Scariest Movie You've seen? [Archive]

28 days later was a good film, they could of made it alot better though.
no film has actually scared me for a long time, but the idea behind a few films has when i've thought to myself
'i would have made the film like this...'

a scary-ish film i watched a little while ago was 'long time dead', that was a very good eerie film till the killer became tangable then it was just pathetic. know what i mean? when you see the baddy, its not scary anymore, but when the baddy is unknown, un-seen and un-tangable then its a whole lot more scarier. for me anyway.

texas chain-saw massacre had a scary idea behind it but i was sat there thinking 'if that was me i'd punch **** out that old sheriff and that horrible blubber face thing.'

also, pulp fiction scared me. you know when that gay-man knocked butch and marcellius out in his shop then they woke up tied to a chair waiting for zed. got me thinking that you could be in a shop and the guy from behingd the counter could wack you over the head with a bat or something, then you could wake up as a gimp for your very own zed! ewwwww, thats it now! nightmares again.

Horror movies are generally pretty daft things and not really scary, but I'll have to admit that the creepy, perverse atmosphere of Se7en, starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, made me feel very uncomfortable. Oh, and I'm scared of any film involving sharks.

That's a lot of watchin' there.

Jumbo bucket of popcorn or 10 required i feel to survive that.

I'd be lying if i said i'de seen half of them ( just counted, i've seen about 1/3 of them ( a smidge more )
which means i have to watch 2/3 of that list.

if you had to pick, say, 3 of them which would they be KC, kind of a daunting list to tackle :p

Adam, yeah, some scary movies are daft. Most 'horror' movies are not scary. I find it hard to be scared when i'm laughing, so a scary movie that has me constantly smirking, is not a scary movie.
If you catch my drift.

What do you find scary in horror films? Personally, I find deep perversion, torture and sharks scary.

.... they're in order .... scariest listed first and so on....~~~

scary to me is just sheer suspense...

I film that roots me to my seat and makes me wish it was over teh entire way through, then makes my walk home absolutely petrifyied, then i go to bed, but i'm scared to switch the light off, and i can't wait for the sun to rise.
that's scary for me.
Completely immersive too. i think it's one of the harder movie genres to do successfully.

it's a shame that after seeing a scary movie once it loses some of its power. the anticipation/fear of the unknown, the suspense.
i wish i could bottle my fear after such movies.

"The Wizard of Oz" is scary, what with the mean teacher who turns into a witch, and the tornado, and then the East witch's feet shrivel up, and those creepy flying monkeys [shudder], and everything about the Wicked Witch of the West. And those creepy flying monkeys.

Kick Chick's a woman of taste isn't she?

My contributions are:
Last House on the Left

The Keep (Michael Mann version 1981), suspenseful, atmospheric

Tenebrae (Dario Argento) more of a thriller, but chock full of suspense and perversion (Yeh!)

Blue Velvet (David Lynch) is quite emotionally involving, not strictly Horror, but horrorful...

These films are harder to find here in the US, but I recommend them highly:

Ringu (Much creepier than the American remake 'The Ring')

The Eye (Only film to literally make the hairs on my neck stand up!)

Ju-On (Very scary film and the Japanese director is making a US version)

I also enjoy slasher flims although they don't scare me that much. Candyman, TCM (original), Phantasm, Halloween, Romero's zombie films, etc.

28 days didn't scare me as much as I thought it would, given everyone else's reaction. Alien scared me more. So did Rear Window, and the original Psycho would've, but I've never seen it.

Fallen and Se7en were the first films I thought of when I read the title, but they're already listed, so I'll just give you some material for when you run out of films: the works of H.P. Lovecraft--read after dark, in silence, and alone--are some of the better hair-*****ling moments I've ever had.

A movie called Believers - it's about voodoo. Think Serpent and the Rainbow but ten times worse - it'll scare you sxxtless.

'The Exorcist', 'Evil Dead' and 'The Innocents' are the ones that scared me growing up.

That TV special 'Ghost Watch' frightened the sh!t out of me as well.

See i saw the american one first and fight that sacrier. But every one i know who saw ringu first found that one scarier. And vice versa.

And i didn't find it scary after the first time isaw it. It was REALLY scary inthe cinema.

I wasn't sacred by 28 days later tho. Maybe "thrilled" but it ws just a really cool film.

The blair Witch Project. 100% without a doubt the most disturbing film I've ever seen... it's that last scene... scares me just thinking about it :(

29-Dec-2003, 08:09 PM

The scariest film I have ever seen is Arachnophobia, but purely because I had a morbid fear of spiders and harvestmen.

I love watching "scary movies" such as Phantasm, Hellraiser, The Multilator, and Stagefright - they don't 'scare' me in a good way, which I like :P

However, I refuse to watch films with 'Grey' aliens in. Thats because of my past...

Mine has to be the Japanese version of the Ring. An excellent film though! I'd like to watch "The Eye" though. It looks good.

What do people think about the Japanese sequels to the Ring? I thought they were a bit disappointing, but "Ring-O" was better than "Ring 2."

i totally adore horror films esp the class hammer horrors theyre sooo cheesy but you gotta love them....i wasn't too impressed with 28 days...good idea but not really that scary....my fave has to be the original psycho....al hitchcock is the man!!!also friday the 13th was pretty scary the first time i seen that but i was about 10......the best films as kick chick says is the one with suspense and that they don't disclose the killer...keeps ya guessin...i like that!!!

silver_radd

05-Jan-2004, 03:20 PM

the original "the ring" and the follow up were mega scary....you don't know what that thing was doin to them but your imagination ran riot and you just conjure up all sorts of mayhem! i never went to see the remakes....i hate the fact someone brings out the exact same movie...except with better detail or gore i think it ruins it....

Ghost Frog

05-Jan-2004, 03:22 PM

The first Alien film does it for me, but also the bit in Training Day where the young cop gets realises that the older cop has left him behind in the house with the hispanic gangsters. That has got to be a scary moment.

No film has ever scared me, but Texas Chainsaw Massacure, my fav horror, has to be the scariest.

NEVER seen a scary movie since I saw The Face on the internet... you know, the thing where they say look at this room, and then a face pops up and tries to eat you...

Fell out of my chair, ran downstairs, and nearly cried (my friend did t though!), but I'm happy I saw it. I've never been so scared in my life, and now I don't get scared as much anymore. :)

Spoilers in this post!

Few films manage to scare me, but a couple have recently...
First off, The Ring...not too bad on video, but in the cinema i creamed my pants to the max...so phsycologically disturbing (the whole tape, the crazy horse etc;) coupled with things that kept making you jump (like that first girls face).....

Second was Signs....in the cinema anyway....I found it terrifying because, as has been mentioned previously, fear of the unknown is the worst kind...seeing only bits and pieces of the alien lets your sick twisted imagination do all the work...plus the whole concept of "the world is going to end, but the interesting thing is this could possibly happen someday"....reminded me of War of the Worlds....yick....

Anyway, now some requests of me own, hehe

One, Kwajman, could you tell me about this Asylum movie? Asylums are my favourite buildings, especially the old ones, hehe
and on a side note, i was scared of the omen until damiens mother got knocked through the balcony in her house....she fell slow motion, then near the bottom she pulled off a perfect 180 degree wire turn and fell face first on the camera....i cracked up, lol.

Anyway...Two, Poop-Loops.....was that the one where there's someone's kitchen, and it says "whats wrong with this picture?", and eventually a face shows up and screams? If it is, i cant remember it trying to eat me...lol.......if that wasnt it, i dont suppose you know where i could find it again? :D I've got some friends i want to destroy...erm, i mean play with, hehe.

Thanks for your time -Ciao for now

you seem to know you're horror flix.i'm wondering if you ever saw this one really creepy flick.it's in black and white and it's probably from the 50's or early 60's.i remember seeing parts of it when i was around 5 years old and it creeped me out so badly.i only specifically remember the woman going around putting an ugly mask on people's faces when they were like passed out on the ground and putting the mask on they're faces made they're face turn all ugly and grotesque.i was terrified of that happening to me when i went to sleep so i started sleeping under the covers at night curled into a ball.i'd like to know what the name of this horribly evil flick was. :eek:

normally it takes a lot in a movie to scare me, if its genera gruesome stuff then i know they are just actors and im sitting in my living room in no danger.

spielbergs genious in Jaws immersed me enough to make me scared though. same with sixth sense.
jeepers creepers was quite creepy until the huge truck driver became a demon - that was stupid.

What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?-Qis

First that took my night's sleep away:

The Exorcist (I was 12 years old when I watched. My parents were crazy when they took me to see it :cry:)

Later it came:

The Changeling (bloody psychological horror, awesome!), Friday 13th (I was 14 years old and I couldn'd sleep that night), The Shining (this tok the crap out of me as well. Couldn't get a decent sleep that night either)

In between:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Sixth Sense

Latest:

The Ring (very scary the scene when the ghost exits the TV set :eek:)

I also found Saw disturbing

All zombie-related movies make me laugh ( :D ) including the Evil Dead series ( :D :D ). But the only ones that tickled me a bit are the first zombie movie (The Night of the Living Dead) and the daunting British film 28 days later.

I heard that the latest horror flick, The Hills Have Eyes (http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movies/hills.php), is highly disturbing.

But today I had enough of this genre. I quit.

DC.

Exorcist II was really bad, I don't know anyone who thought it was good, I certainly didn't, which is why I never bothered when Exorcist III came out expecting like most people more of the same drivel. Then a few years later I picked it up from blockbuster as part of a 2 for the price of 1 deal, and WOW. It was undoubtedly the scariest film I've ever watched.

There's very little in terms of action and no gore at all until right at the end (which is the only dissapointing part of the film), but they mess with your mind and have you on the edge of your seat right up until then. Really good acting and dialogue as well. I think it's a quality film that hasn't ever got the attention it deserves.

28-Mar-2006, 02:28 PM

Maybe it's just me - but the first 30 minutes of The Village scared the utter crap out of me... I almost squeeled at one point.

Then it got kinda, well, not so scary.

28-Mar-2006, 02:31 PM

The scariest film I ever saw was the recent remake of 'King Kong'.

I spent three hours fearing that I would be actually go stark raving mad and run naked down the aisle of the cinema throwing popcorn at everyone.

Which might have cast a shadow over my son's birthday party.

28-Mar-2006, 08:07 PM

Yeah, definitely The Shining (saw that as a kid, too). Carrie (saw it as a kid, really, what were people trying to do to me back then?). The thing about carrie was the last scene for me as a kid.

The Ring was frightening in a twisted, psychologically disturbing way--which are the types of scary movies I like to see. I am not a fan of slasher flicks.

The Grudge certainly had its moments. And I will agree that the opening 30 minutes of The Village were creepy.

OK, enough of this!

I'm pretty much over the whole scared of boogey man movies so vampire movies, zombie movies, ghost movies, etc. don't really scare me much anymore.

There was this scene in a movie called Copycat with Sigourney Weaver that did make me check my doors though.

Sigourney played a serial killer profiler who had the fear of leaving her house. She couldn't go outside to do her shopping or go to the movies or anything. She had to have an assistant do everything outside the house for her. Well one night she wakes up and hears someone in the house. She finds the power has been cut. She sneaks downstairs to leave but when she gets to the door she can't leave because of her phobia. She tries to but almost passes out. So she has to go back into the house. The next few minutes are of her trying to fight her phobia of leaving her house or waiting for the serial killer in the dark...

I'm not afraid to leave the house but just imagining yourself in that situation is a bit freaky. :eek:

I'd like to start by saying I'm the biggest wuss watching horror movies. I'm the guy in the back turning away from the screen, looking at the top left corner, unfocusing my eyes, or holding a freaking pillow in front of my face when a scary part happens. That being said...

I don't see why everyone's saying 28 days later. It was one of the least scary horror movies I've ever seen. My friends told me that it was the scariest movie theyd ever seen, so I wanted to see it. When I saw it, I was excited for the first 20 minutes (music was good too). After that, nothing happened the ENTIRE movie. Except for brief action sequences later, the zombies did nothing. If you say 28 days later is scary, why not resident evil?

Village was interesting :). I liked it, but wouldn't call it scary.

I'd say exorcist or the grudge.

01-Apr-2006, 03:27 PM

Well, at the age of I think four I got to see my first scary movie. Don't ask why my dad wanted me to see it but I did. I remember one scene from it which consists of a gigantic man/monster invading a room where two kids are crouched underneath a bed while the room was dark.

The second scary movie, and at that time it did scare the beejeesus out of me, was "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". I especially didn't like the ripping out the heart part and the insects/spiders in the chamber.

The latest really scary movie I saw was "The House of Wax" .If you imagine going to Madame Taussards and actually knowing each of these ppl could have been alive a few seconds before than you probably have an idea why. There is an especially nasty part in that movie where the two main characters of the story fight together in the "wax" figure cabinet and accidentally chop off half the face of one of the guys faces, that was just sprayed in wax moments before. Even though the face is in wax, the skin underneath is real still and the guys eyes moves as he gets it shopped off.

Another one is "Mind Hunters" . Set on an island five potential recruits get send on a mission to hunt down a virtual killer who turns out real. If you like psychological thrillers and mind games this is something for you. And knowing this dude really gets into the mind of these ppl it does get scary.

^^^^ brrrr....

couldnt sit through all that.

OK, I never think of a whole movie being scary. However one of the scariest 'moments' is definatly in a Hong Kong movie, called The Eye. Basic story is that a girl whose been blind all her life has a eyes transplant (age 30) she starts to see ghosts and it frightens her, but because shes been blind all her life she doesnt know whether or not its a normal thing for people to see them.

The scariest moment. She goes into a empty lift, the door closes, she suddenly feels a ghost right behind her. Its floating slowly towards her, as she is terrified and is constantly waiting for the lift to stop at her floor.

Love that scene.....so well done.

Satori81

02-Apr-2006, 01:07 AM

I was pretty freaked out from "The Grudge" and "The Ring". The selective gore, the creepy movements (I hate that jerky "Ghost Walk"), the overall "Something bad is gonna happen" feel...if you like scary movies, then I'd suggest those.

I also found parts of "House on Haunted Hill" and the new "13 Ghosts" pretty scary. All the new special effects allowed some bizarre scenes to come alive.

RazorKaine

02-Apr-2006, 07:32 AM

The Exorcist. The movie is based on a story of an ACTUAL exorcist that the movie director heard about and then decided to make a movie about one. Not based on any truth. Still a great movie to see.
.

Agree totally.
Seen at 11 yo, didn't sleep all night.
And even now, every time I see it, I feel very uneasy.

The Exorcist of Emily Rose, according to my dad (I didn't see it, yet), is very scary.

I liked a lot The Blair Witch Project, I found it scary, but only because I was in that kind of old cemetaries/dilapidated old houses exploration crap in those times.

02-Apr-2006, 08:48 AM

The Exorcist of Emily Rose, according to my dad (I didn't see it, yet), is very scary.The only thing I found scary about that was the fact that I spent £7 to see that pile of crap. I thought it was awful
I haven't really been "scared" by a film since I saw Jaws when I was a little kid (to this day, rubber sharks worry me), but when I saw The Decent, there was a pretty high jump-factor. The bit where they've got the night vision camera out and that beastie's standing by the girls actually made my friend scream out loud in the cinema! We're still taking the piss out of her over that :D

The Exorcist was the first scary movie I saw. Yech. If anything scarred me for life, it was that. But the one that really SCARED me the most was The Ring. *shudder* That was the last scary movie I'll ever see in theaters. I actually went home and cried.

But the movie that really deserves the honors here is The Rocky Horror Picture Show. :D

The original "Alien" chestburster scene still scares the crap outta me everytime I see it.
It's strange, I don't go in for horror movies as such because they get inside my head too easily (the price of an overactive imagination :cry: :D), but violence/gore doesn't bother me in the slightest. When I first saw the chestburster scene I actually laughed, I think it was the bit when it squakwed then scuttled off over the floor that did it. :D

Tansy

06-Apr-2006, 02:25 PM

scary, I would have to say the Japanese movies are just plain odd and make you go huh? at the same time as being jumpy. I liked:

The Grudge or Ju-On
Ringu was pretty good
Battle Royale, although not a horror it had allot of tomarto ketchup!

I would recomened this weird Korean movie 'Tale of Two Sisters' and anouther 'Whispering Corridors'.The first was dark and more of a drama the second was strange.

Other wise horror movies can be rubbish these days, all you get is some bird running around with bright white teeth and wearing hardly anything and ending up in a cellar with a killer+knife in stupid costume zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

There is actually a funny Mel Brooks version of that scene in a bar in "Space Balls" where first you see the chestburster jump out, with all the gore, etc. and then all of a sudden he wears a hat and tiny jacket and sings a Frank Sinatra song and dances on the bar table, lol. :D :D

Though I still think "christ get out of the damn kitchen!" during the raptor scene in Jurassic Park.
The effects haven't really dated so badly in it, where the flock of galimimus chases them and they hide behind a shaking log you could laugh out loud. But when the T.Rex breaks free it still looks like a T.Rex is breaking free.

I saw that at the cinema my little sister jumped at the lamb leg on the roof and I loved the T-Rex. Especially the bit where it attacks the kids head on...literally.

i havent read all the posts in this thread, has anyone mentioned jacobs ladder ? this is an oldie but a goldie i think, very freaky, and silent hill for the ps2 had a lot of influence from this film i think.

scary, I would have to say the Japanese movies are just plain odd and make you go huh? at the same time as being jumpy. I liked:

The Grudge or Ju-On
Ringu was pretty good
Battle Royale, although not a horror it had allot of tomarto ketchup!

Finally! Someone who doesn't think The Grudge remake sucked! :D

I love horror films, though Ju-On (Jap. original) and The Grudge are by the scariest I've seen. They don't need special effects or buckets of blood, they're pure psychological, paranormal horror at its best. Tense from begging to end and the only films I can remember to feature a scary scene every time you hit scene skip button on a DVD! :D

The US version of The Ring was a bit too focused on story, though I still can't explain to this day why a black and white girl crawling out of a TV set gives me goosebumps! :D

I saw the original Halloween when I was 11 and I couldn't sleep at all that night, another scary classic.

28 Days Later is pretty good, though I liked the way it was filmed as much as the actual horror.

(and Battle Royale was insanely OTT, but that's probably why I liked it! :D)

I don't really get scared from any horror films but i'd have to say the films which are *more* freaky are those which are more realistic in the way they are portrayed and/or could be true such as The Entity, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Hostel. Films about sick freaks where you think that there probably are real life versions of somewhere out there. That's the only really scary element of a good horror film :woo:

I found The Exorcist to be extremely un-scary, & also unintentionally funny.

One film which I think was a major let-down as a horror was Jeepers Creepers. Started out promisingly enough, although not very original. But then they removed any chance of it being an effective horror by revealing the bad guy to be some sort of sub-Buffy-monster, so removing any believability & so any horror.

I would enjoy Brixton Chav Masacre.

The two little girls in The Shining never fail to get me hiding behind a cushion!

saw scared me a little, but i was with like 10 other people and we were constantly joking around. i propbably would cake my pants if i sae it on my own though

28 days later was good, i never see how it was horror though, it was too fast paced, i thought it was more actioney.

i can't think of any more at the minute, cos i don't watch a lot anyway,

i heard the audition was scary as hell.

Horror movies never really have scared me much, I think it has to do with the fact that in my mind I look at it as not being real. When it comes closer to reality is when it starts to effect me.

In fact this may sound stupid but one movie that creeped me out so bad that I couldn't stop looking over my shoulder was 'The Blair Witch'... this was mostly because I'd seen the documentary on it first and was sucked into the story and convinced it was based on true events... I've since heard it was all a set up. But first saw that movie I was seriously freaked!!

I found The Ring to be scary. Films like TexasCSM and Hostel just disturb me.

Agreed, the ring was a far better film. Played with your mind instead of throwing loads of gore on-screen to make up for a weak plot...

Men Behind the Sun and In the Laboratory of the Devil were made by the same filmmaker.Both had shocking depictions of what the Japanese forces did experimenting on Chinese prisoners during WWII.Very ugly.

Ichi the Killer is good for gore.Cube and Cube Zero are good for suspense and gore.

Evita, (shiver) I was frightened for the whole day.

Um, when I was a kid it was Child's Play (scared he might hide underneath my bed), Nightmare on Elm St. (always reminded myself I didn't live on that street), and zombie movies (COME ON, the dead walks!).

Now.......hm, don't get scared too much. Sure I make jump from time to time at a 'monster/person coming out of the shadows' scene. Or from anticipation but then I laugh when it happens or just smile. But haven't been scared of a movie since then.

Halloween / II
Last House on the Left (mind numbing disturbing)
I Spit on your Grave (also mind numbing disturbing)
Cigerette Burns (deep movie plot)
Silent Hill (disturbing and a complex plot)
Friday the 13th
Sleepaway Camp
High Tension

Hm, and Alien....... Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth

I just saw Kairo, which was probably one of the creepiest films I've watched for years.

well since im not a 12 year old girl the idea of being scared by a movie is pretty laughable. but when i was about 6-7 I watched Peter Jacksons "braindead" which scared me half to death and gave me nightmares for a week.

When i watch it now its actually pretty funny, but when you are seven years old you don't notice how unrealistic and low budget it is :D

yeah I was about 11 yrs old and fright night scared the crap out of me, the part with the old lady cooking human parts in the oven..

I like:

The Ring

Pumpkinhead (my girlfriend doesn't, but it's awesome) -"god d**** you!" "he already has son, he already has."

Blue Moon: I believe this is the correct title. It's an old german horror movie where a teenage son goes crazy and kills his entire family. They didn't have the red tape with cadavers back then and the crew used cadavers for the gore scenes. One was ripped in half!

Rawhead Rex: cheaply made british horror where daughter is kidnapped by a giant troll-like monster. Later in the movie the creature has a priest follower that kneels before it and rips his shirt open, holds his head back with his eyes closed in ecstasy and moans, "baptize me, baptize me!" Then some glue-like substance sprays from the creatures waist area and covers the priest... AWESOME!
