If you like the European Horror films, have you tried Dario Argento, an Italian director.

Susperia & Bird With The Crystal Plumage are must sees.

If you walked out of Dead Ringers, don't even think about watching either of these two...

Tetsuo and Tetsuo Two (Body Hammer), are raving mad. Imagine Ichii The Killer, if it had been scripted by Phillip K Dick on crack. These films have everything (except much of a plot in the first one): scrap metal Akira style mutations (a great mix live action and stop motion), casual slaughter, misogyny (one scene involves a woman being screwed to death with a penis that's turned into a drill), strange conspiracies, you name it. Strange flicks, but not much like anything else, particularly as both were made in the early '90s.

Another horror film everybody should see is the wonderful short of The Call Of Cthulhu a HPL fan society made. it's done as the film they'd have made of the story in the year it was written, so it's a black and white silent film, with stop motion monsters and awesome cod expressionist sets. Wonderful fun, particularly if you know your Lovecraft.


No offense Moon, but I SO wish I had skipped this post. To theshytype - I HATED Seven for the "Lust" murder.

Each to their own. I have to admit that it was sloth who made me jump in that one...

This is the film that the Blair Witch Project ripped off the found footage conceit from, but is much cleverer, has a cast who can act, is staggeringly nasty, and at no point does somebody who can't act break down in tears while wearing a noddy hat.
A Mondo film crew vanishes filming a documentary up the Amazon. The footage is recovered to find out what happened to them, and it emerges that what did isn't at all pleasant. Lots of splattery effects, but also some unfaked footage of cruelty to animals that I fround very hard to take and may well be unwatchable for many.

Thirst is an unusual Korean vampire film. Very unusual and very Korean but hugely inventive, unpleasant, and very very funny.

You'll probably have to resort to a torrent to see Crazy Family, but it's well worth tracking down. The most barking mad Japanese film of the '80s by a mile.

Another horribly nasty Korean film is Hansel And Greta. If Angela Carter, JG Ballard and Phillip K Dick had collaborated on a horror novel in the early '80s, then this is what a film version would look like thirty years later.

Freaks was awesome!!!

My brothers and I used to chant that all the time until my parents yelled at us to stop, lol.

Also scary is anything with dolls and clowns. IT by Stephen King kills me from Pennywise; I had nightmares from him.

I don't remember the name of this English film about stranded motorists who come to an old couple's mansion at night and the old man is a toy maker. He has rooms of dolls that whisper to each other at night about who they are going to kill.

I cannot even look at a doll now. Shivers.

Cannibal Holocaust? Ugh, would not go there. There are a lot
of movies that have urban legends surrounding them. But the
stories about animals being tortured and killed for this movie
are true. I would never, ever watch it. I don't want to watch faked
animal abuse much less the real thing.

I know that whispering doll movie but I'm blanking on the name.
It was creepy as hell. Another movie that has a creepy doll scene
is Bunny Lake is Missing. It's a suspense movie not a horror movie.
But there's scene that takes place at a doll hospital with Noel Coward
playing a perv that is memorable. It's a good film, black& white,
mid-sixties British film.

the 70's is another evil dummy movie. Not the greatest movie
but Hopkins performance is very good.

Status: offline 		If we're talking '60s and 70s British horror flicks, it's worth mentioning some of the raving mad stuff: films that are far too strange to just dismiss as camp. Scream And Scream Again (Vincent Price as a mad scientist, strange murders, bionic disco dancers), Psychomania (undead motorbike gang, led by him out of the "Confessions Of A..." soft porn flicks), Horror Hospital (michael Gough as a mad scientist, health farm full of lobotomised hippies and badass dwarfs, a hearse fitted with huge blaqdes to behead people as it drives past them) and Blood On Satan's Claw (a mash up of Witchfinder General and Hellraiser on really bad acid) all spring to mind...

The last two good horror movies of recent years (after 1970) was "The Howling" and "An American Werewolf in London."

As far as suspense movies, no one has come close to the master, Alfred Hitchcock, I mean you know what is about to happen just by the freaking soundtrack.

"Dressed to Kill" with Angie Dickinson and Micheal Caine came fairly close, but fell a little short.

As for Drama movies, the plots are good, but the actors aren't of the quality of the greats, Bogart, Bacall, Gable, Lombard etc. Westerns declined, not with the death of John Wayne, mediocre actor, but his presence on screen made up for it, but with the deaths of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Sam Peckinpah, John Sturges, George Marshall I could go on, but I wont.

Hollywood is full of film school graduates with little passion and no imagination.

Exaggerating much?
The tendency towards in the last ten years is both deeply crap and unlikely to produce any films better than The Human Centipede, but there's been a lot more than two decent horror films produced since 1970. Hell, if you like werewolves, what's wrong with Ginger Snaps?

I had no intention of ever watching Saw but walked through the room towards the end and then had to watch the whole thing to see how the plot had evolved to that climax.
