I want everyone to share their favorite horror movie.

I think my favorite has to be ring 1 and Ju-on 1 and 2

So far, I like the Thai movie "Shutter". It is so scary and the plot is really good too. You may want to check it out:

Unfortunately, there is no English subtitle. 0067.gif

I really want to see that. Thats too bad it doesnt have English subtitles.

Hmm, it seems that no one else is interested in this kind of films... except of us.
I don't have my favourite horror, but I definitely don't like films with litres of blood. Zombie's theme is also boring - there were so many films directed about them, that watching another one is too much for me. I think films based on Stephen King's novels are pretty good (e.g. Shinning). Recently I've seen Storm of the Century ( it's divided into three parts in Polish television and I have to wait till next Friday to see the last part 09_dry.gif ). I enjoyed watching The Grudge - it's a Japanese horror and it was really scary. I'd like to see Dark Water. It's a Japanese film as well and I heard it's good. Have anybody seen it?
Xiphos
I have dark water. It is pretty good. There is an american remake coming out I think in summer. Cant wait to see it.

I think you are right about nobody being intrested in these types of movies.

19_tongue.gif your not alone on these particular genre of movies, i grew up watching the stephen king novels that are adapted to films, i like them alot, very psychological for the mind and i like his endings where they make you wonder why it happened hehehee 02_biggrin.gif i grew up watching his movies and george romero's and tobe hooper's i miss the 80's films almost every genre to me was better back then. don't know but it just appealed to me more, maybe its because they are using the computer technology too much in movies now and i really liked the make up effects more often and things of that nature. oh well thats my two cents of a sorry ass reply, later people lol 18_drool.gif

I like the make up they had better then the stuff now in the 80's(most of zombie movies) I really like imported horror movies because they dont use computer technology for their movies and they have original plots.I remember watching "the it" when I was 7 I could sleep for weeks. 02_biggrin.gif
Xiphos
Is anybody here into imported horror movies?

I have the thai movie shutter with english subtitles, its the HK DVD.

I liked the movie a lot, the acting is very good, and the movie does not look cheap, as thai horror movies often do..

I also saw another one not long ago called sisters, that was good, but did look cheap.


My fav (asian) Horror movie is;

The Eye


Actually i have about all the asian horror movies from japan/HK/korea on DVD that I could find on dvd the last few years 13_naughty.gif

Me too I have lots of asian horror movies. I have the eye 1 and 2. The eye 1 is better than the second one because it had more scarier parts and a bettter story line.

Have you seen eye 2?
snoman
hey have ya'll seen Kairo also known as Circuit??? nice Japanese horror flick here i typed the synopsis for you. not sure where you can find it but i'm sure its out there to order, because it was released back in 2001 i think.

After one of their friends commits suicide, strange things begin happening to a group of young Tokyo residents. One of them sees visions of his dead friend in the shadows on the wall, while another's computer keeps showing strange, ghostly images. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister going on?

you might like it, check it out. k i found it on yesasia.com here is the link to it http://us.yesasia.com/en/PrdDept.aspx/pid-...section-videos/
snoman
Kiyoshi Kurosawa the director of the one i just posted kairo, he did one in 1997 and i believe its his first film called Cure, its ok as well, a serial killer type movie. i think he has some good visuals and some nice imaging.

Have you seen a korean movie called the phone?
snoman
yes i liked that movie as well, i like the imports, they are stacking up too and i can't keep up with all the releases * LoL * 0499.gif but they are all pretty great, they have some nice stories to them that make you really get into the movies and makes you anxious to see the outcome of the whole thing 01_smile.gif
Xiphos
I love imports too. Especially japanese ones.

Have you seen nightmare? its another korean movie.
Xiphos
Do you know any of the imports that I should get that are good?
snoman
you seem to have most that i have seen as well so not sure *lol* oh i'm going to check out Toolbox Murders next tuesday, its a Tobe Hooper film, hope he is back to his old roots 02_biggrin.gif or at least i'm hoping its ok for an american made film hehehee, haute tension was alot better than i thought it would be for a slasher flick the gore is pretty nice, i'm mostly into martial arts/kung-fu and action flicks, but i grew up with the horror genre so i always end up watching those or buying them for some reason 010_freak.gif
Xiphos
I have to check out haute tension. I love martial arts flicks too. Especially old ones like from jackie chan and Jet Li.

Have you seen tale of two sisters, I heard its pretty good.
snoman
no i have not seen that movie, heard it was good too, read a few reviews about it. yes jackie and jet are pretty great! i remember coming home from school back in the day watching kung fu theater and seeing some old school flicks that i finally got my hands on that have been remastered for dvd. hehehee i've been collecting along time since i seen my first Bruce Lee movie. 02_biggrin.gif
Xiphos
thats awesome. I love old school kung fu flicks. 02_biggrin.gif

Lately there has been lots of american versions of asian horror movies. Dark water is coming out soon and ring 2. Cant wait. I heard the american version of ring 2 is different than the japaneses one. I didnt really like the japanese one. Have you seen it?
snoman
yeah i've seen those, yes i agree 2 wasn't all that good hehehee, no i actually haven't seen dark water what is that about?
orbis
'Evil Dead 2' is my favourite.
Xiphos

Andoiel
Yeah, I've seen the version from 1953.It was pretty good. Now I'm waiting impatiently for this remake, because I wonder which of these two will be better.
I must admit that old films are unique. 04_wink.gif
snoman
i was watching bravo channel last night right? well they had the 100 scariest movie moments, and jaws was damn number 1!, shit i had to turn it off that just ruined the whole show for me after sitting here watching it for 4 hours straight waiting for number 1 thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif *lol* 04_blink.gif
Andoiel
And which one is the best for you?
snoman
hell i have no clue but it sure isn't jaws * lol * sorry 06_rolleyes.gif umm maybe something like exorcist or texas chainsaw massacre something like that. those were in the top 10 at least. but still jaws blew it for me last night while i was watching, still was an ok special till the number 1 came on the screen hehehee 02_biggrin.gif
