Oracle Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 QUOTE (Ovningskora @ Feb 27 2012, 03:40 AM) Poltergeist is good Unfortunately, the first Poltergeist is the only one worth watching. That could have been a great franchise. Speaking of Blair Witch Project, if anybody wants a good "found footage" film, go for "The Poughkeepsie Tapes". It's based on true events of a serial killer in Poughkeepsie, New York and is actually pretty interesting. It really explores how the inner mind of a serial killer works, what they do to their victims, and why they murder. Plus it's from my favorite director, John Erick Dowdle.

For some reason I just never got around to seeing it. One of those movies where I always heard good stuff about and how I must see it, but I kinda forgot about it until the other week I found the dvd in the bargain bin so I picked it up. Definitely worth the five bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireBiscuits Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) First off, I have to say to the OP, I can understand your frustration with horror films to a certain point. However, if you just dig a little bit you will find a wealth of quality horror films. It just takes a little effort. Maybe someday the most marketable and popular horror movies will be good ones, but for now, this is what horror fans have to do. So even if on the surface, it seems like they are all about gore, that's not always the case. And as a horror fan, I have to say in your original post you were too hard on the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. I apologize in advance to all the Friday the 13th and Halloween fans, but Nightmare on Elm Street to me, was always a cut above the rest. Because of the dream element and an great actor playing an original and creative villain with personality and a demented sense of humor, they were able to go places other slasher movies couldn't. Especially with the pyschological element, Freddy literally gets into your head and makes your worst nightmare a reality. I would recommend you giving those movies a second chance. My personal favorites are the original Nightmare on Elm Street, Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and Wes Craven's re-imagining (which is darker and a bit more psychological) New Nightmare. Okay, so enough of that, here's some other horror movies I would recommend, while trying not to mention movies that have already been listed: -The Shadow of the Vampire: This movie has an incredible cast, John Malkovich and Willem Dafoe- Dafoe is unrecognizable in his role as the vampire, he gives an incredible performance. -The Mist: Some gore, but more on the psychological side. It's one of the Stephen King adaptations that actually works. -Rosemary's Baby: Very creepy, classic psychological horror. -The Host: Monster movie/drama from South Korea that is far from being just about the creature- who's design is excellent by the way. -[REC]: One of the scariest horror movies I've seen in years, an excellent Spanish take on the zombie story. -The Exorcism of Emily Rose: Half courtroom drama, half demon possession movie and it works surprisingly well. Jennifer Carpenter gives an awesome performance. -Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon: An awesome horror slasher mockumentary with a nice dark sense of humor. -Se7en: If you haven't seen this you are missing out, I can't say enough good things about this film. -American Psycho: Christian Bale's best performance in my opinion. -Misery: Excellent psychological horror and the reason I'm terrified of Kathy Bates.

Some of my favorite cheesy horror movies are Dead Alive, Bad Taste, Black Sheep, Dead Snow, Galaxy of Terror, The Lost Boys, Feast, The Kingdom of the Spiders, Lake Placid and Tremors.
