Recommend Me Some Frightening movies.
Could some of you could post a list of the horror movies that actually scared you and had a lasting effect on you, I'm going to pick some dvds up this weekend.
|
i started a thread kind of like this a while ago, and got some pretty good responses:
http://www.horror.com/forum/showthre...ght=frightened but definitely i'd say pick up audition if you don't have it yet. maybe something by david lynch, too. inland empire, lost highway, eraserhead, and twin peaks: firewalk with me. |

you can't really be prepared for that film. |
Oh, Audition, for sure. Fucking horrifying. The Exorcist did it for me, too.
|
Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door
It's not really horror, but it did have a disturbing effect on me! |
The only movie to have a horrifying, lasting impression on me was The Exorcist. Linda Blair in that make-up still haunts me in my dreams to this day.

Every horror fan has to have "The Shining". It is my favorite horror movie but here are a few other good horror movies in no particular order. Maybe wont have lasting effect but are just good movies!
Alien American Psycho 29 Days Later/28 Weeks Later Battle Royale Cape Fear (1991) Dawn of the Dead (1978+2004) The Devil's Rejects The Exorcist Frailty From Dusk Till Dawn House on Haunted Hill (1999) IT Joyride The Lost Boys Misery Seven Stir of Echoes The Thing Wrong Turn |

Oooo. This is a good thread, even if I am jumping into it a bit late...
Movies that actually SCARED the hell out of me me (and stuck with me afterwards; sometimes keeping me up at night)...
Crazy Eights came out of this year's After Dark's film fest 8 Films To Die For... It was absolutely incredible. A combination of Session 9 (using the backdrop of an old abandoned hospital/house) and The Grudge (being a ghost story with Japanese-influenced direction). I honestly recommend it. It left me clutching my boyfriend's hand in the theater. ... Re: Audition. I REALLY liked Audition, but I found it more "horrifying" than, say, "hauntingly scary." It was delightfully grotesque, gross, cringe-worthy... But I wouldn't say that it scared me per say... ... Re: Lynch. I love him. But he doesn't scare me. Makes me uncomfortable, yes, but doesn't scare me... I would LOVE to see him do an all-out horror movie, though. I believe he would be quite successful at it. ... Also, I feel as though I am somehow doing my childhood (and my beloved father who LOVED showing me these movies) injustice if I omit the following: All three of those movies absolutely terrified me when I was younger and definitely stuck with me, kept me up at night. They don't necessarily pass the test of time with scariness per say, but I really have to give them a nostalgic nod. |
Vampyr, Awakening of the Beast, Ju-On, Poltergeist when I was a kid, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Carnival of Souls

definitely creepy. |
A movie which i have trouble watching is Dawn Of the Dead (2004). It is a fast, angry and agressive movie. i can't really say any others, because i seem to be able to watch them eventually. this movie i tried to watch for the third time recently, and found that i could not watch it.

Thanks for the recommendations.
I watched Begotten last night with a friend, I did'nt really get into it, I think I might watch it again by myself in the night time to get the full effect. |
