cool! couple'a event horizon fans. that was actually the last horror movie i saw actually. yes it was that long ago. its actually pretty decent but it just came out at a time when there was a dearth of sci fi/horror films at the time. really like the idea that crossing dimension was a way to hell. kinda like that old school black hole movie. the bit were the baddie was trapped in the robots body? creepy.
I have a similar story from when I was 12, and mum had gotten me out a video I didn't want to see. We're driving home, and I ask, "Is it The Man Who Fell To Earth X, or is the X a rating?" "What?" *flip the case over* "...some of the most sexually explicit scenes to pass the British censorship board... gee mum, thanks, you've just hired me my first porno." Was a fun night at home that night. Never let her live it down.
What movie was the one where the robot rapes the woman? Thats was scary...its why I hate robots. Also there was one with A ventriloquists dummy that came to life...*shudders* Event Horizon FTW! I'm feeling the love for that movie!
The last movie I watched that scared me was Darkness Falls. Ghost related horror filsm scare me more them the gore stuff. That's just grose and really not that intertaining.
Never been really scared by movies, but I find the "Saw" and the newer "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" movies to be somewhat disturbing.
Same here.. There is a zombie movie (Zombie I believe) where a large chunk of wood is slowly shoved into an eyeball. I can't watch that part. Anything graphically going into an eye creeps me out. Nothing scares me. I more or less snicker at it.
Agreed, and like you a fellow horror junkie, its hard to accomplish that unless the atmosphere is just right.
Compared to todays films, most of the F13 films are PG as far as the gore levels go, check out Saw 3 for example during the skull/brain surgery scene, not scary but hard to watch even for me.
QFT, I"m 26 and find that very much to be true, the horror movies these days are about as predictable and formulatic as possible, and with all the remakes that seem to be so abundant, its really hard to be suprised when you've already seen the movie before and the only diffrence between the original and remake is the original had better acting and less gore and was more interesting to watch.
Zombie aka Zombi 2 is the correct movie. Many movies directed by Lucio Fulci have some kind of eye trauma going on. I guess it's just his thing.
The last movie I remember being scared by was the first Candyman. I had to work up quite a bit of nerve to say his name 5 times in the mirror after that. Of course, the real Cabrini Green was just as scary. -Tony!
IMO, recent horro films have been getting to much gore IMO, I actually at first didnt want to see "The beggining" because I tohught it would veere off of the plot and through some random slashings and pointless face slappers. But it showed how his father became whyyot and it also shed some light on how he had been so familiar with the use of a chinsaw and being abble to skin somthing withought screwing it to peices. All in all, it was deffinantley worth the DVD. Some good extras. Still think "HeadCheese" was a better name
