I haven't seen The Descent! *goes to rottentomatoes* |

I am just dying for a really good horror movie. One that I LOVED was The Descent. It scared the crap out of me and just made me so uncomfortable, and that's what I'm looking for. I've seen all the usual ones that everyone else has seen, so I'm hoping there are some people on here that know of some gems that aren't so mainstream. Or even if there are mainstream ones that you think are awesome, that's fine too. I'm sure I haven't seen everything. But please spare me your suggestions if they involve any of the Saw movies or The Hills Have Eyes or any of that garbage. |

A lot of people say The Mist is a good movie. |

There are two grand champions of horror films-- The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror (original 1979 version). Those are very well written, acted, directed, filmed, everything, and they are as scary as movies get. That is because they are about supernatural, invisible forces of evil. I think that is many times freakier than some human with a chainsaw or a knife. The Shining (with Jack Nicholson, not Steven Weber ) is a phenomenal movie, but it is trippier than it is scary, in my opinion. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Ooh I'll have to agree with Exorcist and Rosemary's baby. kingofclutch, I have no idea what movie that is... do you remember any actors from it? |
|
Ok, I found what the movie was called. I searched for a while and I finally found it! Yay! It is called The Cave. I highly recommend it. It isn't cheesy and it has a pretty good storyline. |

The Storm of the Century was a great movie |
|
Watch "Ju-on" which is the japanese original The Grudge. Have you seen Alien? |
|
Ooooooohhhhhh yeah.... I forgot about those. The first three Omen movies are really awesome, especially the third one. They are about the life of the antichrist. In the first one, he is an evil little kid, and he is a real trip. In the second one, he is an evil teenager who learns that he is the antichrist. In the third one, he is a big time politician who learns of the birth of Christ and sets out to kill him while monks try to kill the antichrist (Damien) with the seven daggers that are the only means of killing the antichrist. Very good stuff. |

The Orphanage is in cinemas at the moment and is supposed to be the scariest film since The Shining (which I wholeheartedly recommend - Misery is another good King adaption too). |

I'd consider myself a horror movie enthusiast. I'm extremely picky though; and it takes a really good horror movie to make it in to my list of favorites. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

I really enjoyed the original "Carnival of Souls", starring Candace Hilligoss. It is definitely not for everyone and is not a gory horror movie, just kind of disturbing. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre...the grainy quality of it creeps me out (as does Leatherface and his family). |

Hmm. Fair enough. |

Haha, I know what you mean Oneironaut. I was watching that movie a few days ago with a few friends, and whenever the children would do something to fight back against Freddy, I would jump up and be like "that's lucid dreaming! They're using dream control!" over and over. Man. |

I could kick Freddy's ass The first and the third ones are the best. |
