For Horror
1: Hostel
2: Texas ChainSaw Massacre
3: The Wicker Man
1. Versus
2. Shutter
3. Army of Darkness
The original or the nick cage remake?Quote:
3: The Wicker Man
I do like Army of Darkness,Must watch it again
Hellraiser has to be one of the best for me. Pin head has to be one of the scariest characters in a film. Every other bad guy had a reason for the killing usually revenge. Pinhead was just doing his job :D
I love so many Horror movies, the ones that stick in my mind the most are:
1) Switchblade Romance - first horror movie in a long time that genuinely impressed me.
2) Poltergeist - saw it when I was a kid and it scared the begeesus out of me and started my love of horror
3) Re-Animator - started my love of alternative film-making, kind of the 80's equivalent of House of 1000 corpses.
Haven't seen any of the ones mentioned in this thread... :crazy:
Exorcist was a nice one :)
Night of the living Dead - the black and white one
An American Werewolf in London
Stephen King's It
I do love the Nightmare On Elm Street,The g/f doesn't like them but i wouldn't class them as horror more funny to me!!
I'm the same with the Hostel movies, funny horror, but not like Braindead that was trying to be funny, just so far fetched and OTT gory that it's not really scary any more.Quote:

Saw (All + New one coming soon looks awesome)
Cube (I like them all especially cube zero)
The Texas Chaindaw Massacre - Remake
Sorry i really think the remake was pants...Most remakes are
1: The Shinning or Rosemary's Baby (depending on what sort of mood I'm in)
2: Hellraiser
3: Salems Lot (the version directed by Tobe Hooper)
(to be honest I don't think I could pick a true top three as there are just so many good ones out there)
This is true i get months where i watch the same horror films then i watch others,Im sure i heared there was plans for a new hellraiser has anyone heared of this?Quote:

You actually mean: "What are your three favourite horror films?" don't you? ;)Quote:

and the mist heehee
*rustle* *rustle*
let me see...
'Dog soldiers' has to be in mine TBH...
and strangely so has 'the cottage'...
and just to be odd... i'll chuck 'wendigo' in my top three too :D
but many others should be in there too...
Sound of Music
Grease
Annie
:eek:
Generally horror movies just make me laugh or bore me senseless..just can't get into them I'm affraid.
se7en is good but I don't really see it as horror..more of a gory thriller. Saw had a great ending.. hasn't interested me since seeing the 3rd one though.. thought the 2nd one was a bit pants as well tbh..
Based on your taste, may I suggest that you check out 'The Happiness of the Katakuris'? If you are going to laugh anyway, you might as well pick a good one designed for that purpose :)Quote:

Oddly enough though, I have less issue picking my three favourite movies ever.
Ive just seen Saw V is comming out in the cinema,I love those aswell got to go and watch that one.
So many films on here I'd consider thrillers with lots of gore. I've always considered the horror genre to involve spiritual or impossible storylines....Saw, Silence of the Lambs, Se7en, Hostel - they're not horror in my book. Although they do attempt to horrify, so it's probably debatable.
My Favourite three
Gin gwai (The Eye)
Blair Witch Project
Ringu (The Ring)/Hellraiser (Joint Third - seriously cannot decide)
For me it has to be some old carpenter stuff, loved horror since I was about 10 year old. to list 3 is a bit difficult but here goes in no particular order :
The Thing
Alien 1 & 2
In the Mouth of Madness
Friday 13th 1 - 4
Nightmare on Elm St (Mixed bag with these really)
House on Haunted Hill (Remake)
1408 (Not that old but damned good haunting / ghost type story)
Dam i should of never made this thread im going to have to watch of of these again,Alien was a top film and still is
So many to chose from :o
The Orphanage
Ichi the killer
Ringu
Ôdishon
The Thing
Evil Dead II
Childsplay
Puppetmaster
Blair Witch
Dark Water
Saw
You like Blair Witch,Sorry i didn't like that at all.Blair witch 2:Book Of Shadows was much better

Grey area, like Event Horizon.
1. 28 Days Later
2. Candyman :D
3. Orphanage (guillermo del toro)
Well I like sci-fi, alien (s) and event horizon etc.. but I don't think they are particuarly scary or horror movies for that matter.
I enjoyed puppetmaster too :)
I wen't to see Mirror's last night and besides amusing myself by humming the 24 music I was bored senseless and the ending is just dumb. It's pretty much the same formula to all of these recent horror movies though.. little girl.. old woman, torture and death etc.. :sleep:
The borg, especially in First Contact always gave me the heebie jeebies as a kid though :laugh:
I don't watch a lot of horror- because, being honest, I'm a bit of a wimp. But, having said that, now I'm old, I find that films that would have made me jump or squirm as a teenager don't have the same effect now- so now I don't tend to watxh them because they bore me. Occasionally I'll watch something just to 'test my mettle'. Last major one like that I can think of was the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In 1998 they re-released it but the BBFC still wouldn't grant it a certificate. Camden Council did though, and Empire magazine wrote it up as the scariest film ever, so I went and saw it at the Odeon Shaftesbury Avenue fully expecting to be upset and debilitated by the experience. Didn't quite work out like that- in fact some bits are laugh-out-loud funny, like when the grandfather starts imitating Sally as she screams at the dinner table:lol:- but the bit where Leatherface chases them through the woods is pretty heart pounding.
Does The Lost Boys count as horror? I'm pretty keen on that.
But the only horror film I can honestly say that I thought was truly excellent was Candyman. It's creepy, sad, genuinely scary, has a great plot and is very well made. I daresay I could watch it now and then look in a mirror and say 'Candyman' five times, but when I first saw it? NO WAY!:eek:
Saw(all)
Hostel
Silence of the lambs
:cool:
I've never been a fan of horror films, thanks to computer games graphic violance dosen't do it for me enless i'm participating.
However I absolutely love thrillers, Frailty must have by far and away the best performance ever seen from two child actors, and it really does mess with ur head.
