I i haven't seen too much horror movies, but the one i like the best was the ring (and the ring 2) Most horror movies these days just startle you. What i like about the ring is that it actually has some creepy / erry and weird themes that don't necessarily startle you.

spoiler


anyone seen any other good ones?

dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them

I wouldn't consider The Ring to be horror. I think it's more suspense than anything else.

Even though I hate to put it on the genre, the Saw series is probably more horror than The Ring is. Even though it's just a torture film hidden behind the supposed genius of curing people's addictions through violence...

It hasn't come out yet, but I think Stranger is going to be my favorite after I see it. Looks scary as heck

Most horror films don't scare me, they just tend to be suspenses or gore fests, like Saw. Though House of 1000 corpses did have a horror element, though I am pretty much afraid of any advert that promotes the downfall of society such as Bratz dolls and Paris Hilton-like stuff - usually I hide behind the cushions with my stomach churning, but I don't think that's the kind of fear horror movies aim for. Except 'House of Wax' who managed to scare us by casting Paris Hilton, but the horror was lost and the excitement rose everytime Paris looked liked she was going to die, when she eventually did, the horror just went out of the window. (Perhaps they could have killed her of later? I mean there's the element of suspense where the person watching thinks "when is she going to die? I hope she does die, I'll be disappointed if she doesn't")

Saw, and only Saw 1. Saw 2, 3 and 4 never reached the levels of that first movie and I don't think there'll ever be a Saw movie as good as the first installment.

Saw 2 and 3 were quite disappointing, I doubt I'll see 4. For Saw 2 and 3, the plot really just seemed to be there to justify the gore and the different ways of people dying/suffering.

Great atmosphere and lighting, but the plot is fantastic, it's not very often that you feel bad for the monster at the end of a movie. The demon in this film is quite original, it kinda toys with it's victims before killing them, but in quite ingenious ways.


As thrillers go though, you really can't beat Silence of the Lambs.


less is more, but if less is more how you keeping score?

I gotta agree with tha_rami, Saw 1 and only Saw 1. I've seen all the rest, and they're good, but I think they more or less killed Saw I. Saw 1 had more plot, and better organization, although the cinematography differed than the other Saw's, it was the best.

I' really not scared by horror movies, but my favourite is the Alien Series. That was awesome man. Another is Torchwood, by the BBC, which is a part horror, part drama and part crime. Some of the episodes scared the hell out of me. I think it was the "Cage" one, and the one with the shapeshifters in the 2nd series

Oh man, Hostel 1 actually freaked me out, big time. Horror movies only really seem to be scary if they are gory enough.

Don't you just hate that Zotoaster guy?

To me, horror can only be good if it toys psychologically with you. The gore usually just takes the whole 'screw with your mind' and throws it out of the window to make place for disgust.

I'm not overally effected by Horrors but I watched all of the saws. And I must say, Saw 1 and 4 were the best, 2 and 3 didn't cut it for me. But to me the Saw films are Thrillers. And you got to love the twists in the Saw films. Also I loved that other film by the Saw creators it was called "Death Sentence" its a down-right action but the story was great, the type of film which wanted you to carry on watching till the end and piss your pants if you wanted to go to the toilet, and its not the far-fetched OTT action it was greatly done and the explosions and deaths was realistic.

Eraserhead

I wouldn't say it's especially "scary", but it's confusing, difficult to understand, and features some rather disturbing/surreal concepts (in particular the scene of the title)

Agreed, nothings really messed with my head for a while, Rec was good psychologically purely because i wondered what i'd do in a situation like that, but other than that it was a lot of the shock factor.

[edit] The young kids probably should know that. But basically I said I liked Hostel 1.

Horror don't really seem like they're purpose is to scare people now. Seems like they just try to make it gruesome. However, Strangers looks pretty scary.

Aliens is my all time favorite movie, but I don't see it as a horror movie, Alien was definitely a horror film, but Aliens is really the best action movie ever made.

I like the original Saw, Saw 2 and 3 were sufferable, but I hated Saw 4, total cash-in IMO. It's just not the same without Jigsaw moping about . Hostel 1 was good, not as graphic as I thought it would be, but a pretty decent thriller.

Absolutely, that is one the best action films ever made.

Alien - Good suspense horror.
Aliens - Amazing action gut fest.
Alien 3 - Fairly decent suspense thriller.
Alien Resurrection - Below average thriller.

Forgot to mention The Grudge, awesome film. The best bit was when that women is laid in bed and she looks under the covers to find something is there with her!

Film that most scared me was The Medusa Touch. God, gave me nightmares for weeks that did. The Shining and Omen came close though. Favourite as a teenager was Nightmare on Elm Street 3, but mainly because of that fit nurse who got her amazing fun bags out

Overall though if it classes as a horror then will have to be my favourite film of all time : Aliens.

Cheers

You obviously haven't seen the film. Takes quite a bit... Also check out Bachelor party now we have hijacked the subject onto funbags.
