Event Horizon was d**n good... Identity was decent... Feast was sweet....others that were good are...Wrong Turn, Evil Dead 1 and 2, John Carpenters Vampires, The Beast Within, and Darkness Falls.

try some of those out Mike.

EVIL DEAD 2 is one of my all time favs!!! =) I would rate it as more funny than horror but I am desensitized

Agreed

Evil Dead 1 needed to be seen with an audience, that experience was GREAT! Evil Dead 2 was fun! Wrong Turn had a few good moments and Eliza Dushku! Vampires was ok. Feast was pretty gory and unpredictable and it had Krista Allen!

ALSO: Slither was gory, and it had a little something for everyone to enjoy! Sure to be a classic!

The rest I haven't seen.

The Beast Within is a true Drive-In(anyone remember those?) classic.....I remember Joe Bob Briggs hosting Monstervision on TNT back in the late 90's showing movies like this it was awesome

I'm not sure what you would classify this as but The Clockwork Orange was another movie in the disturbing category

I'll second that on Slither, WTIC.

I reread a list of favorites I posted on the "Favorite Horror Movie" thread from last Halloweeen. Here's the cheap cut and paste job:



In no particular order:

THE EXORCIST (Hands down the most frightening movie ever made.)

THE EXORCIST III (AKA Legion. A very underrated sequel.)

NIGHT, DAWN, AND DAY OF THE DEAD (I like zombies. Romero is the man. We've talked about this already. Next.)

PET SEMETARY (The most effective Stephen King horror adaptation.)

THE SHINING (More Kubrick's vision than King's...Dick Halloran's explanation of things that "shine" is awesomely chilling.)

THE GATE (A childhood favorite. I always wanted a pet 'Minion' after seeing this one.)

LORD OF ILLUSIONS (A tad dated, but still bada$s.)

NIGHTBREED (Clive Barker is a twisted dude.)

THE BLOB (The seriously rad remake. I'm not kidding. The remake is rad. Seriously.)

PSYCHO (Classic. 'Nuff said.)

CREEPSHOW (You're not alone Ashby. Who doesn't enjoy seeing a murderous Leslie Neilson getting done in by Ted Danson-zombie?)

EVIL DEAD (Low budget at it's f'n finest.)

POLTERGEIST (three words: respect Zelda Rubenstein.)

EVENT HORIZON (Looks like all of us appreciate this beaut.)

ALIEN (Only the first one was true horror...and probably the best sci-fi horror flick ever made.)

THE THING (Carpenter's version - good call Werner.)

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (Great movie all around....Oldman is a beast.)

THE DEVIL'S REJECTS (Realistic stuff always gets me...and the soundtrack rocks. Funny, I hated House of 1,000 Corpses.)

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (The original...when Freddy hadnt gotten 'cute' yet.)

DEAD ALIVE (Peter Jackson + Zombies = A Gory Good Time!)

FEAST (A recent addition. Couldn't ask for a smarter script.)

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON - (I saw this flick when I was like 8 years old and it scared the SHlT (gotcha ) out of me for about three nights straight. Gotta love that ending too. )


ADDED SINCE LAST TIME:

THE DESCENT - (Seriously original stuff. An all female cast, cool monsters, and a dark, claustrophic feeling throughout. Top-notch horror.)

This is a top notch list Osk.. nicely done.

[squire]

One of the most disturbing movies I have seen in recent years was Hostile. From a purely psychological perspective, it just messed with me. I'm never going to eastern europe...ever.

My all time favorite horror film is Hellraiser. I agree with Osk, Barker is one messed up dude.
The Exorcism of Emily Rose wasn't bad.
Ditto on Event Horizon.
The Hills Have Eyes...Both versions are good.
Silence of the Lambs, maybe not considered horror, but a great movie nonetheless.
Annnd a classic, Rosemarie's Baby.

There are a ton more but I'd be typing all night long. =)
