Both underrated masterpieces.
'Videodrome' still holds up. That movie creeped me out.

Borat was definitely a shocking horror of a movie

I liked this one, i like lots of horrors but this one will affect sleep for a long time especially if you are a kid losing your teeth.

I've never seen it! I know which you're talking about though, read reviews and it always looked compelling. Will definitely watch now, thanks.

I'm not too big on horror usually, but Suspiria is an exception. It's brilliant.

Gremlins is a scary flim or no?

Eh, some would classify it as "horror." I personally view it more as a comedy, but I am pretty sure if you were to buy it, it would be in the horror section

I tried watching it years ago. I just couldn't really get into "Suspira." No offense, it's considered a horror classic, but it just wasn't for me. Thanks for the input.

Perhaps I'm a little biased. It is my best friend's favorite movie after all. I wonder if I'd like it as much if I wasn't enthusiastically introduced to it.

Well, like I said, it is considered a horror classic. You hear it typically mentioned along with "The Exorcist," "Omen" and "Amityville Horror." So, it's a movie considered good by most. Something about "Suspira" just never grabbed my interest... Maybe I should revisit it. It has been many years ago since I tried to watch it.

The Blair Witch Project (while the film itself isnt great the viral marketing that built it up was awesome)

For me, this was fantastic for the following reasons....

Before it came out, there was a (bogus) documentary done on the Sci-Fi channel that delved into "the case" and treated it as if it were real. It was really a mockumentary before there was such a thing. Seeing this first, really made you think this whole deal was real....so when seeing it in the theater (the first day, so before the spoilers), it was a completely unique experience in terror, because we fell for it.

Only researching it after the movie, did I realize I'd been had...hehe.

I love horror movies though, and there are SO many good ones. Recently, Insidious has really impressed me.

Agree all around. I also thought Sinister was effectively horrific.

a reply to: yeahright

Yep, another good one.

I especially love Biblical horror movies though too, like the Omen, the Exorcist, etc. Seventh Sign was another underrated one.
I loved Prince of Darkness too (think that was the title, John Carpenter). Of course the Shining (though slow in the beginning), Poltergeist, etc.

The Ring and Ring Two really creeped me out also. Darkness Falls was excellent too. Kind of sci-fi, but I always see Event Horizon as a horror movie. Glad someone mentioned Mouth of Madness.
