Scary Movies


Quote  |  Reply
What are some of your favorite good GOOD scary movies??  Old, New, whatever.  I will start out by saying The Exorcist is a scary one, to me anyways.  I love them, always have but there just arent many good ones anymore.

If you like Horror, screw the american ones and go for the asian movies - I liked A Tale Of Two Sisters (korean) or did you ever saw the original Ring movies?
Anything with Jessica Simpson in it.
no i havent but i have always heard  that foreign films were the best though.  Maybe i will try some out.  Can you rent them at "neighborhood"movie stores?

I saw "I am Legend" last weekend. It was good, but not as scary as it was jumpy!

Ugh, all the Asian horror movies seem to be ghost/spirit movies... so I can honestly say I'm not interested. That's not scary to me.

I agree with whoever mentioned Feast, I jumped a few times AND the dialogue is funny.

Evil Dead was the first movie to ever scare me.

For pure 80's awesomeness Sleepaway Camp I, II, and III or the entire Friday the 13th series.

Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price is the best adaptation of the book, I think. But then again I hate Will Smith!

 Well, not ALL asian movies are about ghosts ;) but true alot are (cause asians [general] believe in that stuff) but well I'm a fan of little scary girl in white sleeping gowns and longblack hair that makes them look psycho OK! Wink

Asian Horror can also be pretty bloody & twisted -  Suicide Club is a pretty eird/cool asian one - not very ghosty at all.

 

Lissasue - since you live in the US, I have no clue if you can rent these movies at normal movie stores :] In germany you can under the 'foreign movies' or 'horror movies' category. 

I'm a horror movie nut. My personal favorite is the original "A Nightmare on Elm Street"...the only movie to give me nightmares.
Audition is a pretty good Japanese horror.  It's not scary but it'll make you feel uneasy and a little confused for sure.  Suicide Club and Visitor Q are pretty cool too.

I hate Will Smith too and I have a major crush on the late Mr. Price so I'm biased but I feel Last Man on Earth is the best adaptation too (unless you're counting Night of the Living Dead, then that wins but I don't count it).

It really depends what kind of horror you're into.  If you're looking for "suspense horror" check out some classic Hitchcock.  If you have never seen Psycho put that at the top of your list.  Rear Window is wicked too.

If you like the possessed by the devil, religion, satan is coming sort of thing The Omen is good.  The remake wasn't all that bad either.

If you're looking for movies that will actually scare you and make you feel funny for awhile I'd say leave the horror genre and look for a David Lynch movie (except Dune or Straight Story though I love Straight Story).  Eraserhead will make you very unsure of yourself for quite some time.  Also Harmony Korine made some messed up movies that will surely freak you out if you can make it through.  Gummo seems the most readily available.

I just saw "El Orfanato" ("The Orphanage") last night.  Wasn't too horribly scary at the time (except for a few parts), but it definitely stuck with me when I tried to go to sleep.

Also, "Cloverfield" wasn't bad.   Very original.
Hostel 1 and 2. They were so gruesome and just the thought of being tortured like that makes me cringe. I love vampire movies too.
i was soooo scared of chucky when i was younger! AHH!
I LOVED The Orphanage!!! It was scarier then i thought it was gonna be, but very, very, very, very, good!!! (Did I mention I really liked it) But if you dont like reading in a movie don't go bc it is in Spanish. But seriously, it was incredible!!! 

oh, and Identity is AWESOME!!!!
The Saw Trilogy and La Turista

Have you seen "Julien Donkey Boy"? I still try and explain how strange that movie is to people when they bring up Gummo.
Yeah, I saw Julien before Gummo!  The way I explain Julien Donkey Boy is "it's either the best or worst film ever made, and I can't decide which."

I watched it after taking a bunch of bong rips and ended up getting way into it. I agree I still can't decide if it's brilliant or horrible.

BUT

The brother that wrestles the trash cans = awesome.

One of my ex boyfriends had that book Harmony Korine put out with people's suicide notes and other random stuff. I always wanted to read it but still haven't picked it up.
