20 HORROR MOVIES YOU HAVE TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE

[rjwonline]

This is one hell of a good list, not much to fault here at all. I've seen all 20 because I am a horror freak, BOOM!

[Morningriser]

I bet your mom is damn proud of you!

[bamahorrorfan87]

well i can go seen them all

[Bluecat]

Nice list. I have certainly seen them all. It would be nice though, if these lists weren't always so predictable. Do any of you ever get frustrated because they never provide you with anything new?

Yeah, I have seen them all and I think I own almost all of them.

Pretty much ::sad::

I feel that most horror movies these days have zero scare factor and some of them are getting just down right lame (Unfriended, It Follows, The Gallows).

The one recent horror movie that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end was Crimson Peak, truly incredible!!

I own most of the "typical" horror movies but I also have bought some that haven't been on many lists. I guess it boils down to what you like, we all have similar and different tastes.

How many people on here own Cold Prey/Cold Prey II, The Descent/The Descent II, Cabin in the Woods, Evil Dead (remake), The Collector/The Collection, 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later, The Children, 30 Days of Night, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, The Ninth Gate, From Hell, the entire Resident Evil series or the entire Underworld series?? These are just a few of what consists in my collection ::cool::

I wish I didn't agree that horror movies have gone way down hill, but the truth is...they have.

As for your collection, it's awesome. ^-^ I own The Descent, Cabin in the Woods, 28 Days Later/28 Weeks Later, Resident Evil 1-4, High Tension, Audition (2 Disc Edition), Cabin Fever, The Grudge/The Grudge 3, The Ring/The Ring Two, Seven, Nosferatu, The Last House on the Left (remake), I Spit on Your Grave and The Exorcist.

I plan on getting many more, but I haven't been collecting very long, unfortunately. =/

[FryeDwight]

Some decent choices, but some lame ones too. And not putting ANYTHING prior to PSYCHO is just wrong...lots of classics made before them -many better than this list.

[horcrux2007]

This seems like it was made by a person who just dabbles in horror but isn't actually a big fan.

[Roiffalo]

This list reminds me of when Sinister 2 was in theaters and I was listening to the radio. Some soccer mom was listing off what was in theaters, and when S2 came up I wanted to slap her. ''I haven't seen the first but oooo, sounds scary!''

I like this comment a lot.

I concur. Freaks, Nosferatu, Diabolique...just to name a very few.

Agreed.

Im agree with you, all the list are the same ::sad::

Anyone know where I can watch a Diabolique english dub? I read it exists.

What do you mean? Did you want to slap her because didn't see Sinister1, or cause Sinister 2 isn't scary, or cause you could tell she's never seen a horror film?

[Sculpt]

Im agree with you, all the list are the same ::sad::

What do you mean by, "all the list are the same"? You mean every film on that list is about the same?

Just my opinion, but I think Psycho, Exorcist, The Blair Witch Project, Scream, The Thing & The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are all very different than each other.

Or you mean seems every "Must See Before Die" lists are the same? I think it's good most can agree on the best horror films, because it means there's some common knowledge about what makes a good film & story. That never means every story is the same -- but it does mean, thankfully, most people don't think every horror they see is excellent.

I thought it was a good "Must See Before Die" list -- though if I were picky I debate having some of these for this type of list.

I think they meant that every "Must See" list has the same movie titles listed which doesn't mean that they are not good or anything it would just be nice to hear about some decent movies that we weren't already familiar with.

Exactly, thats what I meant, I mean i love all the movies named in the list but i would like to see something new and good.::smile::

I totally agree too! It doesn't seem like hardly any director is shooting for the moon anymore, so we get the same old rehashed stuff.

What did you think of Vacancy & Dead Silence?

[KarlaMauricio]

What did you think of Vacancy & Dead Silence?[/QUOTE]

well vacancy is not a good or bad movie, I think that its a little predictable but in another way it's a movie that keeps you watching till the end, and as for me i liked how the director made some references of psycho.
And with dead silence well i like that movie it's interesting but again not my favorite

That's cool. For me, for Vacancy, the only thing I predicted is there would be a killer or killers at the motel, other than that, I didn't know any of that was going to happen, nor when. So I found it pretty exciting. Plus, I thought the relationship between the two leads was very nicely done, helped make the film. A lot of horror has crap for characters and acting.

[DeadbeatAtDawn]

I guess I should see El Topo and Donnie Darko before I perish.

[Sculpt]

I guess I should see El Topo and Donnie Darko before I perish.

Yes, Donnie Darko should be seen once, or twice actually, cause it's a thinker. Do you like any thought in films? I see your gave The Thing 82 5/5, so I think you'll like it.

Ok the link in the OP doesn't work, anymore. Is this the same list everyone's referring to:

[Angra]

We at HDC ought to make our own before-you-die list.

Would be interesting to see how much different it would be to all the generic lists made by pro critics everywhere.

[Ms.Macabre_91]

That sounds like a pretty good idea,I definitely have some good cult classics in mind.

[Lord Voldemort]

Hails yeah. I'm already working on my list!

Small problem, that belongs in the Compilation section and I'm not sure all members visit it.

1 suggestion. Don't allow any discussions in that thread. It wil only make the thread chaotic before long.

[Angra]

Also, could we make a 20 titles limit?

[Lord Voldemort]

Hmmm... I smell involvement.

Naw no involvement. Just a guy who likes seeing boobs.

Already some pretty great lists going up on the other thread.

Hard to keep it to twenty but there's nothing I hate more than when someone asks for a list of whatever sort, and a member responds with a 75 page list no one cares to look at. Therefore, 20 is a splendid cutoff. Besides, like the post says, we can add some to our lists later.

[Angra]

Hard to keep it to twenty

I totally agree.

But since all the critics sticks to lists of 10-20 movies I think we should do the same.

But it's totally up to the thread maker. ::smile::

[Baron Von Marlon]

If your list is longer than 20 entries, try removing the most obvious ones that (almost) everybody likes.
It think it could make the lists more interesting.

[Angra]

From the looks of it it seems like Babadook will become a future classic.

I'm a little surprised, but it's cool. Interesting. ::smile::

[Baron Von Marlon]

It's a somewhat recent hit. I wonder how it'll do in 5-10 years or so.
Imo time's the best judge when it comes to movies and music.
Often people hate something when it's released and later on it becomes a classic. Or the other way around.

I think The Babadook will have enduring appeal for horror fans. The themes addressed in the movie, such as loss and grief, are timeless.

[Angra]

I got Deep Blue Sea, but I really don't know how to fit it in on my list. I don't know what to remove.

The problems I have to deal with. ::sad::

White people problems.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Those aren't themes I'm looking for when it comes to horror.
I still think the movie's more of a psychological drama.

You could remove Dead Alive. Great movie but it's more in the horror/comedy direction. It's why I didn't mention Army Of Darkness and such.

So, not a fan of Phantasm?

[Baron Von Marlon]

Haven't seen it. Always thought it's one of those more abstract films and overal I'm not a big fan of those.

[Repo'd]

You're right, it is pretty abstract. I love it but yeah, sounds like it might not be your cup of tea.

[Angra]

Then you certainly shouldn't watch Re-cycle.

No way, man. It's still the goriest movie ever made, it deserves its spot. ::cool::
