Well I was asking cause I wasn’t sure what hid guage is. He just said he didn’t think hostel or most scary movies were bad but thought this was sick. He said it has rape and shit. I’m not into that. Ghosts with grudges and girls coming out of tv’s dont’ scare me. The idea of wackos tieing people up and torturing them disturbs me though. I dont’ know if he gets out much, he’s an F16 pilot in the air force

A friend was just telling me that the hills have eyes was the shockingest, most disturbing movie he ever saw.
i probably won’t see it cause I ain’t into that shit.
Your friend has pretty bad taste in movies.
Not that I have seen either one, but are we talking about the original or the recent remake?
The remake…which sucked monkey ass. I bought the shit on dvd before ever seeing it…and I want my money back. It isn’t scary. It isn’t interesting. It isn’t written well and the “radioactive hillbillies” just make it look that much more stupid. If that movie was the most shocking movie that someone has ever seen, they don’t get out very much.
My friend downloaded Can. holocaust, we watched some scenes just out of pure curiosity, and after a few minutes we had enough. I swear, I don’t want to see scenes from that movie ever again.

I always thought those Scream movies were stupid- good, put me with a fucking serial killer in a damn town. I’ll be like Arnold in Predator, painting mud on myself and making boobytraps and exploding arrows.

haha thats exactly what i always thought to. what made me the most mad though, was when one of the “victims” would knock the killer to the ground and stun him, only to run away and let the killer rechase them. Cmon! you gotta finish the job there. I guess that would kinda end the movie a little quick tho…

Back in the mid-70’s there was a movie called “Sasquatch” - I was around 9 years old when it came out, and it was a documentary-like movie about Big Foot sightings.
I saw it in the theater, and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn’t sleep for a couple of nights after that - and then only with a light on. It really wasn’t that scary - but it played on my fears and made them real.
So with that in mind -
My daughter was 10 or so when The Grudge came out on DVD. She had been on this kick where all she wanted to watch was horror shows. She begged us to let her watch The Grudge. She was relentless. We told her that it was too scary for her. But that was like telling her she was a baby.
I made a deal with her. She could watch it - but there would be no head turning, or running out of the room. She was gong to have to watch the whole thing.
Good news is she has not begged to watch another horror film since. Bad news is - it’s been 2 years since I have slept through the night without having to get up and convince her that the movie was just pretend.
Yeah - I am a sadisitc SOB.

BWAHAHAHA!!! That sounds like something that I would do as well. Which says that if you did what I would do, it confirms that you are a sick bastard. Welcome to the club!
I can pretty much watch any horror movie with no problem. The Ring, Saw, Dawn of the Dead, The Devil’s Rejects, The Hills Have Eyes, Salem’s Lot, Halloween, Friday the 13th and all of their ilk doesn’t bother me at all… except for the Exorcist. To this day, that movie scares the crap out of me! I can handle psycho slashers, zombies, vampires, werewolves, alien attacks etc, but that movie creeps me out still! It’s something about the way they did satanic possession that grips you to the core and has never been done as well since.

Made by the same crew, and they’re hidious.

These movies are just wrong. I’m a major horror fan and I’ll watch almost anything, especially if it has a cult following, but these flicks are vile. I’d never suggest them to anyone, even with the humor thats inherent in some of the campy crap they pull with the cannibals. You can’t build a movie off of footage of actual animal slaughter. That’s pretty much what they did here in my opinion.

The one that chilled me the most was that HBO documentary on the “Iceman” (mob hitman). Especially one of the stories where he actually killed somebody who hadn’t done anything wrong other than annoy a mob guy. Makes you think twice about honking your horn or yelling at someone.
As for pure movies, “Halloween” ranks up at the top of my list. The background music and the way they shot that film was awesome. The “Exorcist” and “The Omen” are right there as well. I don’t really see too many horror flicks anymore since my wife can’t stand them.
Hands down the “best” horror movie has to be The Shining. Kubrick brilliantly created an unesasy atmosphere, climaxing in some freaky-ass shit(the elevator scene, anyone?)- that and Nicholsen’s awesome performance. It may not be the scariest movie, but it’s definitely up there as amongst the best horror experiences.
In terms of the scariest shit I’ve seen, in my childhood, without a doubt Steven King’s IT. I was 8 and at some fat bitch’s Halloween party, playing with Wee-Jee boards, those gatekeeer videos, etc. and she put this on. I can’t think of anything scarier in a childs mind than a demonic clown that thinks of fucked up ways to scare you, that only children and not your parents can see, and wants to rip you limb from limb and devour you. That scene where the kid’s paper boat goes down the sewer drain and IT convinces him to reach down to get it, then yanks him in and rips his arm off did quite a number on me then. I left right after the first part, did’t even watch the second half when they’re adults. I think I’ll rent it sometime just as a sorta “fuck you” to it, as I’m sure it would be pretty funny shit now.
Event Horizon also scared the shit out of me- the concept of pure evil actualized in the existince of a dimension of absolute chaos (hell) was and is as scary as you can get. The thing that was so unsettling about it was that because it’s in a science fiction backdrop set in the future, they could extrapolate the science behind it to make it sound possible. Those scenes of torture and chaos in the “hell dimension” fucked me up pretty good at the time- that and the ending left an unsettling feeling for days after. Very underated and highly recommened if you feel up for a good scare.
As someone who prefers darkly themed horror/scifi over anything else, here’s a list of some of my personal favorites:
Oldboy The Howling American Werewolf in London Dog Soldiers Near Dark Fright Night Nosferatu Lifeforce Salem’s Lot Feast John Carpenter’s The Thing The Body Snatchers Wolfen Night of the Living Dead Dawn of the Dead (original and remake) Day of the Dead Land of the Dead Return of the Living Dead The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original only) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre IIThe Hills Have Eyes (original) The Silence of the Lambs Critters Audition Ichii the Killer Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer House of 1,000 Corpses The Devil’s Rejects Calvaire Se7en Blue Velvet Requiem for a Dream Last House on the Left A Clockwork Orange The Fly Videodrome The Exorcist The Omen Angel Heart The Serpent and the Rainbow Needful Things In The Mouth of Madness Event Horizon Hellraiser I and II Psycho Halloween I, II Friday the 13th I, II, III Jason X Freddy vs Jason Haute Tension A Nightmare on Elm St. The Blob (remake) Jacob’s Ladder Dead Ringers Scanners Dead Alive Alien(s) American Psycho The Blair Witch Project Natural Born Killers Rosemary’s Baby Evil Dead I&II Army of Darkness Deliverance 28 Days Later Silent Hill Wolf Creek Machinist The Vanishing (french version) C.H.U.D. They Live
Of recent movies, definately The Grudge has been the one that freaked me out the most. I used to meditate incomplete darkness in the morning. I had to keep the lights on for the next three weeks after watching The Grudge.
Another one that scared the crap outta me was John Charpenter’s “Prince of Darkness”. Good over all spooky feeling with a couple of good shock moments.

Read the book, it’ll kill the fear. I saw ads for the show and didn’t actually see it until after I read the book. About the fourth or fifth time the author talks about the monstrous Kuklinski being stronger than a bear, heaving furniture around that took 5 men to move, and being as quiet and nimble as a cat, it all starts to sound like a fairy tale. Also, the multiple versions of different/same stories cheapens the whole thing.

Its been accepted that a lot of the shit he talked about or claimed he did was nothing but fluff and self promotion. I think he only has 4 murders linked to him. Far from the 100-200 he claimed.
He was great at marketing himself, I’ll give’em that.

My favorite is Dawn of the Dead. The first time I saw it, it stayed on my mind for the rest of the night. Now, I’ve seen it at least 10 times since then.[/quote]
I just saw the new one last night. That fucking thing crawled inside my skull and squirmed around for an hour or two. Horror movies usually don’t raise a thrill of fear in me when I’ve got to put the dogs out at the end of the night, but I found myself being a little more cautious about watching my back.
My buddy and I loved the first one as kids. We used to dig all the flicks about the end of the world, and the Night/Dawn/Day of the Dead flicks were favourites.
Based purely on style, though, my vote still goes to “the Uninvited” – an old WWII flick about a pair of siblings who buy an old manor house on the English coast. The dead folk have issues with it. Not scary, but a decent tale. It could use a remake, though what few special effects they used hold up surprisingly well to time.
One movie that I’m rather surpriced that hasn’t been mentioned (and isn’t really meant to be a horror movie) is Jurassic park, when I saw the first one in a movie it creeped me out because it was so realistic. A memorable scene is when the teenage girl and boy were hiding in the big kitchen and dinosaurs were walking in.
I can’t believe I am the only one here that got creeped out by jurassic park?

While seen by nearly everyone, I doubt most consider that a “scary movie”. Any movie promoted to kids first just doesn’t fall into that category. It was directed well and set a standard in special effects, but scary it wasn’t.
