Cool Best Horror Films

I have just really enjoyed "Dawn of the Dead" again

What are your personal favourites, I could do with some more to enjoy, but there is a load of pap out there. Preferences is the way to go.

I love the Saw series and Alien vs Predator 2 looks good, any others worth a glance

I don't watch horror any more. With passing years, my heart has gone weaker. I bought Black Christmas DVD for my daughter this Christmas. I had to sit and watch it with kids as our film watching seasonal family session. Although it was pretty cr@p, I was nearly sh!tting myself, thinking that the weirdo is gonna get me in my loft bedroom! So, I had to doss in our living room with the hall light on that night
However, I think Jurassic Park was quite horrifying when the nasty dinosaur comes up on the glass panel. I did put my sleeves up for that!

Bambi did it for me .... the way his Mummy was killed in cold blood just left me cold .... no Horror Movie quite had the same effect although I was well into my 20's when I went to see it with Mummy and Daddy

the hostel films were bloody ace i thought. simple storyline, but the way it developed with everyone was excellent.

saw series is my favourtie by far. some serious brain power went into those contraptions.

I'm with kbsub, The Descent is a superb film. I hope Neil Marshall revisits the story one day, but as he only seems to put one film out every 3 years or so it may be some time.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" does it for me, terrific suspense.

The Thing is by far the best for its day and that its still gruesome by todays standards.

As much as I love the Aliens franchise, its sequels and spin offs have diluted the fear factor.

I particularly like the 28 days/weeks (and I believe months) trilogy. They don't rush the plot too much and you get a good feeling of immersion.

I can't remember watching a horror anytime recently, that has frightened me. I don't like gore, not because it frightens me, but I just prefer a film with more story/suspense than blood and guts. Any suggestions welcome.

Was it as good as the scene in 28 Days, in the tunnel with a flat tyre. That had me climbing the walls, telling them to hurry up

That has to be one of the vilest films ever. :shudder: Not like me, except for the Rack scene in Saw 111, to actually turn away at some points. But I did. I think the (dare I mention the creature) dog changing was truly horrible.

if you want a fooked up film, try and stomach the full uncut version of cannibal holocaust, the remake of Halloween is quite good also for a mainstream film. PM me if you fancy anything in particular, i have a collection
August underground, its pretty fooked up if you can stomach it also? but i wouldn't recommend it!
