I'm a big horror fan. I've already got Texas Chainsaw Massacre, House of wax, Hills have eyes, Hostel, Wrong Turn, Saw1/2, Hannibal & The Ordeal. Can anyone recommend any others?

i suppose all those films are the glossy (mostly) remakes from the last few years. you want to get a copy of a book like the Necronomicon or a book on Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci etc etc

a total headfunk, was speechless after seeing this (but being Japanese you have to be for the Lost In Translation style pace, but totally worth it)

 

buy it here for £9.99

The Shining.

Childs Play films/Bride Of Chucky if you like ones that are funny.

Evil Dead isn't bad.

A Nightmare On Elm Street?

The Last House On The Left!

 

Not that I've even seen it myself...but it looks like it'd be good, I'm so buying it myself if someone clarifies that it's good in this thread B).

yes and no, as the bbfc wont allow the most infamous parts to be shown, however you can get it in the big box of the banned, with i spit on your grave, zombie flesh killers, driller killers, evil dead, nightmares in a damaged brain. however like many of these older it more brooding so you might be disappointed if your in for a long slog (its based upon the Ingmar burgman swedish film The Virgin Spring, so its not all ultraviolence)

 

however i think in your case best wait for the remake to come out next year.

 

however in most cases i would say always get the original out

and if your horrors are in the kind of ultraviolent bloody revenge sub-genres look out for

Thriller - a cruel picture/They Call Her One-Eye

 

one of the influences of Kill Bill

The Hills Have Eyes is shockingly bad.

 

The Shinning's pretty good, one of my favourite horror films is The Night Of The Living Dead, I think there was 2 of these made, one in the 60's and one in the late 80's/early 90's - I watched the more recent one and it was actually scary :o

 

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake is also good.

my favourite halloween, get any of them but avoid 3 (because michael myers isn't in it, and halloween can't survive without michael)

You clearly have no concept of what horror really is do you....? The guy here's looking for some actual advice here, and here you go sending him down blind alleys by recommending utter c**p like the remakes of Night of the Living Dead and Texas Chainsaw Massacre....

"Halloween 3 - Season of the Witch" was never actually meant to be part of the franchise anyway and should be taken as a film on its own right; the producers decided to market it as a "Halloween" film purely because the story was set around the Halloween period. Bloody silly if you ask me.... :wacko:

 

And to be honest, I reckon it's the best of all the "sequels" anyway (even though it isn't really meant to be part of it) because the rest are just pathetic buckets of sh!t without the involvement of Carpenter.... "Season of the Witch" has a way more interesting idea running through it than any of the 'official' sequels, which are pretty much all just Mike Myers pratting around killing lots of stupid teenagers again and again and again.....YAWN...... And, oh, he gets "killed" at the end... Oh, wait a minute, no he doesn't.....

 

FUKKIN' LAME!!! No tension, no surprises, no fun......Hardly Horror is it...?

 

 

 

I think the Texas Chainsaw remake is excellent..better than the original to be honest. I also love the Hills have eyes 2006.

Hills Have Eyes 2006 - yes, a good film which does not disgrace the original in any way, the fact that it was done by the nutty French pair who did the quite astonishing "Switchblade Romance", which has a quite fresh turn on the whole "slasher film" idea, helped its cause immensely.... The only thing I can criticise about it is some of the OTT prosthetics....

 

But TCM 2003??? Garbage. And it definitely doesn't help that Michael Bay was involved. What the fukk is good about it...? It lacks the dark humour of the original, it turns Leatherface into the stereotypical unsympathetic loony that he so wasn't in the original, the 'teenage' characters are all utterly objectionable and without any character to them whatsoever, there's no one even remotely as three-dimensional as Franklin from the original film; in fact, I cant even remember any of the names of the characters from the remake. And TCM 2003 doesn't have anything even remotely as tense as the last 20 minutes of the original, at any stage.....

The Hills Have Eyes is shockingly bad.

 

 

which one???

 

the original? the remake?

However i wouldnt go on praising Aja and co until you have seen their version of Into The Mirror which should be out sometime in the middle of 2007. The original bored me and so any labeling of their genius will have to wait until we see what they can do with that.

 

I'll agree that Haute Tension (High Tension / Switchblade Romance ) was excellent

maybe we should have asked him what kind of horror he likes, whether the sub-genre is slasher, psychos, monsters, vampires, demons, exploitation, Video nasties etc etc

 

as of course, some psycho and Giallo films might be Horror/thriller, whilst some monster films might be Horror/Comedy

 

does the guy only like the most recent glossy horror films or will any trashy b-movie do?

By the way if you like Psycho/Stalker films try Peeping Tom

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/30/Peeping_Tom.jpg

 

another good one is this by the master of the Giallo

the original? the remake?

Original, I haven't seen the other one.

 

Night Of The Living Dead is GOOD. :angry:

I thought "Into The Mirror" was alright myself, not a patch on other Korean horrors like "R Point", "Acacia", "A Tale of Two Sisters", "Momento Mori" or "Whispering Corridors" though.... I imagine Aja will do something pretty interesting with it though....
