Recommend Me Some Frightening movies.

anything with steven seagal

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)...

• Halloween
  
• The Grudge
  
• The Shining
  
• Session 9
  
• The Blair Witch Project
  
• Alien
  
• Event Horizon
  
• Crazy Eights
  
• The Descent

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:

• Carnival of Souls
  
• The Thing From Another World
  
• Invasion of the Body Snatchers

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.

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.
