can anyone recommend a decent horror flick?

[Don Seer]

me and a friend watch movies most tuesdays.. and she likes horror flicks.. (we dont only watch horror) but lately it seems stuff is mismarketed as 'scary' when its just hack n slash.. e.g. devils rejects.. need something that makes you jump!

here's a quick list of stuff we've watched in the last few months.. broken down by what we like/didnt


liked... Saw, Saw II, Dawn of the dead (remake), batman begins

kinda liked. House of wax remake, the exorcism of emily rose, land of the dead

didnt feel..  Dark Water, Devils Rejects, flightplan

I hope you weren't implying that "Batman Begins" was a horror...LOL. With that being said, I have two movies in mind. If you're looking for a true horror movie, rent "High Tension". Great story, retro style horror, yet very refined. Another one, especially if you're looking for jump-scares (as you said) would be "Toolbox Murders"...It's a new movie by the legendary Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre", "Potergeist" "Salems Lot", etc.). It's his best in the last 15 years or so...You should check those out if you get the chance.

BTW, "Devils Rejects" was a sequel to "House of 1000 Corpses". Hopefully you saw "House of 100 Corpses" first...I actually liked "The Devils Rejects", although I see why you wouldn't. It's very much cult...

[Don Seer]

yeah i know batman begins/flightplan/dark water/exorcism of... arent really horror.. cant remember what else we've watched.. we did go to see king kong for my bday a few weeks back too..

i've heard of toolbox murders.. i'll look it up.. keep em coming

Man, Dark Water was trash. I can't believed I paid money to see it. I enjoyed Hostel, so I recommend that.

A very flawed list...

[AZ§o§a]

A MUST RENT
scared the shit outa me..... which is rare

High Tension

also... they really fucked that movie Dream Catcher up.. the first 30mins were scary then it just got HORRID

[Mygla]

i got pretty fuckin' freaked out by The Descent... but then again, i'm slightly claustrophobic

[Don Seer]

oh yeah we watched that a few weeks ago.. we thought it was alright..

[No Compute]

Night of The Living Dead, Dawn of The Dead and Day of The Dead. All three are much better than the Dawn of The Dead remake.

The "Ring" movies, the Japanese versions are better than the American but they are all pretty good.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

If you want a freaky/weird type horror, check out "May" as well. It's kinda' like a recent day "Carrie", but the storyline is way different. Saw it a few weeks back and thought it was pretty good...
