"The Ring" was pretty goddamn scary. Even though the story is ridiculous. I mean,c'mon .....a videotape???....no one even watches VHS anymore. Ha ha ha.....but really, that's just the first problem I have with that dumb movie. But for some reason, it scared the hell outta me.
Ummm....that one sci-fi movie...."Event Horizon." I thought that was pretty fucked up too. I dunno why. Probably what was the most horrible was that kid who was about to shoot himself into space and then he woke up from his trance a few seconds before the hatch opened. I felt his panic and it freaked me out bigtime!
So there were some scary moments in "The Grudge" but it all tension induced by the sounds and atmosphere. Which is all well and good but....it just wasn't it, ya' know?

old ... i'm 43 .. i saw jaws at the theatre when it was first released .
I still have a hard time considering it a horror movie .. and certainly not Deliverance .. good movie but i didnt find it scary.
(and to be honest - i'm already on record on an older thread here saying how much i hated event horizon :)
atmosphere is 98% of a great horror movie ..
and i thought The Grudge was oozing with it .. a lot of nice effective little touches ... but thats whay i liked .. we dont all look for the same thing in films ..
but ... you still didnt answer my question re. whats been better in the last 5 years ..
