Can you suggest me a good horror film please?

[Clair De Lune]

As it's Friday the 13th and all

Not really into the kind where people get slowly tortured though Fine with gore and violence.

 

[TitanSound]

Does it have to be new/old/classic?

Wolf Creek

 

[quimcunx]

doctor jekyll and sister hyde.

 

[purves grundy]

My faves are: Exorcist; The Shining; Halloween; Carrie; Audition; Dawn of the Dead; Rosemary's Baby; Ring (the Jap original of course); errrm.....

There haven't been any good new ones for a long time. Wolf Creek's good but I generally prefer something with a supernatural touch to it, rather than just a nutter.

They're not super scary like films in the 80's, but both Paranormal Activity 1 and 2 and The Last Exorcism are a tad scary. For real horror, you cant get much worse than A Serbian Film.

 

[Fedayn]

Picnic at hanging rock.
Zombies: Dawn of the Dead.
30 days of night.
Razorback.
Nosferatu.

 

[weepiper]

The Shining
Devil's Backbone
The Others

 

[Zabo]

Drag Me To Hell A pastiche of the comedy horror genres. Brilliant! High Ratings Here

Whatever you do, don't watch A Serbian Film, Clair.

what's that about then? Is it a nutter one?

Let's just say it involves baby-rape. And not in a "normal" way. I've not seen it myself but have talked to traumatized survivors.

House of the Devil...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172994/ It's quite good. Made in 2009, but set and produced in the style of the 80's (design rather than quality.) Dunno if it was actually based on true events, but quite creepy.

The Rite...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1161864/ A sort of reworking of the exorcist, but with Anthony Hopkins doing what he does best - mysterious, hammy, and creepy.

ugh don't fancy that at all

There's also 'Don't Look Now', which is pretty good. I remember I also found 'Prince of Darkness' scary.

House of The Devil sounds alright.

 

[no-no]

I second the orphanage and the devils backbone.

30 days of night I couldn't get into, the head vampire looked too much like Neil Tennant, kept making me sing Go West!

 

[DotCommunist]

Devils Rejects is fairly messed up

directed by Rob Zombie who was in that band

 

[QueenOfGoths]

"The Mist" - based on a Stephen King novella is good. Not out and out horror but good nonetheless

The Orphanage is brilliant!

I still really rate the Hellraiser films too.

I love horror films but its such a big genre it depends on what type of horror your looking for

 

[TruXta]

One more vote for the Orphanage. If you want something a bit more full-on I highly recommend [REC], another fine Spanish horror.

Ah that's one I have been meaning to see.

I quite liked his rehash of Halloween with Malcom McDowel as the Dr too.

 

[Casually Red]

Tenebrae , Dario Argento being a right cunt . Fucking hatchet killer running about , man eating dogs . Eek .

Not going to watch that serbian film bollocks . Not least because Im sort of pro serbian .

 

[MellySingsDoom]

Uzumaki (Spiral) is a good, creepy one.
"M" for some classic Weimar-era cinema (with a political subtext to boot)
Psychomania (Hell's Angels from the dead in England - Irene Handl triumphs!)
Shock (Mario Bava's swansong)

 

[Casually Red]

Hasnyone seen that one " The Rite" yet , with Anthony Hopkins ? any good ?

And a great soundtrack to boot! Think I've got the vinyl of it at home somewhere.

Preferred House of 1000 Corpses myself, also liked his Halloween remake. Would recommend Martyrs, the torture in it is relevant to the story, not just gratuitous but I'm not sure it's a film you can 'enjoy' either way.

 

[kittyP]

Oh gosh yes I forgot for a second about all the Japanese and other South East Asian stuff.
I love the totally different take on horror.
You are just suppose to watch. If it does not make sense just carry on

Martyrs was a bit of a punishment to watch but great though.

Yeah, i liked it, typical catholic demon horror

A recent(ish) film that freaked me out a bit was Mirrors
