Wythenshawe watching Crappy Fims
Going to try the 1970s Wickerman in a moment and have added the Borderlands to the list as well

Has anyone seen children of the corn if so is it good? On the list above it says theres a remake is that good?
If you mean the Wickerman, yes there is a re make DONT WATCH IT , N Cage's worst film by a long way, it is truly a dreadful film, the original is amazing.
I did not rate Children of the Corn that much, it was OK.

I think you misunderstood it, it's truly a comedic masterpiece :lol:

I have never seen it, not for any reason, just never really fancied it, now I like very gory, blood for the sake of blood films, but like a few on here the killing of actual animals stopped me.
The DVD and Blue Ray releases have options to watch the movie with all of the animal cruelty scenes edited out.

if you like bloody and gory films then I'd definately recommend you track down a copy of the cut that has the animal scenes removed.

Watched the original Wickerman the other night it was fairly creepy

Did the Borderlands last night, while OK I expected a little more from it I think half the problem was I'm not keen on ghost films as they usually follow the same pattern

Still looking for something that makes me truly scared- the sort where it plays on your mind leaving you looking behind doors

Borderlands isn't a ghost film is it? Anyway, I suspect it appeals to my particular psyche. I liked it because, despite the found footage format, I can't really think of another film quite like it and the ending was horrendously visceral.

Supernatural films that creeped me out to at least some extent (some already mentioned):

Hereditary
Sinister
Session 9
Ringu
Insidious
Grave Encounters

The only film that’s done that to me was the original Grudge, not the remake. I watched it alone pretty late when it came out, scared the living bejeezuz out of me.

I watched (and was spooked by) many Asian horrors due to watching alone. The Grudge, Ringu, Shutter, The Eye etc but I think that style of ghost had been milked so much that these films now feel very dated.

I might try The Eye again and see if this is true...

You’re right but that was a fecking nightmare when it first came out. I was at uni at the time so must have been about 20 years ago. Proper fresh back then.

Dark Water was good too.

Yeah I was at uni at that time too.

Dark Water, Ghost Train, One Missed Call... I loved them all!

I might watch one of these tonight!

Not proper horror, but the original The Vanishing may do that to you.

The 1988 Dutch film directed by George Sluizer.

Watched it with my cousin and when we saw the ending he said ‘they shouldn’t allow films like this to be made’.

Interesting, found it on IMDB and it's highly rated, is it in English?

Would Come And See count ?

I know it's a war movie but it's far more horrific than any horror movie I've ever seen. The mud scene in particular it's truly something else.


If not then I remember Deathwatch as a decent war/horror film(Although it's has a rubbish rating on RT so maybe it's just nostalgia)

Anyone seen August Underground? Just violence... No art.

Grotesque and A Serbian Film are also cartoonishly violent.

As a kid in the mid-to-late 80s, I would get up between the hours of midnight and five AM on weekends to sneak into the living room to watch movies on Cinemax, HBO, and Showtime. Mostly comedic T&A flicks, the occasional softcore porn those channels had, sometimes to see a horror flick that caught my attention. I can recall quite a few movie titles but one flick that I vividly recall was Spasms, another was Curse II.

USA channel would show tons of B movie flicks back then, often vampire genre and slasher flicks.

Watched The Vanishing today. Good stuff.

Gremlins, Ghoulies, Critters... as a kid I was a sucker for those comedy-horror type of movies.

Invaders from Mars (1986) fecked me up good as a kid.

Has anyone seen Us and is it as good as Get Out ?

Just watched Get Out and it was a really well made horror film that i didn't think was possible in modern times.

Not a film per se, but Ju-On: Origins series is coming out on Netflix this Thursday, also known as The Grudge, japanese horror movie franchise. I haven't watched american remakes and can't be bothered to. I did love the original japanese movie.




Hoping series will be decent.

@United Hobbit did you watch Vanishing yet?
Yes it was good, the ending made me shudder!

it was the fact you kept getting the glimmer of hope then its snuffed out you were almost shouting at him not to drink the coffee.
Got United tonight hopefully that won't turn into the ultimate horror.

They need to make a decent new horror, we all agree there hasn't been that much good recently we should all club together and make one :lol:

Haha yeah agonising. I’ve only watched it once but have no plans to watch it again. Not out and out horror just a disturbing ending, and the scenes where they show the background of the psycho while he was growing up and he’s talking about his own way of looking at things have also stayed with me.

Jacob's Ladder is quite haunting, if you haven't seen that.

Seen a couple of good ones the last few days. Wouldn't say either was "scary" as in jumping more intense. The characters weren't stupid on the whole either which is always a plus.

Mum & Dad.
Very grim at times. Don't want to give too much away but bits were hard to watch

The Incident
Something a bit different and good though the ending was a bit weird and leaves questions over what came before
