Saw was an interesting concept and quite disturbing.
The scariest thing in the film world though is how Adam Sandler keeps getting money to make more of his shit.
It wasn't remotely scary, but the first time I saw Pitch Black we had a power cut just as the credits started rolling, which was a bit
28 Days Later scared me, but more in a disturbed 'what if that sort of thing really happened?' kind of way.
I honestly can't remember ever been that scared at a film. Jumpy, yes, but properly scared - nope. I'm obviously 'ard
Titanic - absolutely horrifying. I was bored all the way through Paranormal Activity, I just thought it came across like one of those crappy Derek Acora programmes (or whatever his name is). Jaws terrfied me when I was a kid, and the clown scene out of Poltergeist.
Proper scary films though - The Grudge and Ring, both in the original Japanese. In fact pretty much any Japanese horror gets my heart racing.
Final Destination 2 I think was disturbing. Two girls fried on sunbeds..not nice at all.
Anyone seen the Human Centipede? OH.... MY.... GOD...
I've not been able to watch the Saw films and don't think I could handle the human Centipede. Its not that I can't do gore - love it in some films - but they're just a bit too....dunno.....there's just something about them that makes me want to steer clear.
I Am Legend didn't scare me, in fact I thought for the most part it was pretty tedious, but the 'baddie' in it absolutely freaked me out for some reason - actually gave me nightmares that woke me up in a cold sweat. then again, I was drinking quite heavily at that time, but 'he' obviously pushed the scary button for me!
28 Days later is one of my favourite films, I was gutted when I watched the sequel.
When I first saw The Shining, I slept with the light on for a month! I'm much less easily scared now but don't like watching scary films on my own. Most of my friends don't like horror, so I don't really get to see anything much. Tried to see The Ring (Japanese) at a local arthouse cinema when it was out but it was full and we couldn't get in.
The series True Blood has a few jumpy bits in it and IMO it's a good-quality vampire yarn.
Ringu - yes.
Quatermass and the Pit - from my childhood - kinda black and white that gets shown on old movie channels. Still can't bring myself to watch it.
+1 for the original Japanese Ring - my jaw literally dropped at the scary moment
It took me ages to work up the courage to see the Shining as the book terrified me and although it wasn't quite as bad it was still scary.
But the film that scared me the most was Nightmare on Elm Street when I was 19. I had to sleep with the lights on for a month! I'm sure if I saw it again it probably wouldn't be that scary but maybe it would...
I watched The Vanishing when I was in the middle of my finals, and already quite highly strung. I didn't know about it, it just seemed like an interesting little romantic yarn. The ending was so horrifying it bothered me for months afterwards.
I understand there's an American remake with a different ending, which sounds a bit like changing the ending of Titanic where the ship doesn't sink.
Rickster it was shown on Syfy the other week...weird is the onyl word for it.
For me, Silent Hill..never expected the ending.
Good Koren horror R-Point...Had to watch it twice to make sure the thing i saw actually happend as its so well made.
The excorcist
scarred the begebus out of me when I sneeked in to see it when I was 16, had to sleep with lights on for weeks.
Don't watch many scary movies now as I like my sleep and my sanity.
Blood and guts don't bother me too much but the paranrnormal,unknown, physcological stuff I realy don't like...so I don't whatch it much
