Nice choice 
Red - Technically, this is a revenge movie, but it’s unlike any revenge movie you’ll ever see; it’s driven by characterization over violence, although there is a fair amount of that. Don’t read any reviews before watching this (unless you already know the plot): you are far better off going into this movie blind.
Brian Cox is amazing in this…

Looks like a gay Sundance movie. But since Tom Sizemore and Bryan Cox are in it, it must rock.

If that’s Terry Crews in your avatar, then you rock…oh and watch the movie, too…it has a rock factor nearly equal to Crews’…
I don’t really think this movie should have sucked but it seems that most people never heard of it.
Brotherhood of the Wolf. It’s french, I suggest watching it with subtitles, the dubbed voices can be a little distracting. One of my favorite movies ever.
The movie Mirrors with Keifer Sutherlund was a movie I thought was going to suck, but actually ended up being pretty awesome.

BOTW is excellent and a movie I’d never have thought of posting here, even though it fits perfectly - a period ‘werewolf’ movie with a rational explanation (it shoulda’ sucked, but it didn’t) I saw it when it was first released in the theater and it had a pretty good cast: Vincent Cassel, Monica Belucci and Mark Dacascos.
It explores ideas like mass hysteria and controlling the general population through fear (for those who care about seeing that sort of lofty theme in a mere ‘werewolf’ movie, that is).
Brotherhood of the Wolf is AMAZING! Me and my brother saw it in theaters. Kicked fucking ass.
To this day it’s still my favorite movie. I watch it with Gladiator probably every 6 months or so.
Definitely for those that like something uniquely dark in their horror movies
CUBE
if anyone mentioned it. solid.
good thread…
Arise, thread. Arise!

There is actually a very deep history of fear associated with the myth of VAGINA DENTATA.
Many relate that to a fear or sexual anxiety associated with possible castration during intercourse.
I may see that movie on that relation alone.[/quote]
No, it’s not a piranha or still from the latest Alien movie; it’s another plug for Teeth…life imitates art by basing an anti-rape condom design on vagina dentata. Ouch!
Redbelt - part heist movie, part martial arts movie, with very little actual fighting. More than redeems itself through the acting and plot.
^turned into more of a drama.
Pontypool - gorehounds be warned, this is a zombie flick with no visible biting or brain-snacking: the action takes place in a small-town radio station where the staff attempt to defend themselves against a zombie virus with a very novel way of spreading itself (it transmits itself through language, so you’ll either love it or you’ll hate it), while reporting on the infected.
Most of the carnage takes place off-screen, and comes in the form of eyewitness reports phoned into the station from the radio weatherman who was trapped outside when the plague hit.
His description of the zombies’ attacks, his attempts to survive and his encounter with a zombified boy are some of the creepiest stuff I’ve seen in a horror…
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter
As awesome as this may sound, resist all temptation to watch this movie. It sucked so bad.
A movie that I thought was pretty good was Casshern, but my wife thought it sucked. Anyone else seen this one? It was made in Japan in 2004.
Whoa, pontypool looks really interesting! gonna have to look for that one!
Its been said, but I have to say it again: The Descent.
by all accounts, on paper, this movie sucked ass in every facet of film.
a purely female cast, full of nobodies.
typical “scared of the dark” type creature horror.
it was canadian. (jk, lol)
if anyone would have tried to explain the movie to me, i would have laughed, and reassured them I’d never “waste my time”, but the first i heard of it was the trailer on tv.
spoilers
Holy shit. just watching the preview, when you see the creature crawl out of her flashlight beam, back into the darkness, and when they’re trying to get the camera to work, and when the NV kicks on, there is a creature right behind them, OMG.
/spoilers
Just after seeing those things, I just knew this movie was gonna be horrifying. Then, lo and behold, I see it at wal mart, for $10 on Blu-Ray and scooped it up. Man, I was not disappointed.
Also, after reading somewhere on the boards about how many people loved “The Mist” I had to buy that one too, and you guys didn’t let me down, what a fantastic movie. Stephen King is a genius.

Yeah I enjoyed that movie. That is one of the few movies that is “based on a true story” that is actually about a true story.
This is a bit off topic because I am not sure that I enjoyed this movie, I was just deeply disturbed by it. The movie “Stoic,” directed by Uwe Boll, who according to the internet everyone hates.
It is “based on a true story” about four German prisoners in 2006, basically it is a super slow moving story, the four men are really the only characters in the movie.
The movie literally depicts just a long, drawn out, torture session for an hour and a half with interviews thrown in with the characters to break up the story. It made me have an extremely difficult time sleeping afterwards.
I watched it on netflix streaming and it is broken on there, the last 10 minutes of the movie are cut off. I had to find some random site online to watch it illegally just so I could see the story resolve in its own fucked up way.
