Can anyone recommend a GOOD horror film? (srs) (reps)

[fitlover]

I haven't seen anything that has been that scary or disturbing.

The Ring wasn't scary. Neither was The Exorcist. Or any of those lame horror series. Watched Paranormal Activity and almost fell asleep.

Watched Insidious last night (which people RAVED about being "scariest movie I've ever seen") and it was full of cheap shocks and cliche themes. The cloven-hoofed-darth-maul-looking-demon was dumb as rocks toward the end of the movie. I was severely disappointed. The ending was even worse than I had hoped.

So that being said, has anyone seen any legitimately GOOD thrillers/horror films?

You didn't think The Exorcist was scary even though it was based on a true story.
That is probably the scariest movie I've ever seen so I probably can't answer

My gf like Chainsaw Massacre....not really that scarey though
You're a tough broad.... hahah

[Alexio1992]

Halloween (Original) althogh great it's not that scary.

The Fourth Kind







pretty sick shiiit

[CasinoApe]

paranormal activity is sh!te, its basically 2 hours of doors opening and closing by themselves.

[ShadyKayBB]

Korean versions of:

The Ring

The Grudge

Much scarier than their American counterparts.

IMO, most of the good ones are from the 80s. The only horror movie I couldn't watch from beginning to end was Salem's Lot.

[mmtj]

Scary? Mh, Ju-On, A Tale of two sisters, The Others, The Descents (combines both scary+gore elements)

[CoreySky]

watch paranormal activity again, but without having a man laying next to you, and with the light of, and naked

[turbotoast]

Insidious. Not crazy scary, but a really good horror movie.

That monster wasnt very scary.....can say the fat kid is a little disturbing. I love baseball though

[harpy20]

Cannibal Holocaust

I didn't find this movie scary, just fascinating.

[Thinny]

Please watch a little known Japanese movie called "Noroi: The Curse". It's a found footage/faux-documentary style horror movie done in 2005. It's not a movie filled with "BOO!" type scares but a slow and gradual disturbing horror. You're gonna have to torrent it but trust me, it's well worth it. You have my word. I've seen em all (Martyrs, Inside, A Serbian Film, etc) and it's the only movie to genuinely fill me me with fear in a long long time. If you watch it and not like it, neg me for life.

Watch alone, in the dark, loud, etc. all those horror movie watching condition prerequisites.

The original Japanese Ring was scary.

What version did you watch?

Maybe that original release?

See "The Exorcist (The Version You've Never Seen)", it's director's cut.

Alternatively, just look at the mirror or watch Night of the Living Dead (1990)

[skarotum]

I love "1408". Starts out slow but creeps me the **** out. That damn song on the clock radio. One of my favorites.

Looks intredasting.

Lol it was probably the most overrated film I had seen in a long time.

Never heard of Korean versions. Will give them a look.

Haven't seen. Might download. Thanks brah.

I watch most horror films alone.

Insidious. Not crazy scary, but a really good horror movie.

Serious? I thought it was cliche and stupid. I literally laughed so many times that it just didn't seem like a horror movie.

[Opulent92]

The guy who recommended The Fourth Kind. It was pretty good.

Also, have you seen Pandorum? More of a mind**** than a scary movie but it has its points.

The Descent was siiiiick the first time I watched it (DO NOT GET YUCKY WITH THE BOYS, FUARK)

Another one I liked a lot was 1408, much better if you have a beastmode sound system.


If none of those float your boat you could always try the first Saw movie, and/or Legion was one that was weird/creepy.

I don't like horror that relies on cheap shocks. If something jumps out at you unexpectedly you're going to jump slightly, but it's not "scary" and doesn't leave any lingering senses of fear, like a horror movie is supposed to.

I will remember your name, and if it fails to excite me I will neg you. But for now you get reps for the recommendation.

I always watch horror movies in the dark, on a widescreen, loud, usually alone unless my sister wants to watch too.

What version did you watch?

So sweet.

Didn't get around to seeing The Descent 1, but watched The Descent 2 and it was dumb as sh*t. I heard the first one was better but I'm skeptical.

Will look up the others.

[Negativecreep0]

Martyrs if you havent seen it you will thank me

[PePPaRoz]

Haven't seen too many recently. Although I did watch The Orphan not too long ago and found it pretty well made. Some pretty intense scenes in it.

I edited it.

"Alternatively, just look at the mirror or watch Night of the Living Dead (1990)"

Did you watch this one? It's pretty good.

[ironmouth]

Can't believe the exorcist didn't scare you?? Although the movie does rely more on psychological fear than the primal ones you see now. Scariest theme about it was demonic possession was random and could hit anyone even during modern times.

What fears do you have that you haven't seem to never gotten rid off up until adulthood? Usually movies under this sort of lasting fear you have will scare you enough.


edit: try angelheart , mickey rourke n robert de niro or jacob's ladder

Oooooh, you most definitely should have watched the first one instead. 2nd was cheap sh!t knockoff to continue on epic cliffhanger mindfuark ending from the first one. I won't spoil it though.

[Jayl12345]

Most movies don't scare me either.

But 'The Fourth Kind' managed to do the trick.
