Best setting in a horror movie?

Personally for me to find a setting scary I need to be able to imagine myself being there, it needs to be a place that I think I could find myself in, so thus I'm always fond of suburban settings or city settings.

I liked the settings from Silent Hill. That's one of the reasons why I thought so highly of the film.

I loved the streets with ash falling everywhere in that film, wonderfully creepy.

Yeah they did a great job in silent hill of recreating the look of the games. I wasn't 100% approving of the story though but the atmosphere was nigh on perfect except for the hotel (I just didn't think it fitted)

I like the setting in abandoned towns and frozen wastelands.

anyone remember the subway from creep? It also had some kind of hospital in it pretty ****ed up, imagine a deformed freak tearing apart people with old rusty instruments while 5m beneath hundres of people going to work and worrying about the smell there. 😆

EDIT: I also found the Castle of Castlefreak REALLY Creepy

The setting for Creep was good, shame about the rest of the film, thought it was quite rubbish.

hm yeah but have you looked at the DVD extras? Theres a scene almost impossible to describe it it seems that the Creep is tearing through a human body or something and is stitching a teddy bear into a wound or something

There were no extras on the rental dvd I got, but I don't think it will add much to make me think again about Creep.

hm strange I had it rent and it was there, hm nevermind, but this scene was really something outstanding I never seen anything before I'll check Youtube if I find the scene I'll post the link here 🙂

Yeah a lot of my rentals here in Britain don't seem to have many extras apart from trailers and commentary. Will check out the video if you find it.

If you like Christopher Smith films(Creep) then he has a new one out soon in October called Triangle.

the Monroeville Mall from Dawn Of The Dead and of course
Camp NoBeBoSco from Friday The 13th.

Went to see this tonight...Odd film. Nice premise but no executed particularly well.

Anywhere which you'd think is safe and you'd have gone to in times of an emergency.
Although, one of my favourite places in a horror movie has to be on a boat in the middle of the ocean a la Jaws.

A prison could be good.

Can anybody recollect any horror movies set in prisons?

Alien 3

Malefique is one set in a prison

Gothika(well a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane)

Dante 09(Space prison, Sci-Fi/Horror)

Could probably find a lot of them during the 60s/70s prison exploitation films era, those silly Ilsa Nazi films for example.

Not a horror film.

I can't even find Dante 09 on the internet. Gothika was fairly disappointing, I'll check out Malefique.

Shutter Island looks promising for a prison/mental institution based horror/thriller.

Session 9 is outstanding for the same type of location.
