Damn, u miss Shutter 2003, The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby and Ringu. All these movies marked the new elements for horror movies in the era. Simply terrific!
*
Shutter, not really.
The Exorcist, Rosemary's Baby and Ringu, yes, they are the pioneer in their own sub-genre.
I'd put Alien in Shutter's place here.

I don't recall there is any nudity in the Dead Alive.
Certainly, a lot of bloods.
It's more like a comedy.

i finish watching Suspiria but still dont understand the plot..

Maybe this will help. Click here.
IMO, the witch knows about her own demise after the arrival of Suzy. Therefore, she plan to kill Suzy slowly with the help of the teacher/witches in the Ballet school before Suzy kills her. Of course, in the end, Suzy kills her as destined.

Coincidentally I also watched Braindead (Dead Alive) recently. Totally wicked fun. The gross-outs in the first half an hour were really icky, simultaneously making me howl in laughter and wanna throw up, The middle sags just a slight bit, but the last 30 mins totally makes up for it and more. Not as good as ED II in my book, but deservedly a classic nonetheless. Oh and whoever said it doesn't have boobies needs to watch it again. It has the biggest boobs in a movie ever!
*
Gosh, you made me rewatch the last 30 minutes of the movie, LOL!
I mean there is no real nudity in the movie.
It was just a plastic figure.
A funny one.

Might it be... IT?? nod.gif

Definitely IT.
But for Stephen King's horror adaptation, none is better than 'The Shining'. IMO.
Just curious...Anybody seen Cujo?
This scene makes it look interesting

Cujo is a good movie. by watching the interview i feel like its overrated. there are moments made me jumpy too but not really memorable.

to me the most memorable and scariest scene in a horror movie is the last part of Ringu! but thats another topic....
*
In the interview, the featured scene was described as horrifying because it could happen in real life, IMO.
Anyway, Sadako climbing out of television is brilliant no doubt.

WOW!!!! It gives me a WARM FUZZY feeling that I brought THIS topic up!! REALLY!!!!! tongue.gif
Howling and American Werewolf in London are some other werewolf movie I like (American more then Howling). Bare in mind that they are both made in a period in Hollywood were nudity and horror goes hand in hand (why do I have a funny feeling this will only encourage inappropriate people to seek them out!! *sigh*)

You think Christina Ricci was "cute" in Cursed, did you see her in Adams Family!!?? tongue.gif (Great, now people will think that I'm a pedophile.... *Sigh* x 2. Not a WORD from you Quickfire, not a word!!)
*
Speaking of werewolf, Howling gets remake.
Let see if Hollywood will screw up another decent 80s horror.

Anyway, I have not watched Cursed yet but the transformation scene is very badly made (thanks to Youtube for giving me an opportunities to look at the transformation scene).
Too CGed.
Seriously, I still wonder why no werewolf movie beats American Werewolf In London for almost 30 years now in that category of horror.

So are you saying The Omen is horror or not horror?

Who could say The Omen is not horror?
So I suppose he means Orphan is horror....I suppose any movies with disturbing images alongside with disturbing sequence of action plus disturbing motives of antagonist towards their unaware protagonist are considered a horror film.
Including both Se7en and Silence of the lamb.

There are those who think The Omen is a comedy.
*
I know where they come from.
A lots of old horror movies do not work as effective as they used to.
IMO, the very first Evil Dead can be viewed as a comedy as well due to its make up. (No doubt, it's still a classic horror movie)
But it was banned in Europe in the 80s.
Even new horror movies do not work effective with their tricks.
People laugh in the theaters watching horror movies.
Which is sad for the horror genre.

I hope somebody had already mentioned "The Exorcist"...

Speaking of Exocist, I just finished watching Exorcist 3.
It is not bad.
It's not really about exorcism but it is a nice addition to the story.
It's a bit like Silence of the Lamb or maybe Silence of the Lamb is a bit like it.

The Exorcist, 1973. The original and the best one. The prequels look bad, that's why I didn't watch it.

I haven't seen Silence of the Lambs. Is it good?
I've only seen Hannibal Rising.
*
I remember watching Silence Of The Lamb a few years ago.
It kept me on the edge of my seat.
So it is recommended.

As for Exorcist 3, I think it is way underrated during its time.
And it is a good addition to the original premise.

QUOTE(myVelouria @ Dec 14 2009, 01:05 PM)
yup its good. 90s thriller which has the same mood as Se7en (the movie not LYN founder). its even better than Law Abiding Citizen.

The Exorcist 3 is the one with title 'Heretic' is it?
*
'Heretic' is The Exorcist 2...Which is boring according to my memory (I watched it ages ago)
The Exorcist 3 carries another name called 'Legion' (Not the 'Legion' that is coming out next year)

QUOTE(Mov_freak @ Dec 14 2009, 05:19 PM)
I STRONGLY recommend

Red Dragon
The Silence of the Lambs
Hannibal

The above is in the right time sequence

I like Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs the best.

Hannibal Rising cannot hold a candle compared to the above.
*
You should try Manhunter, a different adaptation of Red Dragon.

QUOTE(adam_man @ Dec 14 2009, 05:45 PM)
wow..i don know tht mvie have continue..bro..wht episode will the best n scare 2 u?1,2 or 3?
*
Yes, Exorcist 2 is a story about Regan after the exorcism, Exorcist 3 is related to Father Karras after the exorcism.
Of course, the first one is the scariest.

I like horror movies so much and I watched majority of movies you had described.But up until now,my number one horror film of all time is:

                        THE THING (1982) by John Carpenter

I personally thinks this movie really defines what the horror movie should be.It is not about ghosts,spirits or psychos or typical alien.It is about a microscopic level aliens with unknown default form which live and infect living/dead organism.You can watch it in youtube.Beware!Dont eat(especially burger) while watching The Thing movie or you are going to puke in some gross scene...
*
I remember after my first viewing of The Thing, it freaked me out for more than a week.
But i was only a 11yo boy.

QUOTE(myVelouria @ Dec 15 2009, 12:33 PM)

ohh the one with swarm of locusts eh? thats kinda ridiculous, not really entertaining.

*
The one with the locusts is part 2.
The one that I recommend is part 3. It is about Gemini killer.

QUOTE(Mov_freak @ Dec 15 2009, 01:24 PM)

For some ODD reason, movie makers nowadays have to make horror movies "sexy"!!?

Not so sure I agree with that, but the saying, they DON'T make them like they use to, definitely applies....
*
I do agree with you.
Unfortunately, nudity sells.
I also hate PG 13 horror.
They are jokes.

*ehem* = p!rated  laugh.gif

The Thing (1982) is actually a remake, am i right? correct me if im wrong. back in the 70s we can see a lot of nudity too, but the trend nowadays is more on exploiting teenagers with sex. maybe it all started since Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer.
*
Yes, John Carpenter's The Thing is a remake.
One of the rare remake that is better than the original.

Btw, both Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer does not have nudity in the movies. biggrin.gif
Neve Campbell did unbutton her pyjamas but we only see it from behind.

Case in Point Jennifer's Body

I'm about 50 minutes into the movie, and I couldn't care less...

What were the producer and director thinking when they made this movie!!??

Because it has Megan Fox in it, people are going to flock to it??

Never mind that the story sucks and is pointless?????  vmad.gif

AND YOU DON'T GET TO SEE JENIFFER'S BODY!!!!!!!?????????? tongue.gif
*
Megan Fox is overrated, apart from, perhaps, her body.
Anyway, I thought that movie flops.

QUOTE(myVelouria @ Dec 17 2009, 07:07 PM)
or maybe i was wrong. since the rating in movies we get to see less nudity in cinema. but teen horror flicks takes a leap since the 90s. im impressed you can still remember that scene  thumbup.gif
they teasing us with megan's sexy curves, suggestive title and some sexy scene but still no signs of jeniffer's t*ts. overall i enjoyed watching JB  laugh.gif

btw, how good is Sorority Row? its another remake. is it the same like Jeniffer?
*
Have not seen Sorority Row but it is a remake.
Since you mentioned Sorority Row, I recommend you to try the original 'Black Christmas'. (The one from the 70s)
It is about sorority sisters as well.
Some people said it was slow, but i think the pace is just right.
The suspense did build up nicely from the beginning to the end of the movie.
Not without its flaw since the killer seems to have quite a strength to achieve something that is quite impossible.

I did watch Black Christmas!  thumbup.gif

is Black Christmas and Stranger in The House same movie? its a great movie! sets in 1974, it was a benchmark for slasher movies, ie: Halloween, Friday the 13th, etc. what i like is the cinematography and the plotline. we dont get to see the killer but we get to see the whole picture from POV of the killer itself! for a movie that was made in 70s, it was brilliant. and theres Margot Kidder the heroine from Superman  laugh.gif . with the dark and creepy theme, brilliant original story line (which was being edited before the movie shooting due to its controversial script that year) i must say its a classic.
*
Yes, Black Christmas and Stranger in the House are the same movie.
Did not recognize Margot Kidder is the heroine from Superman.
You know she is quite outrageous in this movie, especially when she spell that 8 letters F word. LOL!

The Blob (1988)

The Puppet Masters (1994) [The one with Donald Sutherland and NOT the one with the anak patung!!?]
Village of the Damned (1960)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

The 1988 remake of The Blob freaked me out.
It squeeze itself in and out of everything everywhere.
laugh.gif

Did not watch Donald Sutherland's Puppet Monster.
But the one with puppets is not a good movie.
Speaking of Donald Sutherland, should try Don't Look Now.

Only watched the 1978 version of the Body Snatcher.
It started off slow but it is very good once the body snatchers started to take over the town.
And the ending.....ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

Yup, that's Battle Royale alright. I never liked the sequel, somehow, the feel of the movie for Battle Royale in the sequel isn't there like in the first film...actually, not too sure why they need a sequel for this film since the novel already ended just like in the first film. I read the manga, way too much porno.

No, i haven't watch the 1978's version of Piranhna. Regretfully, i watched the 1995's version of Piranhna. It was...horendously bad. But not as bad as watching "Biker Zombies".

Speaking of "animals" based horror, sorta, i like the 1990's Arahnophobia, starring Jeff Daniels, it's pretty good movie (IMBD gave it 6.2 out of 10). My first viewing, ironically, was in RTM Tv, then my second viewing was in Astro. I wish i gotten my hands on a DVD on this movie.

Also, if you like dogs, never forget the 1983's Stephen King's Cujo and 1993's Man's Best Friend.

I need to watch the 1990's Misery, starring Kathy Bates. I seen the trailers and a bit of talk from some top 100 horror movies in youtube, and i'm pretty interested to watch this. One of Kathy Bates' great films about obssessive fan trapping her favorite romance novel writer in her home. Pretty gripping stuff
*
U missed 'The Birds'

Speaking of 'Misery', this is so cool.


I actually just got my hands on the Bravo's 100 scariest moments.
Have not watched it yet though.

So, which Stephen King's book to movie adaptation you didn't go "meh"! laugh.gif

IT starts strong and ends 'meh' in my most recent watch.
The Stand starts strong and ends 'ok' in my vague memory.
Carrie is amazing everytime I watch.
Salem's Lot is scary when I was young.
The Green Mile is brilliant but not a horror film.
The Shining is OMG-Stanley-Kubrickingly good.
Misery is OMG....
I think I'll become more annoying if I keep going on....

sound like Llama, to be more accurate, LOL!

I never read his book.
But the movie adaptations from his book fall into a wide spectrum from good to bad.
I think his stuff can be very good if the direction, acting, dialogue and setting of the movie adaptation are strong.
Well, i suppose that it is not his fault if the movie based on his book turn out to be crappy.
