Last movie you saw, that scared the SHIT out of you?

[Archae]

Last year, "Blair Witch Project." :scared:

[Mike03]

1. Either HOSTEL or THE DESCENT

I saw them both in the same week on DVD and found them chilling. If pressed, I would give the edge to HOSTEL.

But these are not great horror films compared to truly chilling films like THE OTHERS or truly artful horror films.

ON EDIT:

Wait, what am I saying? ZODIAC. It's not nearly as gory, but it's very chilling, and I saw that after the other two films I mentioned.

[AlCzervik]

4. i loved The Descent, i watched a lot of it through my fingers.

Zodiac was good but plodding, i understand why it had to be plodding but still, a tad long. Asian Horror flicks are my new found scare fest.

[Mike03]

7. Descent is a thrilling work

I know what you mean about ZODIAC; it was structured in a very strange way, so that it trapped itself into a boring second act, but I love Fincher's work and feel that it operated on kind of a low decible, creepy level.

[AlCzervik]

10. i live in norcal so it was interesting and way creepy to see and hear the

names of the cities. I thought it was a good film but it's not for everybody. I watched The Descent alone, i am the only horror fan in my house so all scary movies are viewed solo, it always makes whatever i'm watching more scary.

[SteppingRazor]

41. I clicked on this thread intending to say "The Descent."

That was a scary one, all right. Ending was kinda dumb, but it was really scary.

[lost-in-nj]

2. I haven't watched

any scary movies lately....
to friggin old....
BUT I did buy CUJO the 25th anniversary edition....

this movie scared the shit out of me.......

and the original Halloween

:scared: :scared:

lost

[driver8]

26. The original Halloween is amazing!

Very scary, indeed!!

[alphafemale]

69. "You can't kill the Boogeyman!"

:scared:

[BlueIris]

3. "Séance."

[opiate69]

5. Open Waters

Far scarier than Jaws.

[Beausoir]

12. I have to disagree with you there.

[opiate69]

14. The fact that I kinda have a fear of open water probably had something to do with my opinion

[AlCzervik]

15. open water 2 was terrible although i kind of figured it would be.

yes i watched it anyhow. Open Water was good, it was different. The whole premise of that story is fucking horrifying.

[opiate69]

16. I haven't seen 2 yet..

actually, my wife won't watch it.. the first one freaked her out even more than it did me.. she has a MAJOR phobia about that sort of thing.. funny.. because, she LOVES horror movies.. but that movie was the only one that ever gave her nightmares

[AlCzervik]

18. ok well 2 is nothing like the original, the only thing in common is the ocean and a boat.

i watched on demand, it was under the "Free movies" section---it was free for a reason.

[Guaranteed]

63. Totally disagree. I thought the opposite.

HATED the first one. I CLAPPED at the ending. I hated those two people.

The second one, on the other hand, was actually good. There was tension in the plot, and the ending was satisfying. The characters were INTERESTING, too, amazingly.

[Initech]

6. Jesus Camp

It's like a real-life "Children Of The Corn". :scared:

[KamaAina]

8. F9/11

scared the s**t out of me for real. :scared:

[poiuytsister]

9. The Haunting

The original - goes without saying. Only ONE special effect in the whole movie. When the bedroom door pushes in the used a door made of rubber.

[amitten]

30. I rented that the other day after reading recs on DU.

It didn't scare me at all, unfortunately. And I watched it all alone in a dark room!

My favorites are:

The Shining
The Ring
Alien

[Beausoir]

11. I haven't been properly scared since Halloween , Alien and The Shining.

Kids these days.....:eyes:

[Mike03]

17. Those are two true classics

ALIEN and SHINING--not just horror masterpieces but cinematic masterpieces. There are so many fascinating theories about both of those films.

[lost-in-nj]

13. OK you want one that is scary???/

The original
House on Haunted Hill
with Vincent Price
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051744/

some of the scariest shit around...


lost

[driver8]

25. Oh yeah...that is a SCARY movie!!

I love those old horror movies...much better than the shit they crank out these days. I thought "Hostel" sucked the big one.

[rhiannon55]

55. Scared the crap out of me

when I was a child. :hide:

[Mike03]

19. You specified "recent" which is why my picks are not more exciting

Let me think about some films that truly terrified me.

[XemaSab]

20. Last year, "The Ring."

:scared:

[pitohui]

21. i don't watch much horror, but i did like that one

nicely done, creative, and it also reawakened my interest in a short story i had read years ago, "sticks" about these phenomenon in the usa northeast

another i liked was the first "the ring"

haven't really seen another horror movie since "the ring" i'm awful!

[martymar64]

22. Wolf Creek

Imagine Crocodile Dundee as a serial killer.

[hedgehog]

23. Arachnaphobia

I had to watch from the kitchen. My husband and son watched sitting on the edge of the couch, both clutching a pillow to their chests and rocking!

[fizzgig]

24. the amnityville horror

it was the remake, but it still scared the hell out of me

blair witch didn't scare me until i went to go to sleep. i had forgotten that i was going to be home alone all weekend before i saw that...i slept on the couch with the light on all weekend :scared:

[Frank Cannon]

27. John Carpenter's The Thing

I've seen it probably a dozen times, and it never fails to deliver.

[JCMach1]

28. The Ring

It creeped me out... and that's hard to do.

[Phillycat]

40. Hell yes...The Ring for me too.

That movie STILL haunts me, and I saw it in the theater, so that was a WHILE ago.

[MnFats]

29. it's old but I watched "The Exorcist" again the other night...

..now THAT is a damn scary movie. mike oldfield's music is also haunting....

[devilgrrl]

32. Scary or not, that's a damn good movie!

I saw it for the first time in it's entirety only a few years ago - it didn't scare me per se but what a GOOD movie it was. Ellen Burstyn is the shit.

[Mad_Dem_X]

57. I'm too scared to even watch that one!

:scared:

[sasquatch]

31. "The Entity"

[krispos42]

33. "1408"

Yeah, I actually cried out once during it, and my friend and I were clinging to each other for a lot of it.

And in the remake of "Dawn of the Dead", when the baby is born as a zombie freaked the shit out of me.

[Mad_Dem_X]

58. Haven't seen "1408," but

I listened to the audio version of the original story, read by Stephen King himself, and it scared the living SHIT out of me.

[krispos42]

59. Yeah, that's it.

I haven't read the book, but it's a psycological horror movie. Not blood and gore, pretty much all brain games.

[sasquatch]

62. That was a good movie

[MonkeyFunk]

34. I don't see many horror movies

but The Ring scared the fuck outta me.

I thought "Blair witch" was stupid. I wanted those kids to die.

[DarkTirade]

35. Striptease.

Scariest movie EVER.

[lildreamer316]

45. LOL

:rofl:

Don't worry, for those of us in the biz, it was scary too, but for different reasons.

[bigwillq]

36. Hostel

It was awful. Hated that movie.

[DS1]

37. Hostel SUCKS

Hostel 2 SUCKS

The Descent appealed to the 'why do people go caving in the first place?' side of me.

1408 was not bad at all.

[BurtWorm]

38. The Ex Lax Prophecy

Or was it the Bowel Movie?

[raccoon]

39. Same here, about 2 years ago. That movie REALLY creeped me out. nt

[underpants]

42. "Wonderland"

I had to take a shower after I watched it

[zingaro]

60. The John Holmes flick?

I used to catch it on late night cable. It was pretty hefty in lots of places. The Departed leaves me with that same feeling.

Oddly though, I have a sort of compulsion to watch either movie if I see that it's on.

[Highway61]

43. Last House on The Left

Years ago...and I still get nervous thinking about it. :scared:

[ohiosmith]

44. The original Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

I was around 10. Didn't sleep for weeks.

[ceile]

46. Reincarnation

Love Japanese horror flicks.

[kay1864]

47. Finding Nemo

Well not me, but MrsKay. She yelped when Marlin and Dory turned and there's Bruce the shark with his big smile.

She's fun to watch scary movies with.

[Susang]

48. The original Japanese version of "Pulse"

Take alienation, loneliness and fear of technology, mix with some overcrowded ghosts and we have a winner!

[_testify_]

49. 1408

I really enjoyed 28 Weeks Later too. More violent than scary though.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

50. Invasion from Mars

I saw it about 1962! :)

[Colorado Progressive]

51. 911 Mysteries nt

[catmandu57]

52. Dracula AD 1972

It's a campy Hammer Dracula movie, but for some reason it scared me.

[redqueen]

53. Hmmm... I don't really know... the Exorcist, I guess.

All the rest that I enjoy scare me well enough... but not to the point that I can hardly stand to look at the image, still.

Might have something to do with me watching it as a kid... :P

[MorningGlow]

54. The Others

Granted, I don't see many current movies of any kind anymore (!) but I saw The Others a bunch of years ago and day-um it's still with me.

I'm afraid I thought Blair Witch was dumb. But DH and I were tainted by all the hype, so by the time we saw it, we were like "...That's it?"

[Mad_Dem_X]

56. "The Ring" and "The Descent"

"The Ring" in particular haunted me for weeks.

[alphafemale]

61. Not the whole movie so much...but the scene with the goddamned ghoul in Pan's Labyrinth. Pic/Dial Up

http://imgred.com/


That freaked me the fuk out.

[Inchworm]

65. Crap! that woulda been cool!

I guess I did nod a bit.. oops :)

:hi:

[enigmatic]

64. Audition (2000)

Audition truly scared the shit out of me; Slow moving at the beginning, but the ending was probably the most shocking and grusome I've ever seen, and I've seen some truly shocking and grusome Pauly Shore movies:D

This is a good (spoliers though) review:

http://www.lovehkfilm.com/panasia/audition.htm

[GRLMGC]

66. Ahhhh

I didn't even watch the uncensored version and it still freaked me out!

[enigmatic]

68. It was a film that got to me for awhile

I wish I would have seen it in a theater, though; that would have been something to see..

[GRLMGC]

70. kirikirikirikiri

F'd up to be sure!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

67. Zodiac had some very suspenseful scenes.

I think that was my most recent.
