Recommend to me some scary films

[Vohn_exel]

Seen Paranormal Activity, liked the film, but felt that there were parts that could have been made a little better, still, it was far better then a lot of other films I've seen...such as Paranormal Entity (what a rip off!) and Paranormal Activity 2 which relied too much on loud noises to scare and obvious horror cliches, I prefer my horrors subtle, where you activly look for the ghosts or what not, rather than them popping up and going ABOOGALLABOOGALLA!!!!! And slamming some doors and shit -_- thats not scary, if I ever encountered a ghost that did that in real life, I would feel like punching it rather then running in fear.

[REC] Was a movie I wasn't expectig much from but turned out to be pretty darn amazing Didn't scare me, but it was definatly one I recommend to people who don't ***** about subtitles. [REC]2 got lost a little, it was still good, just lost its way.

Descent was an awesome movie as well, but like REC2, Descent 2 got a little lost

REC is actually Italian or something like that. VERY awesome, and I have to say that I did like the remake as it was pretty faithful to the original. I want to see REC 2, but I haven't got around to it yet.

Spanish, actually.
[REC]2 is held in lower regard, though I haven't seen it & can't judge.

Yeah REC was very entertaining. It didn't scare me (well, the part where the Fireman fell made me jump) but it was just entertaining and thats important to me. I read the premise of REC 2 and how it takes place like five seconds after the first movie ended. That kind of made it lower on my "must see" list.

My favorite part of PA was (spoilers!) either the creepy staring for 5 hours, the "Everything's ok now" part (because there was a woman in my audience of African American decent that said "Oh, she not blinkin." And we all knew it but it was cool nonethless) and the part where she's drug out of bed.

"Bear" was a pretty retarded movie, apparently a bear wanted revenge on humans for killing it's wife / partner / mate.

All the Jason / Freddy / Halloween movies are good for a giggle, and that's about it.

Deep Rising was an awesome movie, one of my all time favourite action horrors

The Unborn freaked me out like nobody's business

But God-damn if [REC] isn't the most terrifying movie ever.

REC is of Spanish origin sorry, got it on DVD

Thanks but I'm afraid a ninja has beaten you

Hm, pokemon the movie was quite terrifying :O I couldn't believe how many little kids my age at the time started crying when Mewtwo was being mean to the othe pokemans. Sad really.

Anywho, back on topic, seen amityville, seen haunting in cinneticut.

"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything"

Man, that shit was TERRIFYING

I don't generally like most horror movies for the same reasons that have already been stated--so many of them rely on cheap scares or buckets of gore rather than the deeper "thinky" stuff. That said, here are some scary movies that I enjoyed:

1408. Much better than I was expecting. Lots of very creepy psychological mind-fuckery. Good stuff.

The Shining. Yeah, I know, everybody's seen it by now, but I just watched it for the first time this past Halloween, and it thoroughly terrified me. May as well mention it. XD

If you like Silent Hill, then I would say you owe it to yourself to watch some of the movies that inspired the games (if you haven't already): Session 9 and Jacob's Ladder. Session 9 was scarier, I thought, but Jacob's Ladder had a very raw, painful emotional edge to it. Both worth a look.

 

[Arsen]

Poughkeepsie Tapes
Exorcist III
REC
Mulholland Drive

 

[Rylot]

Japanese film by the name of Reincarnation I think. About an actress who gets a job in a horror film about a real life serial killer when the actors start dying in the same ways as the people they're playing... It's way better than that made it sound.

 

[pulse2]

Has anyone seen the paranoia films, made up of a collection of small horror / thriller stories. They definitely had some good scenes.

Lol, these are great, and soooo derivative.
We got people shouting out for the shock horror.
We got people who think international cinema instantly means awesome (Rec was a Blair Witch with zombies, and just as boring)

True horror is so hard to come by because it is triggered uniquely by each of us. The only universal horror is the fight or flight horror of the jump scare, and it's so brief most people write it off as cheap.

Personally, still to this day Kaa's eyes in The Jungle Book make me near pee myself. The best part is, I have no idea why. I can't even think of a moment in my drear and dull life that would have ingrained hypnotic swirls into fearful sections of my subconscious.

Though I wouldn't call it 'scary', Shutter Island's pace and editing techniques had me gripping my seat as Scorsese tried something new with horror, building suspense, but never releasing it.

What people don't seem to understand is that the jump scare is actually a release. You build it up, and the BOO! the tension is gone, like a good orgasm but if you let it build and build and never let up (check out the tea lady scene in Shutter Island) you get the audience really uncomfortable and let them stay that way.

So... movies that freaked the shit out of me that I've watched recently (that doesn't mean the movies are recent)
Jacob's Ladder
Altered States
The closing scene of "Let the Right One In"
The Ring (first one, and surprisingly, the American one)
oh, and the end of The Crying Game

oh and whatever you do DO NOT watch The Human Centipede.
It's not scary, it's not edgy, it's not fun, its sick, just sick, with no emotional edge or reason.

Lastly, I actually found Mark Wahlberg really scary in "Fear". Probably because of how realistic the situation in the movie was.

 

[Koroviev]

I think The Orphanage is an interesting horror film.

 

[tawmus]

Deathwatch, WWI british soldiers get stuck in a haunted trench. Pretty good flick, sorta scary.

 

[Hanzo Hattori]

Damn double post! sorry

 

[Hanzo Hattori]

...stuffstuff... "The Human Centipede"... stuffstuff...

Lol the trailer of "The Human Centipede" looks hilarious.

 

[TheTim]

well, the "fourth kind" scared the living shit out of me, but if that doesn't do it for ya the try "Fire in the Sky" i almost cried during that one, and i watched it with my gf.

Damn those sneaky hiding bastards! (Jokes, they might be hidden in my pocket AS WE SPEAK)

 

[DeadFOAM]

Another Horror buff here.

[REC] will make you soil yourself. Pulse, The Eye & A Tale of Two Sisters are also good. The original Japanese films, not the American remakes.

But God-damn if [REC] isn't the most terrifying movie ever.

Really? I saw [REC] and laughed my rear end off.

OT: Session 9 was fairly creepy.

 

[UltraDeth]

"John Carpenter's" The Thing. The monster is quite grotesque to look at

 

[dudycat1]

try the first blair whitch project film ,scary shit.
