A good horror movie?

Can anyone suggest a good horror movie? I'll tell you what I like and have seen and what I don't like...





Loved the thing, an american werewolf in london, bram stoker's Dracula, The Lost Boys, The Fly, The Howling. Liked the underworld movies, Blade I %26amp; II, Hellboy, invasion of the body snatchers.





I dislike movies like SAW, hostel, devil's rejects and such.





I like zombie movies and japanese horror movies (but I've seen tooo many of these), but if you've seen one you've seen all, so unless it's super original and cool, don't mention it.





Also, I don't like the hide and seek, and see no evil type...





I like when the movie relies more on story and/or action than in violence or gore and blood.





Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

A good horror movie?
seriously skip the remake of the Haunting... it takes camp and cheese to unsatisfying levels. The original one is by far the way to go.


You say you like Japanese horror... how about Korean? I just watched "The Host" today and bad dubbing aside, it was a fairly decent flick with a few jump moments. It is a monster movie and features a little gore... but it is more character driven than shock fest.

Dust till dawn
Reply:I've always liked "The Exorcist"





Rear Window is pretty good too - though I'm not sure I'd classify it as a true horror flick. There's a gray area between horror and thriller. You really can't go wrong with Hitchcock.
Reply:It's not really a true horror, but I like "The Hunger". It has David Bowie, Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve in it. Plus it has fantastic music. Slow moving, but very good.
Reply:The original "The Haunting". Someone mentioned the 1999 remake. Forget it and go get the black-and-white original, with Julie Harris.


I first saw this on TV, over two nights, with commercial interruptions, and I was still scared silly! There is no blood, and no special effects. It's all in the mind, and they never show what's causing the haunting. And that's the reason it works -- because whatever any horror movie shows you, it's never as powerful as what your imagination can conjure up.


Based on the book by Shirley Jackson, this is truly the benchmark by which all other "horror" movies are rated.





Forget slasher movies -- they leave nothing to the imagination and are not scary, only nauseating. Zombie movies speak to our fears, but in the end it's still just some rotting bodies. We all die in the end, and there's no horror in that.
Reply:ok...you like underworld and blade but you don't like Saw? i understand that they are completely different types of movies,but i mean come on....the Saw movies may suck, but i'm pretty sure that they are much better than underworld and blade.


but anyway, theres always Resident Evil:Extinction, thats coming out soon...it looks like a really sucky movie but it looks like its gonna have a lot of action.(hey,it has zombies in it...who doesn't like zombies?)


there really isn't any horror movie today that is good. Maybe you should try fantasy or something else. Start with Pan's Labyrinth,that movie has a great story and it has a really dark tone.
Reply:Try An American Haunting. It is the true story of John Bell and his family. It is the only documented case where a spirit causes the death of a man. It stars Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek. It isn't bloody or gory, but certainly scary. Andrew Jackson was reported to say that he would rather take on the entire English Fleet rather than stay one night in the Bell house.
Reply:My favorite Zombie movies old:





1) Dawn of the Dead -1978 original considered the best one by most die hard fans


2) Night of the Living Dead- 1968 original in black and white


3)Day of the Dead- Early 1985- Romero (the director of all three) stated this was his favorite one. I agree





Out of the New zombie movies and remakes





1) 28 weeks Later- 2007- English director Danny Boyle did a very good job. Might want to see the first one titled "28 days later" done in 2003


2) Dawn of the Dead -remake 2004. A few different twists and homages to the original


3) Day of the Dead is to remade sometime in 2007





You will probably like the newer ones because they are more action movies. The older ones consist more of character development and the basic theme that humans can't coexist together. They are a little more gorier too.

The Haunting (1999)





A remake of the classic 1963 movie "The Haunting" about a team of paranormal experts who look into strange occurrences in an ill-fated house. Through the course of the night some will unravel, some will question, and all will fight for their lives as the house fights back. Written by PofRules





Eleanor Lance is called to meet at Hill House for Dr. Marrow's sleeping disorder studies, along with three other people. The owners of the house tell them that no one will be around and that they won't be able to hear them. The first night they all sit around and talk. Eleanor tells them that her sleeping disorder is different because she can sleep it is just that she wakes up because she thinks her dead mom is still living with her. Well that isn't the case now because she is woken one night in the Hill House bedroom by talking childrens voices asking her for her help. At first scared by the voice, she learns to avoid them. Later, the group finds out that Dr. Marrow is not using them for sleeping disorders but a test in fear. The fear is first thought to be fake but eventually turns real when loud noises are heard and objects start to move. Now they must try an escape the house before they are all killed.

I like the old ones with Don Knots in a castle and the ones with Bud and Abbot in a castle both scarey or at least for those 3 guys I mentioned.
