Least scary horror films?

Not really a horror, but nothing is these days, but watched the Happening last night.

Terrible, terrible film.

wasted 86 mins of my life.
 
Drag Me To Hell was fairly laughable, and not in the way intended by the makers. I know it was supposed to be amusing, but I also thought there were supposed to be a few shocks. I think the shocks were only designed for the people who have never seen a horror movie before, because it was all so utterly predictable.

The Orphanage was pretty overrated too I though, as was the Blair Witch Project (the lad standing in the corner was the only creepy moment in the film).

The Exorcist was one which I waited for ages to see (and to grow old enough for my parents to let me!). I found it more funny than I did scary.
 
I remember seeing Evil Dead 2 when I was about 10 at my frienRAB house. He and his 22 year old brother swore to me that it was one of the scariest films they'd ever seen. I laughed my head off throughout.

Also went to the pictures to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre when it had just been removed from the banned list with a group of frienRAB from University. We were expecting to see this gruesome video nasty but ended up giggling our way through a fairly tame horror film.

Oh and I almost forgot to mention Chud!
 
im hard pushed to find any horror fim scary anymore, i think iv become numb to it all, i cant remember the last horror film i watched that scared me, most are now full of stupid looking mosters or not so bad killers, i always end up feeling sorry for the monster/ghost/killer/thing in the end, i do worry about myself sometimes :o:D
 
I always felt sorry for Medusa in Clash of the Titans. She was happily going about her day to day life when Perseus comes along, kills her pets and cuts her head off - just to save his other half (it was hardly Medusa's fault Andromeda's mum couldn't keep her opinions to herself)
 
The Grudge-When she crawls down the stairs and makes that noise jesus christ lol!Think that made it loose all scariness the rest was kinda eh

The Messengers-The whole film was hillarious.The magic sunflowers and the plot itself and the whole thing was just lol!!!
 
:D:D, yeah there was no need to cut her head off was there haha

but i always find myself sympathising with the likes of Myers and Voorhees, the just needed more hugs as children :D:D:D
 
There was a run there for a while where horror movies were using that weird effect that was used in The Ring. Weird stuff that maybe is terrifying in Japan or something, but actually sucks. Wasn't there one with Buffy in the shower washing her hair and it was a hand?

Yeah all those suck.

The worst are the Omen sequels. The original is maybe still scary if you're alone and super stoned and creeped out. It was maybe frightening back in the day, I dunno. The sequels were just hilarious.
 
The third Evil Dead film wasn't scary and by now had descended into comedy horror.

Candyman 2 (Free the flesh?) was for me the most unscary film, especially as the first one scared the living daylights out of me :eek:, and was more about the history of Candyman rather than a shock fest.

Blair Witch Project was very tame considering people in America were puking and fainting in the aisles of the cinema.

I saw the terrestrial debut of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre after it had been banned for years, now I know why it was banned for all these years, not because it was scary but because it was so bad!!
 
Let The Right One In was not scary, in fact it's been described as "anti-horror"...but it's still a very good fantastic film.
 
I think you are probably right there. I am trying very hard to think of a horror film which had come before which dealt with the subjects of demons, exporcism and child possession. I know there were many films which dealt with the Devil, namely Rosemary's Baby and the Devil Rides Out but the Exorcist in 1973 was like Jurassic Park to all the viewers back in 1997, mindblowing never before seen (discounting stop motion effects obviously) cinema.

Drag Me To hell is an intentional comedy/horror and the females in the cinema could not stop screaming. A bloke two rows forward turned to the girls and asked them to shut the hell up. I thought that was out of order because it was after all a jumpy film. (My date for the evening couldnt keep her face out of my chest). Its like people who tell supporters who make a lot of noise at stadiums to be quiet.
 
I remember it being scary, but I've not seen it for a long while. The main reason it was scary for me is that it dealt with the Catholic mythos, which I was brought up with, so it pushed some of my buttons.

Similarly The Descent seems to be scary for people who are claustrophobic, because it has girls squeezing through narrow underground passages and getting stuck etc, but it does nothing for me because I'm not.
 
LoaRAB, too many these days, even without going into remakes or sequels.
Scream. I know what you did last summer, Wrong Turn, The Blair Witch Project, Jeepers Creepers, The Craft, Mimic etc
Then again you can laugh at some of the old classics now like Last House On The Left, Driller Killer and Dawn of The Dead.
