Seb Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I get scared really easily and I love a good horror film, gives me a real buzz. Watched The Grudge on TV the other dy and nearly shat myself and was then too scared to go to sleep. Brilliant My friend who also loves horror films suggested we do a horror marathon and I was trying to think of some really scary films to watch but all the scary movie lists I found on Google were rubbish. What are people's top truly scary, jump out of your skin terrifying horror films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would say the SAW movies would be a good place to start for a noob to horror movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 I've seen loads but that's the thing, trying to find new stuff that I haven't seen and which is actually scary. Lot of crap out there and was hoping to find an ultimate list but I've either seen them or they're not going to be scary enough. Not seen the Saws though and everyone keeps saying I'd like them so really should get round to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are people's top truly scary, jump out of your skin terrifying horror films? Ju-On: The Grudge was the original version (genuinely Japanese I think, unlike some of the stuff labelled J-Horror), and my scariest film to date. Lots of Ju-On films If you think you might like the original The Grudge, try Dark Water. Similarly scary. The Eye (original) is good, too. Ring (original) also good. The sequels not great but still watchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of Ju-On films Ah yes, I have the original languishing in my collection, desperate for a good watching. If you think you might like the original The Grudge, try Dark Water. Similarly scary. Remember seeing some stuff about this, looked quite good. Will hunt down the JDM version. The Eye (original) is good, too. Ring (original) also good. The sequels not great but still watchable. Seen two of the original Rings, which I really enjoyed, might have a go at The Eye too. Cheers for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The Descent is decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 IT Candyman Event Horizon Alien/Aliens The Mist (purely for the ending) The Descent (my mate came out of this one chalk white) The Shining I went through the top 100 and these are the ones that stand out for me as being decent horrors. I absolutely love horrors myself but i think i have became pretty immune to them. Scariest film i remember was the Howling. I was about 8 and my Papa used to record them for me to watch during the summer. I loved horrors but this one hit a chord with me. Got me scared at the bit in the cabin in the woods, ended up in the living room on my papa's knee to watch it saying "i wasn't scared, i just wanted to watch it with you".

marcAB10 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 - Evil Dead, scary and fookin' funny. a must see. - Wrong turn, cheesy but brilliant. - Texas chainsaw massacre, the origanal. - Cube, a cult film, a must see thriller. there's not a lot of horrors i don't own or havn't seen, it's my favorite genre. i aso recoment 'silent hill' a lot of people don't like this film but i love it!

mathew Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 return of the living dead. the first horror i ever watched and was too scared to even go upstairs after watching it. managed to get a copy a few months back and watched it again, 15 years on and its more like a comedy now than a horror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Doom Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 My favourite horror film of all time is Poltergeist. Still gives me the creeps when i watch it! I watch a lot of horror films and the only recent one to give me a bit of a thrill was 'Rec'. Superb film! If you've not seen it, give it a go!

If you've not seen it, give it a go! Yep, i thought that was a great film, even with the subtitles. it has just been remade and released here called 'Quarantine'. look's almost exactly the same but in english.

SteveR Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Mirrors, which will be at the cinema soon, also looks good. That is another holywood remake, but I haven't seen the (Spanish?) original so can't comment on that. There are some decent trailers for Mirrors on the net but I can't search them from work.

Mike Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Another vote for [REC] Also The Exorcist... and (again) original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I love horror. Another vote for REC and The Eye (Jap version) Not Scariest film, but last weekend watched House of 1000 Corpses and Devils Rejects back to back. Both cool films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 For old school stuff, I like "The Fog". Brilliant film. EDIT - didn't realise they'd remade it in 2005. Is that worth watching, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzsupra Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Apart from: Silent Hill Thirteen Ghosts House on Haunted Hill Which have been mentioned i recommend: 28 Days Later 28 Weeks Later Darkness Falls I'm sure there's more but i can't think at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
