in your opinion........

I think the most over rated horror movie ever has got to be the Excorsist............people talk about this movie as if it is the be all end all of horror movies yet I don't think it's even the best of it's contemporaries. I think the Omen and The Amityville Horror are both better and either should be held in higher reguard than the Excorsist.

Brilliant minds think alike, I also believe teh exorcist to be over rated.

Some others are halloween, nosferatu, the ring, sixth sense, queen of the damned, and friday the 13th...

There are more, but those were the ones off the top of my head.

the ring

does anyone think queen of the damned is a horror movie? i hope not. i know it failed at the box offices and on video. john carpenters vampires is over rated. its just stupid. along with most modern of wes cravens movies

I wouldn't call Vampires over rated.....only because I've never heard anybody say that this movie was just excellent. I myself like the movie......but I don't think it's all that great. I think it's just a regular ol' mediocre modern vampire flick.............if anybody thinks it's more than that, I agree that they are over rating it.

i just always here people praising this movie as a great vampire movie. when in reality its not all that great. maybe its just on this end of the grape vine that i here it all the time. i know its another one of those movies like dusk till dawn. but i just here it all the tim john carpenters vampires. yeah man. for the record i do love dusk till dawn.

From Dusk 'till Dawn is indeed a great movie.............I was shocked when it first appeared in the horror aisle of my local video store. I don't think it's horror at all...I couldn't imagine anybody at all being scared by this.........I mean, if anything it's a parody of or atleast a tongue in cheek salute to the old 70s B movies.........still great movie.

from dusk till dawn deals with many of the same aspects and conflicts that are seen in the majority of horror movies, which is why its considered horror.

did u say that halloween is a overated movie?
is that a bad thing about it or good cause all i kno is that most (not all) of the halloween movies r good

yeah i said its over rated. I dont feel it deserves all the credit it gets.
It is good, but not great.

I hate Halloween: Resurrection badly.

First movie that comes to mind is The Sixth Sense. The second movie that comes to mind is The Exorcist.

1. I agree that Halloween is over rated............it is a damn good movie, the first one that is..........but people act like it was something truly ground breaking or original like Hellraiser or A Nightmare on Elm St.......what was so new about the concept of a crazy person killing people? Again.......I like the movie, just don't think it deserves the cult status it has attained. Same with Friday the 13th. I like alot of the movies..........just not anything worth telling your friends, "oh my god you've got to see this awesome movie".........

2. I disagree in part with the Sixth Sense. I think it deserved all the acclaim it recieved when it came out. They did a very good job on this movie. The bad thing is that the entire movie leads to a twist ending......once you've already seen the movie once it loses the same appeal because you already know the twist.

I think sixth sense is a tad over rated. For one simple reason, were it not for its ending, no one would have cared much about it. Any movie that relies on its ending to be good shouldnt be considered great.

Alright i get ur point on the Halloween movie but i realy dont care wut u say but any1 like the Stephen King movie IT?

exorsist, all of my frinds talk about it as it was Lord of The Rings or something, and Scream it aint even scary at all

well personally there are two movies that come to my mind as being way to overrated. The first is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre i was veyr disappointed. Aslo, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, the box show him cutting somenes throat, he doesn't do it in the movie, or I missed it. Both very disappointing.

I thought Friday the 13th was one of the more bloody movies that I've seen, but then I've been desensitized to violence over the years lol that's probably why those other movies weren't too scary to me.

IT was awesome lol.

Haha..........you bashed on Henry Portrait of a serial killer and TCM in one thread.........BF will love that.

Friday the 13th bloody? Not by a long shot..........havn't watched many horror movies have you. There's more blood in the first 15 minutes of any Hellraiser movie than there is in the entire Friday the 13th series combined..........there's more blood in one scene of Evil Dead when Ash is in the basement and the pipe breaks than there is in the entire Friday the 13th series combined, I could go on and on all day like this.

the movie was not at all over rated if ne thing it did not get the recponjistion that it deserved that is a great movie i luv it but a horror movie that iw ould have to say that got over rated was the ring and exocsit as u guys said i didnt find it scary or entertaing atr all and some of tese horror movies r becomeing action movie rather then horror films i think the new directors and writers of today should go look at the old times horror films and take nots cause evil tcm and creep show and night of the living dead i always consider those better then ne horror movie mad today

You neglect to acknowledge the fact that they are a couple of the most original and innovative horror films of all time. Whether you like them or not means nothing, they both ARE indeed important works that have really changed the way horror movies are made and looked at.

Backfire..........you must note this is coming from the guy who also says that the Friday the 13th movies are some of the bloodiest movies ever.........the only horror movies he's probably watched are Friday the 13th, Halloween, and A Nightmare on Elm Street..........his opinion means nothing in this forum. His name says it all........he's a Star Wars fan boy........not too many of those star trek/star wars sci-fi geeks are too big on horror movies...........

damn dudes u guys kno how to talk the talk unlike me i cant stick up ppl like that but that was a great come back Evil Dead

well neways those 3 movies r 3 of alot of boogiemen ive seen i love that Boogiemen movie has ne1 seen it i think at least one of u have got to of seen it it shows every1 and there profile its pretty cool

LMAO LL haha star wars geeks evil dead was the bloddst movie i have ever seen actully evil dead 2 was

i wanna see that movie too my friend has it i think, i might borrow it can some1 tellme wat its about?

ok the first movie is about a group of friends two guys and two girls go up to a cabin and they find a tape player and the book of the dead it is made from human skin they play the tape recorder and it says the words needed to say in order to bring bak the dead people get pocces and the only one that lives is Ash a funny ass badd ass kinda of guy really cool the second one is the best one he gets a killer chain saw and they r just great moives evil dead or pablo007 can tell u waht it is about better then me though

o thnx man next time i rent a movie i might rent it or see if my friend has it

yeah deffintly rent that and make sure u see the second one cause that is even better then the first i think some good shit in those movies and the speacul fetures behind the second one tells alot about it so rent the dvd version one

I don't excuse ignorance, no matter how blinding it may be.

2 guys (Ash and Scotty) and 3 girls.....(Cheryl, Linda, Shelly)

pointless but I'm bored so I figured I'd point that out.....

alright next time i go to rent a movie ill get Evil Dead 1 or 2 for dvd
