Horror films

[Clarkey]

I always like a good horror / thriller film, can anyone recommend any good ones preferably based on true events or thereabouts.

Ringu
Texas chainsaw
SAW ( all )

Those I liked

[Clarkey]

I believe I've seen all those.
Out of the Saw films I preferred the first one over the rest. It was unique at the time, nothing else like it. Then it was just a lot of the same sort of thing. I still felt I had to watch them though.

The most recent film I watched based on true events was called Wolf Creek. It's a 2005 film based in the Australian Outback. I enjoyed that film quite a bit.

[Juliette]

Almost all Hammer films. Especially the ones with Christopher Lee..
Although not based on real situations.. *grin* But they are pretty great.

Harry Potter.. it made me scared?

What about Pet Cemetary? old skool

[Clarkey]

Hmm may have seen Pet Cemetary, or was it the second one. Which ever one had Anthony Edwards in from ER.

And no-one suggest Drag Me To Hell.... i've never laughed so hard in my life!

No it wasn't, and when that possessed guy started dancing in mid air towards the end.... I thought I was going to die of laughter! I wouldn't laugh at it again, but when I saw it that time it just hit the right buttons!

[Clarkey]

That's quite a list!

* Quatermass and the Pit (1967)

Haven't seen this one for years and years! I remember really enjoying it but also quite scared. Hmm I wonder how old I was back then (not 1967 obviously).

* The Woman in Black (2011)

Any relation to the Woman In Black theatrical show? I saw Woman In Black in the theatre probably 7 or 8 years ago?

[Juliette]

Absolutely.

The Woman in Black is a 1983 thriller fiction novel by Susan Hill about a menacing spectre that haunts a small English town.

It was adapted into a stage play by Stephen Mallatratt. A TV movie based on the story, also called The Woman in Black, was produced in 1989, with a screenplay by the distinguished film and television writer Nigel Kneale (best known as the creator of the Quatermass science-fiction serials). A remake of the film is set to be released by Hammer in 2012. The stage play was first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre-In-The-Round in Scarborough, UK in 1987. It was very well received and moved to the Fortune Theatre in London's West End in 1989 where it still runs today, as well as currently being on a UK National Tour. The stage play is notable for having a very small cast, but it remains a popular play.

if you want a rather strange (and old) horror movie, we suggest "twisted nerve"...

of course, most of the horror movies that are new, we generally place in under our "humor" category, simply because they tend to be humorous, not horrifying...

The recent remake of nightmare on Elm street is one such...
