What is the scariest movie you've watched?


Recommended Posts

I watched The Exorcist while on student exchange in Italy (10th grade, not long before my 16th birthday). I didn't understand half of what was said, but the visuals scared the **** out of me.

I was forced to watch is before I was even in elementary and I was traumatized for years, lol. So much so, that nothing else ever scared me. Isn't she effin' creepy looking?

Hard to separate Horror from Chiller. Though were I to omit overt horror (i.e. gore) then;

Paranormal Activity

Absolutely no budget, but the atmosphere in it trumped everything else. Who would have though that the sound of slowly stomping footsteps could be so terrifying?

Expanding things a bit;

The Thing

The Fly

The Mist

Seven

Hellraiser

Pan's Labyrinth

Perfume

Alien

Martyrs

Haute Tension

(I've not seen Audition!)

Although there aren't any movies that really scare me, one does give me the willies after watching it: Arachnaphobia.

While the movie isn't really scary, it turns up my spider fear a few notches for a couple of hours. I remember the first time I watched it, I stayed awake for 2 hours, wrapped in a blanket, constantly scanning the room for spiders. It still happens to me, to this day, whenever I watch it although not as long anymore.

REC, the original, has to be one of the scariest movies I've seen. Event Horizon is up there (thanks to whoever said that one, now I'm replaying it in my head).

Threads was better. Time to time I go back and watch it. Dont ask me why

Yeah, I saw that one too and It's pretty scary what the destructive side of human kind can do.

Event Horizon! I haven't seen that in years!

Scary but more entertaining is Ghost Ship (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/) (although only 5.3 in IMDB, I really like it!).

But topping the scary list for me is Dead Silence (Dead"]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455760). 6.0 on IMDB, but it's about a ventriloquist and her dummies. That's pretty scary.

Sorry I couldn't make the links nice but whatever format I type, it makes them crappy.

I agree with Event Horizon. It terrified me in the theater. But later when I watched it, it was not nearly as scary.

Dont really find movies scary these days. They are just bloody and full of gore which is not scary. Plus, movies are to predictable as well so its hard to be scared when you know what is going to happen.

The Exorcist. The scene where Linda Blair does a spider walk down the stairs freaked me up when I watched for the first time.
