What about Frailty? I thought that movie was kind of messed up. It’s about a guy who believes he is killing demons for god.
I don’t know if its been mentioned yet but 28 days later is my favorite horror/zombie movie.

Is that the one with Jack Nicholson? I saw that when I was a freshman in college and it still scared the shit out of me. I couldn’t stand the scenes when the kid would be riding around by himself in the motel. The scariest part was when he was riding and that tennis ball rolled up out of no where. Creeeeeepy.
Yep, Kubrick’s, I believe. Why the fuck was he riding around that fucker by himself anyway? That’s just crazy. Even I knew that when I watched it, and I was his age!
I just watched The Mist, based on recommendations here, and was sorely disappointed. Not even slightly creepy.
I never wrote that it was “creepy”. In fact, I wrote that it doesn’t fit into the horror genre at all and should qualify as “suspense”.
Go back the Geek Thread if you doubt this.
I also wrote that it stuck more closely to the book than any other movie I have seen…period.
I was alluding to Masonator’s recommendation in this very thread; I did not see you mention The Mist here, and I haven’t been following the Geek thread. I also have no reason to doubt you, and fully believe it follows the book more closely than any other movie you have seen.
That said, I would agree it is a suspense movie. I thought the ‘other dimensions’ schtick was a bit bland, however. [/quote]
Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. I guess it just freaks me out a little because the setting is very realistic and so are people’s reactions.
has anyone mentioned the sixth sense?
I thought it was excellent, and no gore to speak of really.
The part where the girl comes into his tent freaked me out great at the movies. Loved it.
Frailty!!! I liked that movie!
I loved the ending.
I saw the one about the insane asylum clean up. That was freaky.
The Sixth Sense was good. I hadn’t guessed the ending.

The Bible Bitch was well done, at any rate. I liked her.

Amen…
Also, David Lynche’s Eraserhead is one FREAKY flick.
“Exorcist III” with George C Scott was pretty f’in creepy, I thought.
And another vote for “Jacob’s Ladder”… talk about a mindfuck.

I remember being in the movie theater and when she got killed everyone cheered. She was very well done.
I forgot who mentioned it but Prince of Darkness… I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the whole movie. The scariest thing about that movie is the “hopelessness” effect that it has. (which someone also mentioned earlier as being very scary in zombie movies)
I just watched Teeth and that scares the shit out of me that a woman would do things like that on purpose.
Even Horizon obviously awesome as everyone has said.
Besides that recent horror movies have been an utter disappointment.

Yep. And this freaks guys out, yet they seem to have no problem having their dicks between 2 jaws of teeth any other time. lol
I got creeped out by White Noise…probably because I dozed off intermittently and only woke up in the loud/scary parts.
Exorcism of Emily Rose definitely gave me the heeby jeebies.

Honestly, I thought it was more of a funny, satirical movie, than a scary movie.
I was being facetious when I said it was scary.

White Noise did creep me out. When they would play back the tapes with the voices on it, that was creepy.

My bad I don’t really find it SCARY… I found the three shots of dudes bleeding profusely with no shafts a little shocking much like BME pain olympics (i think that is the name of it). I just think it was a crazy concept that was well played. Much like that movie Ginger Snaps. Not scary by any means but interesting.

Rawhide Rex was really freaking crazy too.

It’s Rawhead Rex. It’s based on a short story by Clive Barker [who also wrote Candyman]. I haven’t seen the movie in over 10 years easy, but I remember it being good. I was also 12 or so when I saw it, so take that for what it’s worth. If you can find the short story, pick it up. He also put out a graphic novel. It’s a story that’ll make your skin crawl.
Session 7 was ok. David Carrusso is the lead. It’s really interesting to me to see what different people find scary. I personally thought the two Rob Zombie flicks, In the mouth of madness and High tension fucking sucked. In fact, I count High tension as one of the 5 worst movies I’ve ever seen. I thought the premise of Event Horizon was pretty good.

John Carpenter was the shit back in the day…
I vote his “Prince of Darkness” as one of the scariest movies ever made…[/quote]
Prince of Darkness was all sorts of messed up.
Poltergeist was also really good.
Japanese version of the Ring seemed like they gave too much of an explanation regarding the tape, and I cracked up at the Charlie Brown sound effect during that particular flashback. You’ll know it when you see it…
Oh yeah, the Mothman prophecies was pretty good.

IT scared the shit out of me as a kid(7ish?). I had nightmares for weeks. I have no idea if it’s actually a solid horror movie or not because I haven’t seen it since(bad memories).[/quote]
IT was really good the first time around. The book was also pretty good (and over 1000 pages). The scene with the photo album and the email scene from Copycat are the only two scenes that have thoroughly freaked me out.
