Atmospheric Fear
What films do you find truly atmospherically frightening? The films you watch in the dead of night, home alone, with the wind howling outside. Only you, in a tiny room with a locked door, a phone, the screen, and a bucket of popcorn. I've been looking for some, and I've only really found a few.
One for me, would be The Blair Witch Project. It just freaks me out. That silent, realistic fear. Sends chills without showing anything. Camping always freaked me out because of this, and due to watching this film I may never go camping ever again. Brrr.
Another, which I found best watched on a stormy pitch-black night, is House of 1000 Corpses. It's fun, dark, moody, murderous. Just overall creepy if your in the right mood. Partially why I love it so much.
I'm thinking of picking up Cradle of Fear, I'm guessing it's somewhat similiar in this department. May not be good, but I was wondering if it does have some atmosphere to it.
