thanks for the recommendation although i didn't find this particularly creepy or disturbing...the premise was good but the execution was poor
it had it's moments though...like the bit with hank going to recover the coins and other stuff from the oven
the building itself is a tremendous setting though

The Grudge? The bootleg version of "The Ring"? lol.I'm sorry but in my opinion that's the worst horror movie i've ever seen in my life, and i'm a horror movie buff. There wasn't even any blood in it. Not a drop.
And good horror without blood is like a porn flik w/o sex.
But to answer your question, i don't think there's a #1 scariest movie. There a many #1 scariest movies though.
For example, the movie i'm watching is one of the scariest movies of all time. And that movie is 1985's "The Night of the Living Dead"
I think it's the best and scariest movie with the best score out of the entire saga and definitely scarier than 80% - 90% of all zombie movies that ever came out.
My take.
Night of The Living Dead was made in 1968...not 85.
There have been plenty of horror movies without blood in them. Just because they arent slasher or zombie films doesnt mean they arent horror.

Take the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for example, almost every violent act in that movie takes places behind closed doors and the audience doesn't get to see it. Yet, it's one of the best horror movies ever made.
Good horror movies shouldn't have to rely on blood/gore to make them scary.
Originally posted by FistOfThe NorthBlood is not always required for horror. TCm and Halloween were proof of that. Blood is more in line because of the torture porn generations take on horror.

there was also a film when i was very young that had an effect on me...cant remember the name but it was about vampires and someone who had been bitten went to their friends house and was floating at their window while knocking on it...that always freaked me out
Salem's Lot

Like Freeman said, you can get amazing horror films without lots of blood or any blood... stupid to think only gore makes a good horror film.
Night of The Living Dead was made in 1968...not 85.
There was a remake that came out then.
torture porn generations take on horror.
I wish people would stop using that crap term, Torture Porn, I despise it.
So much as thinking about the spider scene in The Beyond still makes my skin crawl, and I'm not afraid of spiders, per se.
That's just typical Fulci. "Why don't...wait, wait, I've got it. Why don't we....ready? Have spiders...stay with me...EAT his face...a-and then, bite out his eye and a bit of his tongue?", "Were you loved as a child?".

jaden101, did you get the film? Did it make sense to you?
Spoiler:That is what makes it so scary IMO. The fact that it has happened before and will happen again. It's pure evil.
Did you realize that Gordon had killed his wife and child?
Another two films that I think are truly scary and disturbing are Inside and May.

i put the pieces together after hearing the last voice on the tapes with it being the same as the voice Gordon hears at the start...it wasn't exactly complex
i just thought the setting itself would've lent itself to something far more potent than what was delivered
I saw Nightmare City a few years back. And it gave me a genuine sense a creepiness. I was looking out the window and everything.
Demons freaked me out because of the sheer in your face violent nature of the infected.
Both similar films. I think the best horror films are the ones that are shot in such a way that you are amongst the survivors. Not 1st person but enough to fell you're there.
And for those characters to go through a situation where suicide may be a resonable decision rather than face the threat.
Because facing the threat alive can result in a fate worse than death.
City of the Living Dead also had a creepy looming scary threat. Fulci rules.
