The current state of Horror movies...

[nO-One]

the last movie I thought worked pretty well was excorcist the beginning, while not a great movie it\'s the only movie in a long time that managed to create a bleak somewhat scary atmosphere even though almost nothing happened the entire movie.

It was terrible.

Haven\'t watched it. I need to tho\'. I noticed they also put out the "original" version of the film in small cinema\'s when Star Wars:ROTS came out.

Ichi the Killer, Audition etc....


I\'m not gonna watch em. I KNOW i\'ll throw  up

I accually thought Amityville horror was pretty scary. Scariest thing about it is that it\'s based on a true story and the house accually exists.

Only movie that even slightly put some fear into me was darkness falls...

Wow.......


can somone say

Yeah...um...that movie wasn\'t scary at all. Possibly one of the least scariest films of all time. The fact that it even put "slight"
fear in someone is just sad.

Soully: -5

I didnt find that movie scary either.I hated it.I wonder why I watched it.

welp, as i said.  What made it scary was the facts behind it...  not the movie itself.  Amityville horror movies scary,  pleeeeaaseee.

But you found something about Darkness Falls scary.

Night of the Living Dead, all they had was flood lighting and an organ for background music. Then the tension of being surrounded by flesh eating zombies, not getting along with your only surviving humans, the thought of starving to death and not getting out....yep. Scared me when I was 13. Scares me today. Back then, I had to sleep with the radio on so I\'d know if there were zombies about.

so true gman..and that is what i\'m talkin\' about. music goes a loong way in creating that effect, you don\'t get that anymore. the recent horror movies, at least those involving zombies, i\'ve heard nothing but heavy metal music or some type of techno playing, when the music is supposed to be suspenseful or frightening....

Dumbass.
The Lutz have confirmed there story was a hoax to get out of a house payment they couldn\'t afford. However, the murders did happen, but not because of demons.

That\'s right. I was more scared when playing Capcom\'s Resident Evil than I was watching the movie with the 5th Element chick. That movie blew.

I forgot about M Night Shamalan(sp lol). Sith Sense and Signs were just creepy. SS was his first attempt and it wasn\'t even horror, just a very clever and unique movie with these sudden scenes of terror that could hit anyone by surprise. You may not of found the movie scary, but regardless it was still a great movie.

Signs on the other hand was classic suspense. Props to him on that movie, nothing like seeing that alien standing on the roof for the first time. Again not a horror movie rather than a movie about "finding yourself" just well thought out seens of suspense.

I\'ll just comment on signs...that movie imo was waay too slow,..it dragged on and on...i almost fell asleep on it. and to think that...........spoiler........water was the aliens weakness? :rolleyes:..didn\'t they realize that when comin to a planet that\'s what? 85% surrounded by water?

maybe i\'m lookin too deep in that aspect, but just takin it for what it was, and i realize what they were tryin to do as far as the suspense is concrened(unseen creatures, slick camera work), but it just didn\'t hold any weight with me...
