Best horror movies you've ever watched?

Oh damn, that movie was the first and last movie to freak me out so much. One of my brothers told me he ran out of the cinema half way to vomit because it was a real story. I was living out in the bush on a horse stud at the time and was very easily spooked. Then when Wolf Creek came out I was living near Belanglo State Forest. Didnt scare me at all which was disppointing.

1. Funny Games (1997)
2. The Witch
3. Wait Until Dark
4. The Blair Witch Project +
5. [REC] +
6. Invasion of the Body Snatchers +
7. The Wicker Man (1973) +

The Ring still scares me to this day. Since then we've kind of been inundated with the creepy Japanese remakes but when the Ring came out it was so new and original.

The Thing
The Fly
Alien
Jaws
Videodrome
Eraserhead

I was abused relentlessly on another forum for saying I thought A Serbian Film was well made for the genre, by someone who had never seen it and was calling for it to be banned (which it then was but I dont think it had much to do with her letter campaign to the christian Wont You Think Of The Children Lobby Group)

Is that the remake you mean or the Japanese Ringu? I liked the remake better personally.

It's not that often that I'll see something and react so badly against it but it happened with this. I just found it unwatchable, sadly – worse still the distortions gave me an idea for reinventing the scenes that would have been far more scary and a better complement to the film.

One of the many YouTube reactions stood out for me so I'm posting it here:

Exactly what I thought. You may know the film well enough to decode what's happening but it's better if, as a viewer, you can process something clearly without that.

Hey-ho .

I would say "A Serbian Film" is extreme cinema..not really a horror film. I own the DVD. Extreme cinema is more shocking than how horror makes one feel. I have seen a pornographic horror film which makes one feel unnerved and sick more than scared.

Definitely Extreme genre. It didnt scare me. Just really upset me for days. Put me on a real downer, but that didnt stop me rewatching it. Not a joyful experience, that's for sure, although some viewers found it really funny. I cant see the humour but we all have different PoVs

I enjoy extreme cinema but I love the adrenaline feel of horror.

Yes. I enjoy sprinklings of extreme in between my usual viewing to make me feel emotions I dont normally feel on a day to day basis eg ASF made me cry internally for days. Horror I watch for the scare factor because it's fun, but dont think a movie has scared me for a long time. Maybe The Strangers and The Tunnel - I watched both about 3am with all the lights out when my husband was away for work. Got really spooked by both. It was more the atmosphere I set up than anything you know, creeky floorboards, surround sound and banging on the door came from the direction of my front door behind me. Laughed a lot about that when Mr D got home.

Nothing has made me feel uncomfortable or scared in a lonnngg time. Maybe because I have seen the worst type of film anyone can watch. I'm numb to everything even the real horrors of life.

Just reading some of the others posts, I left out some big ones. Scream, The Descent and Blair Witch project are fantastic. So disappointing at what Scream turned into. The original was generally frightening imo.

Edit Texas chainsaw massacre

many of the films u mentioned are not horror movies my friend, these are scifi horror, and videodrome is totally out of it, the only one u mentioned as horror is jaws

the entity for me is one of the best horror films ever, very very good film

wrtong thread.

No order -

Antichrist
Cannibal Holocaust
Pieces
City of the Living Dead
Sleepaway Camp
The Innocents
Last House on the Left
Suspiria
der Todesking

Haven’t seen a lot of them. Does cannibal holocaust stand the test of time like Texas c m does?

I would say so. Great soundtrack too.
