Blair Witch Project and The Descent

When I watched The Grudge for the first time, oh jesus fuck, the first time you see her, in the attic, I was so freaked out I thought my heart would explode. It's like... at first, I didn't really see her face properly, so I had to look closer, and... oh crap.


The Exorcist wasn't even scary, apart from the scene where she ran down the stairs upside down and shit, that kinda freaked me out a bit.

The Ring (American Version although the Japanese make is still pretty good).

And Battle Royale.

I've still to see the likes of The Exorcist and the Shining but The Blair Witch Project? A load of bollocks.

I'm trying to see all of these foreign Horror films that have astounding ratings on rottentomatoes, movies.com, etc. and this week have seen Ju-On (The Grudge) and The Devil's Backbone (Directed by Guillermo del Toro).

Ju-On had some great moments, but the story telling technique was so flawed in pretty much ruined the movie for me. I hear the Grudge was better, only because they developed a coherent flow and developed the back story a bit better.

The Devil's Backbone was not scary at all, aside from a few creepy moments. It was, however, the smartest horror movie I have ever seen.

The Shining is always a classic.

Also another that I loved or at least the concept and not so much the acting was the original Saw.

Misery as well

I feel horror movies, at least that are creepy in my mind are movies that you can actually imagine happening. The idea of the first saw is very plausible, unlike some other movies like Pinhead or whatever. I feel horror should protray a form a realism that is able to bring the audience in and have them believe they could be in a similar position. Though this does not apply to all horror movies. Some horror movies are extremely great, but not in the least bit realistic. My theory for horror goes though is gore doesn't make a movie scary, it is just filler. True horror, doesn't need to show you anything to still be scary. If its just gore, then their trying to subsitute for lack of actual good horror imo. One movie I think is terrible, Hostel. Hated every moment of this movie and did not even find it scary. Guess everyoen has their own taste.

I cringe at just the thought of when she breaks the guy's feet so he'll have no chance of escaping...for some reason that movie really gets at you, especially that scene.
