Scariest film

[RonHaze]

Not been scared by a film in a long time (not since It), and I want to be. Whats the scariest film you've seen?

[Jaloux]

The voodoo doll movie (Chuck or something). I watched it when I was a kiddo (more liked stood behind something, peeking at the telly since my brothers wouldn't let me see it). Had nightmares for a long time afterwards.
I never did anything like that again. :lol:

After watching that "Top 100 Scariest Moments" thing on channel 4 the other night I want to see Don't Look Now. It looks totally crazy!

Scariest movie I've ever seen is probably the Evil Dead or else Ring.

[Acrobat]

The original version of The Ring :nervous: that scared me. The modern one was bad enough.

Evil Dead :lol: me and a few friends are obsessed with that trilogy. Love the Films!!!

[NinjaMaster]

If you're gonna get spooked watch the original Japenese version of the Ring. Much scarier.

My spooky films have got to be (in no particular order)

Blair Witch Project
Hellraiser
Signs (don't ask but got my mind going big time)
28 Days Later

I watched Sleepy Hollow when I was about 12, and I'm not kidding it really scared me! I didn't sleep for about a week!

Other than that, It is fairly terrifying. I tend to steer clear of scary movies, so I dunno.

I never got that film! Are you meant to watch the sequels to find out what's going on, or is it just not complicated at all? It seemed really unexplained to me and not scary...

28 Days Later

:nervous: When I watched that it finished at 11pm-ish, then went back to my house to stay the weekend on my own. I was 16. NOw I know why films are classified :D

[Char_Baby]

The thing that spooked me about that the most was the "not really seeing anything". Got the old mind going.

And you know I'm a REAL man *flexes muscles* :)

[lil_minx]

Anything with Catherine Zeta Jones is pretty scary... :nervous:

Don't think you supposed to 'get it'. Was the baddies that scared me. Pinhead. Butterball. All real freaky. :nervous:

[lil_minx]

I thought The Hole was the worst, shittiest, crappiest 'scary' film ever made. Horror films bore me to be honest but that was just so so so so silly! And the ending!!! oh my god.... terrible! Felt really cheated out of the £2 i gave to the bloke at the video place! Could have bought some chocolate and a bottle of coke and had more fun :rolleyes:

[RonHaze]

Dont look now is very scary. definitely watch it. is it on telly any time soon?

[z0ma]

I haven't been scared by a movie since I was about 12, and that was Exorcist III. Shite film.

But erm...I'd look out for 'Cannibal Holocaust' - the most notorious of the video nasties. Not really scary, but has a lot of atmosphere and it will shock you. Don't watch if seeing animals being chopped up and eaten makes you squeamish.

Erm....'Anthropopagus'. 'The Changeling'.

I dunno really, never been scared by a film as an adult. :p

As someone said, the Japanese 'Ring' is creepy. Also a lot of atmosphere in 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' - the original obviously. I've heard good things about 'Ed Gein' too. Although that may be more psychological scaryness because it based on a real bloke, and Ed Gein actually did all that stuff. Heh, lovely. :eek2:

[sprocket]

i agree with ninjamaster, i reckon signs is quite a scary film because you don't know whats going to happen and that confusion plays on you nerves and fucks with your head a lot :lol:

[Clandestine]

Just to throw my two pence into the fray.

I can certainly relate to those who offer the critique that truly scary films are hard to come by. More often than not, what is billed as "scary" or "horror" inevitably degenerates into little more than a gory bloodbath, which is more sickening than frightening.

For my part, I have found that the scariest films are those which do not attempt to shock you but rather to build an atmosphere of disturbing discomfort and impending doom. These sorts of films I tend to call "mindfuck" horror.

Perhaps the best of these I have found (in order) would be the following:

1. The Wicker Man
2. The Paper House
3. May
4. Longtime Dead
5. The Bunker

It may come as little surprise that the majority of these films listed are British indy films which do not fall prey to the typical Hollywood glitz or big budget PR hype that tends to leave the delivery far short of the initial promise.

I recommend people check some or all these out, if you havent already.

[Olive]

am i the only person who didn't find any of the japanese 'ring' films scary at all? or the blair witch project?

and this is coming from someone who is scared by anything.

[Kurt]

Event Horizon spooked me when I saw it years ago, that's a good film, one of the only films in the last 10 years to scare me (making you jump doesn't count, even if you know something's coming you'll still jump ala the beginning of Kill Bill)

Saw the Blair Witch Project the other day, I thought it was very good for what it was, very original and yeah it spooked me a wee bit cos I turned out the lights and chilled out watching it in my room and got really into it. I just liked the original Ring film as it was, not scary tho. And the Americanised version is shite :\

[jake0]

Spiceworld.

seriously i would of said the blair witch project, that really freaked me out because it seemed real.. i dunno

Take that back! Please.

It is not original whatsoever. The style and layout was so badly ripped from Cannibal Holocaust it was untrue.

The millions of profit they made from that should've gone to Ruggero Deodato.

[Hellfire]

I got hellraiser one two and three on Dvd Very cool films.. i understood it...quite easy if you seen them all...i like the one with the guy/moster who is reserected..forgot which one it is though.

[fugue]

i was sooooo scared when i saw when a stranger calls ( i was like 10 or something) the fone rang just after the moovie finished :nervous:

i think you mean chuckie who was in childsplay. i think there were 3 films of it? i saw that when i was in junior school. theyve brought chuckies bride out since then but havent see that one, looks funny though.

IT usually scares me due to its freakiness. but i hate 'horrors' like candyman, theyre just sick and gory.

did anyone see 'the eye' or something like that? where a group of people get locked in a mansion and think its bigbrother on the net but turns out to be a ig murder plot? now that is weird! me and my mates walked out of the cinema sayin 'WTF?!'

[Namaste]

This Japanese film called Audition :nervous: Not so much scarey... more... Ok, I didnt like it *sniffles & looks for a bosom to rest her sorrows on*

Child's Play! That's the one! I have never wanted to see it again, so I never knew it's name since I was just like five or six when it happened. :D
Never wanted to see any of the newer ones, either. It's had a long term impact on me for sure. ;)

I was also quite freaked out when I watched some British film about Druids or something.. (I'm bad with names, okay? :p ) Went to bed, being quite nervous about people jumping out from nowhere to slit my throat..
I don't think it was labelled as a horror film though..

Something like 'I Spit on Your Grave' would probably unnerve you then. A story of a female writer who takes a break in a resort only to be harrassed and violently raped by several men.

Actually, you might want to check it out - the woman gets her just desserts in the end. Oh yes. :p

Edited to add: If you're a fan of 'The Eye' and 'The Blair Witch Project' there's a new film coming out (already out, I dunno) called 'Dark Waters' which is meant to be extremely scary! That's from an unreliable source :p but I just checked imdb.com and there's a profile for that movie in 1994, there may be a new one. Who knows.

[astro]

The scariest film I ever saw was polterguist. I saw it when I was 11 and had nightmares about it. Nothing since compares.

The last time I got a fright was when I watched What Lies Beneath. I would highly recommned it.

[HunnyPot]

Starship Troopers

[Unnamed Player]

I ain't into scary movies man but I did think The Ring was pretty scary.

[Neil]

Final Destination 2 is scary if you like watching a group of nobodies meet their death in inventive and gorey ways. I felt very uncomfortable watching it in the cinema!

[eaglerocker]

haha, the first one wasn't too bad at all. sequel i just found silly.

people are so desensitised to violence these days all out blood n guts doesnt really do much. Signs is the first movie to freak me out in a long time...when the aliens ran into view on that 'amateur' video in sth america, that sent shivers up my spine :eek:

i really enjoyed the ring too.

Arachnophobia was prob movie that scared me most as a kid, and I would watch heaps of horror.

I've seen that. I thought it was original. Was actually quite a good film but not really scary.

I've heard of a film with that name. It's about zombies that eat people. It got taken off the cinemas after a few weeks because it was too scary or something.

[astro]

Ok, so following the channel four top 100 scariest I have started watching some that I have never seen (wicker man for eg).

Last night I watched 'The Others'. Wasn't expecting too much it only being a 12 - but it was great.

A really well written story, a couple of good frights and a fantastic end. If you haven't seen it and like a bit of 'boo' - I recommend it highly.

Tbh there is not certification for scariness, so it can have a low certificate and still be scary.

Films I have found scary include some film I watched once about a guy who was obsessed by this girl. Can't remember what it was called though. They had a big house on a hill someplace. Also The Hole was quite suspense-like.

Haven't heard of that one. The one I was refering to was this. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0077713/) Also known as 'Day of The Woman'.

Taken from the site:
The film follows Jennifer, a writer who is working on a new novel and needs to get out of the city to finish it. She hires a river side apartment to finish her novel, attracting the attention of a number of male locals. They catch Jenifer one day and strip her naked for the Village Idiot (Matthew), to rape her, he can't or won't and so one of the others does it for him. Jennifer is raped a further two times, her novel is destroyed also, she then begins to seek revenge on the men who raped her.

Not scary, just disturbing. Can't even remember why I brought the film up now. :confused:

[Luce]

I was most scared by What Lies Beneath; a feeling of suspense whenever she enters the bathroom. Half the time I was sitting in front of the TV shouting "don't go in the bathroom!", the other half I was covering my eyes. I laughed at Final Destination :rolleyes:
I found the Blair Witch Project was disorientating, with all the amateur videoing, and I couldn't get into the film at all. It just seemed to be them wandering round and round in the woods for a long time, and occasionally shouting at each other.

[Girl_gunner]

oo The Others is an excellant film! Scary ones..hmm. What Lies Beneath yeh, erm dont laugh but The Haunting really freaked me out (everything scares me) oh and if anyone has seen identity the film is jus so weird:eek:

[leeseylicious]

The Hulk Hogan film "Mr Nanny" - truly terrifying!

[paperdoll]

am i the only person in the entire world that didnt find the original ring film scary?!

yeh i shat myself when she came out of the tv, but apart from that, nah. i thot the american version was much more scary, i was terrified watching that!!!!

whenever i say this to someone, all usually get is "whaaaat?? pshaw, you peasant!!" *superior look*

tres odd, indeed

[paperdoll]

oh oh oh, wait, i know!! some crap comedy/action film!! im like, soooooo sarcastic and witty by using the ambiguity of the word 'scary'!!!!

:rolleyes:
