View Full Version : Hello, looking for recommendations
Hello everyone, you may notice by my post count that I'm new to the forums. I've always been a fan of horror movies, but over the last few months I've been actively watching movies from this genre with some friends.
Anyway, I did a quick google search and found this site in hopes to find more(quality) movies.
I'm going to run off some of the recent movies I've seen and what I thought about them to hopefully illustrate my general likes/dislikes within the genre.
Liked:
Hatchet
Wrong Turn 2
Halloween(series)
Usually movies with really sweet deaths and/or cool characters, can still classify as a 'bad' movie.
Disliked:
One Last Call
Prom Night
Insanitarium
13: Game of Death
The Cottage
For me it's mostly all about the deaths. :D If there are good deaths and a bad story I can at least find the movie bearable.
All suggestions are welcomed and appretiated, and also what do you guys(and gals) uphold as "must see" horror films?
P.S. I look forward to chatting with everyone and hope to stick around the forums for some time to come. :p

That should get you started. In terms of good death scene movies the Final Destination movies come to mind. The Saw series and Hostel movies too, and Mind Hunters did fairly well with death scenes IMO.

Take a gander at some of the 'top 100' threads in the general forum.
Also, look in Japanese Horror. You might enjoy One Missed Call (the original)

You might enjoy "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects". I know I did.

I recommend checking out Maniac, My Bloody Valentine and Intruder (the slasher flick not the other one). For something more modern give Inside a go.

Big fan of those myself.

I'm looking forward to Mindhunters since I really liked the other movies you suggested.
@Posher778: Nope, I really can't handle reading 160+ posts right now...welcome appreciated....
Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I'm currently downloading all the ones mentioned that I hadn't already seen :P

My recommendation: Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon. Sounds right up your alley.
PS - What part of PEI are you from? I used to spend just about every summer over there and have been from tip to tip many times. BEAUTIFUL place, I really need to get back. I'm from N.B. myself.

Just wanted to add Rob Zombie's "Halloween". I never liked the original but apparently Mr. Zombie can do no wrong when it comes to movies. And Sheri Moon Zombie is really good as Michael Meyer's mother.

I have lived in Charlottetown my whole life(New London in the summers), it is indeed beautiful but there's next to nothing here...lol
Where in N.B. are you from? Lately I only seem to go over to catch concerts(Queens of the Stone Age and Bad Religion recently).
@Dehlia: I LOVE Rob Zombie's Halloween, he's a huge fan of the original series so it was nice to see him do it justice. I'd like to see him do another Halloween, and I'm looking forward to the animated movie he's been working on(not sure what it's called).
@ChainStalker: I saw Cube on TV late one night, and was pleasantly surprised by it. The ending had a nice little twist as well ;)
@Jugchord: Thanks man, I'll check out The Tripper, Hellraiser(they seem really messed up), and Slither. I think I downloaded Feast a while ago and forgot about it, thanks for the suggestions and reminder :)
On a side note, does anyone know how to quote multiple people? I've not seen a thread explaining how do things like that or how to use spoiler tags.

Cut & Paste.
Use the word SPOILER.

some forums do have a spoiler tag ..
i think it just whites out the text - which you can just do manually here..
ask Newb - he's been playing with it lately :)

I've used it on another vBulletin forum before, and it would hide text that could be made visible by clicking a link(not a redirection link).

Pretty much what we do around here for spoiler tags is either change the colour to white like so: If you "quote" this post, you'll see exactly what formatting I used. It's not complicated.. If you highlight the text, you'll be able to read it.
Either that, or just write ***SPOILER*** and leave some space.
As for quoting multiple people...copy and paste is pretty much the only option.
