View Full Version : My look on Horror movies


Auditioned

Hey guys, I'm new to this site.

I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you guys my look on horror movies.

Alright, so.. I thought I was a big fan of Horror movies. But after I read a lot of threads on this forum, I guess I'm not such a big fan after all. After seeing you guys talk about movies from 1980s and before! I didn't even know you were allowed to enjoy that sort of stuff =P (No offense). In my opinion, I cannot stand old horror movies, probably cause it's hard to relate to them.

Anyhow, Here's a list of Horror movies that I LOVED/Enjoyed.
- Hostel
- The Hills Have Eyes (21st Century)
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (21st Century)
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beggining (21st Century)
- Dawn of the Dead
- 28 Days Later
- Saw 1
- Turistas
- The Wrong Turn

Anyways, I would have to say Hostel and Dawn of the Dead were the 2 best horror movies out there.

I don't know if it's just me, but I don't really watch horror movies to watch the torture scenes ..? I was reading in some topics to hear comments like "Omg, It was awsome how he got slashed." or "Omg, there wasn't enough torture".
I mean, in my opinion, the torture in a Horror movie is used to make the "escape" (It's what I call when the main characters are running away) much more intense because creates a much more bigger concequence of getting caught.

Anyhow, I still refuse to watch anything that is older than the year 2000. But, I would still give Freddy, Jason, and The Halloween serieses a chance if I had to. (They actually seem good).

Out of the Horror movies I've seen. I've seen 2 that I just couldn't watch:
- House of 1000 Corpses
- The Descent

Okay, Again House of 1000 Corpses is an old movie, And I HATED it. It's so dum and pointless!! Anyways, enough said about that.

I don't know if I rented the wrong movie or something, But I thought the Descent was TERRIBLE. It seemed like it was filmed in 1980 or something. It looked really old to me. Anyways, I got up to the first ten minutes of when they were in the cave, and I just turned it off and switched the movie. It was too boring to watch.

Anyways, that's my introduction to myself. Thanks for reading.

Spare the lecture dude.:mad: You, who have Hostel as your #1 movie(:eek: ), and gets bored by classic horror movies, and hated The Descent & House of 1000 Corpses, shows your taste. And trust me when I say this, its really poor.:rolleyes:

So, your pretty much not going to be well recieved here with comments like that. Anything past the year 2000? OUCH! You are quite honestly missing some of the best horror (80's).

And to clear things up... House of 1000 Corpses is NOT an old movie, not at all. It was made in 2003. The Descent in 2005...

I forgot to mention, I'm only 14, maybe I don't like watching movies from before I was born. =P

EDIT: By the way Posher, when you say Silent Hill (Your 8th favourite), Do you mean the movie about that video game? Cause even I know that was a terrible movie.

You will be shocked to know that the two biggest supports of 'classics' on this forum are only a few years older then you. I'm only 17 and I'll admit I wish I was born 10 years earlier so I could have grown up with the horror in the 80's.

Nope I dont soften one bit. You must be a noob fan of the genre, because you cant even distinguish your choices in horror. Watch some more movies and come back here. Maybe by then you might have had some enlightenment.

And If I don't like the movies you suggested, Should I even bother coming to this forum?

And, it's true, I can't distinguish my choices in horror. I'm mainly a random type of guy, I'd watch any movies besides oldies. Maybe I can't stand the quality. (There's only been 3 movies I've seen that I didn't like: The two I mentioned earlier, and Babel.

Why wouldn't you want to expand your boundaries? It's stupid to not want to imo. I mean, come on, you're watching trash and liking it because you haven't seen anything better. I mean, for example, The Return is I think one year younger than me, and he has seen practically every classic horror, and loves the style. Age doesn't matter at all, it's taste. Try something new, sheesh. It's almost blasphemous what you came here with:rolleyes:

Next you'll be telling us you thought House of the Dead was Oscar-worthy.

HINT: Get past your chronic hate for movies older then 2000. Because quite honestly such a limit is absurd. Go watch...

Evil Dead I & II.
Return of the Living Dead.
Dead Alive.

If you absolutely cannot... then try watching these post-2000 movies.

Jeepers Creepers
Joy Ride
SAW II & III
The Devil's Rejects

i'm not sure if this is a hoax but for arguments sake i'm gonna reply like it isn't. if you are only 14 then that probably explains your blinkered attitude towards the oldies, but pre 2000 includes a lot of recenties. i don't really understand why production quality would put you off. one of the most successful movies of recent years was BWP and it was docu-horror. also, if you are a horror fan you are really limiting your enjoyment of the genre by boycotting anything that isn't glossy. try and look 'at what lies beneath'. i do agree with one thing you said, house of 1000 corpses does lose its way.
also, here are some movies you should watch that are from the dark ages of pre 2000. watch them for two good reasons. firstly, you won't be able to join in on many threads if you don't and secondly it'll go some way to rebuilding your credibility.
1, the exorcist. 2, the omen trilogy. 3, the fri13ths. 4, NOES's. 5, halloweens. 6, zombie. 7, suspiria. 8, the wickerman. 9, a clockwork orange. 10, cannibal holocaust. 11, ringu. 12, black christmas. 13, psycho. 14, TCM. 15, nosferatu.
the list is endless, but if i had to recommend a foundation, this would be it. finally, you should watch whatever makes you happy but if i were you i'd hold my own council in here rather that sweep in and rubbish the history of horror on my first day. lol. on the plus side, your first thread has made an impact. good luck noob!

04-06-2007, 07:05 AM
you thought touristas was good i the idea was good but the acting was garbage and it was a half hour too short
but defenetly watch the EXORSIST
HERE IS AN IDEA There is a shit movie called the Exorcist the begining it was made last couple years so you might like it (2000's)
watch that than watch the original and maybe that will help you see the difference of how an old movie is mutch better than a new one in that example

also what you are proving is that hollywood can put ourt junk that teens will watch and like and call it a good movie just bcause a small age group will like it because there are some tits in it

if you like 2000 or newer than why not 1999 see it only one year or 1998 that is only one more year see what i mean you can't limit your self like that go back to all the old stuff

i haven't sen the desent yet but is sounds like this book i read by the same name but just changed to make a film version if you can't get pasted the first 10 minutes that you might have some kind of attention problem

chech out all the asian horror too a lot of it is better than the american stuff

and watch SAW that film is great just because it was done by 2 film students

04-06-2007, 07:30 AM
Wait... Just go watch the Scream trilogy... they are close to your stupid boundary, and they would probably suit your fill.

You refuse to watch anything before the year 2000?

Does that mean that you are not even willing to give them a try?

Where you are now Audition is the starting point,you should broaden your horizons,I started watching horror in the early eighties,and while i enjoyed many movies made in that period i found many more that I liked from earlier generations.

Your opinion.

Man, When you critisize my movie tastes, I accept it and respect your opinion. Now I'm critisizing yours and you act so offended.

Also, Why are you guys so mad that I don't like movies before the year 2000? I can barely understand why you guys are annoyed with it, but it's ridiculous the amount of insults I'm getting.

To: Joshaube: I've seen House of the Dead 2, And it was terrible.
You told me to watch Saw 2 and 3, and I did. They are both terrible compared to Saw 1. (Saw 2 isn't so bad though).

I also saw Jeepers Creepers awhile ago and I forgot to mention it. But I thought it was pretty good. Not something to jump around for though.

-----------

Also, I'm not refusing to watch the Old movies (I should have worded it more properly), But I simply don't enjoy watching them.

-----------

I've also seen Scream 3 and thought it was ridiculous. I was also watching some Jason Friday the 13th movies, and thought they were again, ridiculous.

-----------

Anyhow, I was looking for a forum that I could talk with about movies, rather than blaming me for not watching their favourite movies. I found absolutely 0 nice people here. I'm out.

EDIT: Actually the DP McCoy guy doesn't seem so bad.

I won't flame you but movies are an art form... would you not read a book or look at paintings that were created before you were born? You'll find many of the things you liked or loved in recent horror has been used in past movies and in better ways.

True say Despare. But there are still many significant differences. Thanks for your opinion.

I'm thinking of watching Jason and Halloween. Although I WOULD give the other older movies a chance, its just that they don't seem like I would like them.

Mind suggesting a few older movies that I would like? I don't really like twisted old countryish movies. I don't really know if you'll understand what I mean.

Good. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And I'm probably about to make some enemies with this post BUT it needs to be said:



OMFG!!!

The arrogance is here is amazing!!! Someone with a different opinion than you and your clique and all of a sudden he or she is not worthy?

Ridiculous. I've only been here for a short while and I picked up pretty quickly how you guys treat new members. Get over yourselves, please. Get off that high horse, because what you say is NOT the definitive end to all arguments over Horror movies.

So what if a person doesn't like "older" movies. Bad production value can be distracting. That is why it is difficult for younger generation to watch these outdated movies. And there is NOTHING wrong with that. If you like older movies, then that is great. I like them also. BUT does that mean that someone should be chastised for not liking them? No, of coarse not.

Yeah, so I didn't like Hostel. I thought it was BORING. It was so hard for me to sit through that movie. The first half of the movie seemed like a bad softcore porno and I thought the torture scenes were overrated. What am I supposed to do now? Tell Auditioned that he has "poor taste"? I mean, that is his pick for #1.

No. I won't do that. I'm not stuck up enough to think my opinion is above his.

Try The Thing... or The Fly (the Cronenberg remake). Check out the HDC Top 100 in the General forum and maybe stick to domestic movies before 75' as far as your tastes go. Just because you don't THINK you'll like a movie doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a shot. There's always the power button.

a slight over reaction on your part here dawsey. yes, some people criticised harshly without a counter argument but most responded negatively with a supporting argument. thats constructive! if you come into an arena where you find some very knowledgeable people, not to mention opinionated, and make a somewhat blinkered sweeping statement in a thread you started on your first day, then you have to have your wits about you. i'm still not convinced its not a hoax. furthermore, you shouldn't quit AUDITIONED, you've provoked good debate. :)

Hey, your coming here will hopefully lead you to finding and loving movies you would never have seen before. There are a lot of movies that are old but so progressive that they're beyond anything recent in almost any aspect. A lot of them were banned for being such. Anyway, the last seen movie thread is a good place to see what other people think about films and to post your opinions on movies you've seen recently. There can be some good exchanges of ideas here... but it's not often that the exchange is fair if you catch my drift.

And, it's true, I can't distinguish my choices in horror. I'm mainly a random type of guy, I'd watch any movies besides oldies. Maybe I can't stand the quality. (There's only been 3 movies I've seen that I didn't like: The two I mentioned earlier, and Babel.

Hold on everyone. No need to start an unnecessary argument over such a trivial thing. You have every right to come and post your opinion on this forum, Aud. You have poor tastes that doesnt mean you are unwelcome here. All I want is for you to watch more movies and then share your opinions with us. Bashing the horror genre and saying stuff like "I dont like old horror movies" wont get you anywhere if you are a wannabe fan of horror.

There have been some excellent suggestions made in this thread already for you, Aud. I will summarise them together and try to classify it as best as I can...in your "recent" terms...

If you are into the atmospheric, creepy stuff, with horror and chills in the end...I recommend
House on Haunted Hill (the new one),
Dog Soldiers,
The Thing,
Prince of Darkness,
The Omen (original),
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,
Poltergeist,
From Dusk Till Dawn,
Pitch Black,
Resident Evil,
The Eye,
Ju-On (original, NOT The Grudge).


If you delve into the comic part of horror, suggestion comes in the form of
Eight Legged Freaks,
Shaun of the Dead,
Slither,
Dead Alive,
Ghostbusters,
Gremlins,
Re-Animator series,
Evil Dead II
& Army of Darkness.


If you like slashers, watch
Halloween,
Friday the 13th pt. I, II, III (for starters)
Se7en,
Maniac,
Intruder,
Scream,
Final Destination,
The Devil's Rejects,
Cube,
Cube Zero.


If you like gore and monsters, I ll recommend
Pumpkinhead,
Ginger Snaps,
Candyman,
Evil Dead,
Demons,
Nightmare on Elm Street,
Alien,
Aliens,
Predator,
The Hidden.


While you are at it, be sure to watch Battle Royale. That is one movie I am sure you will dig. If you want more suggestions, toss me a PM and I ll be more than glad to be of help.

One thing I can gurantee you, you wont be BORED watching any one of those movies listed above.

Shaun of the Dead,
Slither,
Dead Alive,
Ghostbusters,
Gremlins,
Re-Animator series,
Evil Dead II
& Army of Darkness.


If you like slashers, watch
Halloween,
Friday the 13th pt. I, II, III (for starters)
Se7en,
Maniac,
Intruder,
Scream,
Final Destination,
The Devil's Rejects,
Cube,
Cube Zero.


If you like gore and monsters, I ll recommend
Pumpkinhead,
Ginger Snaps,
Candyman,
Evil Dead,
Demons,
Nightmare on Elm Street,
Alien,
Aliens,
Predator,
The Hidden.


While you are at it, be sure to watch Battle Royale. That is one movie I am sure you will dig. If you want more suggestions, toss me a PM and I ll be more than glad to be of help.

One thing I can gurantee you, you wont be BORED watching any one of those movies listed above.

Wow, perfect reply! Thanks for the suggestions man. I like how you put them into groups.

Yeah, I've been wanting to watch Cube and Cube Zero for quite some time now (I heard Cube 2 was really dum). I've also seen all of the Final Destination movies and thought they were awsome.

I'm not really into the comic horror (I've seen Gremlins and Shaun of the Dead).

I've also seen Gingersnaps and some of the Aliens, And I have to say I don't like Monster movies. It's probably because I like to relate to the movie sort of (ie. what would I do if I was there?). Can't really do that since I don't believe in monsters.

I also don't really like what I call "Swat horror movies". It's basically where the main characters are part of the S.W.A.T or some kind of force where they have tons of equipment and guns. An example of this is House of the Dead 2, and Dog Soldiers kind of sounds like a "Swat horror movie".

Really the only ones I'm looking forward too are the Friday the 13th Series, possibly Nightmare on Elms Street Series, the Halloween Series, and the Cube series.

my formula for good horror has been to work through the HDC top 100 and alternate top100 until i find something i like, then to inquire from others members if its worth a watch. give this a go to try to compile a healthy stock of key movies before you expand into the niche areas.
