Scariest movie...?

Lantus · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 6:11am

Simple. What is the scariest movie you have ever seen. I'm not sure about this one. Maybe The Ring, but i'm not sure.

nior · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 6:43am

I'd say Ju-On (The Grudge), the Japanese version. I was too scared to watch even the trailer so I never really did watch the movie.

eveningdrive · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 7:34am

Ringu (The Ring, Japanese Version). Its scarier than the Hollywood version, and they did it almost without special effects or make-up.

T2Bruno · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 3:23pm

The Birds. Watching it at midnight -- alone -- when a real bird hit the window. I thought I was going to need to change my shorts.

Cúchulainn · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 3:40pm

I would also go with Ringu. It was pure atmosphere rather than special effects and huge actors/actresses.

I might also include a black and white movie called 'The Spiral Staircase'

Takara · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 4:20pm

Event horizon for me, and after that: Cube.

I wouldnt say they scared me, as I've never been scared by a movie. However, thosr two really creeped me the F*** out.

Harbourboy · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 8:00pm

Of course a lot depends on where and when you see the movie. I am rarely scared by movies but two that creeped the hell out of me were:

The Blair Witch Project (because I had to walk home by myself past some woods late at night after leaving the cinema)

What Lies Beneath (because I was staying by myself in a house at the time)

Takara · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 8:53pm

Talking of weird going homes. I'd just been to the cinema to watch Sleepy Hollow. On the way home, I passed someone wearing this really old school cowl. It was like they were straight out of the movie. That was creepy. Didnt have the same effect given the type of film Sleepy hollow is though.

Midwinter · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 9:03pm

Event Horizon. I'm with Takara though - it was far more creepy than scary (but it certainly was creepy!).

SleepleSS · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 9:37pm

The ring a mix of the american and the japanese version. They where both scary but togheter they are teryfying (SP)!

Jazhara7 · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 10:07pm

Well, I used to be quite scared of the big rat that the top witch in the movie "The witches", turned into. But not any longer.

T2Bruno · Thu, 2nd Dec '04, 10:33pm

The Barney Movie -- I still have nightmares....

Eeep! I get nightmares even from just imagining it.

The Shining.

Stanley Kubrick did a masterful job creating an incredible atmosphere. The music, the acting, the cinematography, the stark cuts and transitions, everthing combined to create what is, in my opinion, the single best horror movie ever.

Close second would have to be Candyman. Except that it's not really that scary, but the magical, almost sureal feeling in the movie is great. It and the music really do a superb job of creating a strange feeling for the movie.

teekc · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 1:32am

The Eye (a movie made by Singorean investor, Malaysian actress and Hong Kong director)

This one particular scene where the actress was sitting beside a writting table, she heard someone shouting at her "why are in my seat?!" She looked around, and suddenly, a horrifying figure flying at the audience. That simple.

i was in a mall which has a video store showing latest arrivals. i knew this scene was coming, i knew what does the horrifying figure looks like, i stood there and waited for the scene. When the figure came flying at me, i was scared, broad day light, in a crowded mall.

Aldazar · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 3:07am

Well, the only movie that ever really scared me was Evil Dead which I only managed to sit through up until the pencil-in-the-ankle bit,but hey I WAS 12. But since then, nothing has even come close except perhaps Ringu. I't near impossible to actually scare me with a movie these days.

Lantus · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 8:27am

The grudge. Dear me. I saw it not only just the other day (only cmae out her in Australia not long ago) and my gosh, i'm never getting my hopes up again. I hated it, absolute crap. That's all i have to say about that

Also, the Excorcist is pretty good (good=scary) me thinks, and the Ringu is alright. Didn't give me the same affect as the ring though.

joacqin · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 11:24am

Alien, I have yet to see it. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid and I have still to dare to watch it. This despite me loving Aliens and to a lesser extent Resurrection.

Lynadin · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 2:11pm

It must have been 10 years ago, when I first saw The Shining.

It really scared me to death like no other movie ...

Register · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 6:52pm

Ringu, I third that. I hate scary movies, but this one is a classic.

Morgoth · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 7:26pm

Quote:

I hate scary movies

Quote:

'It's not going to be a ghost story?' said he, sitting down beside the princess and hastily adjusting his lorgnette, as if without this instrument he could not begin to speak.
'Why no, my dear fellow,' said the astonished narrator, shrugging his shoulders.
'Because I hate ghost stories,' said Prince Hyppolite in a tone which showed that he only understood the meaning of his words after he had uttered them.
He spoke with such self-confidence that his hearers could not be sure whether what he said was very witty or very stupid.

Sorry just had to do that

10 points for the one guessing the book! (maybe we should make a 'Guess the book' game).

I liked the Ringu as well, the Exorcist had me lauging outright, so shrap that as scary, and there was that Michael Jackson movie that scared the hell out of me, maybe because I was a young boy when I watched it

Enagonios · Fri, 3rd Dec '04, 7:32pm

I have YET to be scared by movies like that, instead, please offer your scariest offer to get me to a movie that will scare the crap out of me. It's gotta be a non-supernatural one as those bore me though. I think the closest one was "Willard" but that was more of disgust than fear. Rats. I HATE rats.

I live near a small park. Every time I pass the trees I can hear and see the evil Von Trapp children in their horendous 'curtain-clothing', hanging from the branches, singing their wicked song!
I should never have been watching The Sound of Music...

I never watched many movies, but I liked the way What Lies Beneath was filmed. I have litle to compare with, though.

Takara · Sun, 5th Dec '04, 12:43am

@Enagonios... it may not scare you, but Cube will leave you feeling creeped out, and pretty confused. I think it really leaves you with a slightly icky feeling. Best offering I can think of.

Jesper898 · Sun, 5th Dec '04, 1:07am

"What lies beneath". Damn, that movie is scary
