Least Scary Movie
« on: January 02, 2001, 01:54:15 PM »
In the tradition of Joyda\'s scariest movie post I have made a least scary movie post. Now the question is "Out of all the movies labeled as \'Horror Movies\' which were the least scary?

My votes go to:

-Stephen King\'s "The Stand"

-The Bride of Chucky

I thought The Haunting was pretty stupid.  It wasnt scary in the least bit.

80\'s horror movies sucked also. They started mixing all the sex / comedy / blood in with the movies, and forgot all about story.

A good example is.. I recommend buying the DVD box set of Nightmare on Elm Street. After the first one, they started making it a huge comedy series. The last one, "New Nightmare" was pretty good though.

Phsycological thrillers are gone , it seems. Even if there was a good story, the director would probally throw useless sex scenes in, with a ton of fake blood to try and gross the audience out.

Movies like "The Shining" made you wonder. And at the end, there was no clear conclusion on why the events in the movie happened. It wasn\'t as simple as saying "Oh, there was a zombie cause of an explosion", "He is a killer! His mom abused him!" and such things.

Then, they ruined movies about ghosts with special effects. I truly believe this. It is not scarey in the least to see some huge budget special effects movie. But, it is more scarey to see a movie where you can\'t see the supposed "ghosts".
Compare: The Haunting vs The Chaneling.
The Chaneling, totally kicks ass.


Horror movies are pretty much gone. The only way horror movies could come back is if it was a new writer/ with a director of old style. A director with a vision of a gritty place, or place that is very life like. And characters that are life like. Not blonde bimbos with big tits, running around nude. And the chance of this happening, is very little, because it would have no commercial success.

SEX and Violence sells, sadly.

The least scary?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The new Generation ( totally sucked )
Thinner ( boring )
Cujo ( even the book wasn\'t scary )
All the Child\'s Play -movies ( they\'re good but not scary; only violent )

and there\'s lots more.

Why make a horror movie that doesn\'t scare you? That\'s the whole point of horror movies!

i would have to agree that a lot of movies are trying to bring in sucess with sex - but it seems even in the long run that violence will always be in horror movies.

One thing i don\'t like about the 90\'s horror movies is that they all copied each other over and over. I would almost know everything about a movie before it would come out.

Anyway another non-scary scary movie would have to be the Gremlin Movies - haven\'t seen those in a while - yea those were great for a laugh

Hey I gotta agree with Living In Clip.

Remember the much sought after Scream -series?

They 5uck. They\'re described as Horror -movies but they should be called Sexy Splatter -movies.

Hey, when did Hollywood start killing sexy babes? :)

night of the living dead was not scarry at all. It looks so fake. But the baha men who let the dogs out is the scarriest song in the world. It almost made me cry once.

LOL! :D . Very true man. That song is like the ultimate horror.

As for Night of The Living Dead.. That movie was scarey when it came out. You have to realize, it came out, at a time there was no actual horror movie, beyond "The Giant Squid!" and ****.
George Romero is very talented script writer. He devlivered character development / storyline / zombies (effectively!)/ and a moral point at the end (least I think it had one).

Horror movies are predictable. That is their biggest problem. There is nothing scarey when you can predict it. I have hopes though. "Hannibal" comes out valentines day, and it could very well be the latest phsyclogical thriller. The book was excellent, and the original Silence of the Lambs was a great movie.
