Watch the German dub of anything!

Recommend a good horror film.

Apparently, there's two different endings - the original, where it turns out she was dreaming, and the edited version where the movie cuts out before she wakes up so it looks like she really made it out.PurpleLeafRave said:
I saw the original and, though not great from a story point of view, it was a good way to lure you into a false sense of security before the final scare.
I really liked 'Trick 'r Treat'. It's by no means a slasher film, and has it's own little contribution to Halloween mythology. I'm even going to make it a Halloween tradition to show it at my house.
Really worth checking out.

Aliens has been mentioned a some times in this thread. I don't understand how anyone born 1990> could possibly be scared by that movie unless it's the first horror/remotely scary flick they've ever watched. The scare factor becomes pretty measly when you've seen it a billion times in a billion different incarnations already.
OT: I love 28 Days Later, it truly is an awesome movie. The sequel would be as great if not for its glaring plot-holes.
I can imagine that you've seen The Exorcist already, but for me that's what's given me the most baggage, if getting truly scared is what you're after.
I'll also recommend Event Horizon, which I just finished watching. That movie is one great easter egg if you're a fan of Warhammer 40K lore as well. Good stuff.

Was that the one about the cave goers? (Spelunkers?) also the classics are the best, try "The Gates of Hell" out, VERY scary, more scary then today's shitDuplicateValue said:
Eraserhead - I don't know if it will give you any sleepless nights, but it's got some pretty fucked up shit going on.
The (original) Texas Chainsaw Massacre - In my opinion it's still the scariest horror movie out there.
Paranormal Activity - If you're into the handycam horror. It certainly gave me a sleeples night or two.

The Shining is unnerving more than terrifying, but remains one of my favourite thanks to my love of Kubrick.
The Orphanage will put you off children for good.
28 Days Later is a pretty intense but intelligent film with characters that are interesting as opposed to the typical dim walking blood-bags that populate most of modern ?horror? for no particularly good reason.
Alien should be watched by anyone who thinks they like horror, more of an education than anything else; ?that scene? in the first film is one talking green frog away from Jim Henderson production where all the niceness has been replaced with blood. Also, though I?m sure this will be disputed, the rest of the quadrilogy (Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection) is worth a look ? Aliens replaces its predecessor?s pre-monster chit-chat with explosions, while also adding an interesting theme of The Mother that juxtaposes nicely with the violent and viral connotations associated with the aliens (?Get away from her, you *****!? ? Alien 3, though flawed is interesting just as an insight into the pre-Se7en days of David Fincher ? Likewise, despite being yet more flawed, Alien Resurrection can provide some entertainment in the novelty that this guns-blazing matcho gun-fest was directed by the Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who followed the project with Alemie!

Really? As a stand-alone film, Saw 1 was an alright experiment, but after that the whole genre just got ridiculous. Especially after they killed-off Jigsaw.JEBWrench said:

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but Planet Terror is great. One of my favourite zombie movies.
