The DESCENT!!!!


Me and my frienRAB went through a faze of renting out loaRAB of horror movies and this was THE only movie that actually terrified us!!! Ive never hidden behind a cushion before, but I did for this!!!
 
I think it's effective if you were brought up in the Catholic faith, because it pushes buttons that were ingrained in childhood. For example, there's a bit where they are just playing back the demon's voice on a tape recorder, which is rather bland if you're an atheist but if you actually believe all that religious stuff is quite scary.
 
i have to say Hellraiser really scared me, and i only saw it quite recently. the effects are a bit dated and the acting is bad but the horror is really in the story
 
For me it was Jaws, it put me off the sea forever! and the halloween series god they all frightened me!

What about you guys?
 
I don't think I've got a scariest film, they are more funny than scary to me :o Having said that the last few mins of Jeepers Creepers with the eyes thing was :eek: to me!
 
Can't say what's the scariest because no movie has scared me at all since before the age of about 10.

But what did scare me was A Nightmare On Elm Street 1-3.At about 6 or 7 y.old Freddy Krueger gave me genuine nightmares,now they just upset me because I can see what they turned my childhood boogeyman into.

Jaws worked for me too when I was younger,still has an emotional effect nowadays.
 
I was going to suggest The Haunting - the Robert Wise original. That's really scary. The remake was very weak.
More recently, I thought Hide and Seek (the Robert De Niro / Dakota Fanning one) was pretty scary!
 
Woah, weird. We just watched that last night. It didn't scare me, although the dolls were certainly creepy.

Unfortunately, as much as we love horror (and our dvd collection is mostly horror), we find it is very rarely scary. Too often we're more irritated in the rampant stupidity that is all so common in horror movies.

How can you be scared when you want everyone in the movie to die for being so annoying?

My top horror film of all time is John Carpenter's The Thing.

My favorite horror films on the cheesier end of the scale are:
Darkness Falls,
Soulkeeper (horror comedy),
the Final Destination trilogy,
Cemetery Man (I believe this may have a different name in the UK and Europe),
and Dead & Breakfast (another horror comedy).
 
Horrors aren't scary anymore just disturbing except
(the descent) is a brilliant film but (silent hill) really left me feeling vialated.

Best horrors)
The changeling and Halloween (original)
 
A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

When Freddy decides to kill the Lad who makes the puppets. It whats he does to him that scares me using his veins has puppet strings. Gross. I couldn't sleep for days.
 
Yep, it's a nasty nasty film but utterly fantastic at the same time. That's one film that really shocked me - partcularly the casual way the first victim is dispatched - door slides open, wallop wallop, see you later (and he twitches. No-one twitches in horror movies...)

The first 20 minutes of the original Japanese version of "Ring" is pretty damn scary, as are parts of "Dark Water". Also, the final moments of "Don't Look Now" still make me go cold.
 
I found the remake of 'The Ring' not scary...but unsettling, just like the first 'Saw' film

It's the unknown which is unnerving

First 45 mins of Jeepers Creepers somebody has posted above...I agree

The video camera gag in 'The Descent' ... that was good as well

Best horrors are when you don't see 'the monster' because as soon as you do, the element of the unknown is removed, which is always more frightening...
