An American Crime - The fact it's a true story made it very disturbing, it's scary what some humans are capable of.

Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2. Specifically, John mark Byers, that man is as evil as anything Stephen King could think of, and he is real and walking around out there. A truly scary individual and a real life horror. Not only that but also the Arkansas judicial system. Never let yourself be taken in police custody in Arkansas, no matter what. Arkansas is just horror upon horrors, backwoods murderers, corrupt police, barbaric populace, nothing decent can come from there. I'd rather vacation is Somolia or Chechnya.

Marathon Man is the most recent one I've watched. The scene in Dustin Hoffman's bathroom when the assassins are breaking in, is a master class in suspense.

Also No Country For Old Men. The scene in the hotel room with the air gun and the lock.

I got to check out Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills. At first, with the title "Paradise Lost", I was getting it confused with "Lost Horizon" with Ronald Coleman, or that is was somehow tied to the poem by Milton.

It's a documentarians and trial buffs dream film. Get this, per the Roger Ebert film review, "the filmmakers, Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, seem to have had complete access to both sides of the trial process, including private family meetings, conferences with lawyers, even sessions in the judge's chambers." It's like, 'what?!' I see the full film is on youtube http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...57752919,d.aWM.

The Act of Killing was the most terrifying film I've maybe ever seen.

I read the premise. Very weird, and possibly unethical. Why was it the most terrifying film you've ever seen?

Do you think John Mark Byers committed the murders and Damien Echols and co are innocent?

Because it made me call into question ideas of what "evil" means.

How do you mean?

for me - tension is probably the greatest source of horror.

and to that end - Bridesmaids was the only film I walked out of the room on because at one point it was so tense I couldn't bear to watch.

Loved the movie but one scene was killing me
