Yea.. what was all the hype about??? That movie totally sucked elephantitis balls. Seriously. It wasn't even scary. Sooo cheesy.

"Most scariest Horror Film of all time?" Really? hahaha

I don't know. It can go either way.

I am not disputing what you said, I just want to tell my experience with horror flicks, which is long and tumultuous.

I used to be deathly scared of them. I could not sit through beyond the first ten minutes of "Alien". I left the theatre when the astronaut was still just walking in the rain on that planet. A friend of mine wanted to tell me the rest of the movie, and I freaked out. I made him shut up, I was so scared. I was 27 at the time.

My girlfriend saw that "Alien" movie a year later with her other boyfriend, B1. (I was B2, and John the Baptist was B3. John was Japanese, 5'0", and had a huge penis. If you think I am joking, I am not. He was of Baptist Christian persuation, and had to whip himself with a cat-o-nine tails after every time he had sex with our gf. But I digress.) My GF told me that she thought the movie was a rip-off: It was not scary, the special effects were stupid, the alien creatures were ridiculously plastic and toy-like.

I plain refused to see any more horror flicks. I went to see "The Exorcist" to exorcise the scarycat out of me, and I actually forced myself to sit through the whole movie. I could not see but green puce the whole week in the cafeteria dishes.

Then something happened twenty-five years later. My aunt died. She was not my favorite relative.

The next time after that, that I went to see a horror flick, it had to do with zombies. I forgot which movie it was -- it was the one in which the normals flee into a locked-up indoor shopping mall.

I laughed through the whole movie. There is something undescribably funny when a zombie car driven by a zombie t-bones a familyful of station wagon, who are trying to flee town. Or when two zombies fight over a semi-live body, and rip off each other's heads in the process.

This was fun.

Since then, I've been a horror-movie buff. I love them. I laugh at them. I just saw an old one last night, the "Shaun of the Dead". It was hilarious.

The moral lesson, Cyndy75, is that maybe you went through an instant transformation as well. People do that who watch and are deeply impressed by horror flicks one way or another. You flick, you switch camps from one moment to the next. Your love of horror gets bumped, and you get disgusted with the gore. Or you funny side gives up on you, and from one day to the next the horrorshows are dumb and not interesting. Childish.

This is the nature of the zombie.

Sorry.

Rule of thumb I've been learning to live by- avoid most horror movies released by the Hollywood mainstream. Hollywood is too afraid to take chances that's why most of the horror films being released by them are remakes and rip-offs.

No... Obviously you have not seen Insideous.
I still get creeped out from Horror movies.
Paranormal Activity 2, especially the last 30 minutes.. totally freaked me out! Shaun of the dead is supposed to be funny!
This Insideous movie was supposed to be creepy. Honestly, I was more creeped out watching the Black Swan...lol

I think films like Insidious cater to the casual horror fans, those who probably think horror started with Scream. Those who have seen many horror films probably won't be scared by it.

If you'd like to really freak out watching a horror movie, I suggest you look outside Hollywood productions. There are quite a few that could just scare the living crap out of anyone. :)

I saw a really good one!! OO, I loved it. Tonight.

"The game most dangerous" or "the most dangerous game". It was made in the nineteen forties, or thirties? The chick was awesome. Russians were in it, Igor-types. The lead actor was not made to look like a dumb beefcake, although a beefcake he was. (He would clean up on Mingle2 like a clean-sweep in a styrofoam pellet factory.) The movie was well-acted. It went fast, surprisingly. The scenery was awesome (both the painted back-ground ones, and the march through the marsh -- misty like photographed excellently well, especially when one considers the primitive state of equipment reliability and perfomance.) And the dog scenes were amazing. There were little snipppets of logical progressions, which don't happen in modern Hollywood movies, unless it's overdone for an effect. For instance, the dogs (huge mofos) chase a man and his girlfriend, and the dogs' owners run after the whole lot. The sequencing of the dogs catching up on the fugitives and the owners laggin more and more behind was done masterfully, really. And then the dogs run up a crevice in a mountainside, and then one gets stuck -- amazing shots, the dog trying to work his way up to the ledge, but he falls. He even bites the grass to get himself up. And his muscles...!!! Mm-mmm. A regular poster-dog for gay dogs.

The movie was not as banal as it could have been. The chick was a baaaaad screamer --- she looked good and acted well, but boy, she could NOT scream. There was no way to describe how she screamed. Not like a frightened, angry, girl's last resort. No. More like in the dentist's chair, or when Johnny, her eight-year-old, appears on the doorstep coverd head-to-to in pigeon mud. Or when she realizes, havign glanced in the mirror, that the hairdye has made her hair look green. On the day of her daughter's wedding. She did not scream like a girl who sees her own father's guts ripped out of his very own private abdomen, but more like an opera singer who had given to smoking twenty years ago. Her descent on the spiral stairway of the castle, screaming, was ... well. How you say in English? Ridiculous? No other way to put it, while agreeing that the word does not do complete justice to the badness of her scream.

The piano pieces were like from a drunk Western's bar, not something what a Russian Count or Baron would play, fresh out of the Bolshevik-occupied motherland. The beginning scenes showed some of the most awesome and realistic shipwreck scenes. ( I hadn't seen Titanic.)

I'm with you on this one hell when the two guys came on heck I had to laugh they reminded me of the two guys from ghostbusters......

Not one I would want to watch again....

I liked it.
