Can you recommend me a good horror film?

[Johnny Canuck3]

The Michael Winner film ? Are you being serious ?

Yeah. That film presented ideas that made me quite uncomfortable. That, to me, is a good horror movie. To me, it's not about blood, or even suspense so much, although that's more important. It's the ideas it's portraying, and how they're portrayed.

Random brain fart ? How does that qualify as a recommendation then ?

Because it was very effective as a horror movie. Op said she wants to be scared silly.

Scared me silly.

I found it in turns idiotic, incompetent and tedious, but it takes all sorts. Not sure where you saw any great ideas. Great move to on Winners part to use actual disabled and disfigured people as "demons from hell" or whatever.

For some bizarre reason I always used to get Michael Winner and Ken Russell mixed up in my head even though I knew they were totally different people

It's been a long time since I watched it. I'd probably consumed some sort of substance, to boot, given the time frame.

Whatever the reason, it scared me, and I won't watch it again.

One had talent the other didn't.

That's pioneering! Stephen Spielberg was lauded for doing this in Saving Private Ryan to make battle scenes more realistic, yet it was Winner who blazed the trail. All hail Michael Winner!

i liked this fakeplasticgirl , maybe its my love for cornwall but there was something about it that elevated the film

The Lovely Bones was a horror to sit through, but not in a good way.

lol i did like that film, theres another one about a serial killer that i saw on bbc2 1 nite, guy ends up buying a garage because he can't solve the murders that was pretty good but the title escapes me

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Paperhouse

I haven't seen that in ages.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Night of the Demon.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I haven't seen that in ages.

I like it because it is so simple, the horror is scary but not gory, and it feels genuine. One of the best and most natural performances by a young person I've seen.

Come and See (Idi i Smotri), not a horror film i know, but i can't think of another film more full of horror. One of the few films that still gets to me and one i will probably never watch again.
