Hi

You have to understand that I'm really old school so you might not agree with my selection.

A good movie for me is usually more of the unusual and offbeat side.

Here is my list

From Hell 2001
Johnny Depp in another dark tale. Interesting how he started his career in Nightmare on Elm Street! A modern take on Jack the Ripper. This movie is really suspenseful and tense.

From Dusk Till Dawn 1996
This is actually two movies, first part VERY Quentin Tarantino and the second Robert Rodriguez. Really unusual movie, very hard to define

Thir13en Ghosts 2001
Robert Zemecski and Joe Silver, reintroduce old horror movie in new light. They were suppose to make one every year but had stop after Gothika... Like the little stories they created for each ghost. Interesting spin on what true horror is.

very old school huh.. the 'oldest' (and the best maybe, i didnt watch much scary movies) i ever watched are It (1990) (Stephen King stuff).. i watched it during my primary school days. that clown ghost scared me very much back then

in my younger days, i like Twilight Zone.. i believe they re-make this series in early 2000 (but i didnt bother to watch it)

ill give try to your recommendations.. thanks..

hi guys, didnt notice a horror movie thread.myself am a sucker for horror / gore /zombie movies.
just finished watching Hard Ride to Hell last nite. and Burial Ground(an early 80's italian zombie movie) few days back.

The Gates (2010)

Okay guys, an update about the new TV series, The Gates, I'm into episode 3 now, and NOTHING is happening.

A lot of implied situations, and NOTHING concrete...

Will give episode 4 a go, and if NOTHING happens again, will drop it like a hot potato!!

Haven (2010)

Ah, Mr Stephen King

He had cornered the market for horror in printed form, now he is going to take over the cinema and tv market as well...

He is the Bill Gates of Horror!!

His latest venture (at least to my knowledge) is this TV Series called Haven

Watched episode 1 yesterday, and it is interesting

Out of town F.B.I. agent Audrey Parker (played by Emily Rose) comes to Haven and encounters mysterious happenings... with the help from local law enforcement Nathan Wournos (what a NAME and I FEEL NO PAIN played by Lucas Bryant) and also a local riff raff Duke Crocker (played by Eric Balfour), she solves the mysterious happenings!! If they threw in a great Dane and another chick, this would be Stephen King's version of Scooby Doo!!!!

Interesting enough to make me watch episode 2, at least THINGS HAPPEN!!

Just watched The Crazies. Wicked!

Eh...even for oldskool people, From Hell and Thirteen Ghosts is not nice. Especially Thirteen Ghost which is badly produced and directed. The concept and idea was good but the execution especially the ghosts were badly done. Very one dimensional.

For old school horror, Exorcist is still the best. Especially watch the director's cut. Totally scary even when I watch it years later. It is a movie that can withstand the test of time. There are a few others like American Werewolf, Fright Night, Salem's Lot, Zombies movies (day of the deads, dawn of the deads and so on)...Now that's old skool. More recent ones would be those mostly from Asia. They seems to be taking over Hollywood in producing better horror movies like The Eye (HK), Shutter (TH), Ju-On (JP), Ringu (JP). Oh I am also reminded of a very underrated movie called Silk 2006 (TW). But this movie is more like sci-fi than horror. Still a very good refreshing movie of the sub horror genre.

exorcist series

The Crazies (2010)

A remake apparently

I'm sad to say I have not watched the original, and have to add the remake is actually very good.

Interesting spin on the zombie genre

Have been a fan of Timothy Olyphant since I've watched Dreamcatcher (which I like and have been criticise for liking!!)

To each their own, that's what I say

Fan of horror, I recommend this.

I'll hold two thumbs up, if it wasn't for the stupid electrical saw incident...

Yes, de4thscythell, it is good (if that's what you mean by wicked!! I'm old and can hardly keep up with you youngun's spin on language... )

thank veryqq

LOL. Yup. I mean good It's been a while since I last watched a horror movie. Very refreshing

the crazies is best
but the movie pening a lil bit. hoho

i find it to be quite predictable

28 weeks later is lot better

Try 'Pontypool'.
It is quite interesting.
English is infected!

Yeah! Watched that!

Case 39 (2009)

This movie was heavily criticized when it first came out.

It is VERY heavily influence by Japanese horror (storyline wise)

Jodelle Ferland plays Lilith Sullivan (aptly named if you understand the origins of the name Lilith). An abused child of Edward Sullivan (played by Callum Keith Rennie) and Kerry O'Malley (played by Margaret Sullivan)

Renée Zellweger is a social worker who ended up with 39th case (get, GET IT!! ) and Bradley Cooper plays a child psychologist (very UNDER USED character).

What I would praise about this movie is the work of Hagen Bogdanski (Cinematography) who with very clever camera work plays up Lilith Sullivan angel and demon act (children has very interesting proportions [eg. big head long limbs])

A passable horror movie if you have nothing better to do

Martyrs - 2008

This has a bit of everything in it. Horror, slasher, and disturbing violence. Its not your typical ultra violent films tho, it has some substance to it. The film is well crafted and acted. Its a french film depicting a story of a young woman seeking revenge after getting kidnapped and brutalized. While it sounds a little a cliche, the story takes you on one of the most surreal horror ride you can possibly imagine - well at least it did for me. A must see if you a horror fan.

Case 39

dont like it. ive a huge expectation after i watched the trailer (all movies does)

totally agree with Japanese influence.

i believe they started really well (until the main protagonist adopt the problematic girl). after that, its going downhill.

3/10 from me..

Martyr , Case 39... sounds good! Might check it out

Thanks for the info!
