Horror Movies Discussion

Hi,

I am starting this thread for all lovers of all types of horror movies out there.

Suggest, rate and critic horror movies here.

My favourite horror movies are Japanese horror flicks or those based on japanese movies, such as the Grudge series. There are no scarier movies IMHO.

Almost all horror movies other than from bollywood.
Every *horror* movie made in bollywood are more like comedy movies. They make you laugh at one point or the other.

I would suggest
SAW 1 - Nice gripping screenplay. Interesting thing is almost 80% of movie is completed in just one room.
Wrong turn 1 - Not so terrifying but I liked it.
Final destination Series - You won't have the courage to able look at the screen during some scenes.

Amen to that. I've stopped watching all Bollywood horror movies (or Bollywood movies for that matter), so I don't know what's new in the movies this way. That's why I think Japs do a better job at scaring the **** out of you and making you go WTF at the same time, followed closely by American/other horror movies.

The reason Bollywood movies suck so much, I think, is because they rely too much on scarier entities and not on the story (ex. The four eyed girl from Bhoot 2 got me cracking :lol:

).

These are more like gore flicks IMHO, but I do accept Gore-flicks are a perfectly valid form of horror

. Newer Saw series suck IMHO, but 1-5 are great, same for Final Destination. Seen Wrong Turn 2, story is a bit cheesy, but since it has a B-grade feel to it, I do not complain.

If you like Paranormal Activity series, check out Noroi: The Curse (2005) - IMDb. This is much MUCH better than Paranormal Activity, has a constant eerie feel to it and story is much better. Language : Japanese with English subs.

these ones are my favs

Nosferatu (1922) - IMDb

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) - IMDb

The Call of Cthulhu (2005) - IMDb

Ah Well , I do agree that Bollywood horror movies are wastage of Time. However "1920 The Horror Movie" did seemed scary to me upto a great extent.
My list will include :

1.1920(Bollywood)
2.1408
3.The Shining(1980)
4.Silent Hill: Revelation
5.1920 Evil returns " Will be released on 2nd Nov. , expecting it to be even better than part 1 as per the trailer."

Haven't come across any other movie that seems terrifying enough , so as not to watch alone in night.

Btw , I didn't find Saw or Cannibal holocaust or any similiar movie scary , since they don't have anything supernatural.

I dint know there are movies for these games.
Are the movies same as the games?

Try out yourself

IMHO, The Call Of Cthulhu movie is not based on the game.

Anyone watched Paranormal Activity 4 ?

Need a review.

I have not even seen PA2.

But from what I hear from friends who have seen it, it 5ucks. But I cannot judge until I've seen it myself.

Saw PA3 last week. It lacks the grip of its predecessors.
Thinking of watching "Grave Encounter" this weekend.

these are the horror movies i liked :

the ring series
the grudge series
final destination series
1920 was good enough (bollywood)
exorcism was good too
paranormal activity series i didnt like at all
actually i hate horror movies it scares the hell out of me but i still saw them

LOL

1920 Evil returns is going to be released this Week. ANyone going for it ???? I saw the Trailer , pretty sure it will be scary enough.

Exorcism of Emily Rose is quite scary for me. Sinister from the same director is released this week and is getting quite good reviews. The Rite was disliked by many but I found it quite similar to Emily Rose.

By the way, why a different thread. One movie thread is already there and all the horror movies are already recommended there.

I am trying to make this a one stop thread for horror movies. Instead of a supermarket full of flicks.

Soon we will see Action movies discussion, Animated movies discussion, Comedy movies discussion, bla bla bla... soon :lol:

Perhaps we need a "Movies" sub-forum under Chit-chat then.

^yea , for movies freak like us!

If gore is included in the horror genre, then that is not my cup of tea. I don't like seeing movies like Hostel series, Texas Chainsaw massacre, Friday the 13th, Resident Evil series, final destination series, etc. I put these types of movies as sick and retarded. Horror movies I have specifically liked:

-The Grudge series (both the Japanese and the remakes)
-The Ring
-What lies beneath and it's hindi remake Raaz.
-Shutter (both the original Thai film and it's American remake)
-1920 (bollywood)
-Vastu Shastra (I genuinely freaked out the first time I saw it)
-Bram Stoker's Dracula starring the young Keanu Reeves and Wynona Ryder
-Monihara (part of the bengali film 'Teen Kanya' directed by Satyajit Ray, which is a compilation of 3 films based on 3 short stories by Rabindranath Tagore)
-The Thing
-Alien
-Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2
-Anaconda (I dont know whether to classify this as horror or thriller). Not the sequels though.
-The Mummy (same reason as above). Not the sequels, again. May be it's my imagination and fascination with the Egyptian history and the mummies and the pyramids. I still see it sometimes when it is telecast on HBO/Star Movies. Even I took the The Mummy ride specifically when I went to visit Universal Studios at Los Angeles.
-Ginger snaps
-Silver Bullet

Will post more when I remember.

Possession Worth watching!

Agree with you. Gore isn't my cup of tea either.(Like cannibal holocast)
Horror means something paranormal ansd spooky.

,

Horror means something that scares you or fills you with dread. Gore can be scary in its own way, so IMHO, its somewhere high up on the scare pyramid.

^WEll then I think Gore doesn't scares me.

,

Cannibal holocaust(sickest!)
Exitenz(sick)
Texas chainsaw massacre(my fav)
Perfume
Friday the 13th
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
American psyco
Scream
The blair witch project
Buried

also like to know some good(bad) jap movies..

Perfume - Is that HORROR?

Theres a horror movie called 'Alice in wonderland',with zero gore,but still scary.that might actually please you.

it is,if it scares you !

any movie that scares the sh*t out of you is considered as horror .

BTw , I saw 1920 Evil Returns today ,(This was the first time I ever went to movie theater).
DIdn't find the storyline scary enough , unlike 1920 original. Also the acting was another drawback. Acting was much better in 1920 original , and thats what made it scary.
However , the effects in movie and graphics were good.

"The Woman In Black " : Outstanding Horror Movie. A must watch. You will be scared for sure , watch it alone at night.

These 2 are my favourites:
Dead Silence - Pure horror. No gore. Surprisingly the script was written by the same guy who wrote Saw

A Cabin in the Woods - A horror movie with a very novel concept.

I recently watched The Strangers. It was alright. I'd give it a 7 in scariness. It's the one where the people with masks on haunt this couple. I'm pretty sure it was inspired by the Manson killings.

I'm hoping to see The Collector in a few days.

watching those scary movies is a mental torment

What's the point of watching something that's barely funny, let alone scary? It's like using a cheap chinese iPhone duplicate.

Horror movies with calorie burning (good for those who want to burn fat )

1. The Shining: 184 calories

2. Jaws: 161 calories

3. The Exorcist: 158 calories

4. Alien: 152 calories

5. Saw: 133 calories

6. A Nightmare on Elm Street: 118 calories

7. Paranormal Activity: 111 calories

8. The Blair Witch Project: 105 calories

9. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: 107 calories

The Blair Witch Project got pretty bad reviews, but I think it was a great movie. It is the father of the camera, found tape genre of horror.

recently watched Paranormal Activity 1-4.: :evil:

Watch this movie Sinister. Great horror, at least one jump scare moment and unexpected twist.

^^ Yes it is an amazing movie. Freaked me out at night.

Also watch Insidious. Equally good.

Watched Evil Dead (2013), pretty **** movie. No psychological foorprint whatsoever and lacking all the qualities that made the original a classic. Very bad use of gore IMHO.

Raaz Restart is a forthcoming Indian movie written and instructed by Vikram Bhatt which features Emraan Hashmi and Kriti Kharbanda in the lead positions. The movie is it all sequel of Raaz movie series.

It's Raaz Reboot! And already released.

Didn't know this thread existed. And as I reckon, OP is Desmond

.
Insidious 1&2 are the worst horror movies I have seen in this genre. So much build up and what a s*** ending.
Keep this thread updated with Horror movies.
Anyone saw Lights Out?? I will soon see Conjuring 2 and Lights Out
Also, checkout the Lights Out Short film on youtube(literally short, 2mins). Try to watch with all the lights off at home.

Last scary japanese horror movie I watched was Noroi: The Curse.

It is filmed in a style similar to The Blair Witch Project, its basically a documentary of a person investigating a series of paranormal events but uncovers something much MUCH worse.

It's in japanese, so watch with subs.
