Resident Evil, the Exorcist wasn't terror for me and that fuill of Michel Pffeifer and Richard Geer 'What lies beneath'. oh boy taht was scary!
I've been saying that I hate horror movies, but looking back, I've seena lot of them, for some reason. I'm lame, but the first...argh, what was it called? That movie with Devon Sawa? Final Destination! That scared me. The Others was also creepy. Oh, and The Shining.
I'm more a fan of 'realistic' horror movies. No Haunted Mansion, special effects crap. I think that's tacky, and it's not scary at all-just funny.
I'm gonna go with being one of those losers who stays home watching old black&whire horror flicks late on Friday night. Modern films don't seem scary at all, even with the lights out.

Neither of these really scared me, but I have my favorites.
Secret Window was good. Will I read the book? Of course not.
Also I liked The Others. Either of those are most excellent.
How disgusting
Those classics that they're showing on TV One these days... even movies from the late 40s can still be just as effective as newer stuff.
It's unfortunate that horror movies are succumbing to the Hollywood demand for sensationalism and gratuity. Instead of deeper, psychologically unsettling stuff, they think that fear has to
be generated by "big scary monster" stuff. Monsters are all well and good, but the best fear is generated by what's not seen.
Signs, for instance, is one of the best horror movies I've seen. For the vast majority of that movie, you never actually see the origin of the fear - only the signs of its existence, and the people's reaction to it. Yet still, the tension and fear were almost palpable in the cinema. What is suggested and unknown.. that can be where the best frights come from, rather tham "OMG big scary maggoty demon at the window! I must flee from my bedroom wearing a negligee than get impaled on some spiky things..."
The Ring managed to be quite unsettling, too. Images, pictures, and words were all it took to generate an on-going suspense; that suspense heightened the effect of what happened later.
Demon Island, however, was utter garbage. Truly, unbelieveably pathetic. The "villain" was a vicious, inhuman monster with many fearsome powers; the cast were killed horribly; yet there were no surprises, no shocks, no real fear. Just predictability and an attempt to make a movie "scary" by showing a snarling red CG statue every few minutes. Yayness.
But if you want to be amused, it's a great movie to watch with friends. Pick one character each, and you'll soon be able to say their lines for them, before they do. It's that formulaic.
I like 'Evil Dead,' but not that I think its scary.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, The Hills Have Eyes is another hilarious horror film, I don't think its as well known as 'The Evil Dead' but its still kind of cool.
They scare me which is bad. I can't sleep for yeasr after watching aanything remotly scarry.
The Exorcist didnt do it for me. I enjoy horror films a little... usually not my genre.
I prefer older ones, funny ones like Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Evil Dead.
My favorite horror movie of all time would be 28 Days Later, because it was a movie that made me think, not just threw out some startling noises to scare me.
Evil dead is cool because it sucks so badly it almost feels like a parody.
The Ring, Final Destination etc were more funny than scary. I think Final Destination 2 had quite clever ways of the people dieing, like that lad that got crushed, the ladder in the eye... None of it was scary though. What a "waste".
I just saw "They." That movie kinda creeped me out. Mainly the psychological aspect. Is she crazy? Or are They really there?
Many thanks Christmas!
Horniest Member, 2007! Gimme a little unf unf!
To tell the truth i prefer watching romantic movies but i like a lot the horror movies too.My favorite is "halloween"with Jamie Lee Curtis although that which scared me to death was "Stigmata".I can't tell that "Exorcist" scared me,it made me more to laugh but it was very good movie.
"People Always Lie" - House MD.
It's weird how many people don't think The Exorcist is scary and even think it's funny. I can't even watch clips from it without having trouble sleeping for the next couple of nights. No joke.
The original Evil Dead scared the living crap out of me. Obviously, the second and Army of Darkness are different situations, but the first one just...creeped me out.
