No offense to you guys but a lot of your movies are kinda lame by today's standards
Some of the one's that kinda scared me and that i'd recommend were the japanese Ringu coz the well scene was so much scarier and it also had other freaky scenes not seen in The Ring plus its just an overall good movie.
Ring 0 Birthday was kind of boring most of the way through but one of the last scenes in that movie with Sadako walking down that hallway just freaked me out and that scene sticks in my mind and even got me freaked when i watched it the next day in broad daylight with people in the room. Chack out my avator for a pic from the movie
Juon is also a Japanese movie that's scary there are a few genuinely freaky moments that will have you looking around the room to make sure that your alone and theres nothing on the ceiling or in the bed
Also the Korean movie Tale of two sisters has some scary bits in it especially at the end. No spoilers here though you gotta see the movie to find out
And yes i know all of these movies are foreign and it can sometimes be a pain to read subtitles but hey you gotta admit asians make the scariest films
I don't think Scream is really a horror movie, I think its more of a comedy. I have the dvd trilogy with special bonus features dvd and i've watched all 3 of them about a million times. I can't recommend any movies cuz it seems that I can never pick out the good ones at the movie store so I made a list out of what you guys have posted so now i have some idea what to look for!! so thank you!
Originally posted by ShmooYou're right, Scream isn't horror, but it isn't comedy, either. Wes Craven himself said it was a thriller ( don't really know what the difference between thriller and horror is, but o well)

Aah no! Gothika had it's moments, but it nowhere near lived out it's expectations. Cleary another failed atempt by darkcastle to 're-envoke' the genre of horror, as they so baldly describe their quest in Hollywood.
And not to mention Darkness Falls, oooh shit that was one humongous load of crap! There are whole treads here devoted on cursing that movie straight to hell.
For the better scares go back to the 80'ies classicks, as NOES, the Dead series, the Exorcist. Hellraiser has great style, just as Evil Dead and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Really scary movies are very rare nonetheless, and I can only remember being truly scared by movies such as Jaws at a young age.
