Well we started talking about horror films in another thread. I figured we could devote this thread to general talk...recommendations, reviews, etc. So, post what you got!


How about we start with movies worth watching?

-Last House on the Left
-Amityville Horror
-The Evil Dead
-The Haunting

Oh boy, I love horror movies. I'll be watching this thread for awhile. Here are a few of my favorites...

The Thing
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Dead Alive
Night of the Living Dead
Re-Animator
The Evil Dead

For those that enjoy the theatres I suggest you check out "28 Weeks Later", awsome flick. Also check out "Grindhouse" while it's still out.

I love Horror movies, some of my favorites are
Night of the living Dead
Dawn of the Dead
Texas chainsaw massacre( I liked the remake with jessica biel too)
Nightmare on Elm street
I even like some of the "goofier" ones like Childs play,Freddy vs Jason, I even liked the remake of when a stranger calls( probably because I liked the house in that movie so much!) I 'll check this thread often,

the first 15 minute of the original Dawn of the dead.........simply stunning....I think I was 8 when I talked my mother into taking me to see that film. Needless to say, 2 things happend
#1, we got up & left, demanding her money returned
#2, I never got to pick another movie agian

I forgot to mention Cabin Fever, great movie IMO. Hostel was also good, I'll be paying close attention to what director Eli Roth produces.

A few more...

The Fly
The Decent
High Tension
The Hills Have Eyes
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead (both the original and remake)
Jaws (all time favorite)

I would have to add that Zombie movies seem to be some of my favorites, I liked all of the original Night,Dawn,Day of the Dead, and all of the remakes ,Zombie,28 days later,Land of the dead,Sean of the dead,Return of the dead 1 and 2 but I had to cut it off after all of those crappy sci-fi channel "return of the living deads" they made, if you know any other good ones let me know!

I like Steven Kings "Cats eye" The one with lil Drew berrymoore. and House of 1000 corpses, Devils rejects.....was a real good one!

Oh I forgot Fright Night. That movie was awesome, along with Poltergeist, the saw flicks weren't bad. Touristas had a couple of good scenes but wouldn't give it a strong recommendation. Along the lines of Hostel/Wolf Creek but not as good. The underwater scenes were pretty cool though.
