U need to check out those movies at the back of Blockbuster...the ones gathering dust with the words directed by Argento,Cronenberg,Coscarelli,Henenlotter etc on the covers.
Too mainstream?? Saw was made with a very tight budget, and found its niche, and then since it was break from the usual "Urrgghh Bigger slasher man chase pretty girl, uurrrr... stab, stab..." Which from previews of those other Susipira...??? WTF?? That was the stupidest crap I've ever seen!! 😠 I was just recommending some of MY favorite horror/scary movies, no need for you to comment on whether they are "too mainstream" or not ... I have good reasons why I like the movies I like... Do you ?? 😕

Im just stating my opinion that i find it hard to take critisizm for what is rightly regarded as one of the greatest horror pics of all time(by those who know their stuff - from Chas Balum,Kim Newman,Romero,Tobe Hooper,Barker etc) by people who rate such tripe as What Lies Beneath and the woeful Children Of The Corn to be superior movies to Suspiria.
Thats what this site is for
Debate
I didnt realise this was the lets all hold hands and be nice to each other club.
This is a Horror forum and what with the amount of sh!t being churned out in the name of horror nowadays there are going to be differances of opinion here....and thats what makes this section of KMC tick.
If i wanted nice id join the High School Musical Thread.
As for you Corn youre just a bit narked because i critisized your beloved COTC series which by and large is regarded as a joke in Horror circles much like my beloved SEASON OF THE WITCH.
Suspiria often comes in the top ten horror movies list in SERIOUS horror polls
This is quite probably the most bang on the money top 50s ive ever seen(ok maybe Candyman shouldnt be in there)
http://www.totalfilm.com/movie_news/the_50_greatest_horror_movies_of_all_time
and looky Suspirias at 3
and to quote your fave flick
"I spy, with my lttle eye, something that starts with C".
Carrie,Candyman and Curse of the Cat People
but no Children Of The Corn .
I apologize Corn for summing up your Horror Movie tastes with your love of COTC alone
I just clicked on your DVD collection link
You have a couple of good choices in there
They kind of sit uneasy alongside Jaws 3D,From Dusk til Dawn 2,Anacondas 2 -search for the blood orchid,Blair Witch Book Of Shadows and THE LEPRECHAUN series though.
What did u do..........enter a competition to win the lamest horror dvds ever?
Ill also apologize in advance to all other members who had to read these 2 msgs for goin on like a lil *****
Ill blame it on a hangover

Again this is only an OPINION. I couldn't even watch the whole thing!! The sheer stupidity of what was happening in front of me was slowly boiling my brain cells! Just because you say Saw is one of the worst, does not make it so! In fact one of my friends, (6'2", 220 lbs, country boy) could not handle the stuff that was happening in Saw, he was freaking out because of the stuff that was happening... I said well watch this here clip of a "real" scary movie I showed him some of this Susipira... He asked me where I got such a good comedy from! 😆

Well your 6'2" 220lbs country boy (YEE HAW!!!) and yourself should stick to Shaymalan flicks
I didn't say anything about a Shaymalan film in my last post. Now, here's a question what does a horror movie have to have in it for it to be classified as "horror"? Anybody...?
How long you got ??
I dunno what your country boys size n weight has to do with rating a horror movies scare/gross out factor
But sticking with this my GF is a 5'2",7 stone Sex and The City fan(who incidently classes the orig TCM as her fave Horror flick)who thought Saw was a bunch of crap so that kind of makes your good ole country boy a wuss then i guess.

That's exactly my point! Saw creeped him out worse than any other horror movie he's ever seen! The guy's hunted freakin bears and shit before, not many things scare him. But he seriously couldn't handle the dude cutting his foot off! I thought... The dude has skinned deer, squirrels, rabbits, and any other number large game, and he couldn't handle a guy cutting his own foot off. Which I could handle, I have to say that I did squirm a bit while it was happening... But I couldn't help but laugh at clips from these other movies!! They were hilarious!! 😂 😆 🤣
Ok well have to differ over Suspiria
I suggest you let your buddy check this out
it was found by a member on here named Deano
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4miegtrqj4
id like to hear what he thinks of this seeing as he was freaked by the foot hack scene in Saw
Okay well to me personally most everything, with the exception of maybe two or three scenes looked so fake that some middle schoolers could have made the stuff look better than that! Your kidding me right? What was so bad about any of that? The blood looked like ketchup... Ooooo... that's realisitic, most of the time it makes it worse when DON'T you see the actual stab or cut or hack or whatever, and ... the cannibal scenes! Give me a break! You know I think the worse part of the Doctor cutting HIS OWN foot off was the fact that he was doing it to himself. In most of those clips the people are being affected by someone else. There were a few where it looked like they were hurting themselves. I thought most of it was quite humorous and I enjoyed it, but not in the way of it scaring me. I enjoyed being scared, but most of that was so fake and so noticeably fake that it made me laugh! So thanks for the laughs!

To me it is... I literally laughed at the clip solo linked... I was laughing out loud!! I loved it!! It was sooooo funny! Oh my god... You know what lets change it to italian comedy with some ketchup ... uh I mean "blood" throw in! Okay so that's kind of long... Let's just go with italian 98.5% comedy/ 1.5% horror! 😆

Listen here you little girl, my dvd is MY dvd collection and it's what I like.
I don't like Suspiria and Inferno and most of Argento's so called horror.
The reason I have them movies you mentioned is because they are part of a collection. I notice how you never mentioned the Childs Play series, you must rate them movies? Well they are pretty gay too and I own them so do you want to have a go about them aswell?You don't act like a little *****, it's obvious you are a little *****.

I agree with you deathbycorn! What so great about these Argento films? I just don't get it... Sorry... my horror has to be somewhat realistic, such as Scream, which rated pretty good on that "top 50" list... I mean it was long after we got the Columbine thing. People go psycho in school and it wouldn't be terribly hard for two guys to team up and start taking out classmates... That's what's truly scary! Now, the old guy from Saw taking people down ... well that was kind of odd I have to admit, but still you have to think about from the people that were being taken. You have this selfish little brat, probably very insecure about himself, and you have him sitting in his apartment, gets up, lights aren't working.. uh oh... Then most of the time, yeah some big dumb guy would come out and hack him to pieces, wow... I didn't see THAT coming ... NO! Instead bam, a guy knocks him out, drugs him and this other guy fixes them up in a trap... How freakin brilliant is that?! Jigsaw was not even aware of what was going on! He knew how his little game would work, thats how much about the human condition this guy was in sync with! He didn't have to rely on anything other than knowing his two victims inside and out. He'd observed them, picked out their weaknesses... What other "killer" in a horror movie does that? None of them that I've seen! He gives these people a chance to live... "How much blood are you willing to shed to stay alive?" Brilliant I say!
