As far as the most realistic horror film you've ever seen, realistic deaths, realistic human nature, etc...

Final Destination/2, given someone could actually have that bad of luck, heh.

Agreed, as far as it being at that level of gruesome...

Although I thought you might of mentioned some of realistic driven deaths of Clive Barker's films...let's go a little deeper...

The torture at the end of Audution, that got me.

Well, maybe "In the Mouth of Madness", in the realm of insanity?

28 Days Later was very realistic and believable... Umm.... Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is incredibly real.

I think the most realistic and disturbing horror film I've seen is Irreversible. Everything in that movie is so real it's scary.

Well, the pain being expressed...cinemaddiction.

yeah id say barker has got my vote on brutality. The failed torture/murder scene in Rodero was damn gruesome and realistic

The new Dawn of the Dead film was going for strict realism as far as mainstream society and what some would do for self preservation and there were a few slip up's where the audience proclaimed that a person wouldn't do this or that, but for instance in the new Dead film during the opening when her boyfriend turns and she runs into the bathroom and falls backwards and crashes through the shower door that hit home because if any of you have felt adrenaline and are running in fear those kind of thing happens, your clumsy and hurt yourself, but move extremely fast and don't feel the pain during the moment...

irreversible is extemely realistic....it is very brutal and it shows people what the world is really like...truely horrifiing

Poo

Well obviosly the texas chainsaw massacre coz it actually happened.

no, it didn't! that was made up, the story is totaly fiction.

I can't decide. Toss up between Critters 4 and Troll. Both extremely realistic. I mean, who didn't have demon troll puppets living in a unit in their apartment complex? I believe everyone has.

If I had a penny for everytime someone had the nerve to actually say they thought that was real..lol.

28 days later + any film with knife killer.
Oh yeah, FACES OF DEATH

"Realistic deaths"
I don't know much about that, and what I do know, even the most realistically portrayed, is probably not that realistic, which is probably a good thing.

"Realistic human nature"
That probably would be "Lair of the White Worm."

Lord James D'Ampton (Hugh Grant)
The Brits I have watched the film with, say that is fairly realistic portrayal of a certain type of British lord, though the character is often exaggerated for comedic effect.

Mary Trent (Sammi Davis) "The worrier"
Her worries for her sister, Eve, seem fairly realistic, as does her response when she sees her mother, who has been missing for a year.

Peters (Stratford Johns) The butler"
As a typical long-time servitor of a mostly absentee lord. Peters knows who is the true lord of the manor, and it is not Lord James.

P. C. Erny (Paul Brooke) "The kowtower"
Typically servile, when confronted by an upper class lord or lady.

Gladwell (Gina McKee) "The nurse"
Confuses the snake antidote with the arthritis medicine. As if that has never happened before.

Kevin (Chris Pitt) "Toyboy"
The boy scout in the film, who when picked up by a beautiful well-to-do woman and taken to her home, is in seventh heaven, as he thinks she
wants him as her boy toy, at least for the night. But, when he discovers what she really wants from him, and it is not sex, it is too late.

I won't talk about the other characters in the film, Eve Trent (Catherine Oxenberg), Angus Flint (Peter Capaldi), Dorothy Trent (Imogen Claire), and Joe Trent (Christopher Gable), except for Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe), who is probably the most unrealistic character in the film. As if, there were a lot of immortals going around with vampiric tendencies, and who could sprout snake fangs.

I know less about 18th century France, then I do about 20th century England, but, "Brotherhood of the Wolf," always struck me as being fairly realistic. Maybe because it was shot in an area of France, where most of the buildings actually seem to date from the 18th century.

Heres something funny I was looking at the cover of irreversible and I kept trying to read the title but I couldnt figure it out I was stuck on it for minutes

yeh Childs Play totally reflects on realism....i remeber a couple of weeks ago a chucky doll chased me down my hall way late at night....then i kicked it...man that wuz a tough nite...i couldnt sleep for hours....then i had juice.....n fell asleep on my couch

I recently heard about a movie called "raw" that is supposed to be a documentary of a serial killer. The thing is there is a lot of specualtion that someone actually gets killed in it. I don't really know anything else about it, and I can't find anything on the internet, but it sounds pretty scary.

I agree. It was just about the only time in recent years that I averted my eyes from the screen and thought "Should I be watching this???"

Halloween. The movie is thought to be based on this man who went in peoples houses, waited till they were asleep and kill them when they just open their eyes. I think. I could be wrong. But yes I think Halloween could really happen except for the parts when people stab and shoot the killer ad he is still alive. That part I doubt is real.

I have already mentioned "Lair of the White Worm," but it would be negligent of me not to mention some other British horror films--"Dog Soldiers," "Shaun of the Dead," "Wicker Man,"--that are fairly realistic in their treatment of Britain and the British.

Wicker man was cool, slow but great payoff at the end. I would vouch with BF on the Irreversable, henry, also Last House on the Left.
