I though Exorcism of... was OK. Not really scary, but a half decent film.
The original Amityville Horror always frightened we when I was young. The one which really scared me witless though was Mr Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm St" films - thye really frightened me.
Recent horror films don't do much for me - theres not many decent ones about. The Ring and Blair Withch have been about the only two OK ones over the last few years.
Definitely steer clear of the house of wax - it is absolute pants!!!!
The new amityville scarred me big time, i'm may av a bash @the ring i've got em both to hand!
i watched ginger snaps today at my mates inbetween some mock exams (my friends think i look like ginger :chin: )....another cheesy but weird warewolf film - reminded me of dog soldiers which was just loads of gore and crap
Psycho - original and still best
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) - I found this really fightening. Maybe because I was on my own in a big old house at 2am with a thunderstorm happening outside.
The Omen - Gregory Peck is outstanding
First thing that springs to mind whenever the subject of horror films comes up is always "The Hitcher". It really, really scared me.
Has anyone else seen "House of 1,000 Corpses"? If not, Think of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, on bad acid. I'm scarred for life.
Silence of the Lambs is another film I should have said "no" to. The night vision goggle part at the end is indescribably creepy and disturbing. Don't even get me started on the whole debacle in the lift/DIY face transplant bit.
The Witches traumatised me for years and years. I don't know if I could even watch it again to this day, I can't imagine how little children cope with watching it...
The Birds is also scary, and I should never have watched Psycho. I have serious shower issues now.
No one else will have seen this I bet... but I once saw a film on TV really late, on some obscure channel, about a bloke called Ronald (same name as my Dad, eeeee!). Anyway, he was a big old freak as a youngster and a chain of events leads to his living behind the walls or under the stairs in this house that was his and his mother's until she dies (and helpfully doesn't tell him!). Then a family full of young girls moves in and he abducts them one by one. Seriously terrifying stuff, I remember vividly one scene where he was hiding behind a dressmaker's dummy...I almost wet myself. But maybe I dreamed it, I do wonder... Edited to say I remembered the name of it (I think): Bad Ronald - rent it if you dare (and can find it...).
As in the Rob Zombie film? Yeah I have - it's dump.
The original Texas was terrifying when I first saw it, and it still scares me now.
Hellraiser, the Exorcist, Wicker Man, The Omen were all interesting but never scared me for a second.
The Descent is pretty damn scary for a recent movie.
Yeah, I think he directed it. I now fear anyone who was even peripherally involved in that blood bath.
Bollocks forgot that.
Edward Woodward is brilliant in it, and also the posessor of the silliest name in existence.
The ring wasnt exactly scary but a good film still, also saw the new texas chainsaw pretty recently and its shit.
It's an excellent film, and really keys you into the paranoia and mistrust that she feels. The last scene is excellent, and there was huge potential for it to have turned into farce.
Me too, I was so scared, i was like 12 !, i forget which one it was, theres like a ton of them. Though i rented in again when i was like 18, and it wasnt the same effect, so disapointed!
hmm, a scary movie I would recommend is........ hmm...i thought blair witch 2, its not so much scary, as it is interesting, espically if you watched the 1st one
all the nightmare on elm st movies, all the texas chainsaw movies (except TheNextGeneration), Wicker Man, The hills have eyes, Last house on the left.
i saw house of 1000 corpses the other day and i really enjoyed it, besides the fact it was pretty much Texas chainsaw massacre. really wanna see devils rejects now.
House on the Little Prairie was enough for me. :shocking:
That one got me 2
The Descent - probably the scariest new film ive seen in ages...the first shock was probably the worst, along with the reveal of the monsters. Nick Marshall = the man for new brit horror
Beat me to it... I can honestly say that is one of the only films that has really, really put the shits into me... big style!
I didn't find the suspence in The Shining too bad, but for wierdness factor, Signs got my spine tingling. The Descent recently did the same, but not "scared" as such.
I can't seem to get my hands on Nightwatch... apparently it is very good...
I'm not really into the make you jump kind of horror films though. I prefer the atmosphere films like Psycho, Eraserhead, Frankestein (the 1930's one) and The Shining.
Not so much a horror film, but I think Se7en is a really good suspense thriller of recent times, and as anyone who's seen it knows, it does have at least one jump out of your seat moment. Think most of the best horror films are from the 70's and 80's though.
Oh forgot to mention, I'm really into my George Romero zombie films lately.
