MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
as above really.
any good un's to watch (i used to watch loads of them back in the late 80's 90's.
i like psychological horror/gore e.t.c
ta 🙂
At this time of day my mood should suffice for horror
Might help if you eliminate a few obvious choices
Ring, The Grudge etc
REC - a spanish one
have seen the ring/grudge (japanese films) also some of the saw films/silent hill.
really thinking something obscure tbh
something weird it can be too.
doesn't have to be purely horror either.
will be watching rec (it sounds like a good film)
i like anything from prince of darkness to re-animator/from beyond/demons e.t.c am trying to think of some good psychological horrors i've seen also (i thought twin peaks fire walk with me was great/anything by david lynch/chronenburg also tbh 🙂

Berberian Sound Studio sounded good (just added to my list to watch)
A list of the more recent releases, sounds like you need to ask Mark Kermode....
The Descent one of the best Ive seen in years, really claustrophobic and intense. Avoid US-release version (different ending) and the sequel.
Eden Lake has a nice social-comment undertone to it.
Martyrs (French) excellent horror with a twist. Great film and pretty brutal
Pan's labyrinth
Return of the living dead (frick'n amazing 80's flick)
Hellraiser
The last house on the left (original)
All the early 'hammer movies' are worth a revisit
One of the best horror flicks IMO is Blair witch, the extras sell the movie well. Most hate it but they don't get the imaginative horror. They would rather see cgi than shadows. I was also the same ... When I was 12
A Tale of Two Sisters. But you won't understand the ending, utterly mental.
Rec is great. best/scariest one of those "found footage" type films that i've seen. i have the 2 sequels lined up to watch.
Sinister was quite good as well, i thought.
I haven't seen Mama yet but Guillermo Del Toro was involved so it may be decent, and a new one i was told about yesterday called The Wicked looks like it might be okay too (good IMDB score so far anyway).
Event Horizon scared the willies out of me.
APF
It sounds like "Eraserhead" would satisfy. One of David Lynch's creations. Mild horror value & deeply disturbing 🙂
Let me know how you get on.
D.
Wolf Creek.
Had me genuinely squirming in places...
Worth checking out Dead snow. The old boy trilogy too.
Have you seen Cube and sequels?
Cube 2 is a bit meh but Cube 0 was good.
Battle Royale? Japanese - not horror specifically, but pretty nasty concept.
A lot of good [url= http://www.imdb.com/list/8txFAcBLcUo/ ]Asian[/url] stuff - proper creepy
the eye, original
devils backbone
cronos
the host
ju on
dark water
in my skin
anatomy
that should keep you going for a while
Audition was recommended to me but I don't like horror
+1 for Wolf Creek, Cronos, Devil's Backbone.
I'd also venture: The Orphanage, Drag me to Hell, Anti-Christ (but be prepared to be weirded out, and to cross your legs in empathy). Pandorum was a weird piece of Sci-fi horror.
Silent House was a bit crap, so I wouldn't recommend that. Dead Snow is entertaining.
Man Bites Dog?
Oh, and Martyrs is about as disturbing a piece of film-making as I have seen for a while.
thanks for the replies (some of them i have seen).
i loved the original cube film (really original concept for a film).
as for eraserhead i happened to wake up to it being on my tv at about 3am (i used to drink/had left the tv on whilst i fell into a drunken stupor) man was that a mind funk or what 😆
will definitely give the ones i haven't yet seen a go 🙂
thanks
oh and just finished watching the rec film (short but very good imho/definitely one of the best pov/doc type type horror's i have seen 🙂
Martyrs is about as grim as it gets. Possibly slightly more on the thriller than true horror but properly gruesome (French BTW).
Delicatessen (also French) is good.
Cheers
Danny B
I thought that Insidious had some original ideas and at least one image that stills haunts me today. Which is what you're going in for with a horror film I guess. Oh, and a completely incongruous comic turn in the middle that was so stupid I loved it.
The Loved ones - Aussie made pyscho creep out
Delicatessen is one of my fave films, never considered it a horror though. Eraserhead weirded me out for days.
Guinea Pig - The Devils Experiment.
If you like gore this should suffice.
A work colleague loaned me this film which spanned over 4 discs I think.
Got 20 minutes into the first one then knocked it off.
Not my cup of tea. Horrible.
Phantasm, classic late 70's film?
Or one i sort of saw as a kid but not all the way through Xtro i think it was called.
How about,
Return of the living Dead.
Chaser.
The Devils Rejects.
Vamp.
The Ring
Grudge 2 (Jap Version)
Hellraiser 2
The Hills Have Eyes
How about The Brood?
I'm not sure if it actually qualifies as a true horror film as I didn't laugh once, but The Guard Post was an interesting watch.
I like Outpost, has Nazis in it as well....
something weird it can be too.
The Long Weekend. There's two. The original is a low budget Australian movie which I watched late at night on C4 as a 16 year old. And I just found it a little bit odd, in a good and slightly freaky way. But after watching it there were always real life events that I could relate to it, which would inevitably weird me out a bit! They also remade it in recent years.
Return of the living Dead.
Yes! Probably seen it already, but one of my favourites. A classic and under-rated zombie movie.
I like Outpost, has Nazis in it as well....
Takes a bow
+1 The Brood
Another one is 'Rabid'
The loved ones.
The Brood is good, Event Horizon is very good indeed, and very underrated, and Pan's Labyrinth really creeped me out; I can't bring myself to watch it again. Del Toro is a master of the really creepy. I so want him to get on and do [i]At The Mountains Of Madness[/i], I can't think of anyone else who could do Lovecraft's books justice.
Berberian Sound Studio
Once watched Event Horizon in an 'altered mental state'. Was perhaps the most scary experience of my life.
More concerningly, I watched it is a more normal state and realised my poor little brain had made up about 15 minutes of film that didn't actually exist.
I wrote it down somewhere to send to the director as it definitely added to the plot.
As for another good actual horror try R-Point (Korean)
Cheers
Danny B
R Point.
Korean sub titled film set in the Virtnam war. Its odd but also clever in a subliminal way
Rec is a good shout although stay away from the third installment as it's beyond terrible.
The loved ones is not a bad film, bit bonkers like.
Martyrs, Frontiers and Switchblade Romance are some good French offerings.
Session 9 creeped me out.
Not really a scary horror but Ive just enjoyed watching trollhunter
Martyrs is good, check another French film called Inside.
Excision I really enjoyed, especially the dream sequences 😀
Three extremes
Ichi The Killer
Sympathy for....
Oldboy
The Chaser
Audition
Battle Royale
I Saw The Devil (Korean)
Martyrs (French)
Oldboy and Crimson Rivers aren't exactly underground, but you mightntve caught them first time around.
Don't bother with Cabin in the woods .. absolute drivel!!
Have you seen Creep? Brit flick from about ten years ago. Uncomplicated, creepy (set in London Underground) and a really quite hideous creature.
Not sure how unknown it is but I really enjoyed Sam Rami's "Drag Me To Hell".
Some interesting films on there, a few added to the list (though now we live on the edge of a forest in a detached house the wife gets pretty freaked out by any horror films! Barely been allowed to watch any...) I prefer ones which get under your skin and linger, not gore fests or jump out your seat frights.
Ones missed which I liked:
Let The Right One In - the Scandinavian one, really loved it. Not the scariest film but beautifully shot and really well done.
Stakeland - little indie flick about a vampire apocalypse (makes a change from zombies), surprised me a lot by how good it was and the climax sticks in my head somewhat.
The Road - it just got under my skin. Really quite haunting.
Wolf Creek is pretty damn Scary
The original Japanese version of Dark Water (not the pointless Hollywood remake) is properly creepy

It's more 'horror' than horror. Worth a punt.
Old Boy (again).
Audition is fairly... interesting.
And I loved the Mist - B movie feel, not gory as such, but it gets you thinking lots
The original "Dark Water" is CREEPY throughout.
Can't go wrong with a bit of David Cronenberg, or maybe if you want something really odd check out Nightbreed.
another vote for 'outpost' - great film!
'rare exports' - not gory at all, definitely more of a horror-light, but good fun.
another vote for 'outpost' - great film!
The second one is out too, not all the fans of the first one took to it but thats because its sort of a different kind of film about the same of thing, rather than a continuation of the first, although it does follow the first chronologically . The second is a bigger action/adventure/journey rather than the dank claustrophobia of the first one . A third one, which is a prequel, is in post production just now, its set in the 1940s and involves lots of fisticuffs .
another vote for 'outpost' - great film!
I downloaded Outpost II the other night, was a straight to video job, but I'm keen to see what it's like....
