What's the scariest movie you ever seen?

Yeah the Vanishing I watched had a 'happy ending'. I did have Spoorloos on the PC but the other half deleted it because he couldn't understand it, and it 'looked crap' :mad:

I really want to see the original Haunting now. However, I'm currently pregnant and am scared that I will hurt my baby with constant scares :o:D

One film that did and still does give me the total creeps is The Ring (US version). LoaRAB of people I know say it's rubbish and not scary but it really really scares me, the faces and the video just gets me everytime. I found it much scarier than Ringu.
 
You don't remember rightly. At no point does a werewolf crash through a window in An American Werewolf In London.

The nearest the film comes to what you have described is when the Nazi alien guy stabs Alex through the window when she opens the curtains in David's hospital ward (but no window breaks). Or when the werewolf gets out of the cinema by crashing through the shutters that the police have pulled down to try and trap him inside. Or when David (as a human) climbs back into Alex's flat through the bay window because he has locked himself out (but still no window breaks).
 
For me it would have to be:

IT - way freaky!
The Shining - but turn the sound off, not scarey at all
Chiller - watched this when I was 13 years old, first horror film I ever watched about freezing bodies until they figured out how to fix them only when they defrosted them the didn't have a soul.....swear I didn't sleep properly for two weeks!
 
It's always films where you don't see much that are the most frightening (I'm not including Blair Witch in that because it was mostly crap, apart from the screaming right at the end which no-one could find not freaky in some way!)

I know the whole film itself isn't scary, but the part in Close Encounters of the Third Kind where the aliens land outside, come in the house and 'abduct' the boy, and you don't see anything, just all the house going crazy, the blasting lights, the sound effects (turning the lights off and your sound up really helps here). The best part is when the screws are being unscrewed out of the vent. It's just the idea that SOMETHING is under there doing that.

Here's that particular scene, it's 4 minutes into the clip -

Spielberg at his ultimate best!
 
Scariest movies I have seen:

Signs
Alien Abduction - The Mcpherson Tapes
Fire in the Sky

Apparently the US version of The Grudge is meant to be scary, I just found it dull. But funny, when the 'ghost' or whatever goes past the screen door in a manner which made it look like it was on a skateboard. :D
 
'The Evil Dead', 'Zombie Flesheaters' and the original 'Dawn Of The Dead' have always scared me! :eek: But then I was a kid when I first saw them! :D

Also that film 'ThreaRAB' - I think it was shown on the BBC in the 80's, but I only watched it a couple of months ago. Scared the cr*p out of me! :eek:
 
Will have to steel myself to watch the DVD - it may have been the FACT that I was in the middle of nowhere, in a place full of windows looking out onto the dark, while watching this that terrified me :eek:
 
Sorry to disappoint people but went to see The Orphanage at weekend.

Had promise but totally lost it towarRAB end trying to be a tad too clever.....

I wouldnt particularly recommend it!

Maybe a 5 outa 10 sorry peeps!
 
Poltergeist 2

The scene where the little girl is sitting in the garden and the old man is just slowly walking up towarRAB her. I watched that when I was about 6 and it still scares me to this day :o
 
I really can't watch scary movies, they scare the hell out of me. Scariest I've probably ever seen is The Exorcism of Emily Rose; which I know is hardly scary compared to most 'scary films', but I nearly wet myself watching it! :o
 
The original black and white 'The Haunting', 'Signs', and 'the War of the WorlRAB' starring Tom Cruise - especially the bit at the ferry where they see the machines approaching and everyone starts to panic - the way the whole film was lit was creepy too.
 
The Asian horrors I find are the best, I think it was the Two Sisters I watched and there was one seen where I knew a shock was coming, I sat there watching thinking any minute now then all of a sudden there was the bit that made me jump and god did I jump :o

Not really scary but a creepy one is R-Point, think it was Korean and is basically Full Metal Jacket meets The Shining.
