Movies that you liked and everyone else hated???

[TheOmen]

Understandable. But how does that movie seem to you now? The original Alien movie is much the same. Nothing like it before which made it scary as hell. But when I watch Alien today I still find it a great movie, even though it is quite old now. The Terminator is another old film that despite the (now) cheesy special effects I find still an amazing film. Halloween , for me, gets more retarded to me with age.

Halloween seems like a great movie to me now. I appreciate the atmosphere which age does not take away. The score still kicks ass. Donald Pleasance kicks ass. I enjoy watching it, because it's masterful filmmaking on a small budget. Same reason I still watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining. I've been watching each of these for over 20 years, and they're all among my favorite movies. There's a reason these are deemed classics-because they remain effective decades after they were made.

By the way, Prince Of Darkness is a good movie. Not great, but good.

Psycho for example was the first of its kind and back then people had never seen anything like it and it scared the hell out of 'em but if you show it to someone today there's a 98 percent chance it wont do a thing for 'em. [/B]

We watched Psycho in my Film Studies class once, there were about 15 of us, a few, including myself had already seen it, but it did manage to scare/creep out at least three people. And that was in a brightly lit classroom with traffic noises outside, not bad eh?

Films I liked:

1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - It was funny
2. Alien Vs Predator - I'm not sure if many people on this forum liked it or not? But I know a few people who don't.
3. Urban Legend - It was just an okay slasher...


Films I didn't like:

1. A Clockwork Orange - I know this isn't horror, but I really didn't like this film, I did turn it off half-way through. May give it another go thou.

I'm sure there are more I hate, but mind has gone blank O.O

I think a lot of people mostly liked LOTD, Return of the living dead and DOTD remake.

Yeah, I didn't like Cabin Fever either, I really thought it was a bad movie and just ripped off others. Maybe I just missed something everyone else saw o.o

I too liked Ghosts of Mars.
Also The Gate II (check it out if you haven't seen it, pure crap...but really fun crap) and Jason X.

I didn't like:
28 Days Later (it's NOT a zombie movie!!!!!!)
House of 1000 Corpses
or any American remake of a Japanese horror movie.
