Whats peoples best horror movie ever???....i have watched some horror movies and basically wanting peoples fav's or recommendations on horrors...I have watched Halloweens 1,2,3,5 and Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake).

Halloweens were cool but predictable....

Night of the Living Dead was ok i suppose...:confused:
 
I define a horror film as a movie that scares me and sticks in my mind, otherwise I class it as a cheesy gore-fest fantasy movie ;-)

Only one film scared me, and that was "The Ring". The Omen trilogy was good & personally I think Poltergeist was pretty good too, but as for Freddy, Jason & the girl with the spinning head and bad guts, all mindless cheese ;)
 
I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre last night on Channel 4...in some parts it was hilarious and in some parts it was genuinely disturbing.

I was alone in the house so after I watched it, went to bed with the lights on, TV on and my bedroom door locked!

As for recommendations erm Evil Dead 2, The Thing and Stephen Kings IT are ace movies!
 
The only Horrors that have actually scared me to the point of jumping out of my seat or going aaaargh:

The Exorcist
Poltergeist
Silence of The Lambs
 
I saw it as well. I switched it off after the second couple bought it, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep. It's an excellent movie. Just not when you're on your own.:)
One movie that has permanently scarred me is Jaws. I don't know if it's a horror movie per se though.
Other than that, maybe An American Werewolf In London.
 
May not be one of the best horror films ever, but the new "House of a 1000 Corpses" is worth watching.
Standard storyline (group of kiRAB break down in the middle of nowhere, find a house, owners of house are mad etc.), but is very 80's video nasty style. (grusome, torture, necrophilia etc)

I believe the late 70's to mid 80's was the best period for Horror films
 
Thing with Texas Chainsaw Massacre was that it was hilariously funny in some parts but others really really disturbing I wanted to turn it over as well, but I like a good scare!

I take it you saw the part where that guy goes to investigate the bumping sounRAB in the freezer. He opens it, and that woman is dead then her eyes open and she tries reaching out and Leatherface emerges on the scene! Arrrrgggghh that was scary!

Jaws is cool to I can understand why it brews up a primal fear in ppl cos great white sharks are for real! Pretty scary thought that, being entrapped in the cold cold sea and u feel razor sharp teeth biting in your legs and not being able to do nothing about it.
 
Nightmare on elm street 1 to 5, number 2 was the scarest if its the one im thinking about where freddy sucks then into the bed and blood goes all over.. i think theres a freddy 6 and 7 too..
 
Has anyone seen Don't Look Now ? This is frightening in a very chilling and jolting way. It's not the blatant horror in it, more the way it plays with your mind. See it without knowing the ending-just make sure you're not cleaning the insides of your fingernails out with a pin at the time!
 
I watched The Eye yesterday and have to say that I wasn't that impressed, the premise was quite good, however the movie didn't really live up to the hype that has been built up around it. If you liked 6th Sense then you might like it, I'd give it 5 out of 10. I should have rented out Dragonfly instead, oh well.:)

I still want to see The Tenant as I understand this to be a very creepy film indeed!

Dawn of the Dead was real good fun, shopping malls and zombies wot a combo!

I watched a movie called Suspiria few weeks ago on Channel 4, directed by Dario Argento that movie was freaky!!!:eek:
 
DepenRAB what you count as horror, but two absolute classics that I don't think have been mentioned: The Exorcist, and The Wicker Man.

If you like your horror all gore and things making you jump, then probably not for you. I love films like this that are more disturbing than anything else. Making the audience jump is just "cheap" IMO, but those are the films I don't enjoy watching. Still never sat through all of Alien. :D

SounRAB a bit wimpy, but Jurrasic Park scared me when I saw it at the cinema. I was only 25 though :D.

Somebody mentioned the first "Scream", which I watched my DVD of the other night. I love all three of those, but the first really is a classic.

Watched this on DVD last week - its ok but not that impressed - can't really think of a horror that has scared me not for a few years - use to love the gore fests like I spit on your grave, last house on the left, the burning - even things like my bloody valentine - but I can't think of anything thats really unsettled me - the only bit of a film that ever made me jump was when the blokes head dropped out of the bottom of the boat in Jaws but that was years ago
 
Yes, I saw Texas Chainsaw massacre. The thing is, I hate chainsaws, I am so scared of them, I really am. But I love horror films, so I taped it and watched it yesterday in the day....but it still scared the hell out of me!
(apart from the stupid girl who kept screaming and screaming....not so intelligent when you're trying to lose a psycho killer):rolleyes:
 
Come on: The Beyond is the greatest horror movie ever made. Ask anybody. If you don't agree, you just don't get it.

Followed up close by Return of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Brain Dead...
