What Is Your Favorite Scary Movie?

[dprtodd]

I wasn't a huge event Horizon fan. It was okay -it just never really got the tension going and I personally find the whole rapid fire gory scenes that are too fast to watch montages to be poor cinema (When they are viewing the distored logs on the ship) Loved the scenes with the ex wife though and the whole airlock scene was kinda good. For scifi meets horror gimmie the original Alien.

The Thing was an awesome movie - when carpenter gets it right he does a great job -hes just kinda hit or miss for every Halloween there is a Lord of Darkness, for every The Thing there is a They Live (It's being remade too - which might be good).

Hey... They Live is an alright movie... Long way from a miss... But if they're remaking it, beware the remake. A remake of anything that's not a bad movie is naturally horrible...

[subtledragon]

Shutter (Thai version), The Blair Witch Project, Infection and Paranormal Activity are my favourites :3

Don't think I made it too clear Carpenter is remaking his own film which is kinda cool.

Oh. Well, that'll certainly curb the "this is goinna suck" factor. In that case, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out.

Some outstanding horror-films: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( my number one of all times, the original has such a filthy, life-denying atmosphere that has not been achieved before or since, the remake was pure crap! ) , The Exorcist 3 ( don`t get me wrong the first one is good too, but part three has infinite more depth to it ), Event Horizon, Cannibal Holocaust, The Thing, the original Ring, Subconscious Cruelty, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Eraserhead, The Woman In Black( an old fashioned english and truly creepy film), Nekromantik 1 and 2, Der Todesking, Dread, Midnight Meat Train, Inside, Martyrs, Aftermath, Flower of Flesh and Blood, The Broken, Hellraiser 1 and 2, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Funny Games, Possession ( truly surreal stuff with Sam Neill, from 1980 methinks). Those comes to mind right about now.

the ring was funny because it was so dumb. i was the only one in the theater laughing. OH NO A LADDER AND CREEPY MUSIC! give me a break.

I always laugh my ass off at horror movies. The victims always do something stupid. The killer walks slower than a snail but always seems to catch up to his victim who are running a lot faster. The last few minutes from Quarantine was kinda of creepy as she was trying to find her way in that pitch black room.

I am surprised no one has mentioned the Hannibal Lecter series. Anthony Hopkins is always great at playing the antagonist and protrays the erieness of a serial cannibal quite well and realistically. The Red Dragon was also pretty good, especially considering the relationship between the serial killer and the blind woman who is of course unable to discern what is going on around her. Unfortunately, South Park made it funny with its parodys. "This is me at the Grand Canyon. Do you see?" Lol.

I am not sure why so many people like those exorcism movies. They have been making those movies since the 70s and they are fairly stupid too. If you are really into the religious stuff, why not watch Seven?

I'm not really a fan of fright flicks, but I did enjoy "Christine." (Maybe because I owned a Chrysler product and it was a horror story).
