Top 3 Scariest Movies?

Recommended Posts

I have another one.

 

"Tetsuo - the Iron Man".

 

It's not really a horror flick (it's very, very bizarre, though), but it's incredibly gory and graphic and it really unsettled me. The first five minutes in particular, where the metal-phile slices his leg open and inserts that screw, and we cut to a few days later when he takes off the bandage and the wound is all infected and crawling with maggots. Totally cringe-worthy.

Selma Blair, DeRay Davis, and Rade Serbedzija have signed on for roles in John Carpenter's "The Fog." Tom Welling and Maggie Grace are already set for the film.

 

The film is set on the coast of a Northern California town where a ship sank years ago amidst a thick, dense fog. The ghosts of the doomed ship then begin terrorizing the residents when the fog returns 100 years later.

Damn! Didn't I just mention this movie? Could this be a remake of sorts? Sounds very much like that flick I saw years ago.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre has the most intense final 20 minutes ever capture on film, IMO.

 

The Evil Dead is quality for creating tremendous amounts of suspense, and if you watch it with an open mind in a dark room - alone or with people that haven't seen it before - it can get to you.

 

Personally, I felt that Alien was terrifying the first time I saw it (though I was 7).

So that movie isn't about killer Fog?

No, the fog is just a cover for the real horror.

 

 

I enjoy the original, but I'm looking forward to this remake. If it's done correctly it wouldn't have much trouble surpassing the original.

Was the fog that turned people inside out ever a movie? I remember the story from an old LP of Arch Oboler spooky radio stories I had. Years later I saw the simpsons reference it on a halloween episode, but figured the original idea was too obscure to be referenced, so there might be an intermediate point.

Evil Dead (especially because I didn't know there were sequels when I first saw it)

Halloween

Dawn of the Dead

 

 

 

special mention: Zombi 2. Zombies always did scare the fuck out of me. This movie in particular, with the people being unarmed until the end, the music, and the very end, scared me for a while. I don't have it as one of the above three because watching it now, I don't even see how I thought the end was scary. It's even kinda funny how New York has the normal amount of traffic even in a zombie apocalypse

Jaws

Alien

The Shining

 

Phantasm scared me when I was a lot younger too. The Tall Man was creepy.
