Scariest movie ever

Well put what movies youve seen that have scared the shit out of you. My two are paranormal activitey and the fucking exorcist.

Pokemon the Movie.

I was shitting bricks!!

The Village wasn't meant to be a scary movie you toss pot.
I love that movie. It inspired me.

Hmm, I'm pretty desensitized.
I can't really think of anything that truly scared me.
The Exorcist wasn't that bad I thought.

Most of the movies that scared me weren't meant to be scary movies.
Like that scene in Pan's Labyrinth where she's escaping the child-eating monster.
Scared me a little, but yeah, it's not a scary movie.

The Grudge is probably the scariest movie I've seen.

I agree with Gene, The Grudge is probably the scariest movie I've seen. I thought The Hills have Eyes films were pretty scary too.

The Hellraiser movies are pretty good.

There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day-Lewis is scary as shit.

And Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men. Those some scary ass characters right there.

Never found movies like Saw to be scary. They're really not, they're just kinda gross. And the acting is god awful.

ild advise you get pretty high then watch the scariest movie you've ever seen again.

Pretty sure you will cry, possibly not be able to sleep without the thought of the horror character being in your wardrobe/under your bed

The scariest movies I've ever seen:
- Haunting In Connecticut
- Paranomal Activity
- Amityville Horror
- The Ring
- The Sixth Sence
- Silent Hill
- The Exorcist

I get easliy scared of paranomal movies, cus' ghosts are real!

The first move of the grudge was a bit scary but the second one was just dumb and hilarious.. The same was Hills have eyes. Shit movies No offence to others.

I watched Final Destination 2 when I was 9. Nightmares for a week.
But since then I've watched all 4 many times over.
Now I'm like just impressed at the FX.

There's a difference between "gore" and "scary". I can easily handle gore like Saw and the Halloween movies. I really don't find many movies "scary" anymore in the traditional sense. I might watch some of these now actually and see what I think.

I personally prefer a more haunting theme to scary. "Knowing" was a really good one. Spoiler: But it all being aliens ruined it. Too over-used.

The village was deffinetly not ment to be scary and was an epic movie. Hills have eyes 1 was fucked up and scary in the sense that there's physcos like that in are world just no ones that were exposed I radiation

the ring, it is probably cuz i was a whole lot younger though.

Are you guys serious with Paranormal Activity? And the Grudge? Wow..lol..

Well Mr Critical, what makes your almighty list?

I really dont scare easily, but I did see part of Friday the 13th when I was like...9, and yeah, that fucked me up for a few nights, other than that, its pretty much impossible to scare me.

Well some movies that were listed are spot on such as Stephen King's It and The Exorcist.

But I've always found real world situations much more frightening than anything fictional. Like Michael Moore's documentaries. He's eccentric, sure..but his documentaries contain many truths. Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, and Capitalism: A Love Story are scarier movies than anything listed thus far.

They all pale in comparison to THE scariest movie of all time though. I present to you: Jesus Camp. Fucking creeped me out. Go watch it if you haven't.

Mirrors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors_%28film%29. Here's the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvwRl_jF8Zk

Just check out the plot (only the first part of it if you plan to watch it). It's pretty difficult to explain.

Pan's Labyrinth was also a brilliant movie. Not exactly scary, but extremely suspenseful.

Some of the movies everyone listed made me laugh because of how mediocre they were. Can you imagine that? Some guy chuckling out loud in the theatre when a guy blows his head off in an outhouse? Yeah, that was me.

Some of my personal favorites:

Alien
Psycho
The Thing
The Exorcist
Ju-On
The Shining
Cube
Jacob's Ladder
The Evil Dead
Evil Dead II
Carrie
Halloween
Night of the Living Dead

^That's just to name a few.

To add on to the discussion:

The Village was an excellent movie, I loved it. It was a very inspirational film and even though it was not meant to be a horror film, it's still a chilling one. The music was just wonderful and really made that movie whole.

And off I go, filling up my hard drive with more movies.....

The Ring didn't scare me at all.

I had to stop watching Human Caterpillar when I watched it. Not necessarily for the fright, but for the gore and how grotesque it was.

AH, thank you Masamune for reminding me. If you want a horror/suspense movie that's actually scary and suspenseful. THE THING. Great movie. John Carpenter at his best.

Alien and Aliens are great as well.

Just watched Grudge. Not the greatest.

It has some scary bits but that's it.

There's no plot or storyline, it's just people dying. Like the Final Destination series.

Knowing wasn't exactly scary but it had a good plot.

You know what kills most would-be great horror movies? The damned clichés. Looking in the mirror, cars not starting, cell phone signal is dead, etc..

Silent Hill was pretty scary to me. I hid behind my friend Charlotte. She lied to me and said..."oh you will like this movie it has Sean Bean !!"

Paranormal Activity wasn't scary.
I don't know why so many people were freaking out about a door opening by itself.
Me and my brother were laughing at the crazy bitch who was watching the dude sleep.

I have to agree Randy..to stay in a house like that with all that shit going on was DUMB, so it follows you, its got to take a little time to do that so RUN.

I'm surprised more people haven't said The Shining. That was some scary shit.

Man, i just saw Jesus Camp. It's almost the same as Hitler did :/ I'm freaked out and angry right now.

Paranormal Activity didn't have exaggerated animations but simpel and realistic happenings which made it a win in my register. Zombie-movies with blood and guts spraying in every direction is more a laughing matter for me. Give me hauntings, ghosts, unexplainable things and you'll have me hiding under the blanket.

Horror movies to see before you die - or die while watching:

I can't believe that no one (that I saw (lol "Saw" is ok btw)) mentioned the great "Blair Witch Project". It's just a great movie. The fact that the viewer sees everything from the main character's camera is unique (or was, now another newer movie called "[REC]" did the same thing, great movie as well, or the english version called "Quarantine")

I am REALLY into horror movies.

"The Grudge" was one of the scariest movies I have ever seen but when I saw it with a bunch of friends it was just a boring fun movie.

It's all about who you watch it with. If you watch "Paranormal Activity" alone or with a friend, or with 10 people, it makes a big difference to how you see the movie. (I thought "Paranormal Activity" was great though.)

"The Exorcist" was great as well and very scary, but very funny if you watch it with a bunch of friends (especially the puking part).

"The Shining" is great, classic, awesome, win.

Didn't care much for "The Others" or "The Mist" (not "The Fog"). "The Ring" was ok. "The Sixth Sence" is a great movie, not that scary, just a great story and stuff.

"Alien" was more of a thriller to me. Just a bunch of shock-scenes what I remember. Still pretty good and classic and stuff. "Alien 2" (think it might have been called "Aliens" though) was surprisingly good for a follow up movie.

"Rosemary's Baby" is a great old horror movie - go watch it.

Another great half-old horror movies is "Children of the Corn", great story, great horror.

Didn't really like "Poltergeist", guess it was... ok... maybe...

"The Omen" is ANOTHER great horror movie! (Watch the first old version though, not the new re-make)

"Hostel" is pretty scary and good, the same kind of horror as "Saw" what I remember.

"Silence of the Lambs" with Dr. Hannibal Lecter and all that is another "interesting" and great horror movie, not too much horror, but still a great movie.

"Jaws".... Umm.... Should have been called "Yawns"... (Ha. Ha.)

If you haven't seen "May", watch it. I saw it with a friend once, and it scared me how much the main character with the name May was so much like the person I watched the movie with.

"A Nightmare on Elm Street" was ok as well, I guess it's a "classic" horror movie. Only saw the 2010 re-make though. It was pretty funny how everytime the main characters fell asleep and then "woke up" right after, and then "Freddy" started showing up, and everyone in the audience (i saw it in movie theater) was like "what?! I don't understand this, they must be asleep for Freddy to show up!!! what is this?!!"...
And if you haven't seen "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (or the simpsons parody of it), this doesn't make any sence at all to you.

"Wolf Creek" is a new GREAT movie! (spoiler: it ends with the main character getting saved by 2 random swedes lmao, sweden ftw)

"The Hills Have Eyes" was pretty good when I saw it, but not a movie to really remember and think about.

I think "I am Legend" could be classed as a horror movie. I think it was awesome. Just like super awesome, awesome. Watch it if you haven't seen it.

And yeah, Sweden made this one great movie which happened to be a horror movie a few years ago, watch it, it's called "Let the Right One In". For some reason, people actually liked a swedish movie. I liked it as well though so yeah, WIN!

"Drag Me to Hell" was ok, not really THAT bad as some of the people in this topic said.

"Eden Lake" was a pretty good horror movie as well, I think it's pretty new as well.

Did I say "The Ring" yet? Well, I liked it, had a pretty good story. But if you've seen the "Scary Movie" parody, i'm pretty sure you'll just laugh. - Just saw that I did mention it, WHAT EVER!

"Silent Hill" was ok, not too scary though, pretty weird, it was based on the game "Silent Hill" right? Because it sure seems like a game at some points.

"Ghost Ship" was a great horror movie, but I saw it when I was younger, so I guess it might be a bit dull now. Weird and pretty bad ending what I remember.

"The Night Flier" is another ok horror movie (story by Stephen King I think, but what isn't anyways?). Could have been better with the effects and stuff, but it must have been from the early 90s I think.

I saw some new re-make of the movie "The Boogeyman", made it a bit harder to fall asleep, not the best of movies though, just a classic.

I liked "The Village", I disagree with some in this topic, I thought it was scary from time to time. (Saw it a while back though, might be less scary now)

"The Descent" I think was the name of a great horror movie with a great ending which really surprised me. Watch it. Now. I mean it.

There are like millions of other horror movies I liked, but the I never remember the names...(And I probably just forgot some as well) I've rented horror movies and started watching them only to see that I've already seen them before (this has happened a bunch of times... )

So like...hi

I have come up with some more that I like:

Signs - There are some amazing moments in the movie. 1st. is when Mel walks out amongst his crops to find an alien foot dissapear in the crops. 2nd is when Mel's daughter says there's a monster outside her window. When Mel puts her to bed, he looks out and sees an alien standing on the roof of the barn starring at him (You can only scim the alien in the dark) 3rd and most disturbing is the newscast where an alien is spotted at a childs birthday party.
.... A mustwatch.

Ghost Ship (True Zeth, it's great) A big cruise getting robbed and murdered by a group of robbers. It turns out that the mastermind behind the raid is a soul-collector sent by Satan.

Virus - A tugboat and it's crew are sent out to a HUGE abandoned russian scientist-ship. An alien lifeform has taken over the technology and suddenly the crew gets attacked by evil robots.. A must see.

Wrong Turn - Misshapen people hunting people who enters the woods. A great movie but more of a gore-movie than horror

House of Wax - A great movie especially because you get to see Paris Hilton getting butchered.

I am Legend - Totally agree. A must see..

Others I can remember:

An American Haunting..
House on the Haunted Hill..
Jeepers Creepers 1-2..
The Haunting..

i'll write if I can come of anymore.

While what you say is true, I never said that all of Michael Moore's movies are GOOD, in the traditional sense of the word. They just bring up a lot of interesting talking points and bring to light many things that may have been overlooked. I watch them more for the big picture than the biased propaganda.

But from a strictly movie-loving non-political standpoint, Moore's movies ARE better. They just are. He makes documentaries for a living and he's very good at it. Expelled was Stein's first real venture into the movie-making business. He's been an actor in a few small roles before but never behind the camera.

But don't even get me started on Ben Stein. He is FAR less intelligent than people have been led to believe and I've lost all respect for him.

I love Michael Moore's movies. He's a prophet of our times.
But they were never meant to be scary.
You perceive them in an out-of-the-ordinary way.

I don't really get scared by movies, but the last one that truly scared me was Rose Red (I was like 15 at the time). 4 hrs and 14 mins long, and I started watching it at like 10pm..... It was a great film

I used to shit bricks during every horror movie I watched when I was younger, but for some reason, no matter what, I don't get scared watching most movies. Some of them do keep me up at night, though.

The Ring 2. Brix were shat.

I had these on my list, but after watching them again: everyone needs to see Jacob's Ladder. Also, check out Cube if you're into some heavy gore. And I can't say it enough, watch The Shining -- just an epic win of a movie.

Lack of Saw fans in WG I see

I don't know that many people who are fans of Saw anyway.
I liked them, sure, but I wasn't very inspired.

I enjoy the Saw movies even if they are a bit all over the place in terms of directors/producers. But to me it isn't really a "scary" movie.

Not really easy to get scared, i more or less get a laugh out of sudden acts of violence, but to add to the already long list that people have produced, Thirteen ghosts, black dog and...The castle (H)

Saw 1 was actually my favorite movie for awhile.. it really was excellent, although not scary. It was great in terms of plot with an amazing ending IMO. I watched 1-5 but saw 3 was the finale for me, the rest of them sucked =\.

I liked the first Saw, checked out the second Saw, didn't have time for the third Saw... and they lost me ever since.

I don't normally get "scared" by movies in the sense of being kept up at night or anything.

I'm just really jittery so the sudden pop-out scares always get me, and I just hate that feeling.

So really bad horror movies are scary to me because those tactics.

But some films that are classified as horror that I love are most definitely the SAW series. The first two were amazing (the second is by far my favorite) and 3-5 weren't anything great to be honest. The sixth however was a breath of fresh air (in the sense that it was actually decent, HA!).

Paranormal Activity was very fun to watch, but wasn't really scary. The scariest bit is probably the ending, and that's so short-lived it's hard to actually be scared.

I shat bricks when I watched Amityville Horror. I was literally looking around corners, not going into dark rooms, I was just scared out of my mind. It's hilarious looking back now, but damn I was scared.

Quarantine, I found to be quite a good film. Not really scary, although the one pop-up scare at the end made me yell in the theater, haha. I just found it was a really good movie. I love how it escalates and just keeps rolling, it's one huge snowball of madness, haha.

Most however have been named already.

The Shining
The Ring 1 & 2 (although after Scary Movie 3/4, I can't take either of these movies seriously, I just keep thinking about their counterparts, haha.)
The Grudge (didn't finish it)

Seriously?

You people think "ghost ship" and "the exorcist" are scary movies?

Blair witch project
