I Spit On Your Grave

cinnamongrrl · 12-18-2014, 08:20 PM

I was quite young when I saw it but, The Shining always scared me silly....

and the original Friday the 13th. I went to camp about 2 weeks after seeing this (thanks dad) and wouldn't go in the water because of the final scene...which...I believe...is the only time you actually see Jason I the entire movie....hmmm

That was back in the day when implied fear meant more than spoon feeding an audience....(hello Rob Zombie I mean you!)

JDeere · 12-18-2014, 08:21 PM

I love horror movies but one I can NOT watch by myself is The Exorcist movies!

Venus007 · 12-19-2014, 04:31 AM

"The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock, it scared the bejezus out of me when I was a kid, no movie has quite had that impact since

*Anya* · 12-19-2014, 07:39 AM

The movie that is still scariest to me is the original: Night of the Living Dead.

The black and white, the slow zombies, the newscasts; all of it adds to the feeling of impending doom.

I think it is George Romero's best.

(I noticed after I wrote this post that I had mentioned the same movie a couple of years ago in this thread).

imperfect_cupcake · 12-19-2014, 12:44 PM

I didn't find the American version of The Ring to be as scary as the original. The original version actually scared the living crap out of me - that girl.... Ugh. Plus it was the first time certain kinds of unnatural jerky unjointed movements were used in horror and that was an incredible impact. Plus the usual solution of "putting body to rest" didn't work. That evil little girl would not be stopped.

I don't scare easy. I love dark and disturbing thrillers and horror based on tension and physiological twisting rather than gore. Gore puts me off and I get bored. The saw movies bored the shit out of me.

So the original ring and I recall the shining gave me the willies.

I recently watched the Australian film "the Babadook" because it got %100 from the critics and it was a crowd funded first movie from a fabulously ingenious woman. It is incredibly well done and the story, along with the horror, is really well developed and well done. There is no gore, just high tension and plot twists. It's about an evil spirit that entres through a children's book and a child with emotional and anxiety issues and his single mom who is at wits end and misses her dead husband.

I was at the edge of my see with a huge smile on my face from how tense it was. Most of the critics said "genuinely terrifying story" - I wasn't scared personally but it's definitely a favourite of mine now of that genera

not sure that it was so much "scary" as just deeply disturbing, was the film Jacob's Ladder. I don't know if it has been mentioned here or not, so forgive me if it has.

The descent into madness/hell is always largely frightening to me.

This scene was the first time I saw the use of freaking body movements/jerks and it has always stuck with me...

imperfect_cupcake · 12-20-2014, 01:24 PM

Yeah, I love Jacobs ladder. I deeply loved that movie but it gives me flashbacks and anxiety attacks, so can't watch it. His dissociative PTSD flashbacks and reality switching was so close and accurate to what I went through during mine, the confusion, deeply disturbing mental interruptions, violent flashes, the dissociation, the panic... In my early 20s it was just way too close to home.

But it is so well done. I loved that film. Lol I just could t watch it.
I wouldn't really call it a horror though. Physiological thriller - which is one of my favourite genres. Nordic Noir does intensely good crime/psychological thriller. "Let the right one in" "the bridge" "the killing" "troll hunter" "the girl who kicked the hornets nest" "Miss smilla's sense for snow" and a few others. If you don't mind subtitles, Nordic Noir films (not a company, it's just a term for dark, tense, nordic thrillers) are intelligent, wry and fantastic.

But it is so well done. I loved that film. Lol I just could t watch it.

THIS exactly! I am a huge fan of anything that can keep me guessing...that can keep my fight or flight on full alert! LOL>.. when I can't find it, I make it... grinz...

Let the Right One In.. along with several titles you mentioned are among some of my fav viewed... The Killing (series) I totally loved. was so sad to see it end...

Great taste! Thank you!

deathbypoem · 12-27-2014, 11:35 AM

Hmm.. This is difficult for me because I think most horror movies suck!
And, I'm not one for campy horror
or cheesy horror. If it's going to scare me,
please damn well do a good job.
With that said I have a few horror/thriller
movies that I really like. Although, they have to be realistic
and the possibility of it actually happening..
well to me that is scary enough.

lol, I'm the opposite. I scare so easily, it's embarrassing. Pretty much any movie with ghosts scares me (even though I don't believe in ghosts)!

I think the scariest movies I've ever seen are probably The Shining and Carrie, but this is prob because I never watch many scary movies. I couldn't sleep for awhile after Carrie.

Me, too. I tried to watch American Horror Story because Angela Bassett and Jessica Lange were (are?) in it, but I was jumping as soon as it started and gave up within 5 minutes.

I can watch zombie movies. Loved Night of the Living Dead ("they're coming to get you Barbara" ... "Stop it, Johnny, stop it") but only as long as the zombies move slowly.

Cailin · 12-27-2014, 02:06 PM

different levels and factors of fear

I can watch almost any scary/horror flick and be ok. I love candyman for the love story as well as hellraiser. Friday 13th, Nightmare on elm street, walking dead, etc. All good movies. But they don't scare me

now laugh if you must, but the only movies to instill fear into my heart: Leprechaun, and Arachnaphobia.

Arachnaphobia will have me perched on the couch, slapping the back of my head and swiping my arms to make sure a spider isn't crawling on me. Saw it when I was 8, and never again.

and Leprechaun.. well... that's a whole different fear.

WickedFemme · 12-27-2014, 02:09 PM

Creepiest scary movies:
The Conjuring scared the crap out of me.
The Exorcist - of course.
The Ring - creepy
Silent Hill - scary

I'm sure I've mentioned this movie before but, it is still the only movie that made me scream "oh shit" out loud. Just freaky!

I loveddd American Horror Story....but the further I got into the series, the more unwilling I got to watch it when I was alone ..I don't scare easily, but some of the stuff gets in your head...and once it's in there, it's very hard to purge...but I respect the intelligence of American Horror, and the acting is amazing. I've ALWAYS loved Jessica Lange. What HASN'T she done well??

I also heard Kathy Bates was in a recent season. Love her too. I have a lot of catching up to do apparently lol. WHEN...I'm not alone...which I won't be any more
