Answer 1

Hey

If you enjoyed Martyrs then i suggest you check out some more French Extreme Wave...they are not conventional horror but the tone and atmosphere make them scarier than any monster movie could ever be, such as

- À l'intérieur ( Inside ) by Alexandre Bustillo

- High Tension otherwise known as Switchblade Romance by Alexandre Aja

- Irreversible by Gasper Noe (not so much horror but very dark and amazing cinematography and still scared the **** out of me)

- Frontier(s) by Xavier Gens

- Calvaire by Fabrice Du Welz

hmm i know there's more than that but can't quite bring them to mind i seem to remember seeing a very strange film about cannibalism but the title escapes me now.



Now onto the next list

Modern Horror

- Orphan ( modern take on the old evil child tale done incredibly well)

- The Signal

- House of 1000 corpses and Devils Rejects by Rob Zombie

- The Tripper (Acid soaked slasher film, cliche but a bit of fun)





Surreal Horror

- Eraserhead by David Lynch...and try find his earlier short films and college days work

- Santa Sangre by Alexandre Jodorowsky (my suggestion is to roll a nice big j and sit back, but go in with an open mind, i found this movie poetic and haunting and beautiful and scary and wonderful all rolled into one)

- Begotten by E. Elias Merhige (need a lot of patience for this art/horror but great nonetheless)

- Eyes Without a Face by Georges Franju

also try some films by Jan Svankmajer..he makes creepy visceral stop motion films..not exactly horror but they get under your skin



B- Grade

- Suspiria by Dario Argento (the score and imagery really make this film something special)

- Re Animator by HP Lovecraft (one of my all time favorites its cheesy, funny and still manages to drop a few scares in there)



that should do for now..i know i've probably missed some super important films but my dvd collection is currently sitting in storage and my memory isn't what it use to be.

i hope these are to your liking..enjoy, let us know how they go

peace

Answer 2

I love the best is the original one, Scary Movie 1... It's so funny as hell... But the worst would absolutely be Scary Movie 3, the movie was 1 hour 20 minutes but then I felt so soon that it's just like 40 minutes of filming...

Answer 3

the shining remains to this day the scariest film I've ever seen. Iy just plays on your mind. A lot of the scenes just have no music and there's an eerie silence as a boy travels along a corridor on his tricycle.. Watch it! I'm reading it now, sh****** myself :o



that's all I can think of because you listed some good scary movies aswell. Oh and eraserhead, it's a very surreal horror movie, it's black and white, but watch it alone in the dark, very strange! Carrie is a classic and scary film



have fun hombre :)

Answer 4

There is a great haunted house movie with George C Scott called " The Changeling" not at all related to the Angelina jolie movie that just came out. I would encourage you to check that out if you like a really scary haunted house movie. Stephen Kings IT is a great one as well and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.

Answer 5

All of the Friday 13ths are legends! Try that. Or check out some On Demand horror movies. They're guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Answer 6

Awesome, you didn't list my #1 favorite horror.



Which is: "The Thing" (1982). Go see it. It scared the crap out of me when I was a teen. Even if it doesn't scare you, you'll still admit it's pretty freaky, and you'll be impressed by the story.

Answer 7

I don't see Psycho there, you may enjoy that one... very scary in it's day. There are a few others too on the following website: http://www.black-and-white-movies.com/psycho.html Check out the horror section.

Answer 8

Either the Orphan or the Orphanage, although the Orphanage is more suspense. Cant go wrong with both of 'em.

Answer 9

The Fred movie. I'm serious.

Answer 10

its this old movie called they (not it) and it has the directors name in front of it like blah blah's:they

Answer 11

it the clown.
