What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?

[XThe GreatestX]

I remember going to see Blair Witch in a tiny independent theatre when it first came out.

This is when the filmmakers had the website that tried to make it look as if everything was real "found footage" and that the people were really missing - I remember everybody thought at the time that what we were watching was in fact real (I was young, forgive me). Watching it in that context was far more entertaining (if you can suspend disbelief) than afterwards when I watched it and everybody knew it was a "mockumentary". It was a great idea though.

I didn't even look to see what it was about before seeing it. Only knew it was a horror film

Saw the shaky camera and was going

There was that H.P. Lovecraft's: Necronomicon the Whispers story freaked me out a bit plus the Movies Dagon, In the Mouth of Madness, and Beneath Still Waters. Lovecraftian Horror movies just has a good mixture of suspense, shock, bleakness, and gore instead of just relying on one of them to carry the movie.

There's a candy man 2?!?

As mentioned, the recording of the prior crew in event horizon is pretty damn repugnant.

A few of the shorts in the VHS flicks gave me the heebie jeebies.

The most creeped out I've been recently though was listening to the missing 411 interviews while driving through a national park in the Midwest. Fuck that with a baseball bat.

Agreed. I like movies that are more subtle in their "horror" factor - jumps scares don't really get me - I guess they are called psychological thrillers, but for some reason Jacob's Ladder disturbed me because you never really knew what was real and what wasn't.

I am not into the "horror movies" genre because I find most of them unrealistic, the films that are scary are the ones that could actually happen like "Jacobs Ladder" and "Buried". If you liked Jacobs Ladder I highly recommend "Buried".

the Takashi Miike movie? I went on a buying binge of his movies after watching Ichi The Killer and picked that one up but never watched it.

Yes, that's the one. I don't even know how I heard about it or what made me pick it up, but it's the one movie that always comes to mind when this topic comes up.

Face peeled off, eyes cut out, hands cut off. He wakes up from being unconcious. They slit his throat several times with a cutter but he doesn't die. Push his tongue down with a machete so he gurgles his own blood for minutes. Video ends.

I saw that one. Pretty messed up stuff. Being skinned alive has got to be the worst way to go.

I've seen more Cartel videos than I should have tbh. I always know they are gonna bother me or gross me out, but every time morbid curiosity gets the best of me. Fucking stupid ass brain.

But one thing always makes me wonder though. Cartels skin their enemies alive all the damn time. They film executions all the time. Yet there isn't a video of the actual skinning process on the internet. Only the aftermath. Wonder why. Maybe @El Chapo can explain. He's the drug cartel expert of this forum.

Ah yes. We've spoken about that one on here before.

It's not very nice to watch but I hear the chap involved walked off his injuries and he was back at his desk the next morning.

He didn't even miss a days work.

As Above So Below was scary as fire to me. Thinking about being lost down in the catacombs under Paris and experiencing all that chit.. @_@ no fukking thanks jeff

Just watched this last week, loved it. When they're deep down and only like 3-4 of them left and they run into that dude sitting in the chair with his cloak. Just liked the story as well to be honest.

 

[HwoarangStyle]

This thread has made me seek out a horror movie to watch at this moment. I'll go through the thread and find one I haven't seen before. Also, I reccomend watching a movie callled Lake Mungo. Shit was creepy as hell, I watched it home alone at night though but yeah it scared me.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Why the fuck did I click on this thread...lol

And yeah exorcist is down right disturbing and give me an uneasy feeling.

won't watch it again ever - watched it a few times when it was remade and some strange things happened so me and a few friends said fuck it and smashed the dvd and never watched it again.

 

[Thundarr]

The Serpent and the Rainbow and The Blob (1988). I need to revisit The Blob to be sure but I think it had some really good special effects and gore.

Event Horizon does I feel go a little too slasher/jumpscare in spots but generally its a very effective film I'd agree, by far the best thing Paul W.S. Anderson has ever done. It was pretty much the last stand for conventional model SFX as well which means its dated much better than a lot of the CGI heavy stuff from that era.

I don't get scared from movies if I know it could never happen (ghosts, etc.). The Hannibal Lecter movies, because there are actually people like that.

When I was a kid, the Night Stalker TV show hit me. Actually gave me nightmares.

Yeah that was some creepy chit. I really liked the guy that took them down there that new the system well and how genuinely frightened he seemed of that one blocked off passageway and how he tried to convince them not to go in there. Also the mole guy that was down in there.. geez that entire movie freaks me out

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

As Above So Below was scary as fire to me. Thinking about being lost down in the catacombs under Paris and experiencing all that chit.. @_@ no fukking thanks jeff

Watched that by myself one night and didn't know anything about it so I didn't know exactly that it had any horror elements to it and wasn't just a survival movie. So when everybody is going down a tunnel one by one and finally the last guy is left in the room alone waiting on his turn and over his shoulder a girl in 1800s clothing just walks past him

horror movies don't really scare me I'm more scared of movies that deal with things that can actually happen to me like Cancer and diseases I think the film outbreak was disturbing.
