Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Both House movies are great in there own way. I think the mVP is getting my vote though.
House of 1000 Corpses, one of my all-time favorite horror films.

House of Wax!
sk
The Descent hands down.

again, as in that other bracket. Cold Fish is the best film here, but it is not a horror film. The best horror film is Dark Waters (one of the rarest occasions when bears prefer the American version to the original)
don't know how to vote
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember being very hyped for Dark Water, considering the success of The Ring remake and the great cast they assembled for Dark Water, and I saw it in theatres and I just remember being totally underwhelmed by it. I liked it but it wasn't what I was expecting and I never watched it again. Recently though I read Ebert's review for it and it really made me want to re-watch it.
I had to vote Descent though. It's just one of the most intense rollercoaster rides of a movie because it slows along at a steady crawl and then WHAM it's insane for almost forty minutes. Great atmosphere as well, they really nestle you into the isolation and claustrophobia and wait just the right amount of time to pull the trigger. IMO it's one of the best examples out there for how to pace a horror movie.

bears were bored by Descent, and incredibly annoyed by its characters

And of course the trailers:
Very sad to see two of my favorites going head to head here, both of which appear to have little chance, The Mothman Prophecies (extremely creepy film) and Cold Fish. Don't know how I'll vote yet, either.
I believe it's much more of a horror film than From Dusk Till Dawn or Evil Dead 2, and those moved on to the second round here...Originally Posted by Jean

So what'll it be, Jean? Cold Fish? Dark Water? I'm having a tough time with this one myself.
I have voted Dark Waters. It's in an entirely different league than Cold Fish, but as far as horror films are concerned, I loved that one. I was really really scared (still am).

Paranormal Activity (and the sequels) bored me to tears. You spend the entire movie waiting for something to happen and then the only action is in the last 5 mins.
I saw Dark Water when it came out on DVD but remember very little of it.
So I guess I have to go with House of 1000 corpses.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
Went with Cold Fish after all. The Mothman Prophecies is great, but Cold Fish is better.
me too. I didn't even attempt to watch the sequels.

Shiiiiet, I didn't even bother to watch the original! lol
Let's get a little crazy.
The sequels were bad, but I thought the first was really good.

Paranormal Activity was awful. I could write pages on all the things that don't work in that movie. Blair Witch is a thousand times better.

Blair Witch was believable, the story was convincing and the acting was way better.

No love for the Mothman?
personally, I don't think it was a good film. I only watched it three or four days ago, and already forgot it completely.

I'm surprised that House of Wax is doing so well. When it comes to classic horror films that's one that you never really hear mentioned or talked about much.
