Horror Genre

LoLth

What Horror film would you recommend. Now, I'm not talking about 'splatter fests' or Horror-comedy, but rather films that either make you jump (when you least expect it) or leave you checking behind doors and switching on lights for weeks afterward.

For a start I'd recommend,

Phantoms.
The dark half (a king film that's actually Good!!)
Alien

Its been mentioned on the board before
but
Event Horison

and "Dead Calm" Frightened the Living K-Rap outta me and maybe "Seven" for gore (Remember the prostitute)

I wouldnt say that Event Horizon is the sort of film that would make you jump that often , though there are parts where it might, its more a disturbing sort of film.

Seven isnt gory at all, nearly everything is implied and/or psychological. Compared to the amout of blood thrown around Event Horizon its ye olde walk in the parke.

Sorry to drag this up again..

Seven wasn't that gorey. It was the implied violence that made it so bad. A persons imagination can do a lot more than a camera (assuming of course the person had read/seen/ heard some twisted things). Seven has to be a classic, just for the skill of it.

"Compared to the amout of blood thrown around Event Horizon its ye olde walk in the parke. "

hmmm, Gorkey Park?

Try the Believers, with Martin Sheen. Long time since I saw it but I remember thinking it was a good voodoo chiller.
To this day I think Exorcist 3 contains the jumpiest scen I've ever seen (scene that makes you jump the most). That bit with the long shot of the hallway as the nurse checks the rooms. Watch it and hit the ceiling.

I'm not really into horrors yself, but if you want a great laugh, watch the Evil Dead Trilogy, they are blatantly hilarious
