i watched this film the other day: dont go into expect expect a full on -clenching horror. its got a nice atmosphere and is a super fun ride, but thats all
Thank you. Someone finally agrees with me about the Descent.
Thought that movie was laughable.
deletedalmost 10 years
All of these people mentioning The Blair Witch Project...
As far as horror films go, it probably received the most laughable response from the movie critics on release than any other relatively modern horror.
As for modern releases, Drag Me To Hell was probably the only one that somewhat unsettled me
Just to note, The Descent had terrible actors and a terrible plot. The film starts out with a lot of promise, the worry of claustrophobia and being trapped is far more scary than some crappy CGI weird zombie things. 1/10..
Your recommendations are as follows:
Alien/Aliens The Omen 28 Days Later Child's Play The Texas Chainsaw Massacre House of a Thousand Corpses The Hitcher (original) Se7en Hellraiser Drag Me To Hell Silience of the Lambs, Hannibal, Red Dragon Session 9 - More so for the concept.
Pet Sematary The Lost Boys Blade (one and two..the third was a joke) Queen of the Damned Exorcism of Emily Rose The Blair Witch Project The Poltergeist The Omen Stigmata
I love classical/cult horror movies. Yeah these movies aren't really scary, but I liked them anyway haha.
also i can *almost* guarantee that if an american horror film is a remake of a japanese one then the original will always be better, scarier and more fun to watch (ringu, ju-on etc)
My favourite types of scary movies are the ones that focus on atmosphere and psychological terror, rather than pure jump scares. Based on that, amongst my favourites have to be Ju-on, one of the few movies to actually scare me, Dark Skies, despite being not scary but really thought provoking, and Momma, which I find masterfully sets up a brilliant atmosphere and sense of fear without relying on jumpscares or grotesque monsters.
