Horror Movies

[krholmes56]

do u guyz kno or n e good horror movies i dont care how old they are but just sumthing good to watch :flame:

[thegroggman]

Hmmmm...well thats a pretty broad question. A really good one that came out recently was Below. Oh 28 Days Later was a nice little farce. Cant really think of any good recent horror movies though.

[krholmes56]

0k thanxs anyways :unsure:

house on haunted hills

[thegroggman]

Ok...ok...I think I thought of some:

Poltergeist 1
Exorcist 1
Nightmare on Elm St. 1
Friday the 13th 1,2, and 4
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Birds
Halloween 1,2

...thats all that I can think of off the top of my head

[olibomb]

You should really see the 'Ring'

[Schmiggy_JK23]

The ring is a joke... if one considers that scary, they must not have seen many classic horror/scary movies...

I personally thought it was a waste of my 3 bucks to rent...

I see we have similiar tastes horror wise...

friday the 13th 7 was pretty solid i thought. Also Pyscho, The Shinning, Silence of the lambs... though maybe more thrillers... then pure horror. What about hellraiser, the first two were pretty solid... you cant top that seriers in gore per minute shots, lol.

I've ordered that book from Amazon. Its a lot more scary than the film by all accounts :blink:

[olibomb]

I meant the japanese version

[hobbes]

I currently have the following in my shared folder:

Ghost Ship- not bad, very cool opening scene, good quality
The Shining- the pinnacle of the genre
Long Time Dead- Haven't watched it yet
Thirteen Ghosts- worth watching
Psycho- excellent
The Eye (Japanese)- you have to read subtitles, haven't watched it, got good reviews

Other Good horror:

Ghoststory-1980- Fred Astaire, John Houseman

The Fog- 1980

American Werewolf in London- Horror/Comedy but done well, not silly. The scary parts are well done. Don't walk on the moors at night.

Dressed to Kill- Michael Caine, Angie Dickenson- this is a sleeper

Hell House-1971? -haven't found this on the web

Rosemary's baby- 1969?- excellent

Salems Lot- made for tv movie

Blair Witch- Best watched if you have never heard of it, someone just pops it in the VCR and you watch it with no prior knowledge. The 1st hour the perfect lead in to a ghost story ever. Too bad the movie is 2 hours.

Jaws- although done in 1976, it does not lose anything over time as it does not rely on special effects to make the movie work. The chemistry btw Schieder, Dreyfuss and Quinn(?) is fantastic.


Nightmare on Elm Street 1 is truly frightening

[foot loose]

House 1 /2
the witch
the stuff
the thing ( wicked film)
mad man


;) :) if you find these films on da NET let me Know because these are old films L8 70's early 80's )

friday the 13th 7 was pretty solid i thought Yeah you're right, forgot to mention that one, throwing in the girl with phycic powers was neat.

The ring is a joke... if one considers that scary, they must not have seen many classic horror/scary movies... Indeed it was. But Ringu, the Japanese version, that the film is based on was a little nerve-racking.

I thought of some more good horror films:

Evil Dead (sure Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were hillarious, but Raimi was honestly going for horror in this one)
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Living Dead
Dont Look Now
and Deliverence (dont even get me started on this one...)

Forgot to add that this site http://www.mrqe.com/ is a great mega-review link if you want to learn something about a movie before downloading.

They also have the 100 most thrilling movies listed, not the same as horror, but some good horror movies in that list.

[thegroggman]

Cool Site! :D Just thought Id add, go Horror (http://us.imdb.com/Charts/Votes/horror), for a top 50 horror film list. Although th Sixth Sense as #5 :-" thats a pretty big stretch...

[Guillaume]

Hey, no one mentionned Clive Barker's Hellraiser! And John Carpenter's The thing! Both from the 80S but real good movies.

Gore and fun: remember that Kung-Fu priest in the cemetary? :ninja:

[thegroggman]

Just thought of another one, Fright Night. Yeah sure it does have a lot of gory humor thrown in, but it definitely had its moments.
