The Descent was pretty fucking scary!
Anybody seen the Japanese version of the ring?
I heard it was absolutely terrifying
The Jap version of The Ring is superior to the US remake. Both their sequels however are not as good as the originals in my opinion!Quote:

the ring
I dont like scary movies :(
but the best one its The Ring(the original) The Japanies vertion
nobody mentioned Psycho so far, it was the first movie what scared me, I still remember. I was about 12 years old at that time. The exorcist I saw when I was about 17 and I had to laugh out loud a couple times, especially when her head started to rotate. lol
I think the scariest movies date from when you were very young--and they gave you nightmares for months. So for me this is Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
I guess that depends on what scares you. Scary for some may be boring for others. For me, the scariest films are the ones where the villians or events are most likely to be real. I found Serum (2006) to be profoundly disturbing due to its fundamental realism. :pinch:
I Hate Scary Movies
Its Scary...LOl
i really like scary movies and i'm not usually scared..but that time when i was watching The ring alone in my house...when that bitch got out of the fucking tv i got reaaaally scared...!!:P i had that image in my mind for days...
The Grudge 2
When I was a kid I remember the first story in the British version of Tales from the Crypt actually making me shake!
Films really don't scare me any more though, I still sometimes jump during a particular scene but I wouldn't describe the feeling as being frightened. It is more a reaction to a change in music or a sudden shift in action.
The last film to make me jump was The Descent. It was the scene where she was calmly looking out of the window and her head was suddenly impaled by some flying steel poles (it turned out OK guys she was dreaming).
Films like the remake of The Hills Have Eyes bore me.
I used to have nightmares about nightmare on elm street as a kid. Now, looking back, the movies are so cheesy, they actually make me laugh.
The Exorcist.
I don't think that anyone who has ever seen this movie ever forgets it.
Not the jump out of your chair scariest movie,but one that leaves you feeling ill at ease long after it's over.
+2 on Haute Tension
+3 The Descent
Blair witch project! It is quite different from traditional horror movies as the narrative is presented as a documentry compiled from the amateur footage.
I think any of Saw serie
1) The Shining
2) Funny Games U.S.
old: omen (part 1)
new: ring (part 1)
none of the others are worth talking about.
the shining is one of the stehen kings movie ?Quote:

Check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/
it's a stephen king novel adapted for screen by kubrick...i thought that was implied...to me knowledge, stephen king doesn't make his own movies...:)
it's there on my top five list, too...and you've gotta love the amazingly eerie soundscapes; especially the pieces in there by penderecki, are real horror sound classics!
The Exorsist
not just that sampath, the whole atmosphere created in the movie.
the changes in tone, from when he's normal, to when he goes "Cu-ckoo!"
scary shit i tell you
Spatter films though momentarily shocking act more as a release of tension than anything.If violence is commonplace it inevitably loses it's impact.
One brutal scene in an otherwise placid movie though that can get under your skin and scar you for years .
Like you said shaman it's the everyday transformed into the horrific that is the most disturbing.
@VillageShaman: Yes, i absolutely agree with you when it comes to The Shining. Kubrick is a true master, and like most of the best, his range is unbelievable...it's why movie goers who enjoy startlingly different genres, and who wouldn't otherwise have anything in common, all share a common awe towards him. Movies like The Shining, A Clockwork Orange and 2001, all from the same person...that's something.
IdolEyes787:
That's so true. Now this has reminded me of another great director i'd like to recommend here. Do not be misled, he does not make "horror" films; actually attempts at trying to pin his movies down, with any sort of genre classification or analysis, prove useless. David Lynch. And even as i read what you'd written, it immediately connected with a scene from "The Lost Highway", which i just can't describe(where the hero meets his ghost-faced stalker at a party), but it impregnates you, and comes back in the most unusual of times. All his movies are mindbenders, and the supernatural, otherworldly, dreamscapes he leads you into, will linger inside you for a long time.Quote:

yes I enjoyed the twisted scheme that composed "Mullholand Dr."
Very intense. Totally dreamworld/trippy/meshing into the real world. It's not so much scary as it is unpredictable, though, which is also the reason why it is a bit eerie.
Quite frankly monster/ghost stories don't scare me mainly because I disassociate from them.If anything,I find them to be humorous.
I'd have to say the first 80 minutes(before the plot twist is revealed) of a french film called Haute Tension was one of the most exhilirating horror films i've ever seen.
Now if I only it had a better ending,damnit.
On a sidenote,I've always found Silence of the lambs to be chilling and it gets even more chilling with every viewing.
I just saw Silence of the Lambs on television the other day.
I had forgotten how great Sir Anthony was before before he became a bit of a caricature of himself.
And soulreaper couldn't agree more about Haute Tension, the ending spoiled the whole movie for me.Kind of made the rest of the movie seem pointless.
American Pie!, i dont watch scary movies -.-'
"The eye of the snake" or something like that from 80`s :)
