    Trilogy Of Terror !!

    That cracked me up !

    Oh, Carpenter's The Thing is seriously worth seeing. ( Hmmm.... not sure I ever considered it a Horror Movie, though ).

    The Fly. :meh: By today's standards, it's gooey but not exactly good. Mostly, it kind of turned my stomach more than scared me.
    The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...

    ...And The Gunslinger Followed.

    Ugh, need to see The Thing, saw a few clips of it, and it truly looks terrifying! I'm always fascinated by the kind of body horror that films like that can achieve so successfully, where a man slowly, VERY slowly, starts to change into something inhuman. It's why I think District 9 is shocking and in some places genuinely horrifying, and why I also want to watch David Cronenberg's The Fly. Idk, i think i've been drawn to it, to that kind of horror, ever since seeing a man's hand wrapped in green bubble wrap in Dr Who when i was just 8 years old!

    You most definitely need to check out The Thing. Apart from the perennial body horror that's rampant throughout, the films greatest strength is the exploration of themes like isolation and the not knowing of who to confide / trust in, and that lingering sense of paranoia that's ever present throughout the film. It is my favorite horror film.

    The best ones I've seen so far have been El Orfanato and The Others.
    i love asylum films and children (esp when they are singing **shivers**), anything slow and where the atmosphere and music as opposed to blood and guts. Dont get me wrong i love a good slasher movie, but they aren't scarey enough for me. I love hiding behind a cushion and then being too scared to go to bed alone

    The Thing is great! The original movie was less so. John Carpenter's was closer to the original novella/short story.

    A big part about Carpenter's Thing being so great ... Feev puts it perfectly - "the exploration of themes like isolation and the not knowing of who to confide / trust in, and that lingering sense of paranoia that's ever present throughout the film."

    ... it is that aspect that of the movie that completely backbones the entire film and makes it more than just a horror or sci-fi movie.

    Well I may as well add in some love for The Thing too . It really is a great film. I'd recommend checking it out.
    Was the original really bad? I've been wanting to see that one.

    It's not bad, it's just not as good. Certainly it doesn't seem as scary to our modern sensibilities.

    Ok, i'm aware i do need to see this film, and badly. Truth be told, i actually did try to watch it round a mate's once, but the video we were watching was OLD, and in bad condition, so much so that it was practically unwatchable, so in the end I just gave up on it. I'll pick it up cheap on dvd, somewhere.

    Now, I always enjoy a film like that - where paranoia and claustrophobia rise so much you start to feel the panic yourself, but I actually find that a lot of the best horror movies are like that, pam. Not all of them, and there a few films out there that can achieve this that may not be thought of as "horror", but i think these elements are so closely connected with the best horror movies (or even on tv with shows like "The X Files", Ice is easily one of my favourites from Season One because it achieves all of this), that these days is easy to think of a film which has those elements as "horror", anyway.

    Again, it's another reason why I quite liked the Children - the building mistrust between two families is fantastic! (Although, it is set at xmas, so nothing unusual there.)

    who wants to make a list of scariest movies ever? (if possible, specify some keywords so people/animals who don't know the movie would have an idea of what type it is)

    The scariest, not the best; it doesn't have to be the same.

I find the more modern stuff like Saw too disturbing - I haven't watched any of them, the closest I've gotten to that kinda torture horror is Wolf Creek which was too freaky.

    I like horror to be over the top or fantastical.

    I'm afraid I'm exactly the same, Dt. I like a good horror film, but only if it doesn't go past my realistic gore limit. OTT gore, such as Planet Terror, that I can handle because it's less of a horror and more of a comedy, but I just can't watch torture films. With the exception of some of the Saw films: it's weird, but the puzzle-like nature of the traps tones it down for me. Films like Hostel, on the other hand, where the torture is done by other people...yeah, that kinda stuff just shreads my nerves a little too much. Still, I love a bit of gore if there's some imagination behind it.

    And Alien is always a classic. Especially the scene with John Hurt: not only one of the most memorable scenes in scifi horror history, but it has also been used by men all around the world to explain to their wives that they DO know how painful going into labour can be!

    I know what you're saying with the gore - I watched Evil Dead 2 and was fine with that, because it was OTT and funny. Again, like you, Hostel is not something that appeals to me at all. Even the acted terror of the characters just makes it too uncomfortable for me.

    Not a film I've watched, but what was it about Event Horizon that terrified people so much? Even hardened horror buffs I know say that was too much for them.

    You know, I'm not sure. I saw it a long time ago, and I was ok with it myself. It creeped me out, sure, but I've seen scarier. It's just basically a haunted house movie in space, with some light dashings of Hellraiser in. There really wasn't that much that I found truly original with the film, tbh.

    Now speaking of Hellraiser: watched that once, and...fuck. I mean, fuck! It's probably one of the most fucked up films I've ever seen! It's sick, it's nasty, and it nearly made me throw up. Of course, another British classic!

    I am totally in love with any kind of horror movies except teen slasher movies like My Bloody Valentine.

    Asian horror movies are on top of my list. Some of them has a romantic/dramatic point of view, about death, villains, monsters.
    Besides, I love surreal, absurd, bizarre images and storylines in a movie.



    Vampire movies!



    I also like torture movies. Ichi the Killer...

    Oh, Ichi the Killer! Another film that I've seen, despite my high aversion to gore, only at the constant insistence of my best mate, of course!

    Having said that, during the one scene my mate said he could NEVER watch, I of course decided to watch it. Just because I'm weird like that. And the fact that my best mate and I are constant arch enemies and will do anything to prove that oneself is better than the other bastard!

    Spoiler:
    It was the tongue slicing off scene. Yowch!
    Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

    I'm not sure I'd quality Ichi as a full fledged horror film, but it is very damn gory / unnerving to be sure ! The part that got to me the most was :

    Spoiler:
    When that Yakuza boss is hanging from the hooks and Kakihara pours the boiling water over him !

    Ichi the Killer is great, the most fucked up movie I'd seen until I watched Antichrist...but have you seen other films by Ichi's director, Takashi Miike? That guy is so twisted, two of his movies I'd recommend to this thread are Gozu, and Imprint. Imprint was one of the Masters of Horror episodes, has anyone seen that series from Showtime? Definitely some good ones from that (Pelts, Pro-Life, Dreams in the Witch House).

    It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
    A whole lot more than riches and muscle.

    I totally agree with this it scared the shit out of me. I was only a kid when I saw it and i STILL have nightmares about it.

    I like more supernatural horror like The Ring and The Grudge despite scating the shit out of me.

    The most recent thing I have seen which spooked me loads was Evil Dead 1 - the whole bit with that laughing possessed girl was intense.

    My other half bought me a hammer horror collection for Xmas and The Nanny is a cracking film - it is scary in a non gory kind of way. The power play between the nanny and the kid in it is really spooky!!
