most effective horror movie (1 Viewer)

[APCSfan]

The best one released this year (imo) is Quarantine. It has Deborah from Dexter in it

omg lol r u serious?
that movie sucked balls.
i was more concerned of not trying to vomit from the style of first person shooter camera. gahh got a massive headache when i came outa the cinema.

and not even scary. just a bit of gore here n there. :|

I saw the Strangers and I was pretty much paranoid for two months.

 

[jennieTalia]

Hostel.
I couldn't watch all of it.
Maybe it was just the gore though.

 

[Pain]

Are talking gore-porn effective? Or general suspense? I mean it's difficult to classify Horror these days. Everybody is so desensitised. The Ring jap. version just isn't that scary anymore. I think Japanese horror is overrated, at least it is now. Asian girls just don't make me shit my pants anymore.

I liked the hand held camera shakiness. It made me feel more uncertain about what was happening + therefore increased the effect of the bump in the night moments.

I thought Saw 1 and 2 were pretty scary, but the rest were shit. Exorcist (original) will always be no 1 for me though.

Last house on the left is good for a scare

Hmmm I just don't find movies with a lot of gore and the occasionally "jumpy" scene scary... most of the time they look really trashy.

I would say Saw 1 and 2 are pretty effective horror movies but The Shining tops them for sure.

lol ahh k. well at the start of the movie i was like wtf? i was expecting better intro <.<. i guess most horror movies dont really get into it by the time its halfway finished.

 

[Roguedeth]

The grudge 2 like 13mins in i was like wtf wtf wtf. Pretty much any jap horror is freaky

The original 'Children of the Corn'

As for the best horror.. the original 'Scream', because it points out the complete stupidity of one of my favourite genres.

 

[SnowFox]

13 Ghosts and Shutter.

Fuck i hate ghosts, give me goosebumps, along with demented vantriliquist dolls.

 

[Hornby]

The Exorcist.

"It" is a close second, that gave me the creeps big time. Fuck that clown

 

[settle*precious]

The Ring for sure. Scared the living daylights out of me.

Prequel?! HELL YES.

"Old Boy".

A movie originated from Korea, based on a Japanese manga series.
By far one of the most psychologically and emotionally violent films I've seen, and yet you can't help but be in awe of it. Strays away from the conventional hollywood horror films with challenging directing and an engaging storyline. Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes 2003 by a jury lead by Quentin Tarantino, and currently in the process of being remade by Spielberg and Will Smith as the lead. When I left the cinamas with a friend, she said "That was amazing, now let us never speak of it again." I definately recommend this film to the well-informed and educated movie-watcher.

Truly a remarkable film.

I lol'd :rofl:

I also have to second "The Ring" (Jap version). That movie was extremely scary.

I second that. I actually wanted the camera man to be killed first; that way, maybe the camera will steady a bit. That film was definitely effective in giving anyone vertigo.

THE RING, the original Jap one.

how different is it to the naomi watts one?

 

[binary star]

The Omen was interesting.
