Videodrome obviously videodrome is my favorite movie, i even have a tattoo
huuuuuuuge horror fan here. some of my favorites would be... (besides the obvious ones) trick r treat orphange the descent silent hill 30 days of night REC damn im blanking out right now... what other movies would u suggest i check out? any good space horror picks? like event horizon, pandorum style.
im not too big into space stuff myself, i like less scifi stuff, unless its cronenberg. he defies genres haha. but i suggest you check out the new wave of french horror, there are 4 really awesome movies out from there right now, high tension, martyrs, inside, and frontiers. all very brutal and real.
Ok help me out here... Which of these is worth checking out right now? Let the right one in moon session 9 devils backbone ive been told i need to watch these ASAP
i used to HATE horror Movies with the burning passion of a thousand white hot suns, my big bro used to sit me down when i was younger and make me watch all these movies and they used to scare me shitless, and he used to scare me everychance he could, but now i don't know why, but all the movies he used to show me and scare me with are my fave movies, and i fucking love horror movies....i love the death scenes
let the right one in, isnt a horror movie. its a love story with a semi-brutal vampire. that said, i own the movie and love it lots. good movie. moon is a scifi, ive heard good things but havent seen it, id watch devils backbone, i saw it on on demand a while back and i thought it was creepy. does anyone here like italian movies? ie. lucio fulci? he's my favorite. or how about david cronenberg? i dont know if i mentioned it in the thread, but i have a Videodrome tattoo. ill update the first post with a picture.
I would have to say some of my favs are night of the living dead (original) halloween (original) and definatly the exorcist. Also ringu (japanese 'the ring' movie) Actually, Japan has alot of good horror movies. I'm gonna say 30 days of night just because I thought the vamps were pretty badass. I really liked Scream alot, and also IT just because it scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
hellraiser is your number 8 favorite. I seen it about three weeks ago and I thought it was overrated. I always seen it in the video store and thought it looks scary but then i seen it and though it sucks. I like The Ring texas chainsaw massacre new version twighlight...........Kidding that movie sucks 30 days of night hills have eyes dawn of the dead and some more i cant think of right now.
just saw Moon. i really liked it. not a horror movie by any means, but the twist is pretty awesome. u gotta check it out.
a well made horror film is one of my favorite types of movies. i dont think horror gets as much respect and recognition as it deserves, because there is so much crap in that genre. the negative far outweighs the positive, and that overwhelming ratio scares off (no pun intended) alot of potential viewers. but despite all the shitty horror flicks, some of the best movies ever are horror films. ^^ and Moon is such an epic movie.
Some of my favs, in no particular order: Cannibal Holocaust (fucking sick, but fun to watch) The Blair Witch Project The Exorcist The Exorcist 3 Drag Me To Hell Silent Hill The Ring Dawn Of The Dead The Collector (2009), fucking GREAT, if you missed it in theatres, be sure to check it out on DVD/Blu.
nah, you're wrong about hellraiser, that movie is awesome, its scary, it has a good plot, gore, .. honeslty. hellraiser fucking rules. i might watch it tonight. Frank is awesome. look at how awesome that is.
The original night of the living dead is still my favorite horror movie of all time. I saw it when i was a little kid for the first time, and the part with the zombie girl in the basement and the knife gave me nightmares for weeks. Now that's what a horror movie should do, fuck with ya a little bit.
Huge horror fan here. Not a fan of the new stuff with computer animation. I prefer the chessiness that is 70's and 80's exploitation films. Pretty much all the movies you have haha. One of my favorites is savage streets with Linda Blair.
HIGH TENSION IS KICK ASS LOVE THE TWIST...FOR SOME REASON YALL FORGOT TO MENSION THE FUNNY AS SHIT AND TRIPPY FREDDY KRUGER... OLD BOY is one of my favorites but i dont know if that would be horror.battle royal is good too again i dont think its horror but its pretty twisted..the CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST was a lil slow but worth the watch it looked SOOOOOO REALLLL ..have you seen pink flamingo heard it was real sick hard to get ahold of post a link anyone.. AMERICAN PSYCHO AND TED BUNDY are the best psycho movies out their. wizard of gore is kick ass the new one never seen the classic hard to find. i forgot the name of this zombie movie that came out it was from europe about a meteor shower that hit earth and started turning people into zombies and a regular fisherman was some kind of kick ass gun slinger dont know the name but thought it was good the cover has a guy with a gas mask holding a shotgun. HALLOWEEN was real good especially with that little budget they have now thats good film making. PERFUME IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES DONT KNOW IF IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED HORROR. PLANET TERROR WASNT BAD.FROM DUSK TILL DAWN IS A CLASSIC. THESE ARE JUST SOME.ILL POST MORE AS SOON AS I REMEMBER DAMN STONERS...LOL.
Just saw session 9. I really liked it. Its a total ambience film. I work at a hospital and im alone on saturdays. So this movie creeped me out good. Haunted insane asylum? Doesnt get better than that
i recieved inside, martyrs, and the burning from amazon today. the only one i havent already seen is the burning, but i watched that today and BOY is it awesome, one of the better slashers really. good gore. apparently tom savini didnt do friday the 13th 2 just so he could do this.
