View Full Version : Best Horror movie EVER!
I hereby nominate American Werewolf in London. It had the laughs, the gore, proper storyline, characters and actually was a good film in it's own right.

Hellrasier: Deader
I can't remember if that's the right title or the number (could be 6 or 7) but its the one where the reporter goes to Prague. To be honest most of the later Hellraisers were very good you wouldn't have believed they were straight to video, (The originals aren't bad either).
But if your after something a little more mainstream 28 Days Later is great as is Saw 1 and 2 (but unfortunately you can only really enjoy them the once).
Event Horizont but it can also be classified as a Sci-Fi
dont like horror movies, but i would say children of the corn

Wrong wrong wrong wrong. It's Zombie Flesh Eaters. None of these ultra-fast modern jumping zombies, just hideous slow rotten dead things, slowly coming to get you. Ace monster effects, no stupid cgi, keyboard music that makes the hair stand up on the back of your head. Watch it, I love it.

shaun of the dead.
end of
My fave scary moment in a movie was the original Ring TV sequence but for the most profound effect it has to be Jaws. As a kid growing up on the North Cornish coast seaweed was never just a dark shadow on the seabed anymore it was a shark waiting for me to look away so it could bite me in half :shock:
Weirdly when a shark did pass close by (Basking) it was really cool. Still scared of seaweed though :(
American Werewolf in London is still one of my favourite movies and yeah, Shaun of the Dead's up there too.
Both are slightly pipped for me by Dog Soldiers though. The cast commentary on the DVD is great too - it's not so much a commentart as just listening to five blokes watching the movies, having a few brews and a laugh about it. They even stop talking for the best line too. 8)
Haven't seen Shaun of the dead so can't comment...
as for American Wearwolf in London, good film but where's the Gore?? I didn't think that was gory! Good Special FX tho

Not really a horror fan but I do like American Werewolf, I've always had a bit of thing for Jenny Agutter too (which is a bonus).
I like Sleepy Hollow as well (does that qualify as horror ?)

Not quite a movie, but any episode of Top Gear should be up there! :roll:
Seriously though, I actually got to see the Blair Witch Project sometime before the hype
came out. At the time I saw it, believe me, it had the desired effect of being god damned creepy.
Lost a lot of its power when everyone knew what was really going on. :(

Shaun of the Dead is not a horror movie.
Its a comedy and not a very good one at that!

Sleppy Hollow was ace. Ed Burton stuff is fab, never really that scary tho.

No appreciation for truly good films.

I think it was technically billed by Simon Pegg as a Rom-Zom-Com Flick. :lol:

...but I do like American Werewolf, I've always had a bit of thing for Jenny Agutter too (which is a bonus).
Any film in which Jenny Agutter gets her kit off automatically has my vote :D
Seriously, the best one I've seen recently has to be "The Descent", surprising ending...
Halloween. End of.
That ending! :D
Shaun of the dead doesn't really count as a horror in my eyes, but I would rank it as the best horror parody ever. :)
