I don't find many movies to be scary. I suppose you can't really go wrong with the Exorcist. The Shining, Poltergeist, and Jacob's Ladder are supposed to be scary, but it really depends what scares you. If you like The Ring and The Grudge, chances are you're looking for a jumpy movie, so I'd say check out Evil Dead or Ghost Ship or something. (Ghost Ship isn't usually considered a good movie, but it's similar to what you mentioned. I thought it was quite a bit scarier than The Grudge/Ring.) Also, any Wes Craven movie should be decent. Well not any but...You know, just stay away from Red Eye...

Just look into the asia extreme horror films. They are incredibly uncomfortable to watch. I watched A Tale of Two Sisters a few months ago and it had the most twists in any movie I've ever seen. It was awesome. And the climax is spine-tingling. Oh crap... I really dug that film. I'm pretty desensitized from scary stuff but, ah, whatever. Just search for asia extreme on amazon and you'll come across a ton of incredible horror movies.

And if you're into video games pick up silent hill 1 and 2, and fatal frame. They are amazingly great. SH1 one is also dripping with sonic youth, david lynch and jacob's ladder influences. And there's a haunted hotel in SH2 that feels a lot like The Shining.

Is session 9 really as great as people say it is? I've been wanting to see that for awhile. Oh, and the remakes of Ringu and Ju on suck.

one of the most disturbing pieces in cinema history.. "trouble every day" with a score by the tindersticks..
not "scary" but very disturbing...

I dont find many movies scary. Especially the current trend of crappy teen horror films. I guess I find stuff like Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby, and the Sinning pretty creepy though. But not like jump-in-your-seat type scary.

Not a horror film but a British made for TV film called Threads was pretty disturbing and freaky. It's a realistic account of what might happen after a nuclear attack on England.

Is that the one filmed in a Hospital?If it's the same i'm thinking of it is too good for words.

umjammer atomsk 05.29.2006 04:04 AM

Yeah! That's the one. I reaaaaly want to see it. I've heard only good things. Like, "It's a masterpiece!" and stuff.


I've seen a few episodes of the stephen king version and it sucks.

It's one of the oddest things that i have watched in living memory.Just looking at the tv screen makes you feel uncomfortable.

Udo Kier's... birth scene... was rather bizarre.

johnnywinternoshow 05.29.2006 06:50 AM

i can't think of many "scary" movies that are actually scary. Eraserhead is uncomfortable to watch at times i think same with audition. Requiem for a dream is uncomfortable too but not scary in the slightest, just depressing.

I'd say something like nosferatu or the cabinet of dr caligari would be scarier than the stuff they put out today and they're both silent so if you stick a bit of fantomas or something over the top who knows how scary they can become

Speaking of Tartan Asia Extreme movies, I just got one out of the library called "wishing stairs" that i'd never heard of, anyone know anyhitng about it?
