Your ScArIeSt Scary movie ?
-
the exorcist, Shining (the scene of the bath tube…brrrrrrr and the evil twins brrrrbrrrrrrr!), Blair witch project, The Omen, The others, a classic: Rosemary’s Baby, Amytiville Horror (the old one!), Nightmare (Freddy rules!!!!!!!), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (again, the old one!), Stephen King’s It (the scariest one from Stephen King IMO),
I don’t like the japanese horrors and their american adaptations.
I have not considered vampires’ movie because I DO love vampires and I don’t think they are scary at all (I also have a little passion for Hellraiser…..)
And now a movie I can not see because I think it will be too disturbing to me: Funny games (the old one but also the remake). I love horror movies but I can not stand gratuitous violence (and they even kill a dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
And a suggestion for the ones of you that love horror movie. In italy we have a great director called Dario Argento: his 70’s movies (the recent ones are quite crappy, sadly!) such as Suspiria, Profondo Rosso, Demoni, etc etc are sooooooooooooooooooooooo scary!!!!!!!!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dario_ArgentoNot scary as such, but the original Dutch-French co-production of the Vanishing disturbed me no end. Forget about the crap US remake.
Also, as a kid, the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the scariest thing ever put on celluloid. Another film that scared me as a child was an American Werewolf in London – to this day it’s still my favourite movie :oops: Didn’t get to see the screening in Cineworld over the weekend though, sigh.

I’ll go see anything with John Cusack in it,
and I loved Independence Day (it has a different connotation now, since a good friend of mine got married on July 4 this year)
more for the performances of Smith and Goldblum than the effects, although there were some stunning ones-I wasn’t really the target audience for The Day After Tomorrow,
and I thought there were too many, em, continuity errors to allow suspension of disbelief for anyone who had passed entry to their teens-However, isn’t there a particular problem with the Mayan prediction of the timing of the end of the world?
Did they have a separate prediction for the end of their own world?
And if they didn’t, then why should I believe them now,
unless I’m still a pre teen?
A slight bit worrying, since the movie still doesn’t have a rating…Also, since that first movie I mentioned, ID4, we’ve had 9/11, and we have a much better memory of a live version of the Apocalypse, and it isn’t in HD-
wouldn’t a lot more dust and atmospherics have been more appropriate in this movie trailer? Of the movie?It all looks very clean…
Didn’t Nostradamus also predict something about a disaster in Dec 2012? :D :D Scary :shock:

If you can suspend belief enough for Will Smith saving the world from aliens, by hacking into an alien computer with a 1990s MacBook and a bit of scripting, then 2012 should be a breeze.
Was it a Macbook?
You sure it wasn’t a Tandy?
“Arguments supporting this dating are drawn from a mixture of amateur archaeoastronomy, alternative interpretations of mythology, numerological constructions, and alleged prophecies from extraterrestrial beings.”
Wikipedia.
I mean, it’s not written by Oxford Dons, now is it?
unless that Oxford Don also happens to be a Raider of the Lost Ark-“David Morrison of NASA has received over 1000 inquiries from people who thought the website was genuine and has condemned it, saying “I’ve even had cases of teenagers writing to me saying they are contemplating suicide because they don’t want to see the world end. I think when you lie on the internet and scare children in order to make a buck, that is ethically wrong.”
You see? it’s the teens you have to worry about-
Occupying an increasingly awkward place in the space/time thingyium, you’ve got to worry about them,
and guff like this is just playing into their hands, if it’s to be made available for general release.As has been mentioned earlier, the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a far scarier prospect…
I’d go for the pretty pictures too, though judging by the trailer, they could have made them darker-
you’d think that, like Bladerunner, maybe it could have rained more-Besides, that recent and quite excellent David McWilliams series about Money on RTE was a far more chilling vision of the future,
requiring far less suspension of disbelief-
The picture I really want to see is a dramatization of the far side of peak oil,
with gangs of outlaws on horseback running riot on the M50-well I’m not really worried Mick… and anyway, in Space, no one can hear you scream…
Not sure that Aids was anything more than a flavoured slimming biscuit back in ’79 though-
didn’t that turn out to be an unfortunate name for a product…Yes, had great plans for watching WW3 from the top of Three Rock…
