Re: Scariest films, ever let me start you off
My husband and daughter saw the original Japanese version of "The Ring" in Singapore and say it is far superior to the version with Naomi Watts in it.
I try to avoid watching horror films - but I did enjoy 'Misery' and was scared by the original 'Candyman'. No way would I ever watch the 'Exorcist' or those Freddie and Jason movies.
Actually one of the most disturbing and bizarre movies I've ever seen is David Lynch's 'Eraserhead', filmed in black and white and hardly any dialogue. We have it on DVD in a set with two other Lynch movies, 'Mulholland Drive' and 'Lost Highway'. Once you have seen 'Eraserhead' you will never forget it and won't know what the heck is really going on! ....scroll down and read the reviews here:

I can't recommend this movie to everyone, especially not those who expect their movies to be a fun escape with typical plots, cardboard Hollywood characters and happy endings. Even people with more eclectic tastes may hate this movie. Expect to be repulsed, frustrated and upset by this movie, if you want to watch it.
erm....I think I'll pass :scared:

Re: Scariest films, ever let me start you off
Wes Craven's "The Hills Have Eyes" was magnificently scary. The remake is due out this summer. BTW, I saw Hostel, pure shite, gives Americans and Europeans a bad name.
Apparently, Americans are foul mouthed, drug addicted, womanizing jerks, whilst Europeans are psycopaths that enjoy torturing helpless victims- Americans being their favorites.
That seems to be the basis for this otherwize unwatchable film.

There's nothing like that happening to you to make you never want to go into a dark room by yourself ever again! :scared:
