Quarantine was good, and it was definitely the best point-of-view horror movies I've seen. That's right, I said it was better than The Blair Witch Project.

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.
I haven't seen anything but the first one.

The Brood is pretty scary and is a really good film.

Shivers is a really good film and a great horror.

The Fly is generally an excellent film.
Wow, yes! The Brood and the Fly are tops on my list.
You sir have good taste. Have you seen Shivers or rabid or scanners, all excellent films?
Oh man, have I ever! I just have a giant man crush on Cronenberg - I even love Jason X due to his cameo/death in the opening scene.

Hmmm...House of 1000 corpses and its sequel The Devil's Rejects.
I wonder why you would recommend that...


Killer Clowns From Outer Space, or anything with clowns at all...
*shudders*

Quarantine? no way man the original .Rec is so much better, I'm fed up of Americans remaking films purely because they can't be fucked reading subtitles, did the same with remaking 'let the right one in' and calling it 'let me in'

I haven't seen the original, but if it's better, listen to primitivescrewhead.

I don't remember seeing anyone list The Children ... I haven't seen it but it looks very interesting to say the least

Saw it myself.

It was definitely...something. Not the best horror I've seen but it was for sure different from the others I've seen over the years.

Also, Welcome to the Escapist. Make yourself at home but don't go into the basement :)

Session 9
The Eye (original)
Dead Alive (aka Braindead)

I'll recommend more but I'll do it in sets of three (oh, and big kudos on the many Cronenberg recommendations)

I've already been in the basement ... all I found was this cute baby slimy thing ... *cuddles* ... Can I keep it?

OT: What about the movie Wrong Turn? Everyone loves those creepy, cannibalistic men hiding in the forest ...

Or how about Sorority Row? Not really horror ... kind of mild suspense [there are a few spots where I jumped ... I sort of get scared easily.] All in all though it was fun watching stuck up snobs getting owned.

The Midnight Meat Train - Really gorey, but really good as well!
Let the Right One In - No explaination needed.
The People Under the Stairs - Not that scary, but still a great film.
The Serpent and the Rainbow - Again, no explaination is needed.

God damn, you've doomed us all...again

And I'll have to agree with you on Sorority Row as well. Not exactly horror but good killing fun all the same

Maybe I shouldn't mention the slimy thing escaped ...


If OP, or anyone for that matter, likes to see dimwitted people getting owned I would also recommend seeing Black Christmas [the remake] ... I have not seen the original.

I will also throw a vote in for Trick 'R Treat ... this makes me fear halloween now.
