Thanks. I try. :)

Is it worth the watch? All I seem to hear about it is negative... Is it just gore-shock or does it have something genuinely haunting about it?
It's definitely got the spooky atmosphere...and it IS gory, but it has to be- you'll understand after you see it.
It's definitely one that any horror fan should not miss

Kiri! Kiri! Kiri! Scariest sound on earth. Kinda sexy, too, though.

Thanks for the tip! Most of these seem to be gory shocker flicks, but I did enjoy a few of them:

Henry
Evil Dead Series
Braindead
Cannibal Holocaust
Ichi the Killer
Requiem for a Dream
Riki-Oh
Videodrome
Zombi

...got anything less splatterific and more spooky/creepy?

I thought the Descent was pretty scary.

Sigh - This thread always comes up, I take my time to post, and then the N00b disappears. :rolleyes: No reporting back - No thanks...

I should save this list on my desktop...


Movies that have seriously scared the crap out of me (I point out the times in my life as I'm sure that's part of it):

High School
  • Alien
  • Aliens
  • Event Horizon
  • Blair Witch Project

College
  • Halloween

After College
  • The Grudge (the American remake seriously scared the SHIT out of me - I was living alone and it kept me up all night :o; the original I thought was OK)
  • Crazy Eights
  • Session 9
  • The Descent
  • Rinne (Reincarnation in English; by the director of The Grudge)
  • "The Box" (short film by Takashi Miike as part of Three... Extremes)
  • Ils (Them)
  • Inside (more "tense" then scary, but ridiculously good)
  • Quarantine (I am in the minority who thinks the remake is better than the original [REC])

That's all I can think of now - I should use the "Search" functionality (HINT) and find out what I posted to all those who have come before...

We have some serious abandonment issues, don't we sweetheart... ;)
Lemme be the first to break the "n00b" cycle:
--THANKS!-- (There, feel warm and fuzzy now?)

Now, to get to your lists...

Quote:
High School

* Alien --Seen it, loved it. Not very scary...
* Aliens--Same as above...
* Event Horizon--In my Top-10 favorites
* Blair Witch Project--Saw it after all the spoofs came out...ruined it.

After College

* The Grudge--Good film, very creepy (The Sam re-make is great)
* Crazy Eights--Haven't seen, IMdB shredded it to pieces
* Session 9--Pretty good movie, not all that scary.
* The Descent--Funny (Don't ask me why)
* Rinne--Haven't seen, will watch tonight...
* "The Box" --Miike kinda leaves me cold. I did like Western Django...
* Ils (Them) --Having trouble finding a copy, looks good though.
* Quarantine (I am in the minority who thinks the remake is better than the original [REC]) --Yes you are... the end creature was better though.

Actually stick around and you'll know what I'm talking about... :rolleyes::cool:


You didn't comment on Inside - If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a watch. Horrifying and gruesome. One of my favorite films of recent years.

Re: Miike - "The Box" is a divergence from his usual blood, guts, and generally disturbing fair. It's him doing a ghost movie short. Definitely creepy.

Anyway. I'm obsessive compulsive and really wanted to know what I've replied to similar threads in this vein. Did some searching (Ok, ok, I KNOW I don't have a life!) and found these - Might have some good suggestions for you:

http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34588
http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35098
http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26639

Apparently my suggestions there are pretty much EXACTLY as what I posted above.

What I've ommitted were the "Classics" that I watched when I was younger and scared the HELL out of me (pre-high school). Might not have the same punch now, but definitely worth a watch:
  • Psycho (1960)
  • The Uninvited (1944)
  • The Haunting (1963)
  • The Innocents (1961)
  • Carnival of Souls (1962)
  • House on Haunted Hill (1959)

**Update**
--I watched Rinne (Reincarnation) last night and I thought it was pretty good. A little confusing at parts (alot of story jumps), but the overall film was spooky enough. It relied heavily on "boo" scares, but the buildup to those moments was well done... laughed pretty hard at the "living doll" part and the main character's orange "Vanilla Fudge" shirt was pretty hilarious also.All things considered: 6/10

--Also watched Dead Birds(2004) last night and enjoyed the mild twist on classic haunted house stories. The story could have gone more into the voodoo aspect of the film, but time was eaten up by people slowly chasing noises in the house... a little predictable, but still enjoyable. The ending was a little odd.
7/10

I've seen all these and thought they were pretty decent. I am however part of the 1% of the population who didn't enjoy Psycho (split personality disorder isn't as scary when you work with it on a day-to-day basis), so some might say my opinion of the "classics" is skewed.


...MORE MOVIES!!!! (please)
