Default Good Horror Films???

Decided to stay in with the GF this friday and just watch a DVD. She likes her horror films but she won't watch any of the Japanese ones because she hates reading subtitles (WTF???). Anyway can people throw me some Titles????

Cheers!!!!

Dojj, time and time again we've proved that when it comes to anything other than animation or wrestling, your film taste sucks gassy farts out of dead pigeons.

but i enjoy films that i like, and don't enjoy films i hate

you are probably one of these "priccila queen of the desert" types who like "arty" films

talking of that, i watched schindlers list the other day for the first time, and fuck me that's a brutal look at how some people got their kicks, i was utterly flabbergasted at what went on

What sort of film do you want to watch?

For a psychological thriller/horror I don't personally think there are many western films to match Jacob's Ladder [some of the Jap stuff is cracking but you don't want subtitles!].

Out and out scarefest, Event Horizon is great imo.

British/lowish budget/bit tongue in cheek but plenty of "tense hide behind the cushion" moments, you can't go wrong with Dog Soldiers

You probably did it without realising, but that's the most sense you've ever made

I watched that on fast forward and felt like I wasn't missing out on anything but I still feel robbed that I gave Ł3 for it from Tesco. On 20x fast forward it was still the most boring 5 minutes of my life Terrible, terrible film.

'the mist' is actually quite a good watch, not the greatest, but definitely worth a mooch

1 of the freakiest films iv seen for a while has to be 'mirrors'. so id suggest that as an option too

Oh come on Claire that film was not remotely scary. I dare you to watch 'Reincarnation'. Its a Japanese horror which is quite freaky. Especially the Doll that walks ewwwww!!!

I've seen 100's, this one I thought was pretty good and a break from the usual horror format:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450385/

Plus its based on a Stephen King novel so is always going to be fucked up.

there is one absolutly proper head fuck moment in the film where i went "what the fuck just happened there "

and check this one out if you can still get it, very very old school horror, but i enjoyed watching it

Psychological movies, stuff that makes you think is what's scary. This blood and guts gore just isn't scary anymore, Saw movies are all shite!

shrooms is a shocking film. Couldn't get into it at all

i rented out a cheapy one called "seed" the other day. just watching the bit where he puts a dog/baby/kid/teenager/adult in 1 room at different times to watch them die of starvation then decompose makes you think

the only horror things that i find unable to watch are some of the real life death vids on liveleak or reading stories of ancient/wartime torture or executions

truly shocking stuff

Apparently "[REC]" is very good, but is subtitled. They made a UK version called "Quarantine" which is apparently no where near as good.

New one's out are:

Mirrors (Not bad, but not very scary)
My Bloody Valentine (Apparently very good)
Quarantine
[REC] (Apparently very scary)

Can't remember anymore atm.

Watch 'The Ring' if you're bored of sleeping and fancy spending the next few nights sitting in your bed sweating and shitting yourself thinking the girl is going to come out of the TV and get you!

That could have just been me though

REC is on Sky now, its alright I guess. A bit of the Blair Witch/Cloverfield vibe to it, more realistic. Quite good

I'm guessing you are talking about the American Remake cos if you are its not scary at all. The Original Japanese one pissed all over it.

The Mist is a proper edge of your seat horror film with a gripping story and novel ending.
