Last movie to scare you? - Blu-ray Forum

What is the last horror/sci-fi movie to actually scare you?

I'm not sure why, but Event Horizon got me good and messed with my head for weeks. I think it was because I saw it in the theatre and did not know anything about the movie. It really surprised me.

Aliens gave me nightmares...
But the last one was probably the Grudge.
On the other hand, orphanage was not scary, but was very good and thrilling.

My dad took me "bowling" as kid so I'm pretty desensitized. (bowling was code for Jaws, Aliens, and any other scary movie out in the 80's). The last movie to freak me out was The Ring. Only lasted for the film itself, but considering I don't even blink at movies now, that's saying something.

The "Origanal" Omen and The Exorsist are the only ones that really get to me. They are the movies that you could be somewhat believable in a sense. I still wont watch them today.

Was so Mom wouldn't know? My mother would not let me see Jaws. I rememeber crying, because she promised to take me, then reneged after asking acquaintances about it's appropriateness for kids.

Although the movie in all was pretty lame and unscary, white noise really freaked me out a little about static noise in electronics. This is the best reason for digital television. No more snowy channels.

that scene where someone is like split in two hanging from the ceiling freaked the hell outta me too lol... to be honest i dont remember being super scared after that during a movie... before that i had seen some movie (i cant remember the name) but it was like a classic horror movie where the family's taking a road trip and their car breaks down and they stay in some mansion where all the dolls come alive and kill everyone... i was 5 lol. dolls still give me the heebie jeebies

the grudge, what lies beneath, the exorcist

.

pretty much everything was either creepy or gory.

pedigree · 02-05-2008, 02:53 PM

Yep. I had REALLY bad nightmares after the first couple scary movies but like anything else, you watch them enough and it goes away. I think I was 10 and we still had to lie to my mom about what we were doing/seeing just so she wouldn't worry (how odd is that by they way...no I don't have kids). She has nightmares for weeks if I watch National Geographic and a snake is shown, so go figure.

For me it was the Exorcist and Ju On(Original)

Sunshine scared me a bit, but in a good way. I don't normally watch horror movies.

@MATTYBLU2
The original is very good but the remake is NOT

Flux88MPH · 02-05-2008, 03:08 PM

the Ring (U.S.) and Inland Empire

it was terrible. really terrible. (and on HD DVD, but hey even more scary for some i guess

)

The only reason i watched it was Kristen Bell, and even she could not save this waste of time.....

surfdude12 · 02-05-2008, 03:10 PM

Shining, Kubrick is a master of suspense, no gore but 10 times a scary as Saw because of the realism

Borris · 02-05-2008, 03:13 PM

Teeth (in select theatres now) Funny too, but just disturbing like Hard Candy was.

I agree with the Grudge, but it didn't affect me as much as Event Horizon.
