I'm looking for a movie which isn't just ''boo!'' scary but mind-bogglingly creepy, scary and horrifying. I'm not talking lots of random blood and gore, I'm talking something that is actually horror in its true sense. So, what have you? Please only put movies from 1980 and onwards (although 1970's might be accepted). The movie should preferably be better at scaring a girl than anything else ().

Blair Witch Project is the creepiest movie I've ever seen

The only good thing about this movie was that it was filmed in Marlyand. Originally Posted by The Devil's Sergeant

I'm sorry but after that it was pretty much a comedy to me. -

Blair Witch project is a scary movie. I also recommend The Exorcist and Evil Dead.

Event Horizon is literally an awful movie. Literally just awful, I can't watch it that much its to well done and to creepy.
japanese version of the grudge freaked me out. -
Re: What's a seriously creepy, on-the-edge, scare-the-crap-out-of-you movie?
Most of these horror-flicks don't do it for me. I don't like the intentional scary plots etc.
Freaky David Lynch movies like Wild at Heart or Blue Velvet did make me think like WTF. He uses intelligent psychologic images coming straight out of a nightmare, which gives me guaranteed chills.
(Mulholland Drive with the stupid bunny rabbits sucks though, don't watch that) Originally Posted by snuggans

Did I miss the post where someone mentioned Event Horizon that sparked the comment about it being awful? Which it was.
Also, Mulholland Drive! I bought that movie without watching it. It was cheap and I like Lynch. If there was a point to the movie, I missed it. I was far too bored with the movie to pay that much attention.
As for scare the crap out of you movies. Don't think they really exist. You are so detached being a member of the audience to be truly scared. You have to rely on interesting camera work and interesting characters in the scenes. You can get creepy movies that way.
You could go see Drag Me To Hell. I really enjoyed that movie, and it is in theaters. -
Re: What's a seriously creepy, on-the-edge, scare-the-crap-out-of-you movie?
I agree. This movie is very popular among a certain cineast crowd though and is supposed to be hard to understand, but I couldn't care less for all that what happened on the screen either. Originally Posted by Unorthodoxt

Don't want to derail too much, I guess Mulholland Drive would scare the
out of you. Being such junk. But damn man! Make the movie watchable so that I even care what it's suppose to be about.

Re: What's a seriously creepy, on-the-edge, scare-the-crap-out-of-you movie?
I quite liked it. Or at least I think I did. Sure the plot was very nearly/totally indecipherable but it succeeded in creating a cool dream-like atmosphere (I think it is meant to be a dream, or at least large portions of it). Not Lynch's best work though - that would be Twin Peaks IMO. Originally Posted by Unorthodoxt

I like this scene a lot, very atmospheric:

another one is the original Solaris russian movie from the late 70s scifi about a twisted situation on a space station studying an alien world
1tetsuo the iron man,2 eraser head, also 3naked lunch, if you like to be disturbed ( 1guy binding himself with machines, rape by drills; 2frog baby, guy is made into erasers; 3heroin addict author gets gay in brazil while typing on a giant bug that talks)
1near dark, and 2The Keep -- if you want a more traditional , cool horror/action flick first 1one is about country hick murderous vampires ;2 the second is about something waking up in a keep in romania during the nazi occupation--- both very good movies with or without the horror addendum.Last edited by Chaigidel; June 15, 2009 at 12:07 PM.

Who watches horror films to get scared? Most horror films follow this pattern....'shhhs, shhhs, .... shhss....BOO!'
Way too many of films of that genre, in my opinion, have terrible plots and horrible dialogue. Although I did like the thing and the shining.
I havent seen Mulholland Drive although at first glance it seems interesting. I was not aware of how widely acclaimed it was/is. I also dismissed drag me to hell as being another typical horror film but apparently that was well received.
