Best Horror Movies

[gcb]

Alien is definitely a sci-fi horror movie.  The chest-burster was one of the most shocking scenes in movie history.

Invasion of the Bodysnatchers was a pretty creepy movie back in 1978.

I was scared to fall asleep after seeing "Invasion of the Bodysnatchers" - I was like 7.

Without a doubt Martyrs was the most disturbing movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Was a good movie, but I swore I would never watch it again.

Here, here.  I won't watch it again, yet I'd still have seen it had someone described t to me.

The first half was fairly enjoyable, a hard, but normal horror film, but the second half became literally unbearable. Every more minute it became worse, you felt the suffering of the girl literally on your own body, and were almost relieved when the bitch finally died. Passion of the Christ was kids stuff compared to that.

I was about to turn off, to puke and idK what else, somehow I made it to the end (watching it alone didn't make it easier I guess). And I was well in my 20s watching that movie. Didn't sleep the night either. But I loved the "ending twist", a lotta room for speculation and interpretation

The horror/noir movie that scared me the most was and is masterpiece Deep Red by Dario Argento, by far no comparison, Phenomena was also pretty disturbing... Most hopeless feeling always Dawn Of The Dead 1978 (Romero's best imo) with Goblin soundtrack... Recently i would say Paranormal Activity was pretty uneasy and scary...

The Shining = #1



Note: I did enjoy Jeepers Creepers

[Ronnie Rep]

1. Exorcist
2. Carrie
3. The Shining
4. Nightmare on Elm Street
5. Alien
 
 The Exorcist far and away is my #1. Legitimately scared the shit out of me when I saw it. It is the only horror movie I saw people walk out of.

FRANKENHOOKER had the best VHS cover.  You press the button on it and it would say "Want a date?"  hahaha

Good that it got mentioned,
"Dawn Of The Dead"/1978 - the penultimate Zombie film.
"Day Of The Dead"/1985, could have been even better but was cut short because of rating issues which halved its budget(3.5 Million $ instead of 7...
highly recommended to download and read the script because it peeks into Romero's truly great initial version.

1978 Dawn Of The Dead is the best zombie movie ever in my opinion, it has everything... The 2004 remake was decent but not even close, plus i fucking hate running zombies...

Totally understandable. It brought out the horny in all us.

I forst saw Frankenhooker on HBO as a kid, and it was immediately followed by a movie called "Him & Me," where a guy hates that his dick does allthe thinking for him, and the dick, sick of being badmouthed, leaves. So the guy spends most of the movie bonerless and then eventually they make friends again and his boner comes back. Not an X-rated movie and no actual shots of boners. Just a lot of pants-height POV, kind of like when they do puppy-cam, only better. HILARIOUS

C'mooooonnnn, I was 17. Everything brings out the horny when you're 17, especially watching scary movies with your boyfriend.
I think the second movie I ever banged through was Leprechaun 4: Leprechaun in the Hood.
Come to think of it, I've made a lot of poor movie-bang decisions.

Ha! Horror really seems to rev your engine.

In general I'm not a horror fan - because I'm a pussy and get scared and stay up at night just staring at the ceiling lol

But horror movies that I have enjoyed:

1.  28 days later
2.  Dawn of the dead (the remake - never saw the original)
3.  The Shining (to be fair I had read the book before)
4.  The Mist (Not super scary but fucked up ending in the movie version - I had also read the book before)
5.  I am Legend - Not really a horror movie but It scared the shit out of me nonetheless!
6.  Alien - YES!!!
7.  Bram Stokers Dracula - Just because I love how it brings in the history of Vlad the Impaler
8.  Signs - not super scary or anything but really erked me out!
9.  Fire in the Sky - not a horror movie by any account... BUT THERE IS THAT ONE SCENE!!!


A couple of comments on what you guys posted (Full disclosure:  I haven't seen any of those below, just read about them):

A Serbian Film - Everyone and Anyone will confirm there is no plot or story or point - its just someone trying to get major shock out of the audience.

Cannibal Holocaust - From what I recall the filmmakers were taken to court for that true turtle killing and because some people really believed that the impaled girl was really killed (along with other fake corpses in the movie) - also I think I read two of the cast members fucked in real life prior to filming to prepare for the movie!

Martyr - Holy shit, I just read the plot on Wikipedia and WTF!!!!  Seriously WTF!!!!!


One of the most disturbing movies I've ever read about and I can in no way get myself to watch is:  Salo or the 120 days of sodom  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal%C3%B2,_or_the_120_Days_of_Sodom
