Begotten by E. Elias Merhige

I watched a LOT of slashers and cheap horror movies, but not of them really stood out. I guess from newer horror movies I have to say that Saw I (though some other parts are awesome too) take the cake EASILY. I mean ending twist is so superb.

From older movies, The Shining is my favorite. Jack Nicholson was really brilliant in that one. I should really watch that movie again sometime.

Have anyone seen this movie...
Phoonk 2: Producer Ram Gopal Varma pays you to watch his Hindi horror film
But there are conditions -- to win five lakhs you must watch it alone, let the public outside the cinema monitor your heart rate and allow a night vision camera to make sure you don't hide.
Sounds ridiculous! who knows?

SAW? Horror? Yeah..... : Just because it has a lot of blood it doesn't mean it's a horror movie.
nothing scary at all, the twist endings worked on the first one... but it's a onetrick ponny, sooooo predictable now.

Antichrist, by Lars von Trier.

Indidious is pretty fuckin scary. I watched it in theaters w/o seeing any previews and it made me poo myself

Japanese Ju-On (the Grudge or whatever it's called in English)
there is more than one movie, but the original japanese version is realy creepy and plays with your psyche

Really? I thought it was a pretty decent comedy, nothing more.

Personally blood, massacre etc. don't frighten me at all...
I haven't seen any movie that would properly scare me, but when I have to choose
I would say that psychological effects (anticipation etc...) creep me the most

Yeah I'd say that The Grudge is the best scary movie..

Although the Saw series went downhill as it went on, the first one is still a great movie filled with genuine tension and suspense. And that "Game Over!" ending has to go down as one of the all time classic horror movies endings. xD

The Shining is a classic example of showing that you don't need blood and guts to make a movie really creepy. Jack Nicholson's performance in that movie is so intense, you can almost feel it through the screen. The first time I seen that movie, it totally whacked me out. lol Same sorta thing with Silence Of The Lambs that Angel Reaper mentioned.

Oh yes, Silence of the Lambs! Also a superb movie. Although more of a thriller than horror. I also really enjoyed The Shining TV series too. Ever watched?

I love the shining. I used to live somewhat in that area. I have been to the hotel a couple times to visit it. Classic movie though, it really set the pace for tons of movies after that.

Well, it's sort of inbetween a thriller and a horror, but I'd personally class it as a horror because it really did creep me out something awful. Nope, I didn't even know there was a Shining tv series! I did see the tv series' of The Stand though, another great Stephen King adaptation. xD

@EmperorGonzo: You've been to the hotel from The Shining? That's awesome... I'd like to visit it one day myself, just to say that I'd been there. lol Is the photograph from the ending there too?

Btw (sorry if it was mentioned before) but i find Dog Soldiers pretty good low budget horror movie (with werewolves )..its interesting from start to finish and here and there are few twists that keep your attention till the end...

Dod Soldiers is a great British horror. The guy who did it, Neil Marshall, also did The Descent which is one of the all time fave horrors, and films generally.

@Angelic Storm Yes it is.

Has anyone ever seen Dead Alive?

Yes, although the movie was called "Braindead" over here. I remember seeing it in the cinema, and there only being 2 other people besides me there to watch it.

It's not really so much scary, as just all out gross. Definitely not a movie Id want to watch while eating! haha

Agreed. It was just odd to see Peter Jackson make this movie then pull out Lord Of The Rings.

#1 The Thing by John Carpenter (It's just a masterpiece, Rob Bottin's effects MAKE the movie.)
#2 Braindead by Peter Jackson (Favourite quote: "Yeah, one o' dem macrophiliacs!" "Necrophiliac, you stupid arsehole!")
#3 I Tre Volti De La Paura by Mario Bava (also known as Black Sabbath. This movie is split up in 3 parts called: The Telephone, The Wurdulak and The Ring if I remeber correctly, but these parts have nothing in common I think. Especially the second where the Wurdulak appears is good.)
#4 Cannibal Holocaust by Ruggero Deodato (Presented as something like "The Blair Witch Project" but with Southern American jungle cannibals.)
#5 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre by Tobe Hooper (A classic, but it has to be the original one. Remakes suck big cock)

I like old horror better than new. Don't really buy all this Saw stuff. I think it's gonna be the new Police Academy, I think. Also new horror is all about these moments where you jump because the serial killer or whatever suddenly is standing behind his future victim and you go "HOLY SHIT OMG I WAS LIEK SO SCAERD". I don't think there's a moment like that in all my favourite films. The eerieness of The Thing slowly builds up to the end of the movie.

He had some talent on that. I worked a bit with his first films for my filmclass. I had to work with only movies from the 80's and most of my class (who not-so-surprisingly enjoys mostly mainstream/modern films) were suprised when I told them that the trailer I showed to them (the movie Meeth The Feebles, AWESOME movie btw) was one of Peter Jackson's first.
Heh, when one douche I always hated (who kissed James Cameron's ass during his entire presentation and claims that all the films from 2000 to the present are the best ones) commented on how amateur the movie was I told him that at least you could already see that Jackson could make some decent and well constructed yet simple plots, he just needed some cash.

Also... the movie is meant to be trashy.

Touché #2 (not on me though ), that was exactly what I was thinking seeing Braindead for the first time. Jackson is such a tremendous director and he knows how to present the ideas in his head to the public.

I love Braindead, is a kickass zombie movie with just the right amount of ickyness and comedy. I'm all about horrors of any kind and I can take a lot, but the scene with the dinner where granny loses her ear in her soup and then eats me.... Boy, I had my whole dinner, lunch and breakfast jumping up my stomach. Pure horror. But my fave is the scene with hitting the baby up the pole

I liked Bad Taste as well, but not as much as Braindead. Bad Taste shows that Jackson had less money to work with than Braindead, but nonetheless, the movie is fairly amusing and watchable. Unlike most movies nowadays that cost much moreand make my eyes bleed (sometimes ears too, The Unborn go fu*ck yourself.... ekhm, sorry, I really really can't forgive myself for spending 5$ to see that piece of complete crap).

And oh, yesterday I saw that Fright Night is hitting the cinemas (well, it already did in the US and kinda burnt down) with Colin Farrel as the lead meany meany guy. I don't know it I should be psyched (he was awesome in In Brugges) or cry a bit (I can't help myself but seeing Colin Farrel with beer and joint in his hands..... like all the time).

Bad taste is pretty nice indeed although it wasn't as amusing as Meet The Feebles which I found simply amazing.
I haven't watch braindead though... yeah, I suck.

The Ring(japanese version) - the Eye - Others - Let Me In and Saw just the first part. these are the best horror movies of all time IMO.

Don't know if anyone watched the movie Sinister yet, but its very good and scary. It fucks with your brain.
I give it a 8 out of 10.

It was an ok movie. it had the typical modern horror movie clichés and some jumpy moments but nothing really scary (then again i dont find most horror movies scary). The idea of sinister is pretty interesting. The sound design was really well done though.

Well, I would say that most Asian/Japanese are IMO the best in horror movies. I have seen a few but can't remember the names. The only title I can remember is Ju-On (The Grudge) but there was another which I thought was better and gorier . I will try and post the name of it if I do find it.
