, I have been meaning to watch that and I hear is pretty X-TREME.

Holy shit.I just stumbled across the description of this film and it does look pretty extreme.I'm gonna have to try to locate this.


Edit: I love Google video.Fuckin' sweet.

 

[Marquis De Sade]

Shutter. The original.

 

[Texas_Tickle]

The new Nightmare on Elm Street looks decent.

Yeah, what the fuck is it with all of these damned remakes. Has Hollywood finally lost whatever shred of originality they may have had? I mean what's next? A remake-of-a-remake?

Fair warning, the animal killings are real. Just letting you know.

 

[Wildtime]

Cannibal the Musical, if the gore doesn't get to ya, the singing will!!!

 

[Texas_Tickle]

Anyboody remember the old Faces of Death?

Haven't seen that since the days of VHS, probably the closest you'll get to an actual snuff film (although most of the death scenes in it are fake).

Yeah they were interesting to watch back in the day.They may not have been real but some that stood out were,

The guy parachuting into the gator pit.

I also remember one where a girl apparently went swimming and some huge leech attached itself to her.That one was hard to believe but it's been a long time since I've seen it or any of them for that matter.

Fair warning, the animal killings are real. Just letting you know.

I watched it today and wasn't really impressed.The animal scenes were appauling and quite frankly upsetting to watch.Especially the turtle scene.Maybe for it's time it grabbed people but I found it lackluster and more disturbing than scary.

One thing that would have improved this movie a lot would have been different personalities of the four filmmakers.If their characters had been more likeable it might have made it more suspenseful but it got to the point where you hoping for them to get taken out.

i still say thet The Exorcist is the scariest movie of all time on many levels. But go see Paranormal Activity. Just came out recently and is scary as crap! At least, I thought so 🙂

 

[dusttick11]

Being a big horror fan myself, I'll throw out some suggestions.

I personally don't find these to be freaky as much as I just
think they are really cool horror flicks.

Phantasm
Phantasm II
Feast prts I,II and III
Drag Me To Hell
30 Days of Night

I have "Trick 'r Treat", I think goth mentioned it in this thread, but
I have not watched it yet. I'll let everybody know how it is once
I've seen it, I hear it's a decent Halloween time film. I also hear
"The Hills Run Red" is good too, but have not seen it either.

You might want to check some older posts for this topic, I know
I started one several months back and people gave me a lot of
good suggestions, many I'd seen and some I hadn't.

Edit: I forgot to mention a movie called "Borderland" it's
based on a true story. Very creepy and disturbing, it's also kind
of gory. Just a warning for people who don't like gory flicks.

 

[GirlWhoLikes2Laugh]

As for me, I've seen previews for Trick or Treat and that seems very scary. The other movies that I consider to be very scare are as follows:

The Shining
Saw I, II, III, and IV
Wrong Turn
Wrong Turn 2
Joy Ride 2
Bloodlines or something like that
The Tooth Fairy
When Darkness Falls
Carrie (the original)
The new version of the Halloween movie
The Ring
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Cursed
Monster Man
Timber Falls
The Exorcist

That's all I can think of for now. There are other movies that I think are scary too and if I feel like mentioning them later, I will.

 

[Moses25]

Paranormal Activity. Will scare the crap outta you.

Cheers. 😀

Cannibal Holocaust is hard to find. I ended up downloading it a while back from a bittorrent site. It's like Blair Witch Project done right, and set in the rainforest. Very brutal. When it was made the director was arrested in a foreign country, Italy I think, under suspicion that it was a snuff film. It isn't, although there are a couple of animals that meet some awful real deaths on camera.

 

[Deusxlionxx]

The ring didn't even phase me. That's the problem... I love watching the horror movies, but not of them even phase me.

I at least wanna be shocked.

How do you mean 'shocked,' as in scared, or something that makes you wonder why the hell you just watched it?

If its the latter, watch either Doomsday, Hostel, Saw (anything past the first), or The Hills Have Eyes. All of these are prime examples of human imagination going way too far off of the deep end.
