Love a good horror. The exorcist is great and effective today. Rosemary’s baby is also great, so is Jaws. Modern day best I’d hand to the Conjuring 1.

House of Wax

Call it a slasher if you like, but so much about this movie is great. The mystery and suspense starts when the pickup truck pulls into the characters' campsite. It is scary in a smart way until we get toward the end of the movie when it earns its slasher classification.


House of Wax would not be what it is without its cinematography. In order to preserve the twist at the end of the movie, the cinematography has to be careful and intentional at every turn. What comes to mind right away is the scene in the church. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back and watch the movie again--pay attention to that scene and observe how it is done perfectly so that you don't even question your preconceived notions of what is occurring.

I sent that to Velvet and he said it gave him a mini seizure and now he has head problems :eek:

It's great, much better than The Entity.

Some people just get a bit strange and judgie.

To the op - I watched Baskin the other night. Not bad for a directorial debut but depends on how disturbing you want to go. Horror comedy might be a better way for you to go, though.

The Conjuring, probably. The sequel was great as well; follow-ups from good horror films tend to have mediocre written all over them, but I loved that one.

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. First saw it when I was 12 and while it wasn't the gory scary, it totally messed with my head. Especially the dinner scene where the Sawyers play a complete mindf**k with Sally Hardesty as they have her tied down on the chair.

YES! Hanging the girl on the meat hook did me in. I think I cried.

And the scene where Leatherface comes up on Sally's boyfriend after he discovers the girl in the freezer...I saw from many documentaries that the actor's reaction before Leatherface's kill shot was genuine. He literally was scared as heck! LOL
