A Japanese film called 'Audition'.  First half is sweet like Sleepless In Seattle - the second half... isn't.  When the Japs do it well, they do it best.  Couldn't sleep with my wife without worrying about my ankles for a few nights...

I watched Alien when I was 8 years old, it was terrifying, to this day it still makes me feel uneasy watching it. Amazing work, thats how you do a monster movie, you barely show it. The suspense of wondering what the Alien would become as it kept growing kept me so on edge, and even though you only saw it for flashes, those flashes scarred me.

 

Likewise.  I'm not a fan of scary movies, and generally just don't watch them... But Alien is definitely the scariest, most suspend filled movie I've ever seen.

 

Ridley Scott was spot on with that movie and nothing has surpassed it, IMO.

There is scary, psychological horror.    (saw 1 - and most of older school horror)

 

Then there is torture porn, scary because of brutality and sickness (saw 2-3-4 etc  - something that I think you should never watch - it sticks with you)

 

 

I love

The Shining

now that is a scary movie that I find good to watch.   more recently its the

The Conjuring

all the movies where there is no tension, and where you see straight up physical torture, and not horror for me.  it is just sickness, bringing nothing good to your emotional state.

Pride and Prejudice!

 

Seriously MEN do not watch this with your Wife or Girflriend! I would rather visit the dentist in comparison

The BBC mini-series is rather good actually. Speaking from a man's perspective.

event horizon is pretty decent as well as disturbing the only movie to give me nightmares for a while after seeing it.

 

i can now watch it without being scared.

 

can't think of any other really scary movies, just creepy ones like;

 

things like the shining didn't do it for me, maybe because it's dated....

 

 

didn't find any of the saw scary, overrated with all the gore, same for hostel

i was kinda scared when i watched event horizon as teenager.

 

when i was a kid i watched Joey (1985), and Poltergeist was crazy too much back then. 

 

basically, movies with evil stuff in it that you hardly ever see but you know its there, creep me out. i can keep thinking of them for days. nowadays I have become wiser and i tend to avoid looking such things :-)

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
