He's actually decent enough in it, but the role was too old for him.
Needed someone a bit older to be taken seriously I think.
And by no means a scary film!

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

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.

I watched the original of that when I was about 13 on my own one night and its still the scariest film I've ever seen, I'll never forget it.

Not a chance am I gonna let Harry Potter ruin it for me.

The Ring.

JustAThought

Audition.

Japanese film. stands to reason.

I almost crawled from the Cinema seat on my knees I was so scared.

Couldn't imagine that someone could be so evil. Was that based on a true story?

awesome film. guillermo del toro(pans labyrinth) directed it. he has a few more that are worth a look. 'the devils backbone' being the most notable. stay well clear of 'don't be afraid of the dark', its terrible. but one hiccup in an otherwise flawless career. and if you haven't seen the aforementioned pans labyrinth, then go and watch it.

It has to be psychological stuff for me too, exactly what some poster said, things that could never really happen to you are the ones that scare me the most..

Also think that japanese horror movies are quite scary. I dont know how they manage with their low budgets and nearly lack of special effects, but they usually succeed in creating quite scary atmospheres.. the japanese and original versions of The Ring and The Eye are quite scary. Must try Audition..

I watched Alien for the first time when I was about 8 and staying over in a friend's house. I couldn't sleep the entire night because I thought there was a facehugger under the bed.

willmunny1990

I haven'd been scared by a modern horror film in years.

Slashers have never done it for me. I used to be scared of IT and Hellraiser when i was younger but apart from that i can't really think of anything else that scared me.

I find some David Lynch films unsettling, e.g Mullholland drive, Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, ive also made plans to watch Wild at heart tonight for the first time.

The original Omen still scares me as well.

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

Well the chances of me being kindnapped and ruthlessly tortured by a psyco are fairly slim too.

But what if you're one night alone in the house and all the lights suddenly turn off and weird strange creepy **** starts to happen??!!

The Haunting is still pretty creepy for an old movie, the 1960s one not the godawful 1999 remake. dont find stuff like Saw scary in the slightest its just gore no scares.

Rubberlegs

Flatliners scared the sh*t out of me, as did The Others and The Sixth Sense. Never found slasher movies at all scary...

then you're either having a bad dream or someone is pulling a bad prank on you...

At least kidnaping an torture are real stuff that happens everyday.. maybe not happening to you.. but sure is happening to someone right now.. wether you find that or not scary, is up to you.. altho i agree that, when in movies, the scare factor of that stuff is inexistent..

Forgot a good one, The Fog, the original one, used to see the fog coming in under my door for weeks afterwards as a kid

chakotha

The original Salem's Lot scared the bejeesus out of me when I was a kid.

puzzle factory

My heart was in my mouth for most of it, and I don't generally find "scary" films scary..

Herb Powell

"There will be blood" is the creepiest film I've seen

Princess Peach

I watch a loooot of horrors, think I'm becoming immune to them. Paranormal Activity bored the life out of me, Lady in Black wasn't great, few scares is all.

Rec was scary at the end for sure. The Descent gave me the willies! The Japanese version of the Grudge was great, and probably the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Drag me to Hell scared me at parts too!

I love horror movies and gore, but I'm not too easy to get a scare out of any more. Which I miss

I was fine the whole way through but the ending scared the **** out of me.

rec is a really good movie

The Mothman Prophecies tormented my mind when I was a lad.
Also IT haunted me as a kid but seen it recently and had a good laugh at it.

Moved to films from After Hours.

I don't get scared by movies very easily and I'm always looking for ones that will really scare the shit out of me!

Yep, I think The Descent is the movie that's scared me the most. It's pretty terrifying.

Not really a "horror" movie, but Stephen King's The Mist has one the best and most disturbing endings to a movie I've ever seen.

Watched Martyrs recently. Creeped me out a little bit but not as bad as I'd hoped. Also watched The Poughkeepsie Tapes which is scary enough but a bit stupid.

Ormus

I'd love to watch Alien and Aliens again for the first time. Edge of the seat, heart thumping, feeling of dread. Life doesn't get much better than that eh?

The Shining too, eerie.

He only produced The Orphanage and Don't Be Afraid of The Dark

Event Horizon turned well scary at some point, it was weird.

All the Saw movies are pretty scary, as are all Asian "The Grudge" type horrors.

Paranormal Activity type movies aren't scary, unless screamers are supposed to be scary.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is still the scariest ever, followed by anything to do with things that could happen in real life.

ziedth

When I first saw the shining as a young fella I was terrified but it really doesn't stand up well these days. Same for the likes of Candyman and poltergeist.

Beat I can think of so far is event horizon. Very spooky in parts and it's the right amount of gory.
