[blodhi74]

I was going through my movie library and found " event horizon " .... IMHO best sci-fi/horror movie of all times
thoughts ?

If by best you mean 'scared the ever-loving bejezzus out of me' then yes, Event Horizon would win.

pretty darn close. Although the original "alien" is a classic.

couldn't think of a better one.

the knock off "sphere" was pretty decent. As was "prince of darkness" and there is still this one from the late 70s/early 80s that I cannot think of. Something about a deep cave hidden in a castle that a girl let's evil escape and he slowly builds strength.

there was this movie that came out in 89 or early ninties that had Samuel L. Jackson in it. it wasnt so much horror as it was sci fi.

it was about a alien craft that crashes in water or something -- cant remember the exact details. althought it might not be the best scifi-horror movie ever, its pretty nice

i totally forgot the name ... hehe

edit: nevermind

its Sphere and it came out in 98 *i was a bit off but its a good movie to see*

are you people smoking crack? sphere was not scary! (and i read the book as well). any movie where the "monster" turns out to be all in your imagination or your worst fear is not scary. this is the equivalent of "it was all a dream..." which is pure cheese.

OKAY... Sphere the book (Michael Crichton) was written in 1988.
Event Horizon came out in 1997.

That doesn't mean the MOVIE wasn't scary, just that the ending was a complete let down.

IMHO, that was a good movie handicapped by tying itself too closely to a mediocre book.

i disagree. i think it was a better book than a movie. Things like "it was your imagination" play in a book. But when people pay $8 they expect more. This is why Stephen King writes great books, but few movies have lived up to them.

(editing down to just monster/horror)

Some good films, I don't usually bother trying to proclaim one "teh bestest":

Forbidden Planet
Omega Man
Alien, Aliens
Terminator, T2
The Thing (John Carpenter remake)
Phantasm
Pitch Black (as cerebusPu suggested)

 

[cerebusPu]

i liked the first riddick movie. pitch black. awesome movie

 

[Wag]

Nothing has ever come close to Alien.

 

[whistleclient]

i'm not sure if The Shining counts as a horror or more of a thriller, but that movie freaked me out.

Actually, to clarify, it didn't freak me out until i saw it on the big screen with a THX sound system. the sound in that movie (big wheel on marble then carpet then marble) adds a lot to the scariness.

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

loved the orginal The Thing (from another world)

 

[spidey07]

I actually really enjoyed "dreamcatcher"

You're thinking of "The Keep", which wasn't that bad for its time.

 

[GrassR00t]

Irreversible (<--link may not be SFW) is a disturbing movie
