Best horror film?

Asked by TrkReznor (704points) December 15th, 2010

What is the best horror film out there/ I have been watching horror movie after movie. I use them as inspiration to lyrics in my horror punk band. I have seen all Halloween, all Nightmare on Elm Street, all Children of the Corn, all Jason, all Scarecrow, all Dark Harvest, and all Chainsaw Massacres… any more?

The Exorcist.

Silence of the Lambs was probably the creepiest in my book.

I vote for The Exorcist.

Still thinking The Birds. No explanation, no resolution, and I still get creeped out by any black birds massing on wires and in trees.

Yawn. You’re going way too mainstream if you want to be thought of as doing anything remotely original in your band.

At the very least, look at old Dario Argento movies.

An oldie, the 60s maybe, called The Haunting. Really scary.

Evil Dead II followed closely by Near Dark.

Hellraiser, Hellbound: Hellraiser II, Jacob’s Ladder. Bully – not a horror movie per se but very twisted -

The Human Centipede because it’s really possible and makes everyone puke who watches it even though it’s not all that gory compared to a lot of horror movies. Why does it make everyone puke? You’ll have to watch it to find out :-p

i can see ‘the exocist’. and if you’ll be around sea water then ‘jaws’. but i, personally, think that the remake of ‘dawn of the dead’ is the scariest. until it came out ‘28 days later’ was
especially when he goes into the church, looks down on all of the dead in/on the pews, he say: ‘hello…’, and then 4 or 5 of the corpses turn out not to be, and they look up with total hatred in their eyes.

Wrong Turn. Only the first one though. If you liked The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, you’ll love that.

Or try some less mainstream business; Frontiers, Martyrs, Wilderness or High Tension.

Blood Sucking Freaks, too.
