Scariest Movie

[Olthar]

Meh, that wasn't that bad. Sure, it had a couple scenes that were a little frightening, but even Blair Witch Project was scarier in my book, and that's saying something.

Pardon? The Thing is the scariest movie I've seen, surpassing every other horror movie and game I've seen or played. The scene where it looks up at them, surrounded by humans, staring passively... Then lifts up it's malformed claw, opens it mouth, and screams an inhuman groan... *shudder*

I watched it when I was like thirteen or something, and it almost put me to sleep. It was more dull than anything.

Dull? The Thing can be accused of many things, but unless you really were not paying attention, dull is not a valid description of the movie.

Seriously?! I couldn't sleep for weeks!

The Thing.

Dear God, that's a freaky movie.

THIS WAS A MAN'S HEAD ONCE.

Some suspense movies have the mental aspect to them .... there's a lot of that. When the eye candy was there, boy howdy, but it had it's strength in the suspense and suspicion.

[The Grand World Order]

Cannibal Holocaust. Look it up, the entire movie's on Google, if you feel so inclined.

Why is it scary for me? Cause that shit happens all the time.

EDIT: Oh, and cause there's actual actor mutilation in it.

[Augarundus]

I love classics: The Omen, The Exorcist, and The Shining are all great.

My favorite horror (though it's not deliberately frightening; it's not "true horror") is Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992 version). Fantastic film. Be watching it tomorrow.

I still say that it failed as a horror movie. If it can't even scare a child, then it's just not good.

You obviously didn't understand it.

[Straughn]

I should mention that Pet Sematary is scarier as a parent. As is Poltergeist.

.... anyone mention Poultrygeist or Black Sheep?

[The Grand World Order]

Oh, there's also Human Caterpillar, but IMO that was more of a "fucking gross" factor. CH is still much worse.

Meh, most of these are weak. By being an artist that devotes a lot of time into stuff like this, most of it doesn't even phase me anymore. Sad really. I can't be scared by movies.

You weren't scared by the Thing?

Even CH with it's real actor mutilations and depictions of actual animal cruelty?

Agreed.

Dead Space, while essentially a video-game retelling of The Thing IN SPACE, trails this by a close second. Sure, it's interactive (and not a movie), but... just...
It's The Thing. Come on.

Mmmm.... Dead Space had more in common I think with conventional horror. Something was either out to kill you and showing it, or not out to kill you and showing it. The Thing... Anyone could be the Thing. It definitely shared the body horror aspect though.

No, I understood it perfectly. It just wasn't scary. See, the point that is was trying to make was that this thing couldn't be easily detected and could hide in plain sight, waiting for the opportune moment to strike, correct? Pretty much, it's a vampire film but with aliens. Frankly, I'd rather watch the vampires. They tend to be scarier.

A vampire film? Vampires have conventional weaknesses, and are often quite easy to spot in such movies. This had more in common with 'The Invasion of the Body Snatchers' than any Vampire movie. You're really just proving my point that you didn't understand the movie.

Nope. It made me laugh actually.

Nope. It made me laugh actually.

The only possible answer is that you're one of them.

Remember, when all else fails, shoot everything.

[Fanaglia]

[REC], hands down, was the scariest movie I've ever seen. Poltergeist and Arachnophobia are pretty great, too.

Fail. No they aren't. Unless you're looking at your Count Orlok-type vampires, the very point of a vampire is that they are nearly indistinguishable from humans. They blend right into society.

The Thing.

I remember there was a game for it, I think, or a game that was based of it but different title.

Was it called Peneumbra or something. I can't recall, but its fucking scary. SO, if the game scares me, I wonder what the movie will be like ._.

Then again, most movies don't really scare me unless they "surprise" me. I can just predict what will happen. It might disturb me, but no movie can make me not go to sleep. I will, however, check this movie out.
