The Texas chainsaw massacre (the 1974 original) I thought it would be scary in a splatter-like way, but it really isn't - it's scary with a realistic feel and a bizarre atmosphere. After all these years I still haven't seen a horror movie that scared me as much as this did.

Exactly. It's incredible how much that film works on a psychological level.

Now don't get me wrong--you're not going to run down to the store buy this DVD than run home and jump every five minutes when you get to actually sit down and watch it. Its just not that kind of scarey.

I got this DVD as part of a set I purchased a few months ago and knew nothing about it and went in with all my defenses down. This film bothered me. I actually refuse to ever watch it again and if it wouldn't break up the boxset than I'd actually freely give away.

This film is disturbing and any one of my friends would tell you that actually means something coming from me.

The special effects aren't especially convincing.. its just.. the content...

Anyway, it wins my vote for 'Most scary film I've ever seen..'

Texas Chainsaw has to be the most scary film for me - so intense and relentless.

Two of the most scary scenes from movies for me would be Marion being attacked in the shower in Psycho :eek: - because of the build up that leads to it and then such a frightening scene of a naked vulnerable woman being repeatedly stabbed.

Chrissie being attacked at the start of Jaws:eek: (yes another woman being killed!). It's so frightening to see her being pulled around in the water by an unseen force. When I first saw it it terrified and captivated me in equal measure - and ensured that i'd never ever go swimming at night in my lifetime!!

I'll also give a heads up to I Walked With A Zombie-the most realistic looking zombie film I've seen.
