  • Halloween Horror Movies
     OP - October 27, 2010, 01:29 PM
    Any recommendations?

    Here's a few of my faves to start:

    The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
    - Five friends driving to their grandpa's old house, pick up a sinister hitch-hiker, before ending up at the old family home... where they're plunged into a never-ending nightmare. The definitive horror movie for me. Brutal, relentless and traumatising, like any good horror should be. Tobe Hooper’s original vision inspired pretty much all modern slasher movies, but this is where it all began. True classic.

    28 Days Later (2002)
    - Four weeks after the incurable RAGE virus spreads throughout the UK, a handful of survivors try to find sanctuary. Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland breathed new life into the stale Zombie flick genre with this slick and smart landmark piece of cinema. The scenes of Cillian Murphy waking up to an empty London are an iconic piece of filming, setting up the terror and isolation of one of the best survival horror movies to date.

    REC (2007)
    - A young TV reporter and her cameraman cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams - which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report. This is the camcorder horror movie Blair Witch wanted to be but didn’t quite manage. Make sure to watch the original Spanish movie (subtitled), not the shitty Hollywood remake.
    Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

    Its not a horror movie, but a disturbing one nonetheless.  Hard Candy - not well known or universally liked - a bit like marmite, but I am pretty sure you will love it.

    Loved 28 days later and Hard Candy!  Afro I'm not into horror movies that much, because I get freaked out so easily. Cheesy Horror novels are awesome though.  Tongue

    Ok, the obvious - The Shining!

    Or how about Battle Royale! A group of Japanese high school students are forced to kill each other.  Afro

    The movie I recommend is not really a horror, its more of a zombie-horror-comedy. Its called BrainDead, you will laugh like you have never laughed before yes

    The Japanese version of The Ring is very scary.  The part where she comes out of the telly made my hair stand on end, but the US remake didn't really have the same effect.

    yes , the ring , the grudge both are very creepy but they didn't get good remakes , although shutter takes the cake as the best horror movie i've aver watched , it's thai by the way  Smiley

    American horror movies aren't as scary because they set it in the framework that ghosts have some problem that need to be resolved and they go away, while Japanese films are more about an unstoppable unrelenting force.  You know the kind of things nightmares are really about.

    Oh gosh, Asian horror movies are just hardcore. Their remakes are blasphemous! Tongue

    Another good Asian horror - The Eye. A blind girl finally being able to see after getting a cornea transplant, but then she realises that she can also see hmm "things". It's a Hong Kong movie, but the lead actress is a Malaysian girl!  Afro

    This is gonna sound very tame but Steven King's 1408 is my favourite 'horror' film of all time. Not as scary as you'd want, but still chilling and enjoyable.

    Oh, and something from the Alien or Predator film series is always good on Halloween. Preferably the original Alien IMO.

    They aren't all worth watching, only Alien (1979) , Aliens (1986) , Predator (1987) and Predators (2010). The others (AVP, AVP2, Predators 2) are very mediocre. Prometheus is meant to be good.

    I don't recall Stallone in any of them, perhaps you're thinking of Schwartnegger in Predator?
