Movies that scare you as an adult
 

Horror, Psychological what have you. We all talk about the movies that scared us when we were kids but what movies actually bug you as an adult?

For me the worst one would probably be Mulholland Drive. I actually still have a difficult time sitting through that movie to this day because it bothers me so badly. It's terrifying. Alien still scares me in some parts, primarily the part where they leave the ship to board the alien ship. Oh and I know it's lame but that movie " The Witches " with Angelica Houston. I literally can't watch that movie because it traumatized me sooo badly as a child. Only the first half of the movie though where the grandmother is telling the boy about real witches and the little Swedish girl who was killed by them, and then she appears inside the painting. Still can't watch that to this day.

The Exorcist (saw it first at probably 13)
Pee-wee's Big Adventure

The most terrifying and bizarre film I've ever seen is definitely Visions of Suffering.

That's pretty much it. Some Lynch films have made me feel uneasy, same goes for Cronenberg. But if you want to see something truely fucked up, I highly reccomend Visions of Suffering (though trust me, it's not a really a "reccomendation", if that makes sense).

Parts of Begotten were terrifying as well, specifically the rape scene.

That's all I can think of.

yes lynchs lost highways is the movie that scares me the most. when I saw it first I remmeber almost exploding in the first half where the situation with the camera-inside-their-house scene got its peak.

scariest film i have seen is the woman in black which was truly teryfying and still send shivers down my spine now.

I have a few videos of eye surgery. I can't watch them for too long. But that's a different thing again, right?

I will NOT watch the Deer Hunter again. I'm not sure if it really scares me but it certainly makes me sick to my stomach.

anything involving sharks or deep water scares the shit out of me.

I pretty much jump at most of those shock moments in films. More startling than actually scary. And very annoying/cheap directing.

I remember a thread like this a while back.

As a horror fan, it sadly gets harder and harder to get that fix as you get older. Though I did watch Jacob's Ladder for the first time in a few years the other night, and I was pleased that it still gave me that very basic feeling of dread that it originally had.

yeh nothing is scary anymore

the movie Paranormal activity looked like it was was going to be genuinely scary

but because of who bought it, they are remaking it and not letting us see the original

yeah, some porn actually scares the shit outta me, thats for sure.

What kind of porn are you watching?

gay midget porn, of course!

Mulholland Drive, with that look behind the wall. I almost fallen down with my chair when I saw that for the first time in late night. wooo.

eyes wide shut. fucking with the megarich = spooky.

ichi the killer is pretty gross.

I figured someone would say salo.

HELLRAISER is one my favorite films ever. Still scares me.

the last I watched is Hostel.
Not as good as I was expecting (except the hot girls...)

both hostels are awful. amongst the worst.

Man, I remember that part. That seriously was some scary, although pointless, shit.

Pointless? That was one of the most important parts of the movie...

Audition - it'll touch a nerve with anyone that's ever been on a blind date.

completely disagree with you, friend.

I agree with you here, though. And I think that scene is probably one of the scariest things I've ever seen in a film. I mean I quite literally jumped out of my seat the first time I saw that.

I generally avoid disturbing movies.
I've read something about the two movies Adam stated (Visions of Suffering and Begotten) and I honestly never ever want to watch that shit.
Why would one want to watch something that'd cause him/her a trauma anyway?
I have enough of my own nightmares, thank you.

they're beautiful films though...

scary movies still really scare me. maybe it's because i've grown up without any tv around, or because i easily get scared in general (as in the shock effect, or feeling uneasy)

i remember not wanting to watch sleeping beauty because there was a dragon in it.

THE STRANGERS comes out on DVD tomorrow. Looks really frightening.

erm...Adam, I remeber reading about two movies that might strike your interest, both truly fucked up. One of them was called Necromancer (you might guess what this one could be about) and the other one had a neat name I Piss on Your Grave.

god yes i forgot about that, or rather i tried to block it out. thankks for reminding me now i have to go change my sheets.

Necromancer? Any relation to Necromantic?

I've heard of I'LL PISS ON YOUR GRAVE but have never been able to find it!!

Sorry dude, it's called Nekromantik.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093608/

Oh, I've seen Necromantik 1 and 2. And that dude's other film DER TODESKING, which actually is genuinely scary.

Sorry, Nekromantik.

well surely David Lynch flicks scare the crap out of me too.

George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD and DAY OF THE DEAD, for their social commentary.

John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS and THE THING.

David Cronenberg's THE DEAD ZONE and VIDEODROME.

...there's one specific movie I just saw one time that I never want to see again if possible which is REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, that really makes me feel uneasy.

Haha. Requiem for a Dream is such a shitty movie. I think that's the only film where I hate EVERY SINGLE actor in it. The directing is also terrible.

somewhere there you probably forgot to add "being buried alive".

yeah. i figure i could always break out of a clinic (the security is shit). but live burials... aghhhh...
