Horror movies worth watching

[Indiafan]

If you have a really strong appetite for violence then try Cannibal Holocaust (1980) . Its an Italian cannibal exploitation horror film directed by Ruggero Deodato.

The most disturbing movie I've seen by a mile. Its a neo-realistic film. The entire movie is presented as seen through the cameraman's POV alone. It seems more documentary than film . That's the scary part !

It's not a movie that gives you random scares. But the way the story progresses & the some of the scenes really chill you to the spine ..

The movie was banned in many countries. The scenes were considered so realistic that there was a murder case on the director. He had to produce the actors in court to prove that they were alive and show how the special effects were created

 

[in_cutter]

Bone Tomahawk anyone? Includes probably the most savage death scene put to screen?

 

[shaz619]

What would you guys say is the best Vampire movie? don't say twilight lol

Interview with a Vampire was excellent and Van Helsing starring hugh jackman was okay, besides those there must be others out there but I've not had a look, also refrain from watching the dracula movies as I am yet to finish reading the book

 

[shaz619]

I've seen the Underworld movies until the prequel Rise of the Lycans, they were decent to

Thanks. I will definitely check this out. Has my curiosity.

Bram Stokers Dracula (1992) - One of the better Dracula movies
Blade (1998) & Blade II - More action than horror. Both written by David S Goyer(Dark Knight Trilogy) . Best vampire action movies ever ! Underworld & Van helsing are rather poor imitations.

Have u seen Vamipres suck? Its a parody of twilight and one of the best vampire movie i have seen lol because its funny. Other parody is "dracula dead and loving it", funny as well haha. Also have u seen "what we do in the shadows"? Its a mockumentary involving vampires. And do u know there is a vampire movie called "blackula"? The name had me in splits when i first heard it.

I have seen Blade but not the sequel, actually I may just watch the series again. Will watch Bram Stokers Dracula once I finish reading his book, I enjoyed the underworld movies although the recent releases I've not had a look at. There have not been many dark and gritty takes on Vampires which I'd like to see but have been turned into a bit of a comedy act [MENTION=131678]Madplayer[/MENTION] ) defo will be checking them out but I've only seen the first twilight so maybe I won't enjoy the parody as much? I don't know it's probably enough for me to find the parody funny, have not seen any of your suggestions.

Thanks madplayer and SandyB

Let the right one in ,Swedish movie imo it was amazing.

Good vampire movies: Queen of the damned ,The vampire circus(1972),Vampire in Brooklyn,Dusk till dawn,Forsaken

 

[SandyB]

Blade II is rated higher than part 1 . One of the few movie sequels that improved upon the original. Avoid the 3rd one though. HHH from WWE has a role in it. But that's pretty much it .

I loved the 1st Underworld. It had great visuals and Kate Beckinsale was badass. ! I love these dark themed movies where everyone dresses in Black & leather. The "noir" feel. But they wasted the sequels. Could have been a solid franchise.

Cheers mate, which ones out of these would you say are dark and full of suspense which give you them genuine horror frights; most likely there are none but maybe there is a movie which is close to it

Vampire movies have the least twist but i would say the Swedish movie "Let the right one in" has good story but no fight, Queen of the damned has good fight but not a major major suspense,good music though.

The vampire circus was probably the first vampire movie i saw as a kid and I was alone and felt it was frightening probably be cheesy now.

Good vampire thrill I would say is also 30 days of Night --Josh Harnett one.

 

[Donal Cozzie]

Pitch Black is kinda horror and I quite liked it

 

[JaDed]

Hardly any genuine horror movies although found grudge part 1,2 to be pretty scary but was kinda young then.
Offlate Conjuring was decent nothing other than that has really been remarkable.

 

[SandyB]

Species (1995) was pretty scary when it came out .

I've seen one of the Grudge movies, I found it really scary; you know that sound that spirit thing would make when someone would call the house? I would prank people and make that grrrarraraaaaaaaaaah sound ) it would really scare my friends. Am guessing there must be a lot of scary horror movies which give you legit frights from East Asia and eastern Europe which we're not aware of

I used to do that sound well and Japanese horror has been good for sure,I ve seen a couple of Animes that have been done well ,better than Indian "scary",Hollywood was more on gore than Horror untill Japanese horror and their directors caught their fancy.

I found Prometheus to be thrilling as well,but my all time fav funny horror movie is defn Evil Dead 3,so well done!

Some of the old horror movies which originated from India really creeped me out, hollywood is the king of gore and there's too much overkill. Saw is being released again, although all of us will be watching it

I went on a Resident Evil Marathon few months ago managed to make it to the 4th movie, I wanted to see them all before the Final Chapter next month but will just watching it without seeing part 5,6 and . Might start the Underworld series again

Sin City(2005) - Near perfect adaptaion of the Novel
Dark City (1998)
Sleepy Hollow (1999) - More gothic than Noir . But a good horror film from the Tim Burton -Johnny Depp duo.

I've seen Sin City one of my all time favourite movies! I've not seen Sin City 2 though, did that do the first justice?

Will check the others out, have seen Sleepy Hollow but a very long time ago

Never really followed the sin city comics, finished arkham assylum recently and am reading spider man blue at the moment. The other disappointing thing was that it flopped at the box office which will prevent another movie from being made though sequels rarely do the first movie justice

If you're into comics try these must haves :
1. Watchmen
2. V for Vendetta
3. Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
4. Batman Year One
5. Batman - The Long Halloween
6. Batman: The Killing Joke
7. Batman: The Cult

Back to the topic of horror films..

For Zombie movie lovers try 28 Days Later (2002) & its sequel 28 Weeks Later (2007).
Directed by Danny Boyle , 28 days later may be hands-down the best zombie movie of all time ! (Shaun of the dead & Night of the living Dead are good competition though ).

The realism and the plausibility of the scenarios in the movie are truly frightening. Has some good scares too.

I think you'd enjoy it regardless. I liked it more than the original twilight movie haha which i know isnt saying much

 

[SL_Fan]

Sharknado is another one of those underrated horror flicks.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

lol you guys are naming some awful movies in this thread? Underworld? Good one

Great movies. The second was excellent but the first one was on another level. The first time I saw Cilian murphy walking through those empty London streets, I was in awe.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Watch Piranha 3DD if you wanna have a laugh. Way funnier than sharknado

My present favorite is Ash Vs Evil dead . 2 seasons already... Perfectly captures the essence of the movies into the small screen.. Some really good scares too.. Has some great moments !!

 

[SandyB]

Well the dude asked SPECIFICALLY for Vampire movies !. Could you name any half-decent Vampire flicks since Blade ..? Other than Underworld ..

 

[Madplayer]

Going on a horrorthon

Ava's possession
The conjuring 2
The hallow

Not sure if i can watch all of them in one night. Lol Lets see if any one of them scares me.

Conjuring and Conjuring Two are terrible. Avoid them.

Exactly mind the snobs, there are hardly many out there which are significantly better then Underworld which is underrated in its own right made for a good action movie but it's true that they never quite fulfilled their potential when they were onto something with the dark tone and noir feel.

 

[Madplayer]

None of them are scary at all

Really? Oh God! I guess i would still have to waste my time lol
Is there any movie you would like to recommend? I mean Bhoot wali movies. Not the useless "scary psychopath" movies which some people call horror.

 

[Madplayer]

Watch Under The Shadow, a co production between Qatar, Jordan and the UK which was released last year. It's a horror/thriller about a mother and daughter living under Sharia law in 1980s Tehran who are haunted by both the djinn (evil spirits worse then the bhoot) who flap through their bedrooms like wind-blown hijabs and the ticking threat of an unexploded missile on the roof of their apartment

An American Werewolf in London.

Classic. Never gets old. Can't believe a remake has been greenlit.

Baskin (Turkish). Surreal horror.

Disturbing to say the least. Worth a watch.

The foreign movies are keeping the horror genre alive, they don't get as much publicity and tend to fall under the radar so can be tricky to find but the ones you manage to see are quality more often then not

 

[leatherface58]

The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Probably the best first 45 minutes I have seen in a movie. Tense, psychological, intriguing. It falls apart a bit in the end but it is still a very strong horror film. Comfortably, one of the better horror films this year. Fantastic acting by Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch.

Using the coroners as protagonists as opposed to exposition fodder was clever and executed very well. Highly recommended.

Leathers, what would you say was the the scariest horror movie you've ever seen?

 

[TM Riddle]

Drag me to hell was quite good too.

 

[SandyB]

As a child I used to find the Tales From the Crypt movies on HBO quite scary . It was like a horror anthology series made by HBO. Demon Knight was one of the best ..

The first Child's Play(1988) film was pretty damn scary too. For a kid who loved toys ..

 

[leatherface58]

Leathers, what would you say was the the scariest horror movie you've ever seen?

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Some do not agree with me but that movie is the most raw horror movie I have ever seen.

 

[Indiafan]

I like the psychological horror of Korean and Thai horror movies. Like - A tale of two sisters, Alone

I have stopped watching Leatherface movies. They have completely destroyed his mystique. He is one of the most interesting villains of horror almost as good as Norman Bates in terms of being vulnerable yet destructive but they made him into a complete chump. The last I watched was New Generation and it was disgusting how poor it was.

The last I watched was New Generation and it was disgusting how poor it was.

Not sure he might have been limited to a cameo or side show in those movies, this will be a prequel to the texas chain saw massacre and indulge in his origins; this is the summary:

"Prequel about teenage Leatherface who escapes from a mental hospital with three other inmates, kidnaps a young nurse and takes her on a road trip from hell. Along the way, they are pursued by an equally deranged lawman out for revenge."

It will revolve around the mystery of which of the teenage psychopaths introduced will ultimately become leatherface. Given the focus of the movie will be on the legendary chainsaw wielding killer entirely there's a big chance the movie has the potential to be the best since the original, the title of the movie is "Leatherface" the release date is vague though but it should come out in 2017

"The Lost Boys" a classic from the late 1980's. I love that movie.

"Orphan" one of the best psychological horror movies.

Orphan
imdb rating: Rating: 7/10 - ‎148,081 votes

storyline: A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a nine year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.

Esther the character played by Isabelle Fuhrman was one of the greatest display of acting from a child I have seen. simply great.
