I have a list of faves, but the one that leads the pack for me is “The Descent”.
Something about that film just shook me to the core. The soundtrack is a masterpiece and fits so well with the visuals, it just gets under your skin. [/quote]
what is so scary about blind anemic humanoids?
aside from that the cave related troubles were scary.

Yes - I recently watched it based on recommendations and I also found the ‘caving’ troubles to be scarier than the humanoids.
After seeing the first one killed fairly easily you lose all respect for them! haha
I mentioned this film earlier, but it’s worth noting again. This movie is so fucking weird that it’s scary. It’s like a really bad acid trip in black and white.

Reckon my favorite horror flick was that movie made in 1982 with the characters:
R.J MacReady, Bennings, Nauls, Palmer, Dr. Blair, Childs, Clark, Gary, Fuchs, Windows, Norris and Dr. Copper. Forget the title, but it was set in Outpost #31. [/quote]

I think two of the scariest movies I’ve seen are Clover Field and District 9. They were so horrificly bad that it was scary. [/quote]

just watched Donnie Darko, weird f-in movie. On to another weird one Jacob’s Ladder.
The probably Dead Snow to cap off the night[/quote]
Donnie Darko would have to one of my all-time favourite movies, but I don’t know how anyone would class it as a horror movie.
Dead Snow is mean. Saw it at a festival a few yaers ago and it was so awesome[/quote]
Agreed. After watching that and Jacob’s Ladder last night, neither of those are horror movies
[/quote]
True, I don’t think either would be classified as horror movies, but still found both Donnie Darko and Jabob’s Ladder to be creepier than ‘classic’ horror movies like Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street.
Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster. I’m actualy also a big horror movie fan, so I decided to pitch in. Some of the movies mentioned here are not really horror, like it Donnie Darko or Jacobs Ladder, although pretty good movies. Some are beyond horror and more into the gore category, which personally i dont consider really horror myself since its more of disgusting than scary.
Someone mentioned The Descent, which is pretty cool and you actually have a sequel to back it up if you’d like. I noticed noone mentioned the movie REC, which would be my recomendation to get some chills. Its a spanish movie, and there’s also a remake by the name of Quarantine, which isnt nearly as good in my opinion, but not bad altogether.
Oh, and dont watch Cannibal Holocaust, its guaranteed to f*ck up the rest of your day/week.
Meh. Wasn’t a huge fan of Cannibal Holocaust. I also don’t find gore to be scary. Like Ichi the Killer was just sick and wrong, but not scary.
I LOVE Horror movies (like all girls do) - but i want a movie that will make me cry mommy and won’t let me sleep for days!! The Exorcist is still one of my faves and is one of the only movies that I still freaks me out.
I’m going to look to The Orphanage, REC and The Strangers - good recs gentlemen! Might even plan for a Horror movie night this weekend, so keep 'em coming!
But what i really like is paranormal stuff (Paranormal Activity also didn’t do it for me, also saw it in the movie theater), anyone know of anything good on that end?
Ok, I saw a horror movie years ago that was awesome, but I don’t remember the name of it. This businessman is on his way to or from vegas, but there’s some kind of axe-murderer on the loose. Then he meets up with this heroin addict guy. And I can’t really tell much more without ruining it. Can anybody help me out?

Orphanage! Forgot that one from my last post. I’d recommend REC, The Orphanage, The Descent or The Uninvited (“A Tale of Two Sisters” is the japanese version of this one). Can’t go wrong with any of those
I enjoyed Romero’s zombie movies, the man invented the living dead genre practically, I got to say this movie really struck me like how the original Dawn did the loss of hope for the gang of survivors the quick loss of civility and just all hell breaking loose. I know the film got panned and i never quite understood why.
