Yea it was called that.. Oh don't get me wrong...That movie was awful..But that scene was the best!! XD Off with her head...
She even gets loped off in the previous season of Supernatural...
I tell ya, a good Paris Hilton is a dead... When it comes to horror movies!!
Donny Darko was particularly good movie..But I don't if I would classify that as horror.
Scream was is a neo classic for horror genre.
HOTROD
"Lets go for a spin you and I"
Just finished watching "Frozen", and it was okay. There were some good moments, but for me, it didn't really thrill me all that much. Also, Shawn's character was really annoying, and I kinda grinned when...yeah, so it was good, but not nearly as good as "Canyon", which is a very similar movie, only that it is taking place in the Grand Canyon.
Not a big horror fan, but there are a few I do enjoy.
Psycho and the highly underrated Psycho II
[rec]
Scream
The Nightmare On Elm Street (the original) and New Nightmare
Audition (The only film to legitimately creep me out.)
Paranormal Activity (Though I thought the theatrical cut ending looked really fake and wasn't remotely scary. The director's cut ending was creepier.)
I liked the concept of the original Final Destination, though I felt I would have liked the movie more, if they had kept the alternate ending and the deleted scenes that led to it, which were provided on the DVD, rather than making it solely about the interesting ways for people to die. Human drama was sacrificed to make it easier to franchise.
That's about all I can think of right now.
Formerly: Autumn Rain
I don't think The Day After Tomorrow really counts, but there were a few moments in there that did it for me. Nature can be every bit as scary as some dude running around with a chainsaw.
I loved The Orphanage! It was beautiful and sad and just great. <3Originally Posted by eternal essence
The series is not what it once was, but the original Saw is one of my all time favourite movies, let alone horror. Also, The Orphanage made me cry, such a beautiful horror movie.
I thought High Tension was okay,but they gave away the whole big twist at the very beginning of the movie when (SPOILER)the main character talks about her dream of being a murderer in the car. Seriously?
Drag Me To Hell was pretty entertaining and what more can you ask in a horror movie?
The Exorcist, Seven and Jacob's Ladder are my horror movie classics.
Although they are fairly slow, the visuals are so haunting that they will stay with you forever.
I forgot about Seven! I realllly liked Seven.
I don't know. I just found Drag Me To Hell to be awful. The best part about it was Jason Long, and he is not the best part about many movies.
I saw The Last Exorcism recently. It made me jump quite a bit, and it was pretty intense, but then ending ruined it for me. Other than that, I mostly liked it.
I thought Drag Me To Hell was great, and so is Rosemary's Baby - if you haven't seen it yet, do it!
How could you guys miss out on the classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre? the original when Leatherface (SPOILER)jumps out and hacks Franklin nearly in half with his chainsaw
Or another classic comes to mind: Braindead, one of the funniest horror's I've seen like the scene in the house when (SPOILER)Lionel runs through the house with the petrol lawnmower and kicks the dismembered body parts into the kitchen where Paquita picks them up and puts them through a blender lol
I hate it when things are spoiled from the beginning. eg starcraft 2
I should re-watch HT just to see what might be 'really' happening rather than what appears to be happening.
If there's one thing I love more than a horror movie, it's a really bad horror movie. Luckily for me, those aren't tough to find. I was watching Jason Goes to Hell (a great movie if you like a deliciously awful flick) and right from the start, it was typical and stupid. Generic hot girl goes to the cabin by herself and gets naked for a shower. Typical. Then the power goes out. Typical. Then she puts on nothing but a towel and walks around the house, wide-eyed and scared, trying to find whatever caused it. Typical. Then Jason comes out and throws her over a balcony and she starts running out into the woods, falling completely onto her face every ten feet, just like you were talking about, Shorty. It was like they wanted you to know what would happen before it did. It wasn't done well, but it was definitely golden, purely for the comedic factor and predictability.
As for my favorite horrors, those aren't really scary either. The Evil Dead series will always be my top favorite when it comes to horror, if you can even call them that. I think a close second down the list would have to be The Shining. A young Jack Nicholson is one of the best assets to any film in cinematic history. And I definitely enjoy something that will crawl into your mind and have you creeped out for the rest of the night, as opposed to something that will jump out and startle you.
ALSO I cannot ever re-watch the japanese film Ring - the feeling of doom and dread that is generated throughout the film, and watching the television scene at the end truly creeped me out and I cannot bear to see the television (in the film) - since the tv shows up many times in the film I usually quit long before the actual scary scene.
It's funny bc usually horror movies get less scary as time passes.
Just watched "Trick R' Treat", and it was half-awesome. Not much of a story going on, but I suppose that's what they intended.
Trick R' Treat is the best movie to watch around Halloween time. It's a tradition I intend to start!Just watched "Trick R' Treat", and it was half-awesome. Not much of a story going on, but I suppose that's what they intended.
I'm more a fan of creepy movies as opposed to gory horror movies.
Some of my favorites:
1) Peeping Tom: Made at the same time as Psycho, but reviled instead of praised. The killer is one of the most sympathetic monsters in movie history. It makes a direct connection between his voyeurism of other characters and ours of his life.
2) One Hour Photo: Purely psychological horror, but still a compelling account of one man's gradual descent into total insanity. One of Robin Willaims most intense and best roles.
3) Eyes without a Face: Not just a song title, a demented surgeon tries to (SPOILER)restore his daughter's face using transplants, from live victims. Not particularly bloody, but very squirm-inducing.
4) Hellraiser II: Yes it falls prey to some silly horror conventions and is too gory in places, it nevertheless does two things really well: it has the best treatment of the Cenobites, and it has an awesome dipiction of hell and Leviathan.
5) Event Horizon: Visually a masterpiece, plotwise a mess. Love the ship and design.
6) Silent Hill: Same as above. Beautifully done visually, huge plot issues. It's worth rewatching just to drink in the ambience.
7) An American Werewolf in London: One of the best balancing acts between horror and comedy. My favorite part is the way the wisecracking best friend (SPOILER)comes back as a wisecracking zombie.
