Great music, and quite freaky. Not really scary though.

The only film I can think of that genuinely creeped me out is the dinner scene in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That was just surreal.

Speaking of surreal, Eraserhead also hit the spot.

Well some masked man running around with a knife doesn't scare me...so "scary" movies don't really scare me cause it's always the same fucking thing.

But Cenobites and meat hooks tearing apart ppl until they explode "scare" me.

ah there were a couple outer limits episodes that freaked me out - twisted fucking endings. They were guest starring Robert Patrick - the theme was humans vs. aliens and they ended tragically.

American Werewolf in London gave me nightmares for AGES as a kid.
Mainly the completely fucked up dream sequences; the one where he comes across himself in a hospital bed in the middle of the woods; I'll never forget those eyes and teeth...

:lol: - Almost the same for me. In my holidays after Jaws, when I was diving, I got a real paranoia, if there was a shadow or something moving.

Other scary movies:

Friday the 13th
The Evil Dead
Phantasm

The Ring (US version).

I startle easily and get very tense watching scary movies. And when I saw this, a part of the wall behind me fell down flat on the floor and almost gave me a heart attack. And the movie is pretty scary without whe wall-falling-down part also. The Grudge had some freaky scenes also, but that movie wasn't very good.

But that's just me. I can't even play the FEAR single-player demo past the first time you see the little girl.. :icon32:

terrifyingly, how is that a word...

though it was a great movie, 28 days later is NOT a zombie movie.

Technically speaking it isn't, but at it's heart it uses many of the same conventions.

I loved the film, but as I've said before, the pretentious twats who made it almost spoiled it for me with their "Making of" documentary where they claimed it was some highly intellectual social commentary.

Post by **Jackal** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 1:28 pm

I don't think I've ever watched the commentary, perhaps I shall.

really liked the film, but alex garland and danny boyle are too up their own arses. did wonder how the references to other films got into 28 days later, but then saw a documentary about zombie movies where they interviewed other crew members, and a lot of them were zombie fans.

the best thing about the special edition dvd was getting to see what an utterly crap film it could have been. they really did manage to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

the sequel looks like being a right shitfest

i thought that was a common point amongst the good zombie flicks. ( night of the living dead, 28 days later, ...)

is that an etiological issue? coz true zombies have to be made zombies by a certain process or cause and in 28 days later it was a virus or something?

Post by **4days** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 5:41 pm

zombies are walking dead people. in 28 days later, they were just regular live people that'd gotten some bug that made them really stroppy.

Post by **Pext** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 5:43 pm

i think this is a very unnecessairy distinction since the main principles of the zombie movie - the infection and the brainless hunger for human flesh - both remain.

aye, none of it matters a toss really - but making this sort of distinction becomes very important when it's late at night and you're stoned, working through possible zombie holocaust survival scenarios.

28 Days Later is more in the vein of the omega man. It's not really a zombie flick. I'm standing by my guns here.

a vampire movie?

unless they sold 28 days later as a zombie movie, people would get confused and just not watch it.

and the fucking house doesnt burn down

and watch it alone...late at night

I was so scared after I had seen it, I went upstairs with a flashlight to see if there wasnt anything there, I shit you not.

It scared me shitless

Also, A Tale of Two Sisters is a awesome movie....pretty dark, but with a very surprising plot twist which throws the movie into the drama category at the end.A definitive must see imo

What's the plot of The Grudge?
