Scary movie recommendations? I prefer ones that don't rely on torture.

I'm in need of two or three good scary movies for my friend and I. We've seen quite a few but are looking for some good ones,preferably some unknown ones that don't rely on that whole cringe-worthy torture that a number of horror movies are going these days (yet on the other hand I love silly over the top gore, which helps make Evil Dead 2 one of my favorites.) So for the record we've already seen all the classics and well known horror movies, and REC (probably my favorite also :P ), Session 9, Let the Right One In, and All the RING movies. Thanks for any help. :D

More Psychological..

Sixth Sense...

If you like slashers..

The Strangers..

For zombies..

Either..Dawn of the Dead or Zombieland

Even though it was not scary I watched Donnie Darrko last night. That movie was creepy/odd and I don't get what happend at all :(

the saw series. lol i dont even bother watching them.

Try Audition. It creeped me out.

Nightmare on Elm Street.

The only scary movies that have ever scared me were

-the sixth sense (i was little)

-silent hill

and

-the strangers.

those are my favorites and I've watched them all a couple times.

Try:

Black Sheep ( killer sheep )

Stuck ( a man hit by a car and left to die, stuck in the windshield )

Body Melt ( a strange Australian movie about a health club that promotes a deadly vitamin supliment)

August Underground

I just saw Paranormal Activity. Pretty decent. I also recently saw Pandorum. Not horror so much, but it had some pretty tense moments.wstfld

oh ya, pandorum kind of had the weird decent feel to it. not really scary but intense.

The Exorcist

I didn't really like Paranormal Activity. I found myself laughing more than I did being on the edge of my seat.

Some good ones are Mirrors, The Sixth Sense, or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

I like event horizon... tends to have good balance of several horror elements. Some people seem to have a problem w/ the pacing which tends to be a bit slow, and story based than most horror films.

Psycho (the original)

The Strangers

The Exorcist

The Descent (2005)

The Ring

Paranormal Activity

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original, 1970 something)

Saw 1 (it was by far the best one)

Halloween (Jamie lee curtis version)

-These are just some

if you want creepy rather than gory then The Shining, Signs, Paranomal Activity, if you can put up with subtitles Then the *** version of The Ring (much much much more better than the tripe of a remake.You could also tryQuarantine its an american remake ofthe Spanish film REC i own both and its copied shot for shot so you can save yourself subtitles and fortunatley has not suffered the usual American remake rubbish. The origonal Psycho or another Hitchcock classic The Birds. The origonal Amityville Horror.

I find that the films I have mentioned are very good andgive a goodcreepy atmosphere which is where modern horrors are going wrong imo blood and guts are not scary its what suggested and what you dont seethat makes a good horror.

Try:

Black Sheep ( killer sheep )

Stuck ( a man hit by a car and left to die, stuck in the windshield )

Body Melt ( a strange Australian movie about a health club that promotes a deadly vitamin supliment)

Laid to Rest and Hatchett are two VERY over-the-top gory horror thillers.

Orphan

Alien and Aliens are pretty freaking scary. I called every thing in Aliens before it happened, and I was still scared ****less.

You are into horrors Hopeless, I didn't know. I personally didn't like The Strangers, it was supposed to be a "True Story" but hardly anything made any damn sense. Especially all the teleporting the three killers were doing. Zombieland I dont think is a good recommendation at all for a scary movie, I didn't find it scary. Maybe it was just me.

I personally like Darkness Falls, that's a pretty good one. It's about a being known as the Toothfairy. She kills anyone that's in the dark. It may not sound like much, but I watched it many times.

If you haven't seen it, Hellraiser is a very good horror movie. Most should know of Pinhead by now, and how damn scary this guy is.

"Fear dot com" is another great movie about...well, just watch it :P

Thirteen Ghosts is another good one, the remake, not the lame original. This movie is about a guy who manages to trap 13 really powerful spirits in a glass house. A family ends up inheriting it and that's where the troubles start ;)

You may want to check out "Satan's Little Helper" as well. It's a very disturbing movie, but no torture. This one is really interesting. It's about some sadistic stupid kid that cant tell from fiction and reality. He is obsessed with Satan and meets this killer who he thinks is the real Satan. So he kind of helps him kill people.

You cant go wrong with a classic like Children of the Corn. Children of the Corn is about creepy Amish kids that kill people, what could be scarier? Oh, right, Pinhead ;)

"Wicked Little Things" was a great Horror Fest movie a few years back. Two words: Zombie Children.

The Hills Have Eyes is a great movie as well, but it does have torture elements in it. But both movies (Talking about the remakes) have a huge pay off in the end. Makes it worth watching.

Keep in mind, some of these movies you may not like. I tend to be fairly open minded when it comes to this genre. I dont waste time with crap though, none of the movies I recommended are that bad.

Fantastic supernatural horror/thriller

SaintLeonidas

Hmm, never heard of that one before. I'll have to look it up.

The Eye (original version) and The Eye 2

Orphan

RobboElRobbo

Blah, I hated that movie. Though this was funny as hell

In that case you should see Hostel 1 and 2.xTheExploited

I think Final Destination is good. One is the best, but 2,3, or The F.D. are good

DISTURBIA. Butt load of jumpy moments in that one :PKrayzieJay

On a more serious note I think you should check out the recent Spanish film The Orphanage.Jazz_Fan
