Do you like scary movies?
 
?ry?

Alex's Trip 08.26.2006 02:19 PM

I don't like scary movies...

Whatever you do stay the hell away from Saw.

I recommend Silent Hill (with some friends) if you want a good laugh.

m^a(t)h 08.26.2006 02:36 PM

im probably going to rent silent hill tonight, ive played all the games i pretty much have too.

28 days later is easy to find and one of my favorites. the ring is good if you havent already seen it.
The wicker man is good, very different from your average horror film.
check out jacob's ladder too, very good film.

there are some old classics that are hard to find but are awesome:

last man on earth
messiah of evil
night of the living dead

Toilet & Bowels 08.26.2006 04:49 PM

the exorcist and texas chainsaw masscre (the original version, of course) are pretty much the two best horror films ever made

i LOVE Saw. one of my favourite "horror" (more of a suspense or something.. not too horror-y) movies. I'm not too into many horror movies, except the old cheesy black and white ones. "Zombie" is fantastic.

*Zombie isn't black and white...

Scary movies don't always have to be horror.
Some thrillers do the job too. Arlington Road, Frailty.

david lynch unsettles me. lost highway mostly.
eraserhead is quite literaly a horror film, the most horrific film i ever saw. not scary, just horrific.
when the japanese horrors started they seemed promising, but now they all seem the same. ring was good, ju-on was better but the same kind of thing.
if anyone can recommend a really scary film, please do. id love to be scared by a film but it just doesnt seem possible. fear is one big rush. i want it. i cant find it in films.
i want to go to so called haunted houses and try to get scared.
im very interested in deserted buildings in the middle of nowhere, places destroyed and long forgotten. i used to go and i used to get scared like hell.
http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/
this is the kind of place im into, but i need an acomplice, i cant find one. these japanese guys and gals all believe in ghosts and are too scared to come. id be far too scared to go to these places alone.

this is the koolest place on earth
hashima island.
http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/ha...ashima001.html
a city, on an island off nagasaki in japan. it used to be the most densley populated place on earth, a coal mining community. it had everything you would expect in a large town or city:schools, cinema, hospital. but everybody left there in the early 70's and now its completely abandoned.
its been battered by typhoons and is in ruins. it was used for filming battle royal two.
its very difficult to get to, and illegal.
im determined to get there.
wish me luck.

porkmarras 08.26.2006 05:09 PM

Saw(at least the first one)is an excellent movie.What's with all this Saw bashing then?

Good good point.David Lynch deals with inner anxiety like no other.Rep for you wax.

acousticrock87 08.26.2006 05:30 PM

I like scary movies. I more admired Saw than liked it, since it had me pondering what I would do in those situations and feeling uneasy for about a week after I saw it. But it was a really good movie.

I usually find horror video games scarier, so for my horror fix I generally turn to those.

The second one i re-watched recently and yes,they made it look a bit hollywood and hero-like.Never a good thing.

TheDom 08.26.2006 06:22 PM

check out

Manos: The Hands Of Fate
The Final Sacrifice
Hobgoblins

Toilet & Bowels 08.26.2006 06:25 PM

i didn't enjoy saw at all i'm not really into that harsh realistic style of horror

porkmarras 08.26.2006 06:29 PM

Well..

Missed this post but,yes,they are possibly the two horror movies that never fail to scare me.The way the sound is used in texas chainsaw massacre reminds me of the asian use of sound in movies and soap operas.So over the top,it's scary.Another one would have to be Deep Red(or Profondo Rosso for italian speakers)

Cantankerous 08.26.2006 06:34 PM

they don't scare me. nothing really scares me outright.

Toilet & Bowels 08.26.2006 06:50 PM

i watched profindo rosso last summer but i couldn't concentrate because i watched it with two girls who wouldn't shut up.


(actually, that's another thing for the "do you have a type?" thread)

for grossness and gore i prefer things like ichi the killer, braindead or bad taste.

porkmarras 08.26.2006 06:56 PM

The only commentary i allow people while watching movies is when they paraphrase everything in a witty way.I've learned to love the series 'Bad Girls' that way.

Alex's Trip 08.26.2006 07:26 PM

I didn't think the first saw was that bad, but then I saw the second one and I just hated all of it...

jon boy 08.26.2006 08:44 PM

the exorcist is in no way a horror film, nor is it scary or very interesting. its been blown out of all proportion by the media, mark kermode and cunts of that nature.

TheDom 08.26.2006 08:46 PM

Eraserhead is not horror at all.

Landry 08.26.2006 09:45 PM

Mulholland Dr. and Blue Velvet aren't either.

The Changeling is a classic though. I'd forgotten about that one.

static-harmony 08.26.2006 09:55 PM

If you want to laugh at a good horror movies, just watch all the chucky's movies, they are outright funny.

acousticrock87 08.26.2006 10:06 PM

Seed of Chucky is the only movie I've ever chosen to walk out of in theatres. I've never cared to watch any of them, and I don't know if that one was worse than the others (as I've heard it was), but I couldn't stand it. It's totally cool for the people that enjoy it and all - far be it from me to play down anyone's enjoyment - and I do realize that it's supposed to be cheesy/funny and not scary, but for my taste it was the worst half of a movie I've ever seen.

well on behalf of that natured cunts i'll give you a bloody good hiding if i ever meet you jonboy.

Cantankerous 08.27.2006 12:46 AM

ooooh the shining. how could i forget. what a classic.

wax 08.27.2006 12:47 AM

depends what you class as a horror flick.
if you class teenage girls getting chased by a mad axeman in some awful american film, or some cheesey ghost film as horror then lynch probly aint horror. but if you are counting the actual feeling of the film, alot of lynch is far more literal horror than any of that crap.
eraserheard is horror. in fact its the only film i can associate with that word.

Cantankerous 08.27.2006 12:54 AM

i saw the shining the first time when i was like seven and it scared the shit out of me.

acousticrock87 08.27.2006 01:20 AM

I didn't really like the Shining as a horror movie. It was a good stylish film with a great plot, but I think I had unreasonably high expectations in the "scary" category. I even wanted to prove some people wrong who had told me it wasn't scary because I assumed they were just acting tough. Oh well.

Though obviously at 7 it would be scary as hell. But since I just saw it this year it wasn't quite the same experience.

acousticrock87 08.27.2006 01:28 AM

Evil Dead is amazing. 2 was also, but for other reasons.

I keep hearing bad things about the Blair Witch, but I think it looks good. Especially considering the circumstances it came out under. I keep putting off seeing it because the price of buying it is the same as renting it, and I'm not sure which to do. I don't want to waste money renting it and then have to buy it if I like it, or buy it and then end up stuck with a crappy movie...

Then the only soulution for you is to steal it.

Hey, yeah. Then I can just sneak it back if I don't like it. Nice.
