Guest Ozymandias Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Goddamnit, it should have read "Scariest Non-Horror Movies" Anyway: The Deer Hunter Donnie Darko Requiem For A Dream The Virign Suicides (no, NOT because of Kirsten Dunst's teeth! ) Anyone else?
Guest J*ingus Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Depends on if you'd count Alien as horror or sci-fi. If it's the latter, then it gets my vote.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Most sci-fi movies are too closely related to horror...Alien is pretty much a horror movie in space. It's intention is to scare. I say the Crying Game...guy's dressing as women scare the hell out of me
Guest Youth N Asia Posted August 20, 2002 Report Posted August 20, 2002 Kazaam *YNA having flashbacks from Nam*
Guest Incandenza Posted August 21, 2002 Report Posted August 21, 2002 Requiem for a Dream, certain parts of Happiness....
Guest godthedog Posted August 21, 2002 Report Posted August 21, 2002 'deliverance'. the ending scared me more than any other movie in my life. i literally couldn't sleep afterwards.
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted August 21, 2002 Report Posted August 21, 2002 There was a part in LOTR that disturbed me when I saw it the first time.
Guest evenflowDDT Posted August 21, 2002 Report Posted August 21, 2002 I've had a childhood fear of E.T.... think about it, for a "family" movie that's some freaky ish going on right there. Also are we counting "thrilling intensity" as fear? Requiem for a Dream and Arlington Road kept me on the edge of my seat, and they're very intense movies, but I certainly wasn't afraid of them.
Guest franchise632 Posted August 21, 2002 Report Posted August 21, 2002 Event Horizon, I saw it in the theater and for some reason it just freaked me out.
Guest DawnBTVS Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 American History X...very realistic.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 ok, Don't Laugh... Unico and the Island of Magic... HEY! I SAID DON'T LAUGH! I was really little, and that puppet thing was pretty creepy, turning everybody into little stone puppets and all of that...
Guest Youth N Asia Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 But movies like Jaws and Event Horizen are meant to be scarey...that's their intent...E.H. is just as much horror as it is sci-fi...and Jaws is horror
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 E.T. scared the piss outta me too. ET moving through the field at the opening... Took me like 7 years to watch the whole thing after the opening...
Guest C.H.U.D. Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 I found parts of Close Encounters of the Third Kind kind of spooky as a child. Same with the ending to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 I don't think Jacob's Ladder was a horror film per se... so that gets my vote.
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 There was a part in LOTR that disturbed me when I saw it the first time. Same with me, which scene are you referring to?
Guest NoCalMike Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 Requiem for a Dream definately......Arlington Road is another good candidate.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 As for LOTR...I was creeped out by Cate Blanchett I don't know about anyone else...but she freaked me out.
Guest J*ingus Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 You know what's funny? The glowing super powerful mighty morphin' computerized demoness Galadriel didn't frighten me half as much as just plain ol' Cate Blanchett. I just saw Signs today... don't know if you'd call it "horror", but it was fucking creepy.
Guest converge241 Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 Requiem just makes you feel damn dirty afterwards Kids
Guest franchise632 Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 But movies like Jaws and Event Horizen are meant to be scarey...that's their intent...E.H. is just as much horror as it is sci-fi well excuse the shit outta me!
Guest Youth N Asia Posted August 22, 2002 Report Posted August 22, 2002 Whoa whoa whoa...take it easy man
Guest godthedog Posted August 23, 2002 Report Posted August 23, 2002 the whole photography of 'gummo' and how it looked in general also freaked the hell out of me. the whole time i was going, "augh! look at that kid's head! augh! it's a retarded girl, & she's shaving her eyebrows! augh! it's another retarded girl, and she's alone in a hospital holding balloons! augh! what the hell is in that bathwater?" just a movie that really gets under your skin, especially visually.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted August 23, 2002 Report Posted August 23, 2002 Thirteen Days. Movies about the Cold War frighten me the most, as some of them are actual true stories. Frightening fare. 2001: A Space Odyssey was scary as shit too. I can't watch it at night, because then I'm afraid if I lay in bed, a monolith will appear at its foot and I'll turn into a space fetus. That's all I can think of for now. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge
Guest DARRYLXWF Posted August 23, 2002 Report Posted August 23, 2002 2001 was more of a comedy...same with Titanic
Guest Coffin Surfer Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Pee Wee's Big Adventure. From the creepy soundtrack to the surreal imagery, and Pee Wee himself. Scary Shit for a children's film.
