Fave horror movie?

[garyinderry]

I used to love the old zombie films (Dawn of the Dead etc) but they are naff when you watch them now, to me anyway. The Walking Dead is about as good as it gets these days .

Currently enjoying 'fear the walking dead'. 4 episodes in.

Near Dark anyone? Kathryn Bigelow film from the 80's. Very underrated film.

Interesting choices there guys. I guess it's hard to define horror. I class it as anything that has me second guessing turning off the lights at night. Here's a wee list of good ones.

Blair Witch Project
The Mist
Paranormal Activity 1 & 2
Dusk Till Dawn
The Messengers
Carrie (2013 remake)
Texas Chainsaw
The Devils Rejects

Two that are similar but not really scary horrors are The Frighteners, and Odd Thomas. The Fright Night remake with Colin Farrell in it was creepy, and the Fright Night 2 film where the woman is the vamp is good too. So many to keep you up at night.

I prefer fear rather than gore.

The Shining and The Ring. I would also include Alien.

We've watched the first 3 episodes, a slow burner compared to TWD but still very good.

The Changeling, still frightens the life out of me, the kids ball bouncing down the stairs, so simple but effective.

Angel heart. Not proper horror, but a good film.

I'm a big "horror" fan....the gorey stuff doesn't scare me, but I do enjoy them.

Some of the standout ones for me are:

All of the Screams - true to old school horror rules with a hint of real life to them
Paranormal activity - proper proper proper "jump" films. (probably my number 1)
The Evil dead
Halloween
Hills have eyes (because of "that" scene - really really disturbing)

The Cabin in the Woods was a great twist on the horror genre

My favourite is the one where our own Fish is in it.

The Hills have eyes.

Hes the one in the cave.
Anyone have a pic of the character

Evil Dead remake is excellent. Also the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween is really creepy

[patricks148]

Oh forgot about Zombies, Mummies and Frankensteins monster.

Not a great horror fan so - and definitely can't be bothered with the slasher/gorefest/frightnight sort - but films like Don't Look Now and Rosemary's Baby are the sort of 'horror' movie that I enjoy and stand re-watching for me.

 

[Paul77]

Horror is whatever you want it to be I guess.

From my childhood; the scream of the banshee. And in later years, after reading the book, The Shinning

Blair Witch Project? How the heck can that make anyone's list? I've seen plenty a crummy film over the years but Blair Witch sits way below any of them. It ranks as my "biggest waste of time" film of all time and remains the only film, ever, where I've wanted my money back as I came out. Not "cacky pants time" just pants. You'll guess I don't rate it.

Not a great fan of the genre, but The Wicker Man, & for some reason, The Fog will both have me hiding behind the sofa.
