Favorite Horror Movies - roro. - 2008-07-29

[COLOR="mediumorchid"]I`d like to know which horror/thriller movies are worth watching with friends. Some of the ones we`ve seen looked really interesting in the trailers, but ended up having a lame storyline or ending - aka it sucked. So I`d just like to know your opinions and stuff ;p

Maybe list your favorites and/or recommendations, in this format:

Comments: Nice suspense. I didn`t really like the ending.
Overall rating (out of 5): 4.5/5

Favorite Horror Movies - Berzerk - 2008-08-01

Um, most of the Horrorfest movies. Mainly Dark Ride, Penny Dreadful, Unrest and The Hamiltons from 2006's Horrorfest. The Deaths of Ian Stone and Lake Dead we're pretty good from 2007. Also, I love the whole Saw franchise. It's funny, I just switched my Avatar and User Title an hour ago. =P

Descriptions:

Dark Ride
Ten years after he brutally murdered two girls, a killer escapes from a mental institution and returns to his turf, the theme park attraction called "Dark Ride".

The Hamiltons
A picture-perfect American family is always kind, loving and respectful to their neighbors except that they usually wind up killing them.

Penny Dreadful
A young girl and her therapist take a road trip to help her overcome her phobia of riding in cars. This trip turns deadly as an escaped mental patient starts a new spree of killings.

Unrest
A med student collapses upon sensing a "presence" about her cadaver. Her fears are strengthened by the mysterious death of a friend. She must discover the connection before an angry spirit can wreak further vengeance.

The Deaths of Ian Stone
Starring Mike Vogel in the title role, along with Christina Cole, Jaime Murray, and Michael Dixon. The films revolves around Ian Stone who is in a constant cycle of dying at night only to wake up with a different life.[5]

Lake Dead
A group of teenagers inherit a motel on a lake, only to uncover a series of dark and frightening family secrets.

Everyone knows Saw. =P

Thank you Wikipedia for these wonderful descriptions.

Movie title: Feast
Release date (Month/Year): 2005
Description: They're Hungry. You're Dinner.

Comments: I am not really into horror movies but I found this one to be quite scary. I had nightmares for a few days afterwards. It's very gore-y ( if that's even a real word )

Henry Rollins and Judah Friedlander are in it so it's pretty amusing in some parts.

A few comments on the others posted...

1408 was really bad if you read the book. What the hell was up with the "monster" in the air ducts? That was just bad...the whole idea was to make people question if it was the room doing it or if it was just the guy slowly falling into madness.

Saw turned into an "mtv" horror series after part 1. Anything from Saw 2 and on was just horrible. 3 and 4 didn't even have a plot, it was just "lets see how many ways we can kill people". Sadly, unlike Final Destination (which wasnt that bad of a movie), it wasn't very well done.

You want a good "horror" movie?

When I read the description, it made it sound like it was just like all the other "in the woods in a cabin scary movie". Is it different then the newer ones like this?

Oh my god yes...if not for the fact of how campy it is, the sheer humor in it. They did it to try to be a serious movie of sorts with the first but it was so bad it was hilarious. They gave up by the second one and just tried to make it as "awesome" as they could, so to speak. That lead to Army of Darkness, which is just amazing. This right here is the reason Bruce Campbell is seen as a god in the eyes of many (and why Sam Raimi, the director, got to do much bigger movies, like the Spiderman movies).

I'll have to check these out then. I love those old 80's horror movies. They are just epic.

I'm not a horror movie fan but 'The Hills have Eyes' sorta freaked me out...

The original or the remake?

I would figure that there are a few types of horror movies, ya got your situational(The Birds), your action(evil dead might be a part of this, although its partially a comedy) and your gore(saw, hostel).

Spoiler

Situational is one of the best(IMO), giving a rather sweet ending that leaves you fearful of the situation that is presented upon the characters. Some other examples of this would be The Myst(the ending was even accepted by King even though it wasn't written that way) and Sphere(bad example i know).

Action is somewhere around the middle, giving you a fair bit of blood with some gore and passing on what is a grim situation. 1408 would be a part of this, along with Event Horizon(though it is science fiction).

Gore is usually going for the violence, usually skipping the bigger scale. Saw(what may be the only movie series in recent history that could be related to a seasonal holiday) and Hostel go for this, but another example would be the hitcher remake.

The remake version, god it freaked me out just to watch it for a bit (yes I'm a wuss, you don't have to point it out...).
I really hate gore, it simply makes me wanna throw up.

I'm sorry but how the hell did this movie scare you? It was a comedy, the monsters humped for godsake. The guy who you thought was going to be the main character dies 30 seconds after they show him. This movie wasn't total crap but certainly not a scary movie whatsoever.

Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are more comedy than anything else.
and for that matter so is the first half of Evil Dead. <3 Bruce Glitter

Uhhh..... I like the ORIGINAL Exorcist. One of the few movies that can still scare the pomegranate out of me. As for entertaining scary movies.... THE SAW SERIES FTW.

Favorite Horror Movies - GMSInfighter - 2008-10-10

Either the original [Rec] (Quarantine) or the Saw series.

The saw series CAN be classified as horror, but it's also very psychological. He gives people choices, but those two choices lead to death no matter what. Whether it's being trapped to a rib ripping mechanism and the only way of escaping is dipping your hand into the jar full of acid to get the key.. or to being strapped by heavy chains from your ankles, back of the neck, elbows, back, and of course.. the JAW. You can either beat the clock and rip out all the chains, or just wait till your body is in 1 million different places.

I give this series a 5/5.
