I also enjoyed them however Alien went off the rails a little in 3 and 4 but it seems to be redeeming itself with the prequels.

[F4iGuy]

Alien and Aliens are tops. I enjoyed a movie called Event Horizon, basically a ship in deep space visits hell and returns. Many years later a crew boards the ship and awesomeness ensues. I also enjoyed the Insidious movies. The original Silent Hill is kinda bad ass. I like the scene where the little girl sprouts barbed wire all over the place and wrecks everybody with it... kinda nasty

The Strangers. Scariest movie I've seen. Had to turn it off till day light. The reason I conceal carry.
Vacancy. Also Why I carry conceal everywhere I go.
Original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Also why I conceal carry.
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Also why I conceal carry.

There's never a reason not to carry.

There's always a reason to carry.

How's that new pistol shoot?

agree strangers is a very dark movie.

[KINGKONG]

Original Texas chainsaws like cape said..I like the original dawn of dead the Romero movies..some of the old John carpenter movies like hellraiser 1 and 2 as far as new movies I think for the most part they rely too much on computer graphics and not on story line and gore..the conjuring was pretty scary though..

[TRA]

Original Exorcist, The Shining...others mentioned above and a film called May.
I also enjoyed the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. Can't comment other than that. I don't watch horror anymore. I can't see paying money to get a feeling I pray daily to be rid of, hehe.

Rotten tomatoes dot com has a top 75 horror movies list which should be pretty good.

[hollowedzeus]

Lots to choose from. Thanks lads

[Mooseman33]

deliverance.

fvcking back wood red necks scare the shit out of me.

[hollowedzeus]

The strangers is up tonight i believe. It better be spooky or else.

Why are you doing this? Because you were home.

Based on a true story.

[MuscleScience]

I was also freaked out by the Child's Play movies.

The Leprechaun movies were pretty bad ass for B rated movies. Jennifer Aniston was in the first one

[hollowedzeus]

Not seen the whole movie yet. Calling that the bf is a bad guy....

Edit. Nm he seems like a good lad now

Pretty decent movie cheers guys. Cheap jump scares though...

[hollowedzeus]

What did you think of it?

Pretty good. Reminded me a lot of the purge. Feel like that took alot of its movie from the strangers.

A couple of cheap jumpscares but i rather liked it. Good suggestion!

I think the shining is the next one ill watch

The original shinning. Yes. The twins are creepy. Redrum. Redrum.

If you're into subtle horror, you might like Let the Right One In. It's about a little boy who makes friends with a girl about his age who lives in his building. Except she's not a little girl, she's a 600-year-old vampire, but he obviously doesn't know this. The 2008 Swedish-language film is much better than the 2010 English-language remake (titled "Let Me In") so if you're going digital and you can't find a copy with subtitles, download the .srt file, but you have to get one that matches the source, else it'll be out of sync. If you use VLC Player you can adjust the sync to make the match pretty closely, if not perfectly.

Going old achool, if you've never seen Freaks (B&W, 1932), it holds up well and IMHO is worth a look.

If you are into SciFi horror (with the occasional laugh thrown in) and can stomach Don Johnson, check out A Boy and His Dog. It's far less wholesome than the title makes it sound. It's about a horny young man living in a post-apocalyptic world who partners with a telephathic dog that can sniff out pussy.

If you haven't seen Vincent Price's original The Fly (1958), that might be worth a look. It's a little corny by modern standards, and you probably know the storyline, but if you haven't seen Vincent Price's interpretation, you've only seen immitations. It's told like a Film Noir (or Citizen Kane, for that matter), it starts by presenting the ending and then tells the story of how it got there.


Other little known 'gems' or older classics that have fallen out of fashion, The Babadook (2014), The Changeling (1980), Then Hunger (1983, w/David Bowie), Hell Raiser (1987), Phantasm (1979), One Hour Photo (2002, w/Robin Williams!!)

If you have a 'thing' for Scarlett Johansson, DO NOT watch Under the Skin. Yes, it's probably the only nude role she will ever do, but you don't want your fantasy spoiled. And that's all I have to say on that matter.

I really enjoyed the Alien Series and also Predator 1&2

The original Predator was a twofer, it starts out as a good war movie and ends up a SciFi thriller. That was one of the first Hollyweird movies I saw that had a fairly realistic depiction of small unit tactics.

The original shinning. Yes. The twins are creepy. Redrum. Redrum.

Stanley Kubrick nearly drove Shelley Duvall insane. He had the entire cast and crew avoid her, and if they had to interact they were told to be nasty to her. So by the time they started shooting the scenes where she was supposed to look frazzled, she wasn't acting, she's on her last nerve because they'd skull-fucked her.

I've just watched Prometheus from 2012. Is Alien:Covenant any good?

Horrendous.

"The Ring" and "SIlent Hill" were pretty good. The "Saw"s and "Hostel" were pretty messed up.

IMHO, Saw and Hostel are part of this 'modern' tendency to voyeurism. The storyline is secondary to the graphic torture (good writers are expensive and 'shock' is cheap). The Pit and the Pendulum, only without Poe's gift for drama. Reminds me of a Japanese art film (the name of which escapes me) about a hot young thing who lets a middle-aged man pick her up and take her home. Then she drugs him and proceeds to tie him up, let him awake, then cheerfully dismembers him (in graphic detail) with a wire survival saw. The storyline wasn't unlike Hard Candy, but the violence wasn't 'implied.'

I absolutely despise this rash of formulaic vampire/zombie/dystopian films we're in the midst of now. And they can't come up with new ideas, they just keep recycling old films. And most of the remakes are unmitigated shyte.

If you liked prometheus you will like it. Answers more questions that its predecessor did.

The acting of michael fassbender (david) is fantastic.

I thought it was a great movie

[Quester]

The Others and 28 days later were also good.

Definetly thought it was better. I love the alien series though so i may be fanboying it a little.

The acting was great and it definetly cleared some things up. The neomorphs were a great addition i thought

[Zodiac82]
