Title: I want a scary movie
Post by: HorkoLad on Oct 28, 2005, 11:14 AM
Only once was I ever remotely freaked out after watching a movie. I'm looking for something to totally F with me. I've seen the Exorcist...The Oman...Halloween...all that stuff....it doesn't really do anything for me. I want to be seriously DISTURBED. Please give me something to watch.

i thought the texas chainsaw massacra remake was one of the best i've ever seen, just because it was so tense while she's running from the dude and you think everybody's gonna get frickin sliced.

also good, The Thing. With Kurt Russel and an amazing beard.

I actually never saw the original TCM...but the guy here at work told me that it would totally fuck with me. Is this true? The likes of Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th, don't do it for me though.

original TCM is one of my favourites
but more disturbing than scary

this one scared the shit out of me:
A Tale of Two Sisters
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365376/

and this one will freak you out for sure:

If classic horror movies give you the heeby jeebies I'd strongly recommend the original texas chainsaw massacre.  There's no music, just grainy 70s film and really creepy backwoods people.

There's a movie that I've never seen but I've heard it's pretty disturbing... it may be call 8 millimeter with Nicholas Cage.  It's about a guy investigating these sex tapes that involve women being brutally murdered and raped on film.  Anybody have any clue what I'm talking about?

The Nicolas Cage film is 8MM.  I didn't think it was that scary though.  I have to admit that the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is very scary.  It is just a creepy type of film.  I am a big original Halloween fan.  I still think that was a great film.

I'm not a Nicholas Cage fan which is probably why I never saw it...  glad to know I wasn't missing anything.

I agree about TCM and the original Halloween.  Mrs. Vorhees.  BLECH.

Henry,Portrait of a Serial Killer. It's pretty scary because it was loosely based on the life of Henry Lee Lucas. Pretty gritty and disturbing stuff.

The tale of two sisters was very confusing to me... I thought they all looked the same so I never figured out the plot. I thought they were ALL the same person - the dad, the stepmom, the sisters everyone. It didn't scare me at all...
I thought the movie "The bloody castle of the vampires" (I'm not sure this is really what it's called in English, but it's a translation from the Swedish title) from the mid 70's was scary. Then again I was 9 when I saw it. No movie has scared me since that one.
A friend of mine has a lot of autopsy-videos. They gross me out.

Saw was seriously the most disturbing movie i've ever seen. it was incredibly fucked up, yet so much fun to watch...

so i'd suggest that, jeff... it seriously fucks with your head.

Another one I've not seen but have heard very good things about is The Descent.

Scary is the fact that I have little enough of a life that every single one of the most recent posts for every section of this board belongs to me.

Even scarier is that I plotted this and thought it would be awesome.

I thought Saw had a lot of potential but fell flat with Carey Elwes as the lead.  He's no good outside of satire.  

Watched Amityville Horror this weekend and it was formulaic at best.

I remember being in Paris & seeing the Blair Witch before it opened in the UK. I knew nothing of the movie or the hype around it & it freaked the hell out of me!
Very simple, clever movie.

The allure of the movie, in my opinion, was not really knowing whether or not it was real.  You're absolutely right... it was scary because it was so simple.  This is something I've heard many times:  scary movies try to do too much!  And they do!  What you don't see is far freakier than what you do see.

For those that thought The Blair With Project was scary, here is some seriously disturbing stuff, and obviously a big inspiration.


Cannibal Holocaust (1979)

While Umberto Lenzi began the Italian-made cycle of brutal Amazonian cannibal horrors with Il Paese del Sesso Selvaggio and effectively ended it with the nauseating Cannibal Ferox, it was Ruggero Deodato who directed the subgenre's most enduring film.
This popular bloodbath features a fetus ripped from a woman's body, people fed to piranhas and impaled on spikes, a genuine tortoise-flaying, and numerous other indignities, both real and simulated.
The plot concerns the efforts of a group of American explorers to discover the fate of a missing documentary film crew.
They receive a scratchy film-reel containing the bloody truth from a tribe of tree-dwelling natives, and the reel's contents make up the bulk of the film. Advertisements claimed that "the crew who filmed it were actually devoured alive by cannibals," yet most of them were spotted alive in future unsavory gore films.

While the film is undoubtedly gruesome enough to satisfy fans, its mixture of nauseating mondo animal slaughter, repulsive sexual violence, and pie-faced attempts at socially conscious moralizing make it rather distasteful morally as well. The fact that the film's sole spokesperson for the anti-exploitation perspective is played by porno star Richard Bolla should give an indication of where its sympathies lie.

By the end of the film, the violent (literally and aesthetically) images leave viewers with an unshakable sickness that they won't soon forget. Composer Riz Ortolani's score effectively moves from a familiar, somewhat pensive melody into harsh tones that make viewers actually feel the violence they bear witness to onscreen. This is not a film that is watched, it is a film that is endured, and audiences that have any doubts about their ability to do so are best advised to follow their instincts.

Cannibal Holocaust was the most famous of the "video nasties" that all got banned & disappeared for a few years in the early 80's.
Last House On The Left that Primus mentioned was another.
Cannibal Ferox, I Spit on Your Grave etc.
Most have been released again now & look pretty tame by todays standards but I've heard that Cannibal Holocaust is pretty fucked up.

it will definitely be interesting if he gets creative freedom to do what he wants but I doubt it, hollywood will be hollywood.
