Most terrifying horror film?

Postby perdike » Thu Jul 03, 2008 10:50 am

Not being a big fan of horror films, I saw one earlier this year (on Tv) which was SO terrifying I resorted to turning off the sound and partially covering my eyes. An Australian movie, called 'WOLF CREEK', loosely based on several outback murders which occurred there in the past decade. MAN, I will NEVER go touring in the Aussie outback (except in a convoy. . . maybe). Anyone else seen it?

What is the most frightening film you've ever seen?

The excorcist - I was 15 when it came out and I had to lie about my age to get in and travel to another town as mine wouldn't show it. I wished I had never seen it............

Makes me think of 'Craggy Island', when the banned film was rumoured to be coming to the local fleepit, denouced by all the denizens of respectability. Result . . . cinema sold out as never before nor since!

I don't know about most terrifying, but I do have a most nauseating horror film. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (recent version). I wasn't really scared but I did feel like I was going to throw up almost the whole way through that film, and I'm not particularly squeamish...Definitely won't be watching that again...

Makes you wonder who should be locked up out of society's way. What sort of minds happily recreate such carnage?

Tell me about it…

These type of films aren't really my cup of tea, but my friends thought it would be fun way to spend two hours...oh how wrong they were... :roll:

Whay about SAW ??? That was a good film but very gory. I also liked Silence of the lambs - though not strictly horror.

Quite another sort of horror . . . the choice the Meryl Streep character had to make in "Sophies Choice". Actually, I read the book first, and it is still one of the most horrifying predicaments I can imagine for a human being. The mother (in this case) on arriving at a concentration camp being forced by an "officer" to choose which of her two children to live, which one to die. If she didn't choose one, both children would die.
No wonder that character was unable to live with herself for the rest of her life (which wasn't long, anyway).
