Horror movie enthusiasts.. UNITE!

[CuriousAndy]

I love scary movies.. The chill running down my spine.. the goosebumps... I LOVE IT!

Unfortunately there are very few titles that are genuinely scary and manage to get me.

Let me list some utter crap first that are supposed to be a "horror" movie

Blair Witch 2
I Know What You Did series
Scream series
Event Horizon
Jeepers Creepers

They are the good examples of what's not scary.. they're rather funny at times. I believe a good horror movie emphasizes on element of surprise and suspense Here are some few which I liked:

Blair Witch 1: I have to say it was pretty innovative. The myterious theme and the progressive build up (tent every nite.. hearing noises closer and closer) were very well done.
What Lies Beneath: I really needed this movie.. before this and after BW1, there were utter crap like Scream 3 and so on.. This movie was just downright thrilling..
Abyss: I watched this as kid.. I was about 9? And this movie got me scared.. I guess the whole idea of undiscovered deep sea and aliens got me.. I don't think it'd be scary at all if I watch it now (and the movie's intention isn't either)

unfortunately, I do not know any horror movies.. and I'm just eager to see some great horror flicks.. Based on this judgement, what horror movies would you recommend????

Jaws, I swore I never go swimming at any beach after that, I still don't.

 

[TheOmegaCode]

serious, you think those movies are scary? I guess it just comes from my fvcked up grandparents having me watch Faces of Death with them when I was little.

 

[ggavinmoss]

Did John Carpenter ever make a good movie?

Anyway, I liked Nightmare on Elm Street 2-4 and Hellraiser 1-2.

i guess u had to see it when it came out. now with all the documentary footage of how these sharks really attack some of the scenes look really silly i think great whites shoot up from below and pretty much knock you out of the water while taking a nice bite, not pull you back and forth over and over hehe. still entertaining.

The Evil Dead Series
Dead Alive
Ok so not really scary but damn they are funny

What was your problem with Event Horizon? I really liked it.

Pitch Black is another recent horror/space movie I liked. The plot sucked but it was entertaining.

The secret to watching a horror movie is to be young. When I was <8, the simplest scenes would boggle my mind and give me nightmares. Now that I'm 35 the most I can hope for is to be suddenly startled once every other "horror" movie.

Fear... I like horror, but it doesn't really scare me.

- Hellraiser: Rox, but I'm laughing more than I'm being scared.
- Jaws: I don't see it as horror, bit boring and I'm not afraid of sharks.
- Blair Witch: Yawn.
- Scream: Humor.
- The Abyss: Exciting, fun to watch.
- Children of the Corn: Very rocking, a must-see.
- Neon Maniacs: Great fun.
- Evil Dead series: Need I say more?

Disgusted by some movies yes, scared no.
