Otherwise none really did scare me, quite enjoy them tho...
But I like more gore movies, more blood in them...
Ahhh Bruce Campbell, what a legend.
But the film that's stayed with me as being utterly chilling since childhood is Return to Oz. My best friend and I used to watch it constantly when we were growing up, and the Wheelers used to terrify us halfway to insanity. I did always love the part with the heads screaming "Doooorothy Gaaaaaale!" though. Hee. I made my flatmates watch it recently and it was like a fucking bad trip, I don't know how I missed how creepy, weird and sinister the whole thing is. They were quite disturbed that it was one of my childhood favourites.
The Grudge is the worst "horror" I have ever seen, I wouldn't even call it mildly thrilling.
Anyone who likes to be scared of living in their own home should hunt down Bad Ronald in which the mother hides her son behind the walls of the house to protect him from the law, promptly pops her clogs and leaves him behind to perve on/terrorise the new owners. I wish I wasn't home alone this weekend.
I watched Hostel the other week and that REALLY scared me.
The Hills Have Eyes is mildly amusing and there was another one I enjoyed... I think it was called Dead End or something about this family going down a continuous road... I really quite liked that.
But yeah, haven't been scared in years.
I really like the 70's/80's horror films, written around the time when LSD was so popular. The storylines are great and there's usually some kind of sick horror/sex connection that kind of freaks me out. I think a horror is a proper horror when it plays with your mind rather than making you jump out of your seat.
I can never remember the names of good ones as I seem to watch loads, but a film I like alot is called 'Eraserhead' - it's done in black and white with barely any sound but it's brilliant, I've watched it about 5 times and still don't quite understand it all. Do not watch whilst on drugs though as it'll freak you out...it feels like some kind of trip just watching it.
i like films for how they are as films now, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream 1 and 2 but not 3, I know what you did last summer, etc.
The Ring i found boring.
That robin williams movie, which would be more suspense, I think it was called one hour photo, now that was a freaky movie.
Nowadays its light entertainment,kinda like the muppets!!
although i remember when i was little, watching the shining with my dad and i was petrified!!
the only ones that do scare me a little are the original 'haunting' (when eleanor is in bed and something is slamming on her door :nervous: )
aand nightmare on elm street. especially the first one and.. er number 5 i think?! the one where freddy force feeds this girl her own insides :yuck: gross
as for bad horror films.. i dont really know! cant think of any...
Hostel has to be one of the worst though.
I loved Seven and the Bone Collector though.
I think ones with parts i dont expect are the most 'scary' horror films, such as the alien walking past the window in signs, the monster thing behind the girl in the decent when she turns the camera around and also i'll say the 1st scene of constantine when the guy gets hit by a car!
I really like horror films though just to see if they can make me jump, especially foreign horror films - they just seem to be more atmospheric and edgy due to the language barrier
I'd say that's up there with "least scary moments" in my opinion, just goes to show how opinions vary...
I'd forgotten to say that I agree with I'm With Stupid about Seven, though it's certainly more horrifically disturbing, than "scary".
Another less "scary" than deeply, deeply disturbing film is Irreversible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I think I'm still traumatised from watching it. That's true "horror".
horror is my genre, love it to the max
blair witch project was the shittiest film ever
i thought house on the haunted hill was quite weird when the girls got the camera and you can see an operation happening but theres nothing there....then she gets dragged into the wall...and the chamber bit was quite weird.
