The Ever So Scary Horror Film Thread. - Page 5

acousticrock87 · 06.19.2008, 11:02 AM

I just have to say that, in particular, I hate the Shining and Poltergeist. They both bored me to tears. I'm rather picky about horror movies, but even so, I don't quite get them. They're just full of non-events moving to one extremely obvious conclusion.

There was a Japanese horror movie that came our recently that was fucking terrifying, but I can't remember the name of it. It started with a R. I'll think of it as soon as I hit post.

EDIT: It's called Retribution (Sakebi in Japanese). I highly recommend it. It puts the mainstream Japanese horror to shame.

Also,

If you watch this in the right setting, you'll never be able to sleep. It's Called "Rabbits", an old David Lynch experiment. It was recently spliced into his "Inland Empire", which also has some horribly scary scenes despite not being a horror movie.

This was corny more than scary, but...

This was pretty good, though...

Psychomania is on BBC4 tonight at 10.35 as part of their B-movies season.

Oh yeah, this particularly made me shit myself:

I watched that, aha, what a piece of shit! The 70s was so weak.

demonrail666 · 06.21.2008, 07:31 PM

Yeah, at the end of the day, Psychomania is good fun for about twenty minutes, but is ultimately quite boring really. I'm really getting into those BBC adaptations from the 70s at the moment. Charles Dickens' 'The Signalman' and M.R. James' 'A Warning to the Curious' and 'Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad' are three of the scariest things I've ever seen. You can get them on DVD from amazon and they're well worth the price, I promise you. Eerie in the extreme!

The Signalman

A Warning to the Curious.

Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad

I got hammered and watched Dead Alive last night. Good times.

atsonicpark · 06.22.2008, 06:48 AM

Dead Alive is the best gore film ever. If you like that, try premutos: lord of the living dead.

Everyneurotic, ichi the killer is a fucked-up yakuza film with some gore. It's pretty funny but it's a bit too long (as most Miike films are)...

Bertrand · 06.24.2008, 05:38 AM

Anyone saw any Amando de Ossorio films?
Undead blind Knight Templars on dead horses, in slow motion, moving to kill a few tourists visiting ruins in a Portugese landscape?
Quite poetic.

Have you ever seen And Soon The Darkness? It was a British 'made for TV' film from the 70s. It's really good, genuinely creepy.

demonrail666 · 06.24.2008, 09:23 AM

I've not seen that one, but notice it's been put on DVD. Definitely one for my shopping list. Some of the old Tales of the Unexpected are really eerie too. A lot of them are just guff, but every now and then I'll watch one and I'm like, whoa, that's amazing. TV horror was where it was at in Britain in the 70s.

MellySingsDoom · 06.24.2008, 09:30 AM

demonrail - have you seen "The Stone Tape"? That was pretty good, from what I remember. And from horror to horrifying, you can't beat Peter Watkin's "The War Game" - pure 60's Cold War paranoia terror. I've just lent someone at work this small gem from the Pete Walker stable:

demonrail666 · 06.24.2008, 09:46 AM

The Stone Tape is absolutely brilliant. I can lend you the DVD if you haven't seen it in a while.

House of Whipcord is easily my fave Walker film. Can imagine Throbbing Gristle doing a soundtrack to it. One of the grimmest films ever made in Britain.

Have you seen Peter Watkins Culloden? Also great. And, if you haven't already, you really must see Punishment Park. An absolutely amazing film.

demonrail666 · 06.24.2008, 09:50 AM

Kids TV in the seventies was packed with horror, and often quite dark. Some of those old Childrens' Film foundation ones were absolutely bloody terrifying.

More of these, please. Apart from that, I just bought Taste Of Fear (1961) and Night Of The Living Dead (1968). Has anybody watched Freaks (1932) by Tod Browning?

Suggestions, please
