Scary Movie Night

[Shiny]

Planning ahead eh. Well allow me to throw Frailty into the mix. More of a thriller but should freak your friend out: YouTube - Frailty (2001) - Trailer

Ah, I remember this movie. It only scared me because it reminded me of some insane Christians I've had the unpleasant experience of meeting. (SPOILER)Even after the ending, I still thought Adam was the most sane.

Nothing scarier than crazy christians, that's for damn sure

Well it looks like we're going with The Descent first, and a second if she's still able to continue will be Silent Hill. My original suggestion of The Thing as the second movie was vetoed because it is "too old." She offered either The Mist or Silent Hill, and I went with the latter because The Mist seems like a rather mindless horror (The Descent should get that out of our systems) and Silent Hill at least attempts to have an engaging plot.

I thought 30 Days of Night was pretty good if you dig vampires and zombie-level gore.

Oh dear. The Mist is a cracker. Nothing mindless about it at all. Sure the mist rolls in, there's all manner of horribleness in it and people get trapped in the store. But the real horror is the "humanity" within the store. Great performances and some really creepy moments. And remember it's a King adaptation and Darabont directed it. He also did Shawshank and The Green Mile. Proper credentials.

Silent Hill. Well I love the games which is perhaps why I tolerate this. Visually it's fine but if I'm honest, it is a crushing let down. I won't go into the "plot" in case you do watch it but I really think you'd be better served by The Mist. Anyway, I've said my piece maybe there's other trains of thought on it...

[Raistlin]

Oh, I forgot The Mist is a Stephen King movie. Maybe we'll go with that, then.

I also heard that Silent Hill was a letdown by all the hardcore game lovers, but since neither of us have played much of the games I didn't think the differences would matter much.

[The Space Pope]

I've never been able to be scared by a scary movie.

I always tend to overanalyze anything I watch and immediately find the tiniest flaws or plot holes. That and the fact that I can't really get into a movie's atmosphere, I always have the mindset that I'm just sitting there watching TV like I would with anything else.

Misery is my favourite scary movie.

My original suggestion of The Thing as the second movie was vetoed because it is "too old."

That depresses me a whole lot. Reminds me when I showed my friends brother and his friends Aliens and they shrugged it off saying the special effects were too cheap. They literally just flushed my childhood down the drain saying that.

Misery is a great film. The scene where she "hobbles" him stuck with me for weeks after I first saw the film.

My issues with the movie have nothing to do with the games, since the movie is what led me to the games. The behavior of one of the characters in the beginning is unbelievably reckless and stupid. The ending is just overkill. That being said, the middle passages of the film are rather brilliant at evoking the three worlds and the inhabitants.

And yet if you killed them, you would go to prison. And they say there's justice.

Fully endorsed. Just what has it all come to?

I'm not really expecting a moving plot from most/all of these films.

Good thing you didn't suggest the original Nosferatu.

There's no shortage of movies with cheap thrills. What's unfortunate is a movie like SH that wasted a lot of potential to be something more.

I'd rather watch one Dark City, with intelligent characters trapped in a nightmarish situation that a hundred Friday the Thirteenth's, where dumb people die in creative ways.

[Unbreakable Will]

Misery is my favourite scary movie.

Ahhhhhh!! I only remember a few parts from that movie (namely the leg breaking *shudder*) its freaky as hell.

I love scary movies, ghost movies are my favorites. I also love psychological thrillers The Secret Window with Johnny Depp is smurfing AMAZING.
So here is what I suggest:
Secret Window
props to Descent
The Shining
Excorcist
The Unborn (not as good but like a jewish version of the Exorcist)
Dead Silence ( I am terrified of ventriloquist dummies this movie gave me nightmares for a damn month)
