"I Saw the Devil" (2010) - The plot of "I Saw the Devil" revolves around a detective whose beautiful fiancée is savagely murdered by a vicious psychopath played by "Oldboy" himself Min-Sik Choy. Despairing cop quickly tracks down the psycho, tortures him a little and lets him free to play his own gruesome catch-and-release game... Hauntingy beautiful and sickeningly violent thriller from the director of mesmerizing "A Tale of Two Sisters". The cinematography is gorgeous, the action is hypnotic and the murders are savage and unrelenting. Extremely dark and raw piece of cinema.

Bumping my old thread:

Last wateched:

"The Human Centipede II" (2011) by Tom Six delivers repulsive imagery in spades. The main character in this modern sickie is Martin, fat and sweating slob who works as a night-shift car park attendant. He is obsessed with the first "Human Centipede" and ghastly works of Dr.Heitner. His dream is about creating his own twelve-strong human centipede. Victims are strikingly easy to find and capture... "The Human Centipede II" is more unsettling and gory than its infamous predecessor. The scenes of mutilation, urination, serial defecation, ligament-cutting, tooth-pulling,vomiting and rape manage to offend. The main performance of Lawrence R Harvey is gloriously weird. So if you are into graphic torture porn and extreme body horror "The Human Centipede II" is a must-see.

"Slime City" (1988) - A young art student Alex moves into some dirty New York apartment where the group of weirdos live. Alex receives mysterious Himilayan Yogurt from his friend - an aspiring poet Roman. Unfortunately consuming green goo has deadly consequences as Alex turns into slime-covered mutant with an urge to kill... "Slime City" is the debut feature of independent filmmaker-turned author Gregory Lamberson. The film is cheaply made, but there is enough crazy gore and slime to satisfy fans of such insane classics like "Basket Case", "From Beyond" or "Street Trash". The last fifteen minutes of "Slime City" are wonderfully gory and grotesque. So if you are in the mood for some slimy goodness check out this low-budget piece of gory insanity.

Gonna' watch "Don't Open Till Christmas" (1984, forgotten Santa Claus slasher) today.

I like...

Woman in Black (1989)- British TV film, not that creepy and hasn't aged well but scared me to death when I was a kid. I was so scared of it that I refused to watch alone when I downloaded it again in 2008, when I was already 20. You can see it on YT in parts pr download it on PirateBay.

BTW here is the trailer for remake of "The Woman In Black" (2011) with Harry Potter in the main role.

Have you ever stopped and thought, that perhaps you have a problem. But I'll bite. I liked Oz. Its an HBO series, 6 seasons. There seem to be subtle lessons tucked in everywhere that make you think.

Edit: I must warn, there are exactly two butt rape scenes and several implicated ones.

Army of Darkness/Evil Dead 3 was one of my first films, but at this point I've exhausted everything that's not low-budget foreign film. Still can't stand gore.

Phobia is a recent favorite. Horror shorts, some of them pretty enjoyable. Great for fans of ghost stories, and especially anyone who enjoyed Shutter, The Grudge, etc, though these are a bit more subtle. Unsure if anything without subtitles is available.

The Divide is questionably horror, but it's one of the most depressing films I've seen in a long time. No idea why it gets ratings like 2/10 while movies I've walked out of the theater on get higher (hi Tyler Perry). Nuclear attack forces a small group of people down into a bomb shelter, where social order slowly breaks down.

Love horror. I don't watch movies as often as I should (?), but when I do watch horror, I enjoy it.

Last night I started watching Evil Dead...in Hindu :lol:

Yes, I am that cheap. I was actually looking for Evil Dead 2, but I couldn't find the full movie.

Yay! I'm happy this thread was bumped, now I have loads of recommendations to look into. :coolbeans:

I hold John Carpenter's The Thing as my favorite horror movie. One of the first films that honestly scared me as a lil guy, so part of it might be nostalgia goggles.

So I'm watching women in black. Maybe its the predictable nature of the genera in general or the fact that a tiny screen with music that doesn't jolt me out of my chair with constant action while I flip through multiple screens.

On another note, has anyone seen a "a ghost" themselves in real life? I have. In my old apartment I saw a girl, that after I thought about it, looked kind of like that thing on The Ring. I woke up before my sister and was writing a letter to someone on the computer and felt someone looking over my shoulder from a distance. I yelled at my sister to stop reading my letter. I turned around and she was still standing there, just leaning against the archway with a small smile. I yelled to stop reading my note. Stood there. Yell. Still there. I ignore, figuring she isn't going to stop. Then go back to bed. My sister asks me who I was yelling at and we both look at each other. She saw it too, another time, from the bathroom mirror, legs running across behind her. She thought it was me, but I was in the living room and hadn't moved. We never saw it again. I continued to live there three more years afterwards almost two of them by myself.

So all in all Woman in Black was a little boring. Just a guy walking down dark hallways and staring into the forest. I'm disappointed. So very very disappointed.

Love Halloween. I have all 10 films on my iTunes, and watch them regularly.

I also love the Nightmare On Elm Street movies. I'm talking about the first 7. I don't consider Freddy Vs. Jason, nor the two remakes, as part of the franchise.

One of the creepiest things I've ever seen is Cannibal Holocaust. I can't remember if I posted that here, but that movie is awesome. It spawed a bunch of sequels, including a new one, but none of them are as good as the original 1980 film.

So I am a major horror fan. I started watching horror films when I was 7 or 8 years old. "The Evil Dead" and Dario Argento's "Phenomena" were the first horror movies I have ever seen. I made three horror shorts in my spare time, wrote few horror stories and even a script. I am planning to make another gorefest pretty soon.

Horror genre is such a wide and diverse genre:

Here are some my favourite sub-genres:

- 70's and 80's slasher movies ("Just Before Dawn", "Maniac", "Rituals", "Nightmare", "Friday the 13th", "Halloween", "Tourist Trap" - too many to name)
- Italian gialli ("Deep Red", "What Have You Done to Solange?", "Tenebre", etc.)
- zombie flicks, mostly European ("The Beyond", "Burial Ground", "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie", "Shock Waves", "Zombi Holocaust" etc.)
- serial killer movies ("Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", "Angst")
- Bigfoot terror ("Night of the Demon", "Shriek of the Mutilated")
- monster movies ("Humanoids from the Deep", "Slithis", "Galaxy of Terror")
- vampire movies ("Vampyres", "Lemora: A Child's Play of the Supernatural", "Near Dark", British "Dracula" movies with Christopher Lee etc.)
- ghost stories ("The Changeling", "The Nesting")
- satanic horror/deadly possession flicks ("The Devil's Rain", "Malabimba", "Enter the Devil")
- rape and revenge subgenre ("I Spit on Your Grave", "Ms. 45", "Last House on the Left", "Late Night Trains" etc.)
- animal attack movies ("Jaws", "Savage Harvest", "Squirm", "Rats: Night of Terror", etc.)
- extreme horror/gore ("Aftermath", "Cannibal Holocaust", "Nekromantik", "Martyrs", "Inside" etc.)

I generally dislike horror comedies with few exceptions like "Braindead".

What else do I miss?

Other film genres I I enjoy: spaghetti westerns, Italian crime flicks, revenge thrilers, survival movies like "Deliverance", disturbing war dramas, to the lesser extent sci-fi movies, and of course exploitation cinema.

So LS users who are into horror genre: please give me the titles of your favourite horror films or perhaps sub-genres?

Wait, no love for the J-Horror? It was the stuff that actually made me uncomfortable for *weeks* after watching. Blood'n'gore fests look so gimmicky and fake near that, it's almost funny. Rolling head, LOL! Dripping blood, hah! Chainsaw hacking, giggle!

But hooooly cow, does that creepy feeling ever end after a watching a solid ghost-in-your-closet movie?

"The Cabin in the Woods" (2011) - Five college friends head to the cabin in the woods for the weekend of drinking, smoking and sexual debauchery. Unbeknowst to them the evil is lurking in the boonies. Evil which is controlled by the staff of underground research lab for an enigmatic concern. The fight for survival begins as the bodies begin to pile up... Very fresh and vastly enjoyable horror flick with surprising deconstruction of horror clichés. It's filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, plenty of hysterical gore and dismemberment, backwoods redneck family of zombies, hordes of monsters, two-way mirrors and mysterious force-fields. The special effects are excellent, the acting is solid and there are obvious nods to several genre movies including "The Evil Dead", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Friday the 13th", "Hellraiser", "Ringu", "The Strangers" or "Deliverance". A small addition of Lovecraftian darkness is also a nice touch.
