anyone scared of Jaws?

.......... unlike the original Halloween, John Carpenter's classic from the late-1970s. I still find it very uncomfortable to watch - it's a brilliant piece of directing. :scaredhair:

The real mystery though is how Carpenter descended to the abysmal level of some of the garbage he produced later.

The Fly with Jeff Goldblum is one that really disturbed me. If some kind of teleportation ever became viable I don't I'd ever be able to do it. Brundlefly - eek!

The Fly is a great film in lots of ways - did anyone else find it curiously moving, or am I just a bit weird?

yes Halloween was a bit scary as well, I can't bring myself to watch any more of this JAWS though and the child has a cushion over her head :rofl: Remember Evil Dead? didn't manage to watch that to the end.

Never really thought of Jaws as that scary TBH - love the film though.

If shark type things scare you - thought Open Water was very tense...

Evil Dead 1 & 2 are classics... ED1 is not so nice, ED2 is hilarious....

Not a big fan of the splatter gore of SAW, Hostel etc...

Funny Games and Kill List are very creepy. The Swedish Let The Right One in is fantastic.

Wolf Creek is very scary...

Film that scared me most recently - The Strangers:-

Is Open Water the one with the two people who are left behind by a dive boat? If so, I thought it so dull I kept hoping they'd be eaten. It was an hour too long...

Wasn't there a 'sequel'? Odd concept.

Frankenstein Experiment isn't exactly happy viewing either.

But, oddly, 'What lies beneath' made me think a lot more.
