I never did anything like that again.
Scariest movie I've ever seen is probably the Evil Dead or else Ring.
Evil Dead
My spooky films have got to be (in no particular order)
Blair Witch Project
Hellraiser
Signs (don't ask but got my mind going big time)
28 Days Later
And I thought you were a REAL man! tut tut Ninj
Other than that, It is fairly terrifying. I tend to steer clear of scary movies, so I dunno.
I never got that film! Are you meant to watch the sequels to find out what's going on, or is it just not complicated at all? It seemed really unexplained to me and not scary...
:nervous: When I watched that it finished at 11pm-ish, then went back to my house to stay the weekend on my own. I was 16. NOw I know why films are classified
that was scary :nervous:
The thing that spooked me about that the most was the "not really seeing anything". Got the old mind going.
And you know I'm a REAL man *flexes muscles*
Don't think you supposed to 'get it'. Was the baddies that scared me. Pinhead. Butterball. All real freaky. :nervous:
But erm...I'd look out for 'Cannibal Holocaust' - the most notorious of the video nasties. Not really scary, but has a lot of atmosphere and it will shock you. Don't watch if seeing animals being chopped up and eaten makes you squeamish.
Erm....'Anthropopagus'. 'The Changeling'.
I dunno really, never been scared by a film as an adult.
As someone said, the Japanese 'Ring' is creepy. Also a lot of atmosphere in 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' - the original obviously. I've heard good things about 'Ed Gein' too. Although that may be more psychological scaryness because it based on a real bloke, and Ed Gein actually did all that stuff. Heh, lovely. :eek2:
I can certainly relate to those who offer the critique that truly scary films are hard to come by. More often than not, what is billed as "scary" or "horror" inevitably degenerates into little more than a gory bloodbath, which is more sickening than frightening.
For my part, I have found that the scariest films are those which do not attempt to shock you but rather to build an atmosphere of disturbing discomfort and impending doom. These sorts of films I tend to call "mindfuck" horror.
Perhaps the best of these I have found (in order) would be the following:
1. The Wicker Man
2. The Paper House
3. May
4. Longtime Dead
5. The Bunker
It may come as little surprise that the majority of these films listed are British indy films which do not fall prey to the typical Hollywood glitz or big budget PR hype that tends to leave the delivery far short of the initial promise.
I recommend people check some or all these out, if you havent already.
and this is coming from someone who is scared by anything.
Saw the Blair Witch Project the other day, I thought it was very good for what it was, very original and yeah it spooked me a wee bit cos I turned out the lights and chilled out watching it in my room and got really into it. I just liked the original Ring film as it was, not scary tho. And the Americanised version is shite
seriously i would of said the blair witch project, that really freaked me out because it seemed real.. i dunno
Take that back! Please.
It is not original whatsoever. The style and layout was so badly ripped from Cannibal Holocaust it was untrue.
The millions of profit they made from that should've gone to Ruggero Deodato.
my dad had the scariest painting of pin head on his old motorbike ever
i think you mean chuckie who was in childsplay. i think there were 3 films of it? i saw that when i was in junior school. theyve brought chuckies bride out since then but havent see that one, looks funny though.
IT usually scares me due to its freakiness. but i hate 'horrors' like candyman, theyre just sick and gory.
did anyone see 'the eye' or something like that? where a group of people get locked in a mansion and think its bigbrother on the net but turns out to be a ig murder plot? now that is weird! me and my mates walked out of the cinema sayin 'WTF?!'
Child's Play! That's the one! I have never wanted to see it again, so I never knew it's name since I was just like five or six when it happened.
Never wanted to see any of the newer ones, either. It's had a long term impact on me for sure.
I was also quite freaked out when I watched some British film about Druids or something.. (I'm bad with names, okay?
I don't think it was labelled as a horror film though..
got childs play box set.. bride of chuckie is wicked.....:D
i heard of that film with ther webcam look interesting. cant remember the name...wasnt any good then....
ummm ok, seriously, ummm i get scared by things that could happen to me, things like when in movies the girl stays round a mates house and gets raped or summat, cant think of any examples
