It's not ...I would pick A Tale of Two Sisters. It's not in-your-face scary--in fact, I don't even know if I would consider it a horror. But it's the most terrifying movie I've ever seen. I love it, I happen to own it (I got it as a gift), but it's at the very bottom of my movie collection. I get the shivers thinking about it. My next favourite would have to be The Shining and also Carrie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-29299787215003166122011-11-02T04:34:49.291+11:002011-11-02T04:34:49.291+11:00Great list.

THAT scene. *touches nose* Totally freaky and out of the blue. Have you seen "Fire Walk with Me"? It's got similar stuff. Lynch is crazy.<br /><br />Never seen all of The Wicker Man, need to rectify that.<br /><br />Never seen Funny Games either!<br /><br />I agree on Saw. Couldn't wait to share that film with others after I'd seen it.<br /><br />The Shining is great. Got a little bit of an overdose of it when we blogged about it recently, but it's still one of the best.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394045103473759585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-85216260715103849782011-11-01T12:31:23.731+11:002011-11-01T12:31:23.731+11:00It really is.

My e...@ Castor - It's so well crafted by Lynch. My expectations of seeing what I saw in that scene were 0%.<br /><br />@ Jack L - I think you would like The Wicker Man. It's a strange film, but one of the most effective films in provoking this ever-present sense of dread that I have seen. Funny Games is such an unsettling film. Along with Cache [Hidden] I think it is Haneke's best film.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-50614041318155772372011-10-31T10:18:50.033+11:002011-10-31T10:18:50.033+11:00I haven't seen Saw, The Wicker Man or Funny Ga...I haven't seen Saw, The Wicker Man or Funny Games, but I agree with you on all the others, great picks.<br /><br />The Shining is my favourite as well.

That scene is harrowing. You're not alone. Castor @ Anomalous Material is also a big fan of Mulholland Drive - it's one of his significant scares too...<br /><br />@ Aziza - Thanks. There are so many to recommend. If you haven't seen The Shining, then you are missing out - there's my recommendation. I look forward to hearing about whatever you watch! <br /><br />@ Franklin - Cheers for reading. The Shining is a classic. I did miss out on Audition - it should be there somewhere.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-73956297553437233282011-10-30T20:51:22.082+11:002011-10-30T20:51:22.082+11:00wow!!loved the list especially the shinning!!wow!!loved the list especially the shinning!!F.FRANKLINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02692945301490345769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-29874675420643398522011-10-30T19:24:12.406+11:002011-10-30T19:24:12.406+11:00Great post!As I said before, I am not a big fan of...Great post!As I said before, I am not a big fan of horror movies,I actually never watch them, but for this Halloween I will be watching one, just haven't decided which one yet!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-50590601927232815132011-10-30T17:00:02.413+11:002011-10-30T17:00:02.413+11:00I'm with Steven, AUDITION completely fucked me...I'm with Steven, AUDITION completely fucked me up, considering I saw it when I was 14.<br /><br />This is a great list you've written here.

I didn't mind The Others, and I enjoy both versions of Let the Right One In. <br /><br />@ Steven - Oh yeah. That is another memorable moment. So memorable I forgot to put it in haha. Probably ranks second in giving me the 'waking up distressed' stakes. That scene is chilling! <br /><br />@ Brian - Oh damn. I haven't had too many experiences with guessing the script, but that one I never saw coming. I hate what has happened to that franchise - even Saw II sucked - but I do enjoy the first one.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-55547656227231227362011-10-30T14:16:45.389+11:002011-10-30T14:16:45.389+11:00Silence of the Lambs, The Wicker Man and The Shini...Silence of the Lambs, The Wicker Man and The Shining are all up there in my book, too.

I don't watch much in the horror genre, because I am a wimp. :-) I did enjoy the traditional Gothic feel and the twist in The Others and I liked Let the Right One In and the American remake, Let Me In.Stephaniehttp://momto3feistykids.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-41654435784746066012011-10-30T12:00:12.692+11:002011-10-30T12:00:12.692+11:00It's true.
