That movie bored the piss out of me. I was a fan of the game stalker so i thought the movie would be ok, take a nap instead imo.

If they made a Metro 2033 movie and did it right, combining elements from both the book and the game, it would be some creepy, scary, awesome gak.
I just finished playing through Metro 2033, and I freaking LOVED it. About halfway through the book as well. That game did a better job at being creepy than dead space, and most movies. I remember walking through the part with the ghosts, seeing that ghost train and hearing the voices, and it sent chills down my spine.

Read the book. There are some English translations out there. Get them if you can
Well lucky for me its bargain bin material now And now back on topic for once this week.
Just watched Candyman out of boredom. It wasnt scary at all.....it was rather cheesy really (I couldnt stand seeing his awesome outfit and then those dinky little shoes he was wearing. I think the coat threw everything off) at least there was some incredibly random boob shots here and there So Id suggest it on a rainy boring day
I like the original thing almost as much as the 83 version.

Keeping in mind how old it was I thought it was good.
How many black and white movies do you think are good?
Name a few.

I really don't watch any, I only watched the original version of The Thing because I loved the '83 version so much.
I found that the original was like they tried to make the '83 version but couldn't due to the sensibilities of the period so made something much camper and far less interesting.
Convinced the wife to watch the original Day of the Dead for her first time. She really liked it, but some of the scenes made her cringe. It was hilarious to me. So I guess in that regard, it did a better job then most movies these days

I totally forgot about Day of the Dead!
That was a good film, I've not watched it in ages...

Shame on you Corpses, how on earth could you forget about Bub?
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Damnit! KC confused me, I meant Night of the Living Dead!

I watch Dawn and Day of the Dead often.
Sure, blame the big bearded guy... Joking aside, I would consider the first three Romero films to be quite " scary", at least when one considers the premise behind them.
I know many of the jaded " nothing scares me" contigency may say that " Bah, zombie movies aren't scary", but I contend that that same lot would be amongst the first to soil their delicate under garments should alctual flesh eating corpses began to stand up and start strolling around on the prowl for something tasty.

A lot of people were saying how Cloverfield was pretty scary, but the only thing that bothered me about it was the headache caused by the Micheal J Fox style of camerawork.
I've heard really terrible things about "A Serbian Film", but haven't watched it. Probably won't.
One of my good friends is obsessed with horror movies, and watched it.
Apparently it was so disturbing, that he went and showered, got drunk, smoked a few packs, and called off of work to go to church the next day(he's agnostic). And he couldn't sleep for a few days.
I know some others who have seen it, and it's hit them pretty bad as well.

Anyone on Dakka seen it?
A Serbian Film?....can't say I've heard of it ( which is strange), but given what you've said about it...I am now intrigued.

I've got to admit, 28 Days Later scared the crap out of me when I saw it first. I have an awful fear of any kind of "infection" like that, and the way it was portrayed in that film was so brutal and rapid it absolutely tapped into my fears.

It's banned in Norway, Spain, and Serbia, and the makers of it and people who run the film festivals screening it are being prosecuted because the movie apparently has intense scenes of necrophilia and pedophilia.
Spoiler:
I've been told there's a scene where the main character is raping a woman as she gives birth, and then rapes the baby after it is born.
Real or not, that's just fethed up.

My favorite horror movie was Alien, but the one that scared me most was The Hunger Games. I threw up after watching it because of the crappy camera work. I cried on the inside as I witnessed the crappy cast pretend to be worried. That movie shook my faith in the world of cinematography.
I guarantee you that I'm not really as smart as the test says:
Test Your IQ
Dawn of the Dead (Original) is probably one of my fav horror films. The zombies look awful and all the fake blood is way too bright, but the film makes up for it through sheer awesomeness. Tis a shame that Roger died; I suppose he was too awesome to live. And also too reckless. But mostly too awesome.

....I just read the wikipedia article about that movie. Never watching it, ever. EVAR.

I wish they would do a horror film with good a good ol ghost haunting but the film was shot in first person (not video camera style). I loved those scenes in first person movies like REC were the guy was walking down a corridor but it felt more intense because you are seeing it all from their POV.
