The japanese have some very strange stuff, Ring 2 is excellent (and probably Ring as well), one of the few "horror" films that actually scared me

rob

(and they did it with subtitles!)

Frank Grimes

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is probably my favourite.
Ring is excellent too, alot better than the followup imo.

Pigman

Blue Velvet. Not actually a 'horror' movie but some of the scenes involving Dennis Hopper will have you running for the back of your couch.

Ring 1
Dark Water
The Eye (Jian Gui)
Jacobs Ladder
Final Destination
Devils Backbone

'Martin'. But i'm not sure if it's a horror. Whatever it is, i watched the first 5-10 min and couldn't stomach the rest!

Thats gotta be saying something.

i was a clip of the eye and it looks class, can it be got over here?
ALso 13 ghosts wasent bad or Bones are my to recent horrors or any horror from the 80`s or early 90`s are uasyally good.

But the best horror id recomend even though i havent seen it is crossroads with britny spears now that has to be scary!

Swifty

I'd have to say Ring too. Thats one headf'ck of a movie.

spooky donkey

ok i might do that so,
thanks for the info lads!

oh and back to topic i for got to mention that film with great taste `Bad taste` more of sifi/horror that pure horror but a clasic none the less!

That film 28 days later thats coming out soon looks excellent. As far as I know it's a kinda zombie flick....nice

Goodshape

Dog Solders is great. Along the same lines as Evil Dead and Bad Taste (although slightly more serious).


ps... that's my avatar, fester! :mad:

I'd have to say Evil Dead 2 is my favourite. Myself and a mate saw it at the cinema when we were 1`4. Scared the sh*t out of us

The day of the dead trilogy are excellent too... especially day of the dead... Anyone seen that ?

The Shining and the fog are another 2 that spring to mind...

Looking forward to 28 days.

How about "The Entity" by Sidney J. Furie?:eek:

Here's a few that people haven't really been mentioning...
Zombie Flesh Eaters
Night of the Living Dead (1990) - I actually prefer Tom Savini's version to the original.
Don't Look Now - Intense, odd film.
The Changeling - George C Scott.. in a haunted house. Ow, my groin.
The Fog - There's a lovely R1 dvd out now, with some really nice extras.
Dagon - Another Stuart Gordon (Re-animator) take on a H.P. Lovecraft story. Not too gory, just.. creepy.
Rosemary's Baby - Odd that noone's mentioned this already
Tesis - By the same guy who did the others.. not really a 'horror', but, again, hella creepy.
The Haunting (1963) - One of the greatest 'haunted house' films ever.

i tried chartbusters, xtravision and advancedVision. None of them had 'Ring'
Fingers crossed for Lazer.

Rabies

i would recommend watching Event Horizon

generaly horror movies don't scare me but this movie is really freaky...
check out your local xtravision store, they usualy have a copy or two floating around


edit:
just checked out amazon to see a review of RING. must be pretty good if most people give it 5 stars...

click me

krankykitty

The old ones are by far the best..

The Exorcist
The Omen
Carrie
Halloween
The Amtiville Horror
Dont forget to check the children (dont know whether thats the name or not, but youll know what im talking about if youve seen it!)

Rosemarys baby.. that would put the creeps up you all right

There's a new movie out "the ring" it's in the us and I saw a preview, mmm wonder if it's a remake of the Japanese one? I'll have a look for this movie, the Japanese version.

I want to see this too, it's probably very similar to an 80s movie which I quite like called "Night of the comet" remember it?

I'm totally in agreement, I watched this a few years ago in the dark on my own :eek: what a mistake! It scared the bejaysus out of me!
