I think Godzilla is more of A Sci-Fi/Action.

You recommended The Messengers?! that was such a let down, especially from the directors who brought us The Eye!

Of course im talking about the originals only **** any remakes.

Been out of the "scene" for awhile, any recommendations?

Hey folks, I've been busy with school and stuff over the last few years, and honestly I have not bothered watching alot of movies, all I've seen is a couple series. and to be honest I've not seen a proper horror movie for years.

So this other day I just got this urge to see some good horror movies.

But I don't know which once to watch, and im not about to do as I used to back 5 years ago or so, back then I just watched any horror film I could lay my hands on and just hoped it was good, I don't have time for that anymore.

So I am going to ask the proper folks in the KMC horror division for some recommendations 🙂

I would like to point out that I do not want any japanese horror movies, it just dosen't do it for me imafraid.

Anything else is very much appriciated, I like anything from sci-fi horror to good ol slashers 🙂

So name me some nice horror movies that have come out over the last 2-3 years 😄

P.S It's nice to see your still running these horror boards with passion BF! 😉

The Descent

[REC]

Them/Ils

The Orphanage

Haute Tension

Inside - French horror

Martyrs - Don't know when it is out, but it has been given the highest rating possible in France(18+)
That is apparently like an NC-17 in America.

It might be to do with scenes of torture involving a child, read that somewhere.

Things like Irreversible got a lower rating of 16! So 16+ could see it in cinemas. So keep an eye out for release dates.

According to the filmmakers the violence in the film is no worse than in a lot of 16+ films that come out in France.

It's suppose to be good. There are some teaser trailers out at the moment but they don't give much away.

Okay?

Yeah, that's pretty much everything.

I'd also say Funny Games. I know a lot of people, MP included, didn't like it. But I thought it was very strong and quite disturbing.

Also, for a more extreme experience, the August Underground films are worth a look.

Have you seen the original BackFire?

I think instead of giving the credit to the remake, people should watch the original first if you haven't seen the original. If you've seen the remake and want to see the original then you don't get the same effect, especially the

Spoiler:
rewind with the remote
scene, first time I saw that in the original it made me really really angry that the villains could do that lol. Think the original deserves to have that effect instead of the remake.

Are they actually any different? I've heard that they're identical outside of the actors and the language. And from what I understand the acting is better in the remake.

I'm going to see the original, though. I had them both on my netflix queue, but for some reason they sent the remake before the original.

Either way, I thought the American version was very strong, coming from someone who has not seen the original. I thought it was very powerful and eerie.

Yeah it was more or less shot for shot.

I found the acting was mediocre from all the actors who played the family in the remake compared to the original.

Michael Pitt and his partner(forgotten his name in reality) were good though, but still found the two actors in the original more disturbing, it helped that I had never come across the actors before Funny Games.

Moved to the Most "Recommended horror movies" thread. 🙂

I like these threads where we can just come and say names of our most favorite horror movies with no particular reason. I know i always try to out do everyone else's lists. sometimes i feel as though i have succeeded but then some monkey sneaks a title past me that i forgot about.

I think if you are trying to get back into horror. You should watch, the Day of the Dead remake. If you do this you are guaranteed to enjoy the next horror movie you watch, unless of course it is darkness falls. I like to start with shit and work my way to gold. Gold always looks better after staring at shit for a few hours.

what horror films do you recommend to watch ?

i enjoy the saw films and friday the 13th what other films would u recommend ?

out on dvd is ok but i'd prefer blu ray .

Just look around the horror board, there are lots of recommendation topics and topics on horror films.

Try Haute Tension/Switchblade Romance if you have not seen it yet.

Angel Heart
