Top 5 Horror Movies you want to see, but haven't seen yet

I fixed it for you.

Thanks.

i only have one..

Tourist trap.

I actually saw this. It as decent in my eyes, a better movie than the remade House of Wax. Plus a younger Tanya Roberts. Yummy.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

no particular order of preference

1- Blair Witch Project (I know, I don't rent often)
2- Saw (I'd reserve my judgement until afterwards for the others)
3- Texas Chainsaw Massacre: the remake
4- Amityville: the remake
5- land of the living dead

Saw this tonight. The movie gets a big boost in the beginning with R. Lee "Major Malfunction" Ermy as the Sheriff. He even calls one character "[get out of the car] maggot" as a tribute to his Full Metal Jacket character.

However aside from his spot on casting and screen pressence, the movie sucked.

Number 1, and most egregious error, is the abscence of the infamous "dinner scene" which is the climax of the original. The film goes straight into the run from Leatherface rather than to give you a first hand introduction to the family.

Number 2, Jessica Biel is far too strong a female lead, showing little or no vulnerablity at all. They should have renamed this Supergirl v. Leatherface, because that is what it felt like.

It relied on the predictable and clinche scare tactics of "shock and awe". Did not develop any real story. And it lacks the originality of the original.

The original, because of the spot on acting and (for lack of a better term) "strange" family of hicks is almost hard to watch. I still have trouble watching the dinner scene because of it's surreality and wierdness.

In this they just all seem like a**holes, but not entirely strange.

If you mean the Japanese movie it's ultimate crap. They don't do anything else than fight in that movie. No joke. I was bored to hell.

I thought it was worth a rental, nothing really awesome, but kind of fun too watch.

Spoiler

mostly it was the three guys chasing the main character that were fun too watch, up until they died.

In the horror genre what movies do you want to see but have not seen yet.

Mine:
5) The Last House on The Left
4) Rosemary's Baby: I have seen this but it has been ages, and I could not appretiate it at that age.
3) Hellraiser
2) The Fly
1) Night of the Living Dead 1968. It's been ages since I actually watched this film. But I love it. I saw it once when I was young and it gave me nightmares. It stands with Dawn of the Dead as one of the most memorable horror movies ever. George A Romero solidified a place in my heart with his films.

The Last House on the Left messed me up for a while. What happens to those two girls in the film is stuff that happens all to often. It is a perfect illustration of the depraved stuff humans can do to each other.
Hellraiser just had me like "what the hell?"

I want to see Feast. Gotta get that on dvd. Also I want to see Susperia again, Army of Darkness and Near Dark.

5. The Last House on the Left
4. Zombie
3. Suspiria
2. Cannibal Holocaust (I wanna see if this movie will really freak me out)
1. Audition (same as above)

 

[mfbtl]

theres a distrubing lack of tree rape in films these days.

I defenitley argee. My list is only because I haven't gotten my lazy butt to the movies lately.

1. The Grudge 2
2. Saw III
3. Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
4. See No Evil
5. Rose Mary's Baby (read the book, but have yet to do anything about it).

 

[Kable24]

5. The Last House on the Left
4. Zombie

2. Cannibal Holocaust (I wanna see if this movie will really freak me out)

Last House on the Left - Prepare to be bored out of your mind. I hear though if you can make it to the torturing, it's good. I couldn't do it.

Zombie - Really good Zombie movie. I assume you mean the 1979 Zombie. Love the "shark attack"

Cannibal Holocaust - very very bad, but has some good effects for the time. Which can still stand up to some of the crap effects nowadays. I refused to watch the parts where they kill the animals. Especially the turtle.

A couple have mentioned this. Just an FYI, it's disturbing more than scary, and you may want to watch it a couple times. Make sure to take note of the dialogue as it is the centerpiece to the film. There are some really great philosophical undertones at work in the film...I don't speak from the position of a movie critic but as a fan of the film. There is some real depth to the Romero Zombie movies. Especially heed the wisdom of African Americans in his films, he really paints them in (what I feel) to be the most socially correct and uplifting light of any white filmaker.

Good God giving her a ****ing Rambo ending where she bests Leatherface and Hoyt and heroically rides off into the night with the baby was beyond idiotic, not the best way to go out on a sense of dread, as this type of horror should.

Dawn straight

Spoiler

running him over three times with his own freaking car

.

You see originally Katie Holmes was going to play her (although then I might have been rooting for Leatherfacet: ). But for God's sake it was awful. I cannot believe Tobe Hooper would even allow this crap. The original was so good at creating that blur between reality and fiction. This played out like some...as you nicely put it...Rambo action film.

God dang remakes.

What really fries my blood is the same studio (Universial) is remaking the 1986 The Fly . YOU DON'T NEED TO REMAKE QUALITY FILMS!!!!!

 

[The Dark Defender]

Hooper says he really likes the remake.

Hooper says he really likes the remake.

I know...that's why I cannot believe it

No one appretiates good horror anymore. I had a friend try to tell me The Grudge (American)was a good horror movie.....nooooooooooooo, stop the madness.

 

[<(o_o)>]

Saw 1, Saw 2 & Saw 3.
Snakes On A Plane, will just buy the dvd when it comes out.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, will just buy the dvd when it comes out.
Amityville: the remake.

The Grudge was a horror film coulda fooled me...

 

[Max J Power]

Is Bubba Ho-tep a horror movie? If so, then it's got to be number 2 or 3 on my list.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

3. La Bete
1. Salo
2. Mystics in Bali
4. Men Behind the Sun
5. The Host

 

[Prognosticator]

The Omen II
Saw III
Hellraiser III
Bubba Ho-Tep

...but there is no urgency for me to see these

 

[PyroChamber]

Has anyone ever seen Suspiria and Demons? Both were from Dario Argento.

 

[Leto Atrides]

I believe "good" was the operative word.

Love Suspiria, have not seen Demons.

The Japs are doing things to the Horror genre like the 70's-80's here in the states. There is one called 'The Audition' man-I want to see it, but I'm afraid I'm not that sadistic ...which is what it is of the clips I've seen.

The premise absolutly is plausable, a girl goes on an audition and is waiting for a call, and she is a real piece of work, imagine Saw w/ no mechanicl devices and it's a Japanese girl w/ needles.

I'm going to try and find one this weekend, but crossing a line here.

The way I see it, they're more like the 70s Italian Horror films. They teeter on an edge, and either fall on the side of art like Suspiria, or of completely pointless gore and brutality like Cannibal Holocaust. It seems the same in Japan, with stuff like the Guinea Pig films in the same boat as Cannibal Holocaust.

What are the Guinea Pig films?

Yes exactly-then too American films are following some of these foriegn trends as 30 years ago, it was the other way around.
