Somehow this film was scary?

I want my $9.75 back.

Nothing more than a modern version of the same POV scares from the Blair Witch.

If someone tells you to stay in a bad place, its not good.
If it goes bump on the door, and you know its not the family pet, shoot it anyway. It can always be more dead.

People are dumb...

I stopped watching scary movies because I can predict the whole movie.

 

[binary visions]

My biggest problem with most scary movies now is that the premise isn't scary, the atmosphere isn't scary... all they rely on is startling you. Okay, so I startle pretty well and it gets my heart rate up for about two seconds, but it's not scary. It's just startling.

The Ring scared the poo out of me though...

 

[jcaramia]

I felt the same exact way about this movie. I think it was a huge disappointment and just hype. It was a little creepy yes but scary? I don't think so.

Plus I had like 65 idiots in the theater who were making screaming and stupid ass noises. Oh well, I am glad I saw it so I can tell everyone it sucked.

 

[jimmydean]

The Shining was scary.

 

[ire]

I liked the Ring. I thought it had a good tense factor, and some jumpy scenes. I think scary movies are only effective if you let yourself get sucked into the plot. If you start out skeptical, and never really get into the movie, you won't be as scared.

Shining: Scary
Original Exorcist: Scary
Notorious: Scary as hell.

Most everything else, even the Ring, I just get bored with.

I hate to project my inner redneck, but guns solve 90% of the problems in horror movies. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it might be dead, but it can always be deader.

Blair Witch: Solved with six outbursts from my shotgun, and one more to kill the ass nugget who lost the map.

Ring: Little girl comes out of the TV at my house, little girl is all over the walls. I'll get a squeege.

Any other film: Three shots, one good boot to the head, one more in the back of the head, and then we have a twinkie and all is well.

Starting to feel like Red Foreman at these movies...

Agreed. That **** is scary.

Sounds like you should stick to action movies

Event horizon, that was some scary isht.

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

I saw Paranormal Activity. Not one for horror movies as I live in a 250 year old farm house. People died from war wounds in my house. There are ghosts and they scare the **** out of people that mess with them. As a horror movie it sucked. Watch the commercial and see the only true "scary party".

This is why I can't watch horror movies. My gf is usually freaking out grabbing my arm, while I'm drinking a beer and shouting "well SHOOT the motherfvcker already!! or at least stab it or SOMETHING!".

What was that Mel Gibson movie, Signs? The aliens touching down by their farmhouse in PA, and they try to get them away with what....prayer and a baseball bat? Like people in rural PA don't have a gun ANYWHERE in the house....right. It's a good thing those dumbass aliens didn't invade somewhere like Texas. They never would have gotten on the ground.

 

[jdcamb]

I have found some of your posts lind of scary. Maybe they could make a movie of your life. I would think it would be called "Trainwreck (Don't click on that post!!)".

 

[JustMtnB44]

Event horizon, that was some scary isht.

Agreed, that movie has a great combination of creepy and scary/startling things so that rewatching it still affects me.

 

[bwolmarans]

Event horizon, that was some scary isht.

yes, that qualifies.
I would hate for some of my chronic stoner buddies to watch that, they would be so bummed out, it is seriously scary.

 

[Rip]

Is it bad that I fell asleep during the original exorcist and laughed at the shining?

Now, since being a bit weirded out by clowns, It creeps me out.

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I wanna see the Eli Roth short "Thanksgiving" made into a film.
And the trailer "Don't." That could be the DirtMcGirk story.
"Whatever you do, don't click on this post."

Yea, that'd be rad.

 

[Anders]

i havent seen it, but apparently the climax is in the trailer

I was at my older cousin's house as a young teenager and watched parts of A Clockwork Orange (I had to leave the room for the more violent parts, as I simply couldn't take it). I had forgotten all about it till I was 18 and at college.

I had been assigned the book "A Clockwork Orange" for an honors lit class and was having a hard time weeding thought the first few chapters with the Russian slang. I was at a friend's house one evening reading the book. He had cable. He was flipping through the channels while I was in the other room. Suddenly I hear, "Hey Laura! Come here. Guess what's on!" I glance to the living room TV and see the opening scene in "A Clockwork" in which you see the main character glaring at the screen with his evil grin...

My jaw dropped open, and I tried to scream but I couldn't. I dropped what was in my hands, started backing up, and then let out a blood-curdling scream and continued screaming for no less than five minutes. A full-on psychotic episode ensued, where my friend had to physically restrain me so that I wouldn't hurt myself or anyone else. I just knew that man was going to get me... I had to claw my way out, even if it meant going through the screen on the window...

When I was assigned the book, I had not remembered seeing the film as a 13-year-old AT ALL. My mind had completely blocked it out. That's why I had no trouble picking up the book to read for that English lit class as a college freshman. After that episode, my English teacher assigned me "The French Lieutenant's Woman" while the rest of the class read "Clockwork."

I have since come to respect my mind, and its ability to protect me, but also its sensitivity. I don't watch R-rated films any more. I've learned I need to protect my mind.

True horror? Man's callous insensitivity to man. It terrifies me more than anything.

You men with children- please re-read this post. If you have sensitive children, they need to be prepared and taught that it's OK, even commendable to walk away and protect their minds from images. What you see, you can never un-see. Unfortunately, no one ever taught me this as a young person.

 

[stoney]

wuss.
Watch Event Horizon. I saw it in the front row at the theater because we got there late and it was packed. One of my friends left, but we stayed through it to not be the wusses. Right when the movie ended, we got up and over half of the audience was gone, they had left mid-movie.
I had recurring nightmares of being on a desert world, with a computer/robot integrated into the facility/home. I somehow angered the computer/robot and ended up fighting with it, and there was some other guy there with me. I kept waking up screaming in a cold sweat after/while the computer/machine ripped the eyeballs out of the guys head, in vivid detail (like the movie), while he was still alive and screaming.
The only scary movie I've seen since then was 'The Grudge', and I am still mildly scared of young Asian children with long hair.
I am not a fan of scary movies, however, the shining does not scare me...

 

[DirtMcGirk]

I saw Event Horizon and wanted to see what Hell had in store for me.

I watch the Hellraiser movies, and seriously debate how hard it would be to find an actual Lament Configuration to fool with.

Then again, I am kinda wrong in the head.

Teach your kids to harden the fvck up. The world is as Hobbs described it, Nasty, Brutish and Short. Get used to it, or get used by it.

 

[binary visions]

I didn't think Event Horizon was scary in the slightest. It was far too gory to be actually scary.

I rank that movie as "disgusting" not "scary."

You mean like people spending $9.75 for a movie that's got a 99.5% probability of being crap even before watching it?

 

[Silver]

On this note, is there anything LESS scary than the torture porn movies that seem to be the flavor of the last 5 years?

Scarface freaked me out, when they take Tony's friend into the shower and cut him up with a chainsaw...they don't show it, but they show Tony's reaction to it.

Sunny, not to start a debate about morals and ethics, but there is something that is starting to take over that #1 horrible spot for me (used to be the insensitivity you mentioned)...


... and that is gross ignorance, and its growing widespread acceptance (to the point that some people think it is somehow a respectable trait). ESPECIALLY in this country.

8mm kinda freaked me out.

Poltergeist II
The return of Craig Turd Nelson

 

[bizutch]

The first Saw got me good. Could feel that hacksaw in my own leg.
Signs was a good reference back to old school horror.
Devils Advocate creeped me way out.
The Shining is excellent mind candy.
The Ring is best watched at home b/c who doesn't think of that thing coming out of the screen.
Amityville Horror...straight freaky.
Even the re-make of Amityville Horror was eerie.
Oh, and when I was a kid, the original Evil Dead where nobody lived, made me one scared little boy.

 

[jonKranked]

Hahaha! That movie was awesome!

I agree. I think its time for that movie to be remade. Imagine how sick it would be with todays technology/special effects. hudders:

Saw? Scary? I thought it was stupid. I watched it because of all the hype and was disappointed. Not scary. Not even interesting really. To each their own of course.

I thought "The Orphanage" was a trip. Maybe not scary but really suspenseful.

You might misunderstand me. In no way am I "blaming" my sensitivity on my dad. My dad is awesome. I should have said "parents." Sorry.

What I mean is: kids are told "wear your jacket" and "wear sunscreen" and "look both ways" (essentially: protect your body) all the time. They're not told, "Protect your mind" and "What you see cannot be un-seen. Be careful what you choose to watch."

Parents: don't forget to teach your kids to protect their minds.

Based on what I've seen from a lot of parents nowadays, just some basic attention to their children would be a good start!



Also, (just to kind of play devil's advocate a bit), I feel that there is a category of parents who protect their kids TOO much, and I think that can be just as bad as not protecting them enough.
