What is the scariest movie you've watched?


Recommended Posts

Same for me. The Exorcist.

I think the exorcist is the masterpiece of what a scary movie is... I would love to check the director's cut version which is usually even more scary.

:D

looks a joke than even a comedy movie... :D

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...

Can?t say. Scary films can make me jump at the right moment, but after watching the film, I forget all about the scary things. So I can?t say that I remember any scary film.

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.

I wouldn't say that movies generally scare me, they only usually get me with the cheap shock moments, like everything is quiet then all of a sudden, BOOM!

 

Except when I was a kid, It scared me to death.

 

Some games on the other hand scare the crap out of me.

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.

it would be between insidious and grave encounters for me, watched grave encounters in pitch black on my laptop with earphones in and it was a very bad mistake lol

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 :-)
