Lo,
ok, well at the moment im in the mood for some scary films. Everyone was always going on about how scary Ring was, well i watched it, it really didnt scare me at all...which was disappointing because i want to be scared!
Ive seen cannibal holocaust, and that didnt really scare me, but sure it made me feel a bit dodgy from all those animal scenes.
So can anyone reccomend a good film that will scare me? i would prefere it to be more on the side of supernatural than a slasher flick. I know about Last house of left, ill probably get around to seeing that, anyone else seen it?
Well, thats about it, just looknig for some quality horror flicks, i dont mind what country they are from :) altho i prefere japanese ones if we go forgien :)



The Shining.
i think for a film to scare you, you need to create a certain mood beforehand.
not many movies scare me nowadays, but try watching alone in the dark, the movies will haves its effects after you finish watching it :eek:



seen the shining :)
i thought the "mood" would effect ring...cus i watched it on my pc, and every 10 mins i kept chatting on IRC :P
i had a feeling that would spoil it ;)
Im getting Long Time Dead, ill watch that without chatting and the lights off :)



watch japan movie "the Ring", make sure you turn off the light and watch it alone.



watch Streetfighter:The Movie, if that doesn't scare the everliving **** out of you then you are not from this earth! :eek: :eek:



The Changling with George C Scott .......very creepy classic and a decent disc in R1 and a better one i hope with commentry in R2 Oct.
The Woman In Black.....canadian import of theis cracker filmed for the BBC and shown only twice since i think , a traditional ghost story with a scene that i nearly wet my draws at.



I actually find Gremlins very scary, and quite funny as well.
Those bloody things... :D



Exorcist III
Audition
Dead of Night (1945)
Poltergeist
Mute Witness
Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue
...and if those don't scare you....
you're already dead. ;)



I've recently read that The Vanishing (http://uk.imdb.com/Title?0096163) is supposed to be very high in the scare department, although I've not seen it yet. Just seen that there's a Criterion of it out as well.
Can anyone confirm if this is good/v.scary?

The 1988 original that you have linked above is a superb film. The 1993 remake pales in comparison and cops out on a vital part of the film: the ending - it is not so much scary, as chilling. Highly recommended!

Ring was crap - now Arachnophobia on the other hand :nuts:



Arachnophobia is great! Am I right in thinking that there isn't a decent dvd release of said film?
As for scary movies, there's a thread here from a few weeks back, Saber.



Yes, Ring was/is overrated highly.



i saw Woman in Black at a theatre in london, that did scare teh p00p out of me, it was done very well, she like floated from the roof and glowed, and those screams...eek!

i reckon you definately gotta watch this japanese film, not very well known called Ring.
:D



i have seen ring, i said so in my original post :)



just saw "Long Time Dead" wasnt really scary either, i dunno why but in the suprize bits, after a long build up, when there should of been a big sound they sound went quiet, so like something breaks through a wall and instead of there being a big bang! it does all quiet so you dont jump.
bah.... as much as i dont want to, i may have to watch audition at this rate :D
Im in the process of accquiring "Kairo (Pulse)" and "Versus" both japanese films :)

oh yes! The bit when she's sitting on the rocking chair and the spotlight suddenly goes to her
I saw this about 8 years ago with my mum, and she screamed out loud at this bit. So humiliating :oh-hum:



My vote goes to Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Kairo. I'm not exagerating in the slightest when I say my heart missed several beats watching it. It veers somewhat from exceptionally scary in the beginning to exceptionally shocking come the end, but I guess (from what I've read) that it does not work for everyone - very much a Blair Witch complete-hit or complete-miss affair I suppose.
Truly terrifying in my book though... :eek:



How about The Others ?



Monsters Inc?
