Wolf Creek sucked something terrible. Seriously, who could like that steamer?

It was certainly no Wolf Lake, that's for sure. Lou Diamond Phillips for the win.

Lou Diamond Phillips for sure. The guy has been in good movies, and uber cheesy ones, but somehow they are always at least watchable. I dunno how he does it.

Pure charm, and nothing else.

For instance, The Mist... while overall a crap movie, that ending sequence was hard for me.. just thinking what i'd do when faced with that situation, especially how it all turned out.

Then Harry Brown... it's hard to put my finger on what made this movie so unsettling for me, but it did.. Michael Caine was absoutely fething brilliant in this movie.

And of course, like others have said, Se7en is a pretty good "scary" movie, not for startling Horror genre tricks, but for its plausibility in real life.

I actually liked The Mist, both the book and the movie. However, the book does not have the same ending-the book was open ended, the movie had a VERY definite ending. The mother's fate is also unclear in the book. But the book and movie were both great at pointing out how badly man can/will turn on each other when faced with such shock and travesty. That said, I didn't find it scary as all, just science fiction and a far better version of Lord of the Flies (which was discussed by director and Stephen King when the movie was being made). And yes, the special effects were bad, but the story was great, and I love anything with Tom Jane in it. Guy rocks. And that end sequence, as you pointed out...one of the most fethed up endings in Hollywood, I believe. I'd be hard pressed to find a rougher ending, not including the crap of Saw where the victim takes over the job of Jigsaw. I know the story, but it's still a stupid and worthless movie. Human Centipede is far better than Saw (and that's REALLY saying something, as that movie was a colossal joke all throughout).

I too liked the Mist. It was a pretty griping story and yea, the ending, was such a WTF for the guy.

I liked the mist but as someone else said I view it as more of a bleak scifi film rather than a horror.

The most fethed up thing i ever did and also the reason im scared of gak all is because when i was younger (about 4) i watched starship troopers. scared the crap out of me. aside from that tremors 2 when i was in secondary. My over reactive mind prevented me from going onto soil for weeks. Aside from that.... well im hopeing for results when i turn 18 and can watch the good stuff. Yes i am a horror addict.

Tremors 2 and Starship troopers aren't horrors son.

The Midnight Meat Train was pretty good. With the porn name i wasn't expecting much, but was surprised on how much I liked it.

Cannot watch that film.....read the short story it is based on (Clive Barker, you insane genius....) and it is scary as hell, dont wanna go near seeing it in 'Real Life'

Yea, not even close. More like cheesy funny films, they arnt scary, nor meant to be scary, in any way shape or form.

Yup.

My favourite horror movie is the mothman prophecies. There is no splatter, it's all psychological. Of course, when I saw it I already knew the story so the mystery they were building up to was already known to me.

Say that to the 4 year old me with an over active imagination. damn but they were some fethed up dreams i had..... well back then they were but now theyd be relatively nice actualy.

So why did you post that

Well if this is how we gauge horror movies, Id suggest any Ernest saves *insert random thing*

That film does a surprisingly good job at setting a creepy mood, considering the material itself is silly and nonsensical. Guess that's a backhanded compliment, but it's intended to be a compliment nonetheless.

And I wouldn't call Midnight Meat Train a great horror film, but it was better than I thought it would be.

Just watched Cannibal Holocaust. Wasn't too keen on it...

-Wolf Guard 252

Just watched Jeepers Creepers for the first time in some years. It was better then I remember

I remember watching Jeepers Creepers 2 with a small group and we laughed our collective asses off.

Yea the 2nd one was pretty asstastic. The first one actually comes off as a "scary" movie.

The first was a pretty good one. I didn't like number 2 though.

Thats how I feel about the Saw movies. The first one was fantastic, and the twist at the end was excellent. After that though, strait gore porn and nothing else.

No one's mentioned Poltergeist.

Dunno how many here would remember this, but that move was PG, if you can believe that. Note that this was before PG-13 existed. The MPAA was gonna give it an "R" rating, but Spielberg successfully lobbied them for a PG. Which probably scarred the psyches of countless young children in the process, LOL.

Ooh, a hard one, obviously Poltergeist, Exorcist, Ju-On, Hellraiser, Cannibal Holocaust and Devil's Rejects all scare the gak outta me

But first and foremost, most disturbing, scary and fethed up film. The Human Centipede

I'd say the same about Devil's Rejects, unless there is a Devil's Rejects that I havent seen yet.

Yes, Human Centipede was a terribly sadistic film. Although I thought 2 was way worse than 1...
