I *really* hope you aren't talking about what I think you're talking about.
You win this round, EE.
Heart Jared, hate everything else.
She even guest starred in an episode of Supernatural, which almost ruined my favorite show.
High Tension was SO GOOD. When the twist happened at the end I had no bloody idea and was totally WTF MY HEAD OMG
There needs to be more films like that. I like a good slasher but HT made me :mymelomfg:
As for Cannibal Holocaust, it isn't a very horror movie type of thing. You may not like it, tbh. If you are going to watch it, watch it like 'day of the woman' in that it is historically relevant.
The only scene in film history I've watched that genuinely scared me is [get this]: (SPOILER)the painting that moves in the hotel: in the mouth of madness. After seeing the first scene I could not look at that painting ever again. WTF!
Moving paintings are ALWAYS terrifying. Even friendly ones.
Yeah, High Tension is a really good movie. Funny thing is that when I watched it, by coincidence the last two movies I watched utilised the same twist ( namely: character x is actually an alternate personality of main character y! and when x hurt y it was actually y hurting him/herself!! [ the other movies wereFight Club and Martyrs]).
I really love horror films when something really creepy happens that not everyone notices.
I remember watching this one film (which I sadly cannot remember)which was just another horror film until at one point the camera panned across a character speaking and right in the background was a painting of a woman in normal dress with a normal look on her face. Two minutes later the camera panned back briefly to the character and the woman had a horrifying look on her face and was in a different pose.
I wasn't sure if I saw right, it was creepy as hell. They never mention it or bring it up in the film again.
Mentioning a few that hasn't been mentioned.
Misery, Orphan, The Others.
All of them with a strong element that not many horror movies are blessed with; good acting.
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe I forgot to mention this. Misery might be my favourite horror of all time. It's simply brilliant. Since I first watched it many years ago, Kathy Bates terrifies me no matter what role she plays. Each time someone opposes her character in the slightest I expect her to get out a sledgehammer.
Misery was so good. Silence of the Lambs was also great though that's more of a thriller than a horror...unless if you count the cannibal scene.
Spice World was pretty scary. (I liked it.)
I hate blood and gore in horror films and I can't watch films witho horrow that isn't psychological. THere are two famous films from the last twenty years that fit this description.
