I dont know how good it is (Coz i havent seen it yet) but [Rec] looked pretty damned Scary! and apparently the zombie thing in Night vision is something like youve never seen before! Gutted it only stayed at my cinema for a week! :( I was gonna watch it the day after it got taken off! :angry: :lol:

 

[Rec] is probably one of the most intense horror films I've ever seen (and I've seen a LOT....), once the situation begins, it just does not let up for a second.... A brilliantly executed example of sustained terror which the current crop of "Torture Porn" rubbish like Hostel or Captivity cant even come close to matching... The whole documentary-crew style approach works incredibly well in this film, much better than it did in "Blair Witch"...

 

An American remake has already been done however....... Oh dear..... -_-

Finally watched The Exorcist and :mellow: not at all what i expected. I expected my hair (whats left of it) to be standing on end and my eyebrows to touch the top of my forehead. Not at all. It was... supernatural thriller. I started to think, why is this film supposedly the scariest film of all time? probs cos of the time it was made in and how we didnt really know much better in the 70s. the only thing that came close to creeping me out was the jumping faces in between scenes. I thought i was going mad :lol: cos my mate continued like nothing happened. good film but not the scariest. Some good cinema moments though :)

Did anyone watch the Baby's Room on BBC Four? I think it was on last Tuesday night in the Spanish Horror - Films to keep you awake slot - Even tho it was a TV movie the film got a good review in the Radio Times (4 stars) and was supposed to be better then the Oxford Murders - Alex de la Iglesias' recent thetatrical film

Kairo (Pulse) - the Japanese one, not that bloody abomination "Pulse" that was remade by Hollywood a few years back

The Eye (Pang Brothers original)

Tetsuo - The Iron Man (weird, surreal and horrifying)

Eraserhead (ditto)

The Brood/Scanners/Rabid/Dead Ringers (David Cronenberg at his best)

Rinne (Resurrection) - BLOODY SCARY Japanese horror from the bloke who did "Ju On - The Grudge"

[Rec]- "Blair Witch", only a LOT better....

Cannibal Holocaust - Pretty damned unrelentingly nasty

Suspiria/Deep Red/Tenabrae/Inferno/Bird With The Crysal Plumage - Dario Arganto's finest hours....

Dumplings (strange and quite twisted Thai horror film)

Wolf Creek

Frontiere(s) - Really fukked-up French take on "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"

Haute Tension (UK title "Switchblade Romance" for some weird reason....) - A quite brilliant take on the "slasher" genre with one hell of a twist in the tail....

Calvaire (very weird Belgian horror film....)

Onibaba/Kwaidan (VERY creepy and atmospheric old Japanese horror films..)

 

Good list :D

 

I quite like the remake of Kairo also.

I quite like horror-thriller films because they have lots of suspense in them, and aren't so focused on showing gore like White Noise 2, Cabin Fever, Dead Again ( :D ), The Shining (read the book also) and Panic Room (if you class it as horror).

 

A Tale of Two Sisters was pretty freaky. They're remaking an English version which will probably suck, but I'll give it a chance.

and Panic Room (if you class it as horror).

 

Nah, more "Yuppies-In-Peril" thriller type of thing... The fact that the 'bad-guys' are pretty hopeless as well and are endlessly wise-cracking almost makes it a comedy at times... :lol: It doesn't really have the sort of grip-your-throat-fear as something like "Ils", which really is pumped-up and quite terrifying in a way that "Panic Room" just isn't...

i liked the Skeleton Key. Same producer as the Ring.

 

 

There's one other that scared the $h!t out of me but I dont know its name. Took place at a convent, and nearly all the girls would get slaughtered with giant cross at night. Turned out the killer was a maid.

I think "Misery" is amazing! :cheer: :yahoo: :dance:
