Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

The Thing (1982)

The prequel from 2011 isn't great though. Definitely watch the original first.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Since you liked Saw, I recommend two that I found underrated with interesting concepts:

Locataire

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Oh! I see. I just watched Paranormal Activity 3 last year.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Saw is in his list at the start of this topic.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

^The first original Saw was awesome, not an easy movie to watch often after that, as the initial watch is the whole point.

'Too much horror, too little time.' This should be my signature.

I absolutely agree with The Devil's Rejects. I'd also recommend House Of 1000 Corpses. it's also done by Rob Zombie. they're both really well done.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

The Shining is my favourite horror movie.
And I really like The Others, Let the Right One In, Freaks, Nosferatu (1922), Alien, Psycho, The Orphanage, The Ring (originaal japanese) and the Grudge (original japanese)

I haven't watched a ton of horror... but I was surprised Psycho (1960) hadn't been mentioned in this thread

Halloween (1978) is my favorite in this genre

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Alien.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Maniac
Tenebre
Crawlspace
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Peeping Tom
The Innocents
Repulsion
Vampyr
Evil Dead
Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

I recommend "Them," a French horror that kept me enthralled from beginning to end.

Going way back, here's a good one, Phantasm (1979)

i like insidious. it was a well shot movie that didnt rely on heavy cgi. the story was good and for a newer age horror it felt creepy like the older ones. since most new horrors suck.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

A few good recent ones that I think are worth watching are,

The Cabin In The Woods
The Pact

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

^ Hunger Games? I wouldn't really call it a film of the horror genre.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

I enjoyed The Ugly, which is an independent movie focusing on a serial-killer that is seemingly tortured by his "visitors" to kill people, but it's hard to tell whether it's genuine or not. I found it to be a very enjoyable movie in-itself, and was shot considerably well. The blood is black to emphasize that the killer doesn't see people the way that we do, and things like that.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

I'm not a huge fan of horrors, I actually used to watch loads when I was younger but now I realize how crappy they were. However, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Misery yet, which I think is a very good one.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Untraceable is a fantastic movie, highly recommended.

Here's my list. I hope I didn't repeat any... Enjoy

247 Degrees Fahrenheit (2011)
ATM (2012)
Chained (2012)
The Loved Ones (2009)
Triangle (2009)

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Ill 3rd Untraceable, different and very modern take on the slasher.

If you dont mind subtitles check out Martyrs, Frontiers, Inside and especially Switchblade Romance, all excellent horror films, gory and clever.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Now this I can help with.

Cold Prey
Cold Prey II (Better than the first)
Wrong Turn
Wrong Turn II (Ignore the rest... we're up to 5)
Livid(e)
The Divide
Static
Insidious
Sinister
A Lonely Place To Die
Triangle

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Hi Satans Puppet, totally dig Cold Prey, was the best horror movie I had watched in years when it came out, had that proper 80s slasher feel! Intelligent for a horror as well. Need to watcht the 2nd again though, I felt it wasnt as good as the first, lost the originality

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Am I the only one here who feels The Silence of the Lambs is overrated? I am not saying it's not a good movie, but I expected much more.

Oh and also, how disgusting is The Exorcist? I am not saying this to disparage the movie, it's an honest question. I've heard it's extremely disgusting and not for the squeamish, and I'll probably never give it a go if it's more disgusting than scary (this is where horror movies fail, for me), but I haven't seen it so I'm not going to judge it, obviously.

I have seen the projectile vomit scene on YouTube though, so as long as there aren't any other scenes that are more disgusting than that, then I might see it.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Some people may find the cross masturbation scene disgusting, but it's more disturbing than disgusting to me.

The scene Minio is talking about is the only scene more disgusting imo. I'm not gonna lie though there is a good few horrible scenes like the head twisting scene that traumatized me as a child lol.

I agree too The Silence of The Lambs is overrated. When i was about 12 it was probably in my top 20 movies, it's not a film that stays as good from rewatches though imo. I actually prefer Manhunter now, nobody can play Lecter as well as Hopkins in Lambs though.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

There's also a scene where she dripples green stuff all over a cloth. But yeah, the cross masturbation is the most disturbing bit.

I disagree re Silence of the Lambs. Watched it again last week and whilst some things have dated slightly and it's obviously not scary or disturbing when you know what happens, seldom in the history of movies has there been such a great pairing opposite each other as Hopkins and Foster in this movie. Their acting and chemistry mixed with a good story and some iconic scenes makes this still a 10/10 movie IMO.

I've been banging on about this since the late 90's. Finally, some support and, yes, Manhunter is better.

well, here are my top 5 horror films

1. The Shining

2. The dawn of the dead(2004)

3. Insidious

4. Evil dead(the old one)

5. Sinister

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

^All of those are awesome movies.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Cabin in the woods
Insidious
VHS
Triangle
The Last Exorcism
Fright Night (original and new)
The Awakening
The Loved Ones

Triangle is in my stack of unwatched, and I've been meaning to get The Loved Ones. I don't believe I've heard of The Awakening, but I'll be sure to look for it now. I've seen the rest that are on your list, and they're all damn good choices.

Triangle is very good man, seriously give it a watch if your into this type of horror :yup:

I have been after The Loved Ones for ages and finally got my hands on a copy and its cracking!

I really enjoyed The Awakening, here is the trailer ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB8UAuGBJGM

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

I bought The Awakening today :)

Both of these are excellent. So creepy.
Which if you are having trouble finding are titled Ringu and Ju-On respectively. Ju-On is available on Netflix atm.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

The best most upto date horror film I have seen is Sinister! Man my girlfriend ripped the piss out of me by how much I jumped at 1 bit in it haha. A excellent Horror with a good storyline.

Untraceable is a good movie.

I also like Insidious a lot.

Mama was good until the end..

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

I really enjoyed VHS, even though the main story ended flat for me, some middle stories were down right spooky awesome. I'd recommend the sci-horror Dark Skies even though a couple scenes at the end are dead on reminders of an older better sci-horror film, if only..#&%. Still a good film despite, big fan of Keri Russell. I liked Sinister also, intriguing the way the macabre mystery unravels.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

Apartment 143 is highly recommended. IMO it's slightly better than Paranormal Activity, very jumpy and leaves you with your hand in front of your eyes at most scenes. Defiantly worth a watch for horror fans like myself.

Straight away I'd strongly suggest Wind Chill, Insidious and The Awakening.

Re: Good Horror Films To Watch
 

+Insidious is very creepy and full of genuine scares
+The Shining is a horror classic, and the scenes are extremely haunting.
+The Woman in Black is damn good and full of scares'
+some of the classic 80's horror films like Candyman,Hellraiser,Halloween are awesome.
