Haven - It takes a lot to freak me out, scare me or anything. The Hills Have Eyes had me losing sleep..... that movie freaked me out.

At least I''m not alone!
Ugh, that movie was so grotesque, and scary, and horrifying, and UGH! I hate it.
But I still really want to see the original.

Oh man. That movie scared me so much!!!

I hate but LOVE scary movies. I normally watch the movie through my fingers and close my eyes or plug my ears...

Nope. Nada. Will not see it. Scary scary scary. Crap. I''m scared from just reading it!!!!!!!!

This scene freaked me out for a long time. I can finally muster the courage to look at it. Great CGI effects I must say!!

I just read the whole spoiler for Paranormal Activity. NO WAY am I seeing that.

Horror/slasher movies are one thing, but this sort of supernatural stuff I stay away from.

I saw Paranormal Activity last night and it was good, but I have to say... it wasn''t as scary/creepy as I thought it would be.
Yes it does have its moments, and it will make you jump, but I guess with all the hype that this movie is getting I was expecting more.
I would recommend it and I would watch it again.
I will be interested to see what others think

WOW, someone that wasn''t scared. . .

Did anyone ever see "The Changeling" with George C. Scott? When I saw that film, I was amazed by the fact that "The Ring" appeared to steal a lot of elements from that film. It was creepy as well (another ghost film).

 

[packrat]

Nope, never seen it, but I looked it up on IMDB and looks good!

I''m with you ckrickett, anything ''supernatural'' gives me the heebie-jeebies!!

And why was The Ring so bloomin scary?? Is it kids do you think? I was like inspector Clouseau after I saw that film waiting on Kato to jump out at me, talk about nervous.

I''ll probably watch this movie and of course wished I hadn''t. For me, it''s the music, so I tend to watch scary mary films with the sound down or on mute or with my fingers in my ears.

Also, doesn''t help when you have an overactive imagination.

*sigh*

seriously, I''m that jumpy reading the movie spoiler that I''m not reading it properly and have just asked myself:

"why does she want to call a dermatologist?"

[arjunajane]

Haven''t heard of this one, but safe to say I will be making Fi come along with me - I love me a scary movie.


Did the scary flick fans here see "Drag me to Hell"?
That was awesome!!! and pretty scary at times.

I want to see that! It will be interesting to see if this movie will be scarier than PA.

 

[lyra]

We went to see this movie tonight and I was deeply disappointed. Too much hype, and as usual, they show way too much in movie trailers. There was one scene that was creepy to us, but I really couldn''t get emotionally involved. Maybe I''m too jaded. The whole time I was thinking of how they did effects and why were they using the camera at certain points that didn''t make sense at all.

What was really scary was when the couple in front of us got in a fight with the 4 people beside them as soon as the show was over! No ushers in sight and it was getting ugly.

Honestly,
I''m a huge scary movie fan and literally have to drag Fi to go see them - but even he was impressed with Drag me to Hell, he really enjoyed it.
There was the right mix of proper scary, funny, gross/gory and a decent storyline - and actually really good acting from the girl and the old woman (not always the best acting in scary movies).

I think that''s what put it up there.

I see all of them, and this was the best by far since The Ring - maybe better actually. So do see it

I didn't even know that was a profession. LOL!!

My friend from work saw it. He said it was "very scary."

I own a copy of, "The Blair Witch project", but haven''t yet seen it! I got it to watch with my great-nephew, who also likes supernatural (not gory) horror movies but we haven''t had a chance to watch it. We have always been with people who don''t like horror movies when we have been together!

I also have copies of, "The Exorcist" and "Poltergeist" which I have seen and which scared me at the time I saw them. I am looking forward to seeing those again with my great nephew.

I never heard of, "The Ring". I don''t have any idea if it is my type of movie. "Paranormal Activity" sounds like a possibility, though.

I don''t know why people even mention slasher movies in the same breath with movies about the supernatural. The person who wants to be scared by the supernatural isn''t the same one who wants to watch someone being hacked into pieces. At least I cannot fathom why he would be!

My mom and I were talking about this movie the other day and she said there was a movie years ago, but she couldn''t remember the name exactly..she thinks it had Audrey Hepburn in it, and she played a blind woman who witnessed a crime. Mom said there were signs up at the theaters saying no admittance during the last 10 minutes b/c it was so incredibly suspenseful. She said it wasn''t scary like, things that go bump in the night, but made you want to scream b/c of the suspense, waiting for something to happen. I like those movies too.

Oh hey thanks Deb! Did you see it? Was it good?

 

[pinkstars]

Oh my goodness! BF and I saw this last night, we were terrified! Bloody, gory stuff doesn''t freak me out a ton but this kind of stuff scares me so much! I get soo into it.
When things started to get intense I had to not look directly at the screen.

Did anyone get freaked out by The Descent? That movie kept me freaked out for awhile!

BF and I are considering seeing Paranormal Activity again, we really enjoyed being freaked out so much!

 

[packrat]

Pink, we borrowed The Descent from my mom and kept it for months w/out watching it. She told me not to watch it by myself, and that I would be even *more* scared of things in the dark..I made the mistake of mentioning that to JD and he said HECK NO. Mom brought the movie up again last week and said she''d watch it w/me..but I can''t bring myself to do it! Bock bock bock I''m a CHICKEN!

I found out that my 17 year-old daughter saw, "Paranormal Activity" with a friend and the friend's mother. My daughter was bored silly and the friend's mother fell asleep. I found it incredibly interesting to return to this thread and see that people here are still writing that they are frightened by the same movie that bored my daughter!!!

I never saw, "Wait Until Dark", packrat. It wasn''t my thing. I enjoy movies about the supernatural, not about crime and the horrors that man can perpetrate against man.

Hmmm. I have a love/hate relationship with scary movies. Mostly hate, LOL! I just read the spoilers and now... I''m intrigued. Hmmm.
