Rather than give a huge list, I'll start simple. At the moment The Descent is a favorite of mine. Great movie and characters, just be sure to watch the European version. The American version is a bit too Hollywood.

Another, though some friends disagree, is The Mist. The Mist is hit or miss, you'll either love it or hate it. Mostly because of ....well you'll see.

Third, John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness. Donald Pleasence at his creepy finest. It's a bit dated, but still a favorite of mine. Pay attention or you'll scream wtf...

Both you and Cass have a couple of great lists there, with the exception of the Blair Witch Project, all of those are great!

Cass recommended Pan's Labyrinth, outstanding movie as is The Orphanage. If you haven't seen PL, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start there. It's one of those classic movies that stays with you.

If you want a scary movie (versus a monster movie) try finding yourself a copy of Special Bulletin. Events since it came out back in the early 80's make the plot a little bit too plausible to be comfortable with now.

It's also a worthy satire of the ego drenched TV news business.

The last to impress here horror-wize;

Frontiers (the cover actually spells "FRONTIER(S)")
Survival-horror set in a twisted french country-side hostel. Believable characters become trapped in twisted post-nazi-family's screwed-up reality and must escape. Slow set up, but when the action started it was non-stop and quite the ride. French film, had to watch w/ subs but it didn't matter.

Agree w/ tekky29
The Descent was A+++
The original version is supposed to be better.

The Hills Have Eyes (remake)
I see this is already on your list.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this.

I found the film Oldboy very scary.

It isn't really a horror film, but the idea of someone
being treated like that, kept in a room for all that time
really freaked me out.

It is a pretty unnerving film.

I agree with tekky29 about the Guillermo del Toro films
as well, he is a great director.

Pure evil in human form...That's makes a nice kombination..

As Kevin Spacy's diabolic performence in se7en

Or the insanity Jack Nicholson scared the shit out of me/us in The Shining.

Or what about a dinner with Dr Hannibal.

Or the evil we can't understand, like Ellen Byrnstein as the mother in The exorcist...

But we all now that the real world sometimes are much more sick than
what we see in the movies...That's the most scaring thing..

Other favorits are John Carpenters early work..Especilly The Thing

"PI" by Darren Aronovsky is a rather disturbing, mind-fuck of a film. Not horror per se, but it has some gross-out content, good suspense, and brings up some concepts that might scare you if you think about them.

"Hostel" would scare me if I were still young enough to backpack through Europe.

"House of 1000 corpses" deserves a mention, too, as a jam-packed over-the-top horror show. The sequel, "The Devil's Rejects", is a better picture, but it's more of a criminals-on-the-lam story than a horror movie.


When I see a picture in the theater, I usually find that the better the movie, the less I drink out of my soda. at the end of the first "Candyman" film, with Virginia Madsen, I noticed I had only taken about three sips.

"Planet Terror" is kinda scary and funny, too, especially when Quentin Tarantino's balls rot off.

Hi.

Nice collection which you have there, sir.
I have many of them, too.

But I can't believe my eyes that you don't
have the three parts of "EVIL DEAD".
It's a must for every horror-fan, in my opinion.

Okay, the third part isn't really scary because
it's more a comedy but it points with nice gore
scenes.
The first part is the best and illegal to own in
some countries and if they have this flick, it's
totally cut. It's hard to get the uncut version.
Second part is a mix of the other 2 parts. A
lil bit scary and sometimes it's funny.

I might have to say that the movies are a
little bit older, though. So don't expect too
many real looking special_effects. Wink
But the story is just great, pretty scary!

screenshot

My totally favorite horror_flick is "Phenomena".
It's a "Dario Argento" movie starring "Jennifer
Connelly" produced in the swiss. It's a very
rare movie and pretty hard to get as it's an
old movie.
All the versions from the states are cut but
mine is uncut. Very Happy

screenshot

Another one which is kinda scary is "hide and seek"
with "robert de niro" and "dakota fanning".
Well, it's not really a horror-movie but it's
scary in a different kind. It's the craziness
just like "jack nicholson" of shining what
let's the blood in your veins freeze. Cool
I personally liked it much.

screenshot

"Stephen King" is also a genius if it comes to
scary stories. The movie "pet cemetery" gave
me many sleepless nights when I was about
9 years old.

Just keep in mind that it's not always the
movie with the most blood and gore-scenes
what's scary. A good story can shock you
more sometimes than pictures, though.

Well, I could really go on and on with listing up
nice horror movies as it's a hobby of mine but
I don't want to overreact. I've about 900 DvDs,
all bought, no copies. It's a hobby to collect
those movies and 20% of them are horror.

Idea By the way,
no other country can tell a scary ghost-story
better than the japanese and chinese. Sure,
they don't look that impressive as the so
called "hollywood" stuff but alone the story
is so scary that it would be enough to just
read it in a book.

Okay, enough talked as far for now. I'm
close to write a book up in here. Laughing

Cheers, screenshot
