    Ive heard alot about REC, is it worth buying?
    REC is certainly my favourite horror films released in recent years.

    Simply due to the fact it relies on good ol' fashioned scares, as opposed to more standard blood and gore.

    When I put up a review of it on here, I watched it until 2am in the morning and I'm not ashamed to say I was very uneasy in a top-floor apartment.

    I really recommend it..

    Hell I watched it at 8 in the evening in a bungalow and felt uneasy afterward.

    in the last couple of years nothing comes close to [REC] although Them was pretty good. Im literally just this minute finished watching The Descent too, although it frittered out towards the end it certainly had a fair bit of tension in there.

    Event horizon was the later version of The Dark Side of the Moon. Which scared the crap out of me when I was a kid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭PaulByrne'sBald


    When i first saw The Omen, aged 8, at Christmas it scared the ****e outta me... Honourable metion to Event Horizon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭KevArno


    Have to say I give my vote to The Changeling (1980), granted I havent seen it since I was a kid but there is a wheelchair scene that has stuck with me ever since, I remember flat out bricking myself, cold sweats and all! Creepy stuff... Following that up tho would be another vote for Event Horizon. Anybody that can sit throught Event Horizon without scanning the room at least once for some sort of freaky activity has no soul!!! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,977 ✭✭✭johnny_adidas


    Event horizon here also (prob why dead space (game) scares the brown stuff out of me also)
    Must check out REC, never even heard of it.
    Few scenes in wolf creek had me seriously worried for my backpacking brother.

    most disgusted was hills have eyes, for some reason i freaked out at the rape scene saying how could anyone find that entertaining or even scary cos someone had told my OH it was a deadly film, f-fwded past that section and watched the rest of the film. :)

    Saw 6 was awesome in the cinema, wasn't scary, but it was gory as fckk, should pop in to see it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 659 ✭✭✭CorkFenian


    Has to be Don't Look Now..For me it has everything....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭KevArno


    Yeah the opening scene in The Hills Have Eyes 2 was as bad, mutant child birth, breaking fingernails, horrific screaming, all a bit gratuitous...saw people leaving the screen after 10-15 mins of that one, rubbish film too.

    I'm not one to get easily sacred by a movie, but REC was one that had me on edge while wathing.

    IT also freaked the hell outta me when i was younger.

    When i was a young lad, i needed to change my pants after watching Ghostbusters! But i can watch it comfortably now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,374 ✭✭✭InReality


    Agree with all those.

    Event horizion - yeap.

    1408 - really freaked me out , although the mates I was watching it with weren't too affected.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭coley


    +1 for [REC]
    and event horizon - always liked this even though many dismiss it.

    No mention of Audition yet...

    the exorcist, even though i laugh at it while watching, but then cant go asleep for ages!
    the ring, still really scares me when shes crawling out of the tv :eek:
    saw, just because its so gorey and realistic you keep thinking it could happen
    halloween-the 1st one and the rob zombie remake!
    amityville horror, quite cool but plays on your mind!

    Yes, that is one scary movie, gives me the shivers just thinking about it, no gore, just pure haunting direction.

    I never understood that movie. I was really excited to see it as I'd heard so much about it. Watched it and didnt feel even slghtly scared once. And I'm not someone who is afraid to admit when a movie is scary, plenty of movies are.

    Dont Look Now just didnt do anything for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39 Podginho


    Event horizon for me,, many sleepless nights

    Seems funny now, but the blob when I was about 8 and Candyman when I was 11, couldn't look into a mirror for 2 years after Candyman and mu mind used to start saying Candyman, Candyman, Candyman, Candyman...freaked me the fuk out!!

    IT and The Fly, they just freaked me out so much. The Mist is another film, the only film I felt like doing a Charleston Heston "You maniacs!" at the end of it.

    Have to say Eden Lake was one of the scariest for me

    Just watched Eden Lake, I feel sick after it! Very, very disturbing indeed. Highly recommended but not for the faint hearted. Horror films rarely scare me but it will take me a while to get over my fear of hooded youths after this:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 289 ✭✭cmpunk


    the exorcist that is a good funny film


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    When I was younger, it was definitely IT. Remember watching it at slumber parties absolutely terrified.

    As an adult (well, about 18), I think the original version of The Ring (Ringu?) was the most frightening for me, mainly because of the circumstances I was in while watching it though! It was after a house party and someone put it on at like 3 in the morning. Everyone else fell asleep within ten minutes and I had to watch the whole thing by myself in the dark :( Was too scared to try and find the remote or to go near the tv to turn it off :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Never really been scared by any films apart from stuff as kid.
    I collect really crazy extreme films have tons
    I could make a big list here but ill name 3 if anyone wants see some really weird ****ing crazy films that will probley scare lot people on here and freak u out lol

    Check out August Undergrounds Mordum , Cannibal Holocaust and Martyrs.

    Saw from dusk till dawn back when i was pre teens, and it scared the living shi* out of me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭cabrwab


    It, salems lot, event horizon, alien all good horrors in my eyes.

    Ringu scared the bejesus out of me, watching it in vhs and next thing it all stopped the tv went to snow really loud i sat there numb for about a minute!
    I liked the tension in the american remake there was something i just enjoyed about it thought it was good.

    Rec did nothing for me i was really disappointed with it.

    The fog scared me good when i was a kid still love it.

    I made my brother watch IT when i was a kid, 2 weeks later we went to the circus clown came over to give him a balloon he was under the seat screaming he's going to eat me!

    Grudge is good too.

    The Thing. Seen it as a kid and watched it the other night. Still scary. Espcially the head growing legs to escape scene.





    Oh.......and Gigli with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez but for entirely different reasons :D

    Im a huge scary film fan, but in the last few years I havent been able to find a film that scared me enough. The last thing that kept me up at night with the lights on was the 6th Sense. And after the Blair With project I was sketchy walking through the woods for about a month!

    Scary films now are all about gore and monsters. They pay too much attention to special effects and make up, and I love all that but its just not scary anymore. The good aul psychotic crazy mindf*ck is what Im after, they just dont make them like they used to. (The original Haunting! "you're squeezing my and too tight"..."im not holding you're hand..." BRILLIANT!)

    I really want to find a film that's gonna give me nightmares and have checking under my bed. I love a good scare but I've hit a dead end! Any suggestions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,707 ✭✭✭MikeC101


    Have a look through this, lots of suggestions:

    Scariest film u have ever seen?

    I'm a bit fed up with the "crank up the volume and make you jump" or "flash cut to things" approach that too many recent films have been taking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,264 ✭✭✭✭Alicat


    Yeah Blair Witch scared the crap outa me. Saw it twice when it came out and I haven't seen it again since. No reason why, just never came across it really. It was on the tv about a month ago and I recorded it but haven't come up with the courage to watch it yet :o I know it's probably not as bad as I think but I'm too scared to watch it by myself!

    Was talking about it to my manager in work a while ago and she said "Yeah it was alright, but I didn't really get it, the ending just sort of petered out."

    Me: "Really? You didn't find it creepy at all?
    With your man facing the corner?
    "

    Her: "No, I mean what was all that about?! I didn't get it."

    Me: "Eh kinda crucial!
    When your one comes down the stairs and sees Mikey facing the corner? Just like in the story where the witch used to make one child face the corner while she killed the other?

    I swear to God, she paused, thought about it for about 3 seconds, her eyes widened looking at me and she actually screamed out loud and took a step back :pac: Talk about a delayed reaction, a decade later :pac:

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    The Entity....very scary and disturbing, also Poltergeist.....when the hand comes outta the tv!!
    That poor girl died, Crohn's Disease....i have that myself, bless her soul :-(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭cashback


    Not very original answer maybe, but The Ring (Japanese version) freaked me out.
