I wouldn't call it a horror movie but, I just watched "The Shipping News" that movie was wierd with lots of gory stuff here and there.
List your top 5 scary movies!
Here is my list to start!
3: the orphan
QUOTE]
So the Orphan was on last night and I watched it, b/c you had it on your list. Oh My God!! That girl was seriously crazy. I do not know how she did not get nominated for an oscar. She was such a good actress. The end was definitely not what I was anticipating!
I like some Asian horror like The Ring and The Eye.
Growing up I thought Poltergeist was the scariest movie ever! So, I showed it to my 17 year old boys the other day. They liked it, but it didn't keep them awake nights like it did me. That skinny ghost guarding the bedroom-
Another favorite is The Others! That is one you have to watch several times at least!
1. Signs
2. Shining
3. Alien
4. Aliens
5. Misery
Oh yes! The Others is one of my favorites too. I had it figured out well before the end tho. lol I really liked it.
Signs is really good, as is the Shining!
Hands down Glitter. Have you seen Mariah Carey try to act? Yeah that movie was plain horrifying!!!!
I don't like gory stuff just for shock value and all of that. I like movies that hold my interest because they have a story.
But there are some that disturb me more than others, like The Exorcist!! To this day I am still uncomfortable - and always have been - watching The Exorcist. It is very unsettling.
I like many of the things already mentioned here -
The Ring
The Others (excellent)
The Sixth Sense (except I saw that twist coming from a mile away)
Poltergeist
The Omen (preferably the original version and not the remake)
Open Water
Burnt Offerings
Most Stephen King mini-series, like The Stand, Rose Red and Storm of the Century - with the guy who kept saying, "Give me what I want and I'll go away."
This is more a thriller than a horror movie, but I love Fatal Attraction!
I also really enjoyed The Blair Witch Project - again, something is very unsettling about the very end, when the kid is standing with his face in the corner! Creepy!!
And, for those of you who want a really good TV show that is sometimes scary, usually bloody and just an overall great show, watch TRUE BLOOD!!! Not only is it addictive, but the guy who plays vampire Eric is sssssssmokin' hot!!!
And an honorable mention to a creepy, cheesy show from the past, courtesy of Rod Serling (who made Twilight Zone) - called NIght Gallery!! That was some good stuff - killer dolls, killer statues, witches, all kinds of goodies!!
