Find a good horror movie I haven't seen.
I've seen too many to list, but I know there are good ones out there I've missed. Please, take a shot.

Or just post some of your favorites.

:evilgrin:

Thanks!

4. This scared the living bejeezus out of me when I was little & saw it on TV
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054067/
under the title Black Sunday. IMDbers seem to think it still has value today.

59. it is imo a 'true horror' film, not gash & splash for the sake...
but horrible, in a hellish way...you'll see what i mean when you find it, many would consider it low-key, but i like the seemingly understated stuff too :thumbsup:

7. "Curse Of The Demon" (aka "Night Of The Demon")
This is considered to be one of the best early horror films made. Dana Andrews plays an American psychologist who goes to England to debunk stories about the supernatural and a cult of devil worshippers. Jacques Tourneur ("Cat People", "I Walked With A Zombie", Twilight Zone episodes) was the director. It's low budget but has a very creepy atmosphere, good acting, and great directing.

18. Jacob's Ladder - Tim Robbins
is probably my scariest movie choice.

Mr. Frost with Jeff Goldbloom was creepy too - but a different kind of creepy. very disturbing.

27. Santa Sangra
Twisted brilliance from Alejandro Jodorowsky - out here (R2) in a fantastic 2-disc set, or probably online *cough* somewhere
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098253/

Suicide Club - not totally horror, but fantastic & interesting Japanese film. Out in US.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312843/

Plaga Zombie: Mutant Zone - very funny, ultra low-budget Argentinian zombie flick very much inspired by Raimi & early Jackson. The DVD is great - you get the even lower budget original film, both have commentaries & there's a decent little doc on the filmmakers.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210909/

American Nightmare - cheap & flawed, but otherwise fun little indy horror with the great Debbie Rochon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328897/
(Suburban Nightmare & Katiebird *Certifiable Crazy Person are two other low-low budger horror films worth a rent.)

& Wolf Creek if nobody's mentioned it, although I'm guessing you have ;)

Incident on a Dark Mountain Road for two.

I highly recommend Audition if you like Japanese horror.

I just attended HorrorFind convention last weekend in Baltimore - Romero was there and they had the girls from Hostel. They previewed SawIII, too.

Picked up a bunch of strange movies we will be watching over the next few weeks.

A lonely and mentally disturbed young woman is slowly pushed into insanity in her quest to find a friend and she eventually decides, "if you can't have a friend, make one"... which she proceeds to do using the body parts of other people

It's fucked up

Also, have you ever heard of "Blood Sucking Freaks"?
