MacReady Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 In a futile effort I am going with The Others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My favorite is Saw, but I think Let the Right One In is amazing. It gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Disappointed The Orphanage didn't make the cut cause I thought it was amazing. This came down to Saw, and 28 Days Later for me. The Others had a really interesting twist to it, probably the best outside of Saw of course. But lacked in a few other areas where it just didn't set itself apart as something truly unique. Acting was on par with the others. I would say the acting in all these movies were not really out of this world, nor was the directing and ideas so I suppose it comes down to originality and impact which is difficult. With that said im giving a small lean to 28 Days Later. In alot of ways it brought something completely new to the genre with marathon running zombies. I mean that alone spawned a dozen horror flicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I did not vote for 'Let the Right One in' even though it is one of my favorite movies all time and easily the most artistic film in this entire group and it is not even close. I just do not consider it a horror movie, it is a twisted childhood romance. Who can be afraid of Eli honestly? She is adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Most underrated scene in The Others was the scene where the kid ripped the shades open. Scared the ****ing **** **** outta me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Once again, two movies I really like, and one that I know I should see and I know people like, but haven't. 28 Days Later by a narrow margin over Saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Just now, August4th said: that pool scene tho lol she was ruthless. Arguably the only downfall of that film was the flat out awful animation for that cat scene and the pool scene, with not much more work those shots could have been improved but they were on a budget of what $4.5 million American dollars, other than that it was freaking great with some amazing screenshots.

Mox Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I've only seen one of those movies so I don't think my vote would carry much value here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Oof. I've seen more from this list. And I like multiple from this list for different reasons. Saw is great. It was completely original (For me. If the idea had been done before, I don't know). It created an entire universe (or whatever) of an evil mastermind torturing folks in wholly unique, terrifying ways. And I love that the idea is transferrable, in terms of ways to implement it in other ways. 28 Days Later is one of my favorites. Zombies that are much more than the dumb, slogging after you monsters was great for the genre. Again, of it had been done before, I don't know. I know sentience has been done since then. I also like that it showed some of the human v human nastiness that inevitably develops in a scenario like that. The Strangers had some creepy moments. But the overall movie felt like it was more catered to be creepy toward the audience than Liv Tyler and dude. Like the scene where she's on the phone and you see one of the baddies peek around the corner. Great scary scene. But it definitely catered more to the audience than the story. The Ring has one of the more visually terrifying monsters. But once you figure it out, it's meh. I couldn't watch it again now and appreciate it. Paranormal Activity scared the everliving **** out of me. I hadn't seen Blair Witch yet and it was original to me. I left wanting more. And the one real jump scare was the very final scene. The slow build was A+. The sequels and spinoffs though... The scene with the baby powder on the floor and the footprints/steps that woke everyone up and ended with the entity running out of the room and slamming the door still freaks me out. Girlfriend (at the time) and I always slept with a fan at the end of our bed. The fan blew the sheet from my foot and I almost slept in the car. Same night we saw this in theatre. Is The Others the one with the monster dragging the pitchfork across the makeshift hospital tent across the floor? If so, that's the only thing I remember about that movie and I watched it. Paranormal Activity gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With horror, I try to pay more attention to the story and premise than the acting. Unless it's absolute garbage. You're not gonna get an all-star cast in a horror flick. I used to Redbox every horror movie I could find. All B movies or worse. But I enjoyed parts of all of them. The stories of a lot of them could have definitely been made better. But the ideas were usually solid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormal Activity gets my vote. The Others, is with Nicole Kidman and her 2 kids when they receive a trio of creepy house keepers who use to live in the house. A lot of weird things start happening after they arrive. I would definitely recommend! A good suspenseful movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
