Re: Whats the scariest movie?

By far the scariest movie i've ever seen is Audition. It starts out humorous, and the tone gets darker and darker. For the majority of the movie, nothing bad is even happening, but there is an ominous tone running underneath until finally culminating in what may very well be the most disturbing 15 minutes of any film ever made. In addition to being scary, all the events that take place are somewhat plausible, making it even harder to watch. I had to stop the movie at least 3 times during the final sequence to take a break. It is a true masterpiece of filmmaking, and i give it my highest reccomendation.

I think Glitter is right up there with those two.

seriously though, the only scary movie that really freaks me out is Chucky and for this reason:
the first time I saw it, I was like 8...and sleeping over my cousin's house - in the play room on the fold-out couch. and in that playroom was a "My Buddy" doll that looked exactly like Chucky. yeah...I stayed up the entire night thinking it was gonna come alive and kill me.

Re: Whats the scariest movie?

I don't actually watch many scary movies, so I can't really contribute. But along with what greencactus3 said, watching scary movies at home with friends is hilarious, cause so many horrible plot points and stupid mistakes are pointed out. Also, try watching any scary movie in Spanish or another language that you have no idea what anything they are saying means. I saw part of the Ring like this on HBO Spanish, couldn't stop laughing.

Re: Whats the scariest movie?

I saw the movie Saw yesterday. It has instantly become one of my most favorite movies of all time. In fact, I'll be going to see it again in the theater. There's a good mix of scares and gruesomeness, the best part is how clever it is. When you leave the theater you'll shake your head saying, "that was awesome." So go see it!

Go Silence of the Lambs! Psychological thrillers always get to me.
I agree ... I didn't find The Ring to be really scary at all, in fact, at some points I actually laughed. Many scary movies are too predictable and I think it is kind of funny how people get freaked out by something that you could tell was going to happen and is overly cliche (many, many scary movies are cliche)...

Not to say that there are no movies that have scared me. Movies where what happens in them could happen in REAL LIFE totally freak me out. Even movies that ARE unrealistsic sometimes scare me, like Carrie. Sometimes ghost movies scare me too because I am not sure whether they exist or not. What Lies Beneath comes to mind...

Kazzam

Seeing Shaq act scared the crap out of me

Seriously I think the Exorcist creeped me out the most, but it was only one part, when the girl was getting the ECG and the doctors drained the blood by poking her neck and the blood was squirting out (yes squirting like a water pistol) that creeped me out.

"Session 9"
I own this movie, and it still freaks me out, not really scary, but it messes with my head when i watch it in the dark.

The Ring kept me from going even remotely near a television for a whole month; I kept thinking she's come out and get me. A friend lent me his tape, whose quality wasn't so great. I had to sit extremely close to the screen to both see and hear clearly. The death of first girl (Katie, was it?) took me by surprise, so I actually stopped the tape and ran screaming away. About 10 minutes later, curiosity forced me back. The worst part was the person who lent it to me. He planned on prank calling me right after, but he didn't get the time. ^.^;

A lot of people tell me Ringu is a lot better, but I haven't watched it. I have access to it, but am too cowardly to watch alone. (Yes, scaredy me.)

I recently viewed Texas Chainsaw Massacre (new), and it wasn't too scary in my opinion. It was gory, however. Somehow I was reminded of Gothika....

I actually was not scared by The Ring. My brother was watching it in the car with the headphones on (We have one of those vans with the TV in 'em), and I was just watching it too, and I knew everything that was happening without even listening. And I'm easily spooked by horror movies, so this one obviously had to not have been good since I, the queen of being spooked, was not scared one bit. Haha, but I must say, the only part that freaked me out was when the woman turned the guy's chair around and his face was all mangled (this was near the end, but I shall not give away the end). So yeah, I didn't find it scary.
