Just remembered Jaws......idk it didnt grab me like everyone else i dont even consider it horror but I guess shark attacks are horrifying lol

What? Jaws is an amazing film! Each to their own I guess :)

what dint like about jaws ?

amazing movie.

Idk maybe because I saw it when I was young and didnt see what the big deal was so i guess I hafta take another look at it now to see if I enjoy it

Jaws changed my life as a kid. I was obsessed with sharks for years because of it..

W T F

Everybody "Must Love Jaws"

did anybody like the follow ups to jaws, i thought jaws two was ok but after that it went down hill for me.

I only liked the first one.

Ok. That just made me laugh out loud. At work.

How can I possibly live without you, Newb?

Jaws 3 was so cheesy and so much fun. It's a guilty pleasure.:o

Is that the one with Dennis Quaid?

I agree with...

• The Howling
• Wicker Man (sorry, Wicker!)
• Nightmare on Elm Street (though it's growing on me like a tumor with every viewing)
• 28 Days Later (and I too loved the sequel - I just thought that 28 Days could have been much, MUCH better)

Also mentioned that I agree with:

• High Tension
• The Strangers
• Halloween 2 (original)

I also have to add, in terms of films that are incredibly popular in the Horror Community (here as well) that I really can't stand are Hershel Gordon Lewis (couldn't get through Wizard of Gore) and typical Giallo (couldn't get through Tenebre). I guess I just don't 'get' those movies.

I also hated Signs, which was immensely popular.

wizard of gore was quite boring.

Yeah. It was a really bad movie, but fun.:o

@Chrono - my husband would be in complete agreement with you on The Wicker Man and your basic giallo.:(

i thought it was michael caine, cant remember dennis quade in it.

I loved Signs. One of my favorite movies. I actually hear more negative reviews about it then postitive ones though.

I couldnt stand "Bram Stokers Dracula" and "The Blair Witch Project"
Terrible films

Man I used to drive my parents crazy with it. I watched it every day till I wore the tape out!

As far as the sequels go I liked Jaws 2 but the rest were disappointing.

Love this one:

You're off my Christmas card list now lady.

Vic Morrow died for the Twilight Zone movie, sad.

You're thinking of Jaws 4.

Ah, OK. Well then, I have to agree with you on that, very cheesy movie, but a guilty pleasure! :D

@Chrono - don't let Roderick Usher hear you say that you don't like Giallo! :p

oh that's right, i cant remember jaws 3. ill have to go back and watch it again.

watched this movie today, have to say it bored me to death. i was looking so forward to this with all the hype, and was just left so disappointed.

I really liked that movie. Sorry you didnt like it. That happens a lot with hype i've noticed.

alot of people i know liked it, i found it really dragged. dont think i should have put this under horror.

It isnt really.

I enjoyed Super 8 but I did lose interest towards the end so I can see people not liking it.
It was more of a nostalgia buzz for me reminding me of the kids orientated flicks of the 80s.

i was hoping it would be like the 80's flick, to take me back to when i was a kid and it was, but i just felt there was something missing all the way through the movie.

What was probably missing for you was that even though it was a homage to 80's kid friendly monster movies, it wasnt an 80's kid friendly monster movie. It came out in 2011 so of course it's still going to feel like a movie from today no matter how hard it tried to be a nostalgic trip even though i felt like it did a very good job succeeding in doing that.

both hostels. absolute trash i thought

first hostel is good, i can understand hostel 2.

Phantasm is one of those films that I know a lot of people liked, but I don't care for it at all. It just felt particularly silly watching those Ewok-ish characters run around and the little sci-fi twist just felt wrong with the supernatural set-up.

My biggest problem really has to be that the movie felt pretty straight-forward and obvious, lacking any sort of in-depth storytelling.

i hated phantasm as well, bored the hell out of me.

What is wrong with you two? :eek:

I didnt love it but i enjoyed it. To each their own i guess

lol, i just couln not get excited over a flying ball ;)

I love Phantasm too...These people are crazy!!! lol/jk

I can't stand The Exorcist...I just don't get the hype...:confused:

i love exorcist :eek:

it's the story in the movie i liked.

I'm with The Flayed One in that I preferred Exorcist 3 to the first Exorcist.

I actually feel very bad about myself, like I'm an idiot or something, but I find no enjoyment in The Evil Dead. I impulse bought the DVD of it before I had ever seen it because it has always been raved about, and then I watched it a few times and realized I had a DVD of a movie I would never watch again.

I also feel like nobody could possibly respect my opinion on anything when I say I was thoroughly unimpressed with:
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
Don't Look Now (1973) [I have a hard time accepting this as a horror film]
The Howling (1981) [one of my least favorite werewolf films]
The Haunting (1963) [too early for this forum, but it's on my "most overhyped" list]

and I've seen The Reflecting Skin often discussed as a great horror movie, but that is NOT a horror film. It's not, and anybody who says otherwise is more stupid than me for not liking The Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I feel similar with Picnic at Hanging Rock, though there is at least some intrigue with that one from a horror/supernatural/whatever angle.

You're probably not going to get a lot of people to agree with you on your choices but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. To be honest, i liked Evil Dead but i don't really get the big deal about it.
