I love horror movies… But lately I’ve found no good scary movies at all.
“Devil”? No. Come on, the Devil is really in an elevator? Stupid story to begin with, but at least that one had… Okay, I don’t know what that one had… Paranormal Activity… started out good… had potential.. then the ending totally ruined the whole movie. Paranormal Activity 2 was even worse… the super slow build up that lead to nothing but bitter disappointment.
I just watched “The Last Exorcism”. This flick was semi interesting… A fake preacher doing a fake exorcism that turns out to be real… at best, it got “interesting”… had some potential… and then the ending was the worst of the retarded cliche endings that made Paranormal Activity look brilliant.
Ewe Boll could have made better horror movies than these. These are “Pants On The Head” retarded. I want my Dollar Fifty back from the Red Box.
Where are the good new Horror movies? If this is what American Horror Film Makers are doing – they need to go back to Remaking Japanese Horror movies. Or just quit… and go away. Second thought, yes… do that. Go away…
It’s not new, but have you ever seen “Children of the Corn?” I only saw a few clips of it on TV once (once!) and I had nightmares for a week.
Yes, I’ve seen all the classics…
That little preacher kid still gives me the creeps.
He didn’t scare me as much as that tall red-headed boy did. What was his name again?… *time passes as Raptor checks the interwebz*… Oh yeah, Malachai. He scared the pi$$ out of me!
Rose Red? It’s a miniseries (you can rent it like a movie), but it freaked me out but good when I watched it the first time. Of course I was watching it with my girlfriend in the pitch dark and I think we were mostly freaking each other out. I slept with the lights on for like a week!
When I watched it again in a bright room with a bunch of my family members, it seemed kinda silly. I guess that just goes to show how much the atmosphere affects a movie experience. You can’t go around watching horror movies in a brightly lit room full of people, it just doesn’t work.
It’s been out for a few years but Del Toro’s THE ORPHANAGE is a great twisty ghost story.
I remember the first time I saw “Alien.” My mom’s boyfriend had a VCR (this was in the early 80’s) and he rented that movie for my 7th or 8th birthday and I remember that show scaring the piss out of me. To me, that movie had it all: great characters, forboding & hostile location and environment, powerful and scary alien and near uncontrollable suspense. That movie for me was the benchmark of horror and it still holds up today.
Me too. But it was my Aunt that had it and I watched it… and have never forgotten it. I agree it is an almost perfect horror flick and sets the bar very high.
Have you seen The Rite with Anthony Hopkins?
The Mule. OMG the mule!
