tired of wasting my money on boring movies....
 

I know , I know... someones gonna say that this thread sucks, and it has been done before, over and over again... But... whats a great horror flick? Any ideas???

Im not a teeny bobber who gets scared watching "saw" or grudge, I am a horror fan looking for new blood. I am tired of hollywood shit. I actually want something truely scary.

I have been perusing ebay for ages and trying to make a decision to what movies I should buy. I am so tired of buying the "scariest movies" and then watching them and falling asleep cause they are so BORING! I own the ring trilogy ( good) and dark water ( okay) kairo ( boring) battle royale ( funny as hell, quite enjoyable) the eye ( okay, one of the better ones)

I like suspense and I am bored of all the movies I have at home. I've been through the fred kruegar stage and the exorcist. I loved event horizon and wrong turn was pretty good. ... so what is a really really good freaky movie. I want a movie that makes me have to turn on all the lights just too go to the bathroom at night.

PLease help... I am sick of wasting money on average movies!
thanks all

wrong, you suck

Hardly anything is really scary............try these if you haven't seem them already........

the fog
the haunting (original)
exorcist
the other
shining
early hammer films dracula's.......

<<<<<<Takes a big steaming shit on this thread......

Try Black Christmas. One of the most frightening slashers I've seen.

Ah, the jaded existence of the maturing horror fan.

Once you're too old for comedy icons like Freddy and Jason, you need to experiment with independent movies - use the money you save on expensive DVD boxsets to trawl obscure video rental stores (forget Blockbuster and all that shit) and hire some old & new titles you may never have heard of before, and don't be afraid of subtitles.

You'll end up with a few duds, but every so often will come across a gem.

Do some research and study writers and directors whose other films you can track down, too.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

:D

Buy Cemetary Man!

any fulci or argento also try when a stranger calls and yes cemetery man rocks

Who made Cemetary Man and what are some of his other movies?

michele soavi

Any recomendations?

stagefright

i liked the church alot too actually prefer it too stagefright but thats just me

scariest movie i've ever seen is "jaws." cliche, i'm sure you've seen that by now. try the japanese "audition." that oughtta give you a nightmare or two.

Maybe you should try renting mor movies and buying fewer. That way your lost money on a bad movie is less.

In that vein, I think Netflix is really the way to go. 20,000+ movies, pretty good selection and only $18 a month.

Hard to beat that.

Sam

Thanks for the suggestion, but I do believe that netflix wouldnt deliver to australia. *grin* I am in a country town and the dvd stores dont have too greater selection!
thanks anyway!

If they don't have a good selection and you know that, why bother asking if you can't get anything being suggested?

check out Invasion of the Body Snatchers even though it's pretty cheesy for "our" time once you get into it though it's pretty good. It's about a bunch of aliens come to clone people and make the world a "better place". Pretty good though. Could only watch it once or twice maybe three times, before it's gets old, but you can still try it out.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers, "cheesy"?

Which one? Each of the filmed versions of Jack Finney's novel is played straight; the paranoid undertones and feelings of dread are nicely unsettling, the allegorical references to communism are there if you want them, and the acting is pretty spot on throughout.

Not to mention a few brief scenes of creepy effects, particularly in the 1978 version during a pod-transformation.

it's just so cheesy the "I don't want a world like that" and shit. you've got to admit it. some of it was pretty good, but when the one girl (forgot name) was so freaked out about a dead body being in their house. i just didn't understand how you can be THAT scared. other than that, you're right, it's a pretty good movie

You've obviously missed the communism subtext, or don't want it.

If you're judging films cheesy by their scary scenes, we could go on all day listing just about every horror film known to man.
