Watching any scary movie before bed time keeps me awake for hours.

I thought I was the only person who ever saw this movie...

That was one disturbing flick...

There was one movie my friend rented. It was awful, don't know the title. It was about a group of young people whose vehicles were stopped on a highway. This girl could foresee their deaths and prevented it. Well death visited each one of those that should have died and they died in various ways which was quite disturbing.

I saw a similar kind of movie last night called "Dead End"... Boring as hell, but what's with all these kind of movies popping up now?
Are they really THAT clueless in Hollywood?

Neversin.

For me, it would have to be "The Cook The Thief His Wife and Her Lover" and for a more recent horror flick - Ringu - The Japanese version. The American remake was too hollywood.

Graffiti Bridge!

Don't Look NowWhat happens to Donald Sutherland at the end makes me cringe..uugh

Hannibal.....

Hannibal was (I think) based on a true person

"Salo" really got to me, as did "Jacob's Ladder." "Big Fish" made me EXTREMELY angry and if I ever see Tim Burton, Im gonna kick him where it hurts...

Yeah, funnily enough I saw a little child in a red mac the other day and I instantly thought of that. Creepy.

Great choice...it is one of my favorite films.....

yes, kevin mccarthy (rip).. then the remake when donald sutherland turned around at the end, pointed and went (you know the sound)...it happened again!

Other movies that scared the crap outta me:

1) Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Stupid TV movie I begged my mom at age 6 or 7 in like 76 or 77. She let me and it scared me to death.

2) Freddie parts 1 - 3: cuz getting to me in my dreams AND you're a funny killer. Now that got to me. Cuz even my asthmatic behind could outrun Jason & Michael.

3) For some reason, The Dead Zone w/MartinSheen & I can't remember who the star was! Scared me to death and reminds me of Bush!

4) The Entity: not only was it a willful ghost, BUT IT FOLLOWED HER ACROSS THE COUNTRY

5) Enemy of the State: was scared to pick up the phone.

6) The Exorcist, rereleased in 2002 (?). Couldn't sleep w/the lights off for a week...and I was 33 years old! Much more suspenseful.


Also: Jaws

It's one that I can't watch very often though.

TheBoostress said:

I remember the title "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" but what was it about?

And it was Christopher Walken with Martin Sheen in The Dead Zone.

TheBoostress said:

DeadZone was with Christopher Walken as Johnny Smith directed by David Cronenberg written by Stephen King....

PusherMan said:

Wow, how could I EVER forget Christopher Walken!!! At the time I was frightened cuz I'd hate to be him...now I'm frightened cuz I think my POTUS may BE him!

Oh, and speaking of David Cronenberg, for all the gals: Dead Ringers...does anybody have statistics on if visits to the gyno went down after that? BLECH

The Muppet Movie.. gave me nightmares..

Don't ask me why.. there's something very eerie about that flic...

here have a

Amityville II: The Possesion freaked me out the first time I saw it... I was about 10, I think.

Case said:

you watched Salo? WOW!!! Where did you find it? And what made you watch it?

DETAIL DETAILS!!

sosgemini said:

Do you mean Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom from 1975 directed by Pasolini....Indeed, this film is disturbing, mostly because similar tortures are still carried out today, under fascist regimes; when absolute power is given to one person, or a small group of people, carries the danger of absolute corruption. Through absolute corruption, the depths of evil are endless. This is the true message of both Pasolini's film and the Marquis De Sade's novel. And like the Marquis De Sade, Pasolini chooses satire as his vehicle to convey this message. Black humor at its finest!.....

Jacob's ladder! Haven't seen that in years, but i remember it totally freaked me out.

TheFrog said:

Jacobs Ladders story is incredible, and Tim Robbins long before "Mystic River" played one of his best roles. Music, story, photography are exceptional. Dream or reality, both are mixed in a subtle game. There are some movies that really set a great precedent, and "Jacob's Ladder" is a leading example. Long before movies like "The Sixth Sense" or "The Others" "What Lies Beneath" or "Unbreakable" were out, "Jacob's Ladder" was one of the first movies to play so artfully with combinations of the natural and the paranormal, the real and the surreal, and most importantly, a movie that manages to bring you completely by surprise in the end, by making everything seen up to that point shown in a different perspective. The film is full of symbolisms, which are capable to be grasped by someone only if he/she sees the movie more than once. It is not a horror movie, yet there are some scenes that can definitely scare you quite much.....

Good film.
