Scariest movie you've ever seen?

af_thefragile

For me its probably this spanish film Darkness which was about these demons that come out when its dark and do bad things. Now I have to admit I'm phobic of the dark (I need to have the lights on when I'm alone in the house), so the movie just added to it...

I don't really find slasher or psycho movies scary though. I like reading up on serial killers and like gore and torture doesn't really scare me. Its more of the spooky, occulty, deamony stuff that keeps me up at night!

So what is yours?

Not so much scary but I thought Session 9 was a bit mental.

THe orphanage. (I think that's it)
Really creepy Spanish movie, the end had me shaking and crying at the same time.

I watched a movie called someone is watching, in America years ago. I was on my own in the house and I was only 15....so scary!

So the only stuff that scares you, is the stuff which could never possibly happen?

That was more disturbing than scary (great movie though...especially the end bit...y'know....eugh!).

My two would be Grave Encounters (terribly cliché'd but there are a few good scares in it) and The Tunnel Movie.

Anything with Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Anniston or Owen Wilson.

Honestly, I have yet to watch a scary movie.
There's been a fair few that are disturbing, but none that have actually scared me.
The slasher/gore movies don't scare me - can't understand how they could scare anyone.
And the movies about demons or strange creatures etc... well they're just not realistic enough to be scary.
The best ones are the psychological thrillers I think.
I'd love to find an actual scary movie though.

When I was a child I used to be afraid of those horror films where nothing happens for ages and then suddenly there's a loud noise or something jumps out of the darkness. After a while they lost their edge though. It's the same nonsense the whole time - nothing happens for twenty minutes, then a cat jumps out and scares you. Just when you've calmed down and start thinking "it was just a cat" Freddy Krueger or Jason or whoever appears and rips someones heart out.

I can't remember the last time I was scared by one of these films. I think it might have been the Amityville Horror, but I think the roof of the house scared me more than anything.

I saw Paranormal Activity a couple of years ago and it was similar to eighties horror films in that it tried to be scary by first being boring. Nothing happened for ages then a frying pan would fall down. How terrifying.

The ledgend of Hell House (1973) was pretty scary though it got average reviews. Its a purists film no CGI or much special effects of any sort really but creates a fairly unerving and sinister atmosphere and definately creepy if you watch it on your own at night. Its worth a look if your willing to overlook its low budget and old scool style.

I watched "The woman in black" recently and i found it quite scary and i would consider myself hard to scare for the most part. It was definitely the scariest film i have seen in a long while.

Anti-Christ is the only film to disturb me enough to be scary.

It was scary in the sense the people can actually do some crazy things when their brains starts to go and they suffer from mental illnesses.
