Are These The 50 Greatest Horror Films

I like 28 days later

wickerman was counted as a horror, it is creepy and weird but not scary, dont hold much faith for the remake.

I don't know why Don't Look Now is in the top 20, it's rubbish. I have zero interest in the new Wicker Man remake, I can't stand Nicolas Cage. I've onl;y seen Saw, neither of the sequels but I suppose if I watch the first one again and squint my eyes, I won't notice the difference.

Originally posted by Alex Originally posted by Laura Blair Witch is one of the most disappointing films i've been to see (except the end!) Even the end was shit! What a let down that film was. Best genuine, fright I ever got was at the theatre watching The Woman in Black (might be still on, if so GO!) Premise sort of similar to Blair Witch Project in that your imagination provides the fear. No real props or set plus it was a two hander. When it started I thought Oh bollocks, not one of these plays where two people perform multiple characters and pretend to drink from an imaginery cup - I couldn't be more wrong. I sat in the theatre and TWICE the hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I was rooted to my seat - apart from the bit where I jumped a mile up and screamed like a big girl as if I'd been electrocuted. Plus if you want scary you should've watched that surgery prog on last week showing a guy's face being peeled off

Have just come across this via the Active Users button (thanks lurker). I've never seenThe Woman In Black (missed it by a month) but have heard exactly the same thing you've said about it. The book is magnificent BTW, scary in the same sense that Dracula is scary. In both cases, put away your preconceptions, read both adn see TWIB on Alex's recommendation if you can. It's fab.

I watched the Buffy the Vampire Film when I was younger and I was so scared I had nightmares.

Originally posted by Catwoman Bram Stoker's Dracula now that is scary.

Try reading the book, it's REALLY good. I didn't enjoy the film so much but the book is full of atmosphere; I couldn't stop reading it (at the expense of the at-the-time bf who found himself ignored).

I really don't like horrors I watched Nightmare On Elm Street when I was 21 [I think] and I had to sleep with the light on all night for a week

Thanks Chunks
