Scary Movies... of late

How about 28 Days Later? That is pretty creepy. I think The Blair Witch Project is effective, also.

Also creepy, atmospheric and occasionally quite bloody is HP Lovecraft's Dagon, directed by Stewart Gordon . That movie is well worth looking up.

Someone mentioned Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. Yeah, that is a classic creepfest. Even by today's standards.

A really scary, supernatural film from the late 70s is The Sentinel. Find it if you can.

oh god yes i forgot about that. i went to see that with a friend from uni...it scared me while i was watching it and we sat there holding onto each other much like scooby and shaggy. when i got home from walking through a creepy industrial estate which we thought would be a short cut but wasnt and creeped us out coz it was like a scene in the film (but without the zombies...although people have said i look gormless sometimes). i was in my bed for about 10 minutes before i fell asleep that night thinking of the possiblities of a zombie jumping through my window and eating my brains.

I jus think Horror is the worst genre, most horror movie are the same, not all of them, some I am interested in seeing like May but very few others, and I'm not the only one who hates horror, I know so many people that hate horror just like me, say whatever you want to me I'll just keep saying I think horror is a dumb genre

That is right in so many ways. (I LOVE The Devil's Backbone. It didn't really scare me as much as it did touch me, so I didn't mention it....but it is one great movie.)

Also, it's just Beale.

House on Haunted Hill (1999) has always been a freaky movie for me.
I haven't seen the original of The Ring, but the hollywood remake wasn't that bad.

I don't find Freddy, Jason, or Myers scary either anymore, I see them more as icons of horror instead of "the bad guy who kills everyone and never dies."

Another movie that was "different" was Long Time Dead.
It's not the scariest I've seen, but it was good none-the-less.

Does anyone know if Ring 2 and Ring 0 are better than the original?

I never said the words "horror fans are stupid"!I have tons of freinds that love horror, all I said is I hate horror, there's nothing wrong with that, thats my opinion.Also thank you very much for that, I think your a d*ck to.I only wanna see 1 horror movie in this world, "May".

I haven't seen either of the other Ringu movies, so I too would like to know what you guys think of them.

Welcome to the forum Hekx!

I've seen Ringu, Ring O and Ring 2.

Ringu hits all the right nerves. It's the best of the three if you want that little mystery, the other two spoil it a bit.

Ring 2 is by far the most confusing of the three so if anyone doesn't get Ringu you'll be even more confused with this one. It certainly has its spooky moments and is pretty darn good but don't expect a repeat of familiar territory. A hit or miss depending on how into the whole Ring experience you are.

Ring O is less horror then the other two but is on par with the original for entertainment. If you intend to only watch one other Ring film watch this! It explains without being overly abstract, unlike Ring 2. The horror is more subtle yet also more profound then compared to Ringu as well. It's on equal footing as my favourite with Ringu, it's that good.

There's also Rasen and Ring Virus in the Japanese collection to get your teeth into (I have yet to see either). Rasen is supposed to be bad and best avoided. Ring 2 skips Rasen's plot yet still follows directly after Ringu. So Rasen and Ring 2 is a case where you choose your ending.

For the absolute knowledge of the world of Ringu go here....
