Must Have Horrors

sid369 · 10-23-06, 06:53 PM

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and I must say that this forum Rocks. I am a big fan of horror movies and I struck gold with this forum as I got to know about so many of the movies that I have not even seen until now which you guys have talked in the forum. I am planning on buying the best of the Horror movies. Let me tell you what kind I like -
Grudge
Ring
omen
dawn of the dead
prince of darkness
fright night
the hitcher
dead end
the black cadillac(not exactly horror but suspense)
high tension
blair witch project etc

I would like your suggestions to help me out

I don't like gory stuff, what makes me exited is suspense, thrill and spookyness

So if you guys can pitch in it would be great.

Cheers!!!

I noticed you put The Grudge and The Ring on your list. Have you checked out their Asian origins? They rely more on spookiness rather than gore.

I have seen the Japaneese version of both The Grudge and The Ring when I was in India. They showed it on HBO as part of the japaneese horror week 3 years ago. It was Awsome. The other movies were not that great but these two spooked the hell out of me.

I would also recommend Premonition

Cheers!!!

- The Innocents

- The Tale of Two Sisters
- Spider Forest

Exorcist 3

sid369 · 10-24-06, 10:37 AM

Yes I know I have High tension and Dawn of the dead on my list but these are the ones that I liked out of all of them.
I also recently watched Wolf creek and Rest Stop. And I have to say that I didn't mind it becase it had a story and was not showing blood all over the place for the heck of it.

Anyways I am starting to add all those names to my list and so keep listing the names.

Cheers!!!

GeoffreyL · 10-24-06, 11:35 AM

For general spookyness, you can't go wrong with Session 9. For some reason the atmosphere of that movie creeps me out.

Jediturtle · 10-24-06, 02:56 PM

Some great suggestions so far. Give Susperia a try...it's like watching a nightmare instead of a movie. It kind of lulls you into a weird trance as you watch it. It's weird, but very creepy.

A Tale of Two Sisters is pretty creepy too.

JOE29 · 11-24-06, 09:38 PM

I like The Changeling ( just watched it yesterday ) The Skeleton Key you may like, it's more suspense than horror though. Phantasm is one of my favorites.

ejwrly · 02-03-07, 12:01 AM

My top list:

Ring (original japanese)
The Changeling
The Others
The Thing
28 Days Later
Cure (Korean)

I also really enjoyed "They" and "Black Christmas" (the original). Wow, I'm surprised to find that the ones I like have been mentioned. Especially "Cure". It is fantastic though. Changeling is also a must see.

The Descent since it's one of the more original horror movies in awhile. The claustrophobia really sets in that one, and it's edited very well.

6669 · 02-20-07, 10:12 PM

I'd add Stir of Echoes and Killer Klowns From Outer Space (hey, I love that movie).
I will say that SoE isn't quite as scary now, after watching so many episodes of House.
