Okay, I'm going to make a list of some of the best horror movies. Any opinions or additions are welcomed.
1) Jaws: Ok... its a classic and i'm a bit biased. But for its time, you have to admit it must of been pretty scary. I think the best part is the part where he explodes a scuba tank (implausible). Very good film!
2) Friday the 13th: Who can not see this and squirm? A bit? Well its a slasher film and yes I think it is also a classic that needs to be recognised. Jason Voorhees starred in my first horror film I have seen... No i didn't sleep very often afterwards...
3) Predator: EPIC!!! Its kinda a horror film right? The sequels and "Predators" was good but nothing could really beat the original. Gotta see it.
4) A Nightmare on Elm Street: Try sleeping after watching this! Yes, another slasher film involving Freddy Kreuger (apprentices being Eddy and Joe) and its a ripper involving a dream killer. I've seen parts of the original and the whole remake at the cinema and the only thing that made me jump was when Taylor Bates screamed when Freddy appeared unexpectantly because of sleep deprivation while the characters are driving at night. Damn... Scary quotes involve "Did you know that after your heart stops beating your brain functions for up to 7 minutes? We have six more minutes to play!" and also the best scene is when the girl is thrown round the room in her sleep before she is killed. Awesome build up and kill scene! Oh yeah and the funny bit was when a girl is dreaming and falls into a hallway of blood which then Freddy says, "How's this for a wet dream?". What!? I thought it was funny...
5) Halloween: Should be recognised as a good classic horror and this is all I'll say because I haven't actually seen it.
6) Open Water: I may have told some of you about this film but i think this is one of the scarier BASED ON A TRUE STORY films. It involves a couple of divers that get left behind after a diving trip and they stay in the water for hours before they die. The bodies were never found. The scene where the girl gives up and just swims down into shark infested water is really sad (she dies).
7) The Ring: Pretty good film. Makes you think... and squirm...
8) Ghost Ship: Not a well known horror film but the part where everyone is cut in half while dancing is friggin... gross...
9) Saw: Everyone says its good. And it must be good if they make so many sequels so its making an appearance on this list. (Haven't seen it).
10) Untraceable: Reasonably new and you probably haven't heard of it. Basically about a guy who kills people while streaming live on the internet, the more people who view, the faster the person dies. (Eg. A guy is in a tank of water and the more people who view the stream, the faster industrial grade sulphuric acid is pumped into the tank.)
