Is that the one where they turn all the kids into scary looking skinny white/grey beings?

If so, that was **** scary yeah.

Otherwise, Ring was brill (Audition had some nice horror-esque parts in it), The Others was great for the old suspense, very well done that one. Jeepers Creepers? Awful.
Evil Dead (1st one), was great, espesh the tree raping scene. Muchos weirdo. Bad Taste was a great horror film. Very funny. Same goes for Dead Alive (Braindead), another early Peter Jackson flick (NZ). Loved all the Alien films. Um, cept the last two, they were just okay.

The Ring movies are brilliant, I can't really think of many truly 'scary' movies though. A lot of movies start off well, building up lots of atmosphere and suspense and then let themselves down as it progresses, most recent example is Resident Evil. Maybe the second will be better :]

I'll just list movies I enjoyed I guess:

Evil Dead 1/2/AoD
Ring 1/2
House on Haunted Hill (I think thats what it was called, old B&W version)
Nosferatu
90% of Zombie Movies :]

ObeyGiant

1. Night of the Hunter
2. Spoorloos
3. The Shining
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
(not a popular choice, by any means.. I just remember when the end credits started rolling being very aware of the fact my jaw was pretty much on the floor)
5. Se7en

Jeepers Creepers would probably have been up there if it hadn't been for the second half of the film. If you haven't seen this film - turn it off when the police get attacked on the road, then imagine a scary, non-faggy ending/monster. You'll thank me in the long run.

BEAT

candy man
house on haunted hill (new version)
dead ringers (i think thats the name, with twin muderous gynecologists) eeuuww
hannibal
nightmare elm st. #1
hellraiser 1 & 2

I cant think of any other movie that really freaked me out or whatnot

Karl Hungus

Tell me something, am I the only person alive who thought the Ring films were dreadfully over-rated. The first one was quite good, but the second film was such pap it was almost unbarable!

yellum

I'm with the Angelic Ho on this one.

I wasn't really scared or on the edge of my seat with Ring.

I did like The Others though.
Seven was cool too.
Event Horizon was good as well.
The Devils Backbone wsn't bad either.

I thought Jeepers Creepers was really really boring and stupid. I did like it though when the dude gets killed in the end.

Spiffing

Psycho no. 1 deffo.

Event Horizon was utter gobsh*te imo, wasn't scary and was dull imo.

PiE

Yea but then again I thought The Others & Event Horizon were overrated, so its really down to where you watch the movies, who you watch them with etc etc.

I agree with ObeyGiant, Jeepers Creepers started off really well... ended up like what I said before.

Noticed someone mentioned Bad ("I'm a Derek and Dereks don't run") Taste there. Disgusting and hilarious in equal measures but did anyone ever see the sequel- Brain Dead. More blood then any movie ever (see 100 zombies reduced to soup by one guy armed with a lawnmower)

Amazing to think that Peter Jackson started with these movies (you should also see Meet the Feebles) and yet was given a ****load of cash to go and make the Lord of the Rings.

Hellrazer

1. Salems Lot--The one with David Soul(Remember watching it as a kid and ****ting meself for days.

David Lynch's "Lost Highway" is the most suspenseful (is that a word?) film I think I've seen.

A Postmodern noir horror is how Lynch described it himself if I recall...

jonno

Thrillers:

Seven
Fight Club
Arlington Road
Ronin
Dial M for Murder
........... to name but a few

Horror/Suspence:

Physco
Rear Window
The Others
Blair Witch Project

my fav thread

johnnynolegs

this is quite a good thread - saw ring good film aswell i shall add it to my list

j. p harristarr

pyscho (original)
seven
fight club (not gory but ****ing class)
shawshank redemption (best movie of all time)
shining

am i the only person who thinks that 'rope' by hitchcock is a very good movie?event horizon is good (clips of what happened to old crew gory) but not a classic horror that some people make it out to be.

My top five horror films in no particular order

1. The Thing--A differant monster every time. Genius
2. 28 Days Later--The best horror film for years.
3. The Devils Backbone--A magnificant film. Del Toro re-invents every genre he touches
4. Candyman--Some scary ****
5. Hellraiser--Gory and scary in equal measre

TetsuoHashimoto

the omen
the eye

phobos

I'm with a few of you in that I thougth the Ring was pants also. By that I'm reffering to the Jap version, coz I haven't seen the American one, and I was told not to bother also. I also didn't find the Exorcist (any version) nor the Omen the slightest bit scary.

However I'm one of the people who found the Blair Witch Project very scary. But I must point out that I knew nothing about this movie 24 hours before seeing it, and in the hours before leaving the house I saw a documentary on it, which led me to believe it was a true story. So during the movie I was convinced I was watching real footage. The 2nd Blair Witch Project really REALLY shouldn't have been created.

I thought the start of "Darkness Falls" was quiet good, when the kid is in his room.

I always liked the Halloween movies (not because they were scary [coz they weren't], but rather the atmosphere in the movies was consistent, and had a real Halloween feel to them).

On the run up to Halloween I'm looking for something that will keep me awake for nights on end. I'm not in to gore, or "Boo...Agh!!", type movies. I like the ones that **** around with your head, and let your imagination take over. A bit like the blair witch where you didn't actually see a witch, but had a fairly evil image in your head. Is there any movies that could reduce a 23 year old male (who thinks he can't be scared by movies anymore) to a bag of nerves, out there.

Please help me out (ie. do your worst, and I'll promise to watch it on my own, at night, in the dark)

True Stories ARE Good! (but I've already seen TCM)
