I too thought Ju-On was very good. creepy lady, spooky boy and awesome sound effects can give me more chills than a slasher film with a bunch of predictable pop outs. i also was more interested in the ju-on plot as well. Seeing Ju-On made me want to see the Grudge now.

When you finaly get old enough to enjoy horror movies, you canīt get scared anymore...... And then you die..:rolleyes:

getting scared never was neccessary for me to enjoy a horror movie ... i like a creepy atmosphere and things that suprise me ..
and gratuitous nudity.

Eventually it was just another fun movie for me, but the new Dawn of the Dead had me sweating the first time i saw it in the theater.

When it comes to zombies, i have had enough freaky-ass dreams that i expect to walk out of the theater and see people running screaming from them, so that helps the movie have a lot of impact.

Creepy atmosphere, HELL YES!!! But for me, a creepy atmosphere isnīt enough to hold up a horror movie ("Session 9" is a perfect example of that). Itīs like a bass in a song. Without it the rest will be shit.
But what will you call the scene in Ju-on where the ghost comes crawling down the stairs? Itīs not just creepy atmosphere itīs..... Just plain creepy, i think. And stuff like that also has to be there for it to be a good creepy horror movie. Without it i will be dissapointed no matter what happens. Thatīs for sure.


I know it sounds kinda harsh, but i really love to be creeped out! ;)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)


As for the newer stuff, I liked the new DotD, it was pretty intese all the way through. (Especially the first part where suburbia is in shambles.)

The first part of Jeepers Creepers was headed in the right direction.

I liked the scene where the guy in 28 Days Later walks out of the hospital into the deserted streets and city. That was pretty eerie.

TCM takes the cake though with its gritty realism and brutal nature. Last House on the Left isnt far behind... Very disturbing.

I must admit that was exciting. But i didnīt find it as exciting as "Saw". But non of those two movies creeped me out...:rolleyes:

Good point - that scene is now a classic: who would have thought a simple straight-to-camera desperate, doomed outpouring of terror would have proved so effective?
