By the time this movie is over you will have no intentions of picking up a hitchhiker ever in your life. The scariest factor of the movie is how Rutger Hauer (the guy who playes the hitch hiker) plays such a believable role. And I think what is so scary to me about the movie is how easily and how fast this could really happen.

I think everyone should see this movie at least once.

******SPOILER ALERT******

Great choice. There is a theory about the film that hasn't ever been confirmed or denied by the film makers. Is The Hitcher just a figment of C.Thomas Howell's imagination? Makes more sense than it seems to.

hmmm....interesting. I could see where the imagining thing could fit a few times in the movie. Like in all of the instances he was being framed, maybe he really did do it???......BUT theres no way he could be in his imagination because they caught the hitcher in the end and people were talking to him. But I could see where people may think the kid may be imagining the whole thing.

This is in my netflix queue right now...maybe I'll movie it to the top, since I've been wanting to see it for a while now and most people seem to really dig it.

Definitely. I have seen it twice now. The second watch was even better.

Saturnine 04-01-2009 04:13 AM

I remember watching a horror flick in the 80's called 'superstition' - about a witch that lived in a pond near a family home. That **** me up good. Think it was on the UK banned list for a while.

Best horror I've seen recently was Frank Darabont's 'The Mist'.

DMBassDude 04-01-2009 08:08 PM

I think there's a few winners:

Most Disturbing- Hostel

Creepiest- Nosferatu

Most likely to make me sh*t myself- the Exorcist

pahuuuta 04-03-2009 08:14 AM

the halloween movies were good, not scary, dont get the two confused. . .

Sodacake 04-09-2009 12:59 PM

halloween movies were more thrillers than straight up horror movies. and by the "halloween movies" i mean the first two.

FaSho 04-19-2009 10:34 AM

It's kinda cliche, but definatley The Excorcist.

The opening 20-odd minutes are terrific. As for the rest, I enjoyed it, but felt it kinda tailed off a little towards the end.

Another great one I just remembered is Braindead. It's the only movie that's ever made me feel slightly ill from watching it (and not in the Pretty Woman sense of the phrase).

Zombi 2/Zombie Flesh Eaters/Zombie/whatever you want to call it is pretty good too. i guess, being somewhat of a misanthrope and all, something about a zombie apocalypse just makes me feel warm inside.

That is why I cannot get into it. Those scenes are utterly laughable. The film is Zombi- the one with the underwater shark? Then that's Lucio Fulci and it's class. If you want to see an earlier classy zombie film check out 'Let Sleeping Corpses Lie' AKA 'The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue' which despite being made in 1974 is quite brutal and has a cracking atmosphere.

Those movies are pretty good. I know the girls were Canadian but not sure if the movie was or not. Either way good stuff.

Agreed I love that movie although the series sucked as they made them they got worse. They really should have left it alone with just Jaws.

Just a few.

I didn't know he made The Rage I thought that was some body else.. wow as much as I like that movie it never had a Stephen King feel to it like Carrie or any others. I also really thought Christine was his worse movie by far.

Rose Red was really dark and creepy but it had a few big cheese factors to it. The acting the way some scenes were directed were just not well but that goes for all of his movies there is always some part that it pure cheese.

Pet cemitery was a very creepy movie, more so if you watch it when your young.

Now I get creeped out very easily and this movie did not do it for me. I found the idea of a man coming to get you when you look into a mirror and say candy man three times a good one.. But the man himself not really scray enough and the movie itself just seemed too much of a trend.

I really liked this one aswell very well acted and well done indeed. It was great for its time and still great. I also think the remake not as good but still a good movie.

I personally really like Rob Zombie movies he really has good ideas and knows how to make things perfect. I can't wait to see his new Halloween movie.

pahuuuta 04-24-2009 09:51 AM

the first jaws was a good movie the rest of them were pretty lame

jackhammer 04-24-2009 10:33 AM

There is cheese and there is cheese when it comes to horror movies.

This is cheese and damn good too:


Guybrush 04-27-2009 07:06 AM

Nice Lee, looks almost like Dr. Who meets Braindead!

Slither from 2006 is a good movie for those who love and miss the gory 80s horror flicks. It's part comedy, part horror, lots of cool special effects and gore. It will not be the best horror movie you've seen, but it will keep you happily entertained while it's on.

Check out the trailer :)


coryallen2 04-27-2009 07:13 AM

The SAW movies are alright but they are starting to get to be homo.

I saw this in the $5 bin at Best Buy the other day and almost bought it...would you say it's worth the 5 bucks?

jackhammer 04-27-2009 12:40 PM

I personally didn't like Slither. I thought the pacing was very slow but I'm a fussy bugger when it comes to films!

Although I am of the opinion most Stephen King adaptions have been absolute ****e, this is a much better film than people give it credit for. Hell, I'd even say its scary in certain places.

Hm, depends .. I wouldn't buy it since I've seen it and I'm not likely to watch it again, but my friend who's a bit obsessive about his dvd collection probably would. However, if you haven't seen it, then I'd say yes - it's easily worth 5 dollahs.

My favourite horror movie of all time is probably Evil Dead although that's probably because of just as much affectionate value as it is because of quality. I still think it's a very good movie, especially when you consider budget, who they were etc. etc.

Enjoy the theatrical trailer if you want :D


coryallen2 04-29-2009 09:44 AM

I loved when The Blair With Project made people flip out. Like they thought that stuff was seriously real.

pahuuuta 04-30-2009 10:47 AM

its not that you think its real its suspenseful thats all

coryallen2 04-30-2009 10:54 AM

IDK man some peopel were flipping out.

pahuuuta 04-30-2009 10:58 AM

it is pretty freaky though must say

pahuuuta 05-06-2009 12:06 PM

i really like the movie 1409 based on Stephen Kings short story, not really scary like youll have nightmares about it but it still is a pretty good movie, anyone else seen this movie?

It was OK. Certainly not awful but I also wouldn't watch it again.

Timiscute 05-06-2009 01:13 PM

Best horror movie easily goes to the Kubrick classic The Shining! That movie is amazing. High Tension is another really good one. Real bloody.

The Evil Dead trilogy is utterly fantastic. Low budget, yeah. But always classic. Plus, Bruce Campbell is pretty much God. A lot of people say Army of Darkness is their favorite, and while it's cool and everything, the first one's mine for sentimental reasons.

I'm very critical of horror films, it takes a lot to scare me. The original Nightmare on Elm Street was the very first horror film I ever saw (at the ripe old age of six years old... yeah you can bet it gave me nightmares lol) and because of that it holds a special place in my heart. I love that movie.

As far as recent horror films go, one of the more intense ones I've seen was Shrooms. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it's crazy.

But my absolute all-time favorite horror movie ever is Pet Sematary. It's such a psychological thing as well as a blood 'n guts "arise from the dead" thing. Bonus points for Mr. Munster playing Judd Crandall. (That being said, the retarded excuse for a sequel almost kills it for me.)

Wow, we have some things in common. I also like the first Evil Dead out of the bunch and, like you, I also watched Nightmare on Elm Street when I was a kid and it did spook me quite a bit :D

I agree about Pet Sematary as well, it's a good movie - I also read the book when I was a kid. The sequel is absolutely awful, though it still made me laugh now and then. Clancy Brown as the returned evil zombie dad had his moments.
