The Rite With Anthony Hopkins A Must See 10/10
I love a good horror but there are so few of them these days, or maybe I'm just getting harder to scare! However I did happen upon one the other day, 'The Fourth Kind'. Won't say too much for fear of spoiling it for others but it was really creepy and suspenseful - my poor little dog who was sat on my lap at the time found herself gripped a bit too firmly at times!!
Which films genuinely scare you and why?
The Rite With Anthony Hopkins A Must See 10/10
Insidious.
IT, sad but watched it young and still have shivers!

Went to see Carrie in the early 80's with my wife, scared witless by the screams of the audience at the end. As a result I tend to avoid "Horror" movies, prefer to be amused and made to laugh than to be made scared.
Once the original Grumpy Owld Man but alas no more
its really hard nowadays to get a good thriller, they seem to be more interested in pushing the gore factor,
which quite frankly spoils it as far as i'm concerned.
a good film in my mind, is one that makes the human mind conjour up far more frightful things from suggestion and imagination than could ever be shown on a screen! lol
Everyone is a genius,
but if you judge a fish
on its ability to climb a tree,
it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.....
Yes, I agree. I love suspense/horror movies that have a psychological twist. What I REALLY hate are those teen slasher movies with loads of blood and scantily clad screaming bimbos
Yes, I agree. 'Carrie' and the audience reaction to the scene where the hand shoots out of the grave is particularly frightening...though it was more the gasps and shrieks (from the audience) with me moreso than what was happening onscreen. Recently, only a 'Haunting in Connecticut' has made me close my eyes - more in repulsion than fear....I don't like seeing eyelids cut off, you see.
It's not a horror film as such but I am enjoying Shutter Island at the moment. In installments at bed-time...very atmospheric and rather unsettling.
The movie, that is...bed-time is really rather normal.
I like the film Last house on the left well worth watching
Insidious Im genuinely NEVER scared by movies, but that one made me jump alot and was really creepy! Dont think i could watch it again!
Saw the fourth kind aswell, thought it was creepy, and a darn site better than Paranormal activity!
I SWORE ON ONE THREAD!
GET OVER IT!!!!!
Remember Hellraiser was kinda shocker scary
Ooooh, Hellraiser! That gave me nightmares for weeks when I saw it first - probably at a stupidly young age!
I've always been into horror and would sneak downstairs as a kid after the parents were asleep to see if there was anything scary on the box. Many's the night when I ran hell-for-leather back up the stairs after a film, terrified that someone (or thing...) was behind me in the dark
The Strangers is the best scary film I've saw in a long time!
Multi-tasking? I can't even do two things at once. I can't even do one thing at once!
- Helena Bonham Carter.
I remember the very first scary film I ever saw. Saturday afternoon at our local cinema, back in the 1950's, when the cinema was full of kids who were sent there so parents could get some peace and quite. The film was called 'The Monster that Challenged the World'. We were all scared witless! All the more scary being in black and white!
Snowmen fall from the sky unassembled!
Just seen a trailer for the classic horror prequel - The Thing! That looks damn good! The original was Way ahead of its time.
"Let The Right One In", "Drag Me To Hell", "30 Days Of Night", "The Mist (2007)", "The Reaping", "Skeleton Key", "Splice" and "The Caller". I realise a good horror like anything else is subjective to each individual, but do feel free and try any of these out and make up your own mind. There have also been some good Asian orientated horror films if you are feeling open-minded. :O)
For me the old version of The Wickerman and Missisippi Burning are genuinely scary. Missisippi Burning is loosely based on true events. Very frightening!
