Best (scariest) horror flick?

[lightblue]

My Little Eye creeped me out a bit. Though it's not a real great film as such it does get under your skin. The DVD edition i great, even more immersion (it's all filmed with webcams, and there's lots of multiangle shots etc).

I loved The Village - though everyone I speak to seems to hate it. I spent over an hour trying to explain it a couple of people in rl once....total waste of time.

Wouldn't say it was particularly scary by any means...and probably not a 'horror' as such - but a pretty good film imho, quite unique.

The Ring.

My avatar is of that movie.

Best Horror/suspense imo.

Oh, as for genuinely 'scary' films, I recommend "Rosemary's Baby", "Nightmare on Elm Street" (all of them) and "Suspiria" (not sure how it's spelt....)

This movie is almost a comedy. Saw them when I was like 10 years old and laughed my ass off. You cant be serious.

Yes, yes I can. I personally found them scary. There are undoubted humorous parts, but overall I thought they were horror rather than comedy.

There you go, serious and deliberately thick in the space of 24 hours; god I love it here

Didn't say it was any good.. but I thought a general pre-requisite for horror movies was that they're "so bad they're good again" kinda quality. Anyway, you can get creeped out by crap movies as much as much as good movies, and this did the job for me Any of the other mentioned mostly just bore me really. I am not really one for jump-style horror, I can see most of that coming a mile off.

I thought that was a comedy- especially when the mother died.

I don´t get scared by bad movies. Just annoyed at the stupid acting and inept directing

Comedy? feh.

See the American version of "The Ring" over "Ringu." The original Japanese version is kinda dull. The American version is superior, though not flawless.

I'm a fan of haunted house movies, myself:

"The Haunting" from 1963. Very scary--I kept the lights on after seeing this one. Not to be confused with the crap remake from 1998 with Liam Neeson.

"The Innocents." I think from the late 1950s. Based on Henry James's "A Turn of the Screw."

"The Woman in Black" - this is a made-for-TV British film from the late 70s (I think). It's actually pretty terrifying, especially the last scene.

"The Changeling" - Another 70s flick with George C. Scott. It's a pretty spooky haunted house tale, but the ending is a bit of a letdown.

"Ghost Story" - This is from the early 80s I think. 4 old guys terrorized by a ghost from their past. Very effective.

1 & 3 I did not find very scary. In fact, the ending of "Rosemary's Baby" made me laugh--it seemed quite silly.

"Suspiria" just seemed a rehash of a lot of horror tropes that had already been covered by American flicks.

Now, "Nightmare" was indeed scary. I haven't watched it since I was a kid, though. I avoided all the sequels like the plague as I just didn't want to deal with Freddy.
