Top 5 Horror film moments

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 06:07 PM

Title says it all

I love horror films. I love good horror movies and I love some of the really bad horror movies. Deciding which ones I love the most is almost impossible. Sometimes a horror flick is just great all the way through, other times a really awful film will have a moment of pure genius, or just do something completely different that leaves me thinking, wow, how'd they think of that?

I'm curious to know what people rate as the top five moments in Horror.

For me, kind of difficult, and the list is likely to change according to current mood, but:

1) The morgue scene when West reanimates a corpse and all hell breaks loose. I love the humour in that scene....and the inevitability of the results.

2)Evil Dead: The cine film flickering on the screen.

3)Bodymelt: When a woman is terrorised by her own placenta (cool movie)

4)Tetsuo: When we see the creature he has become, in all its horror.

5)Trauma: When Brad Douriff's character is decapitated by a descending lift. It's just such an unusual way to kill off a character. As he is held with his head over the lift shaft, looking up at the descending lift coming towards him....awesome.

For me it is

1) Poltergheist: When a scary ghost monster blocks the mother from entering the children's room. That scared me to death!

2) The Entity: When she is running a bath and the doors to the bathroom slam shut. I think my mind was damaged from watching that movie!

3) Alien: When they are in the derelict ship and looking at the dead fossilized alien in the chair. For some reason that really scared me.

4) The Grudge: The part where the evil ghost is spreading across the ceiling and it looks like hair.

5) Jaws: At the beginning when the lady is swimming and the shark gets her.

That film is one of the very few horror films that actually scared me :P I watched it in bed, alone, with the light off, and my dog was spending the night at my ex's house.....The bit where the sister's phone rings and she hears that awful, awful sound....eww.

I need to change my number 2.

2. Still Evil Dead, but the bit where the rushing, roaring evil is racing towards the house.

Have you seen the original japanese versions? They didn't have the good special effects but they were scary. There were four of them I think.

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 06:31 PM

Oh yeah. The orignal ring was awesome. The bit where the girl crawls out of the tv, has to be one of the most terriying pieces of cinema ever.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (The original version): The scene at the dinner table when they zoom in on the girl - the look in her eyes is just....

There are others but that one creeps me out the most.

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 06:33 PM

There are so many superb moments in that film. When carries her back inside and then puts her on the hook. That freaked me out a lot.

There were also four japanese movies called ju-on which is the grudge. Same director and everything.
The ring movies were good but only the first ones. The first japanese one was good and so was the american one. I didn't like the sequel and I didn't care much for the korean version called ring virus.

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 06:38 PM

ahhh I haven't seen ju-on. I shall acquire copies.

I wasn't so keen on the second Ring either. The first was stylish though. Both versions

That sounds like something that warrants a visit to the doctor.

When Paris Hilton gets a pole through the face in House of Wax. She died on hers knees, an appropriate position for her.
And in one of the Freddy movies when a kid gets a giant cotton swab in one ear and out the other.
In terms of scaryness: when I watched The Exorcist at age 12, the girl spinning her head around freaked me the hell out!

After seeing that film you should see a doctor for depression because it was so bad.

hehehe then i may just give that one a miss:P

duck_duck · 04-10-2007, 07:18 PM

I just remembered another one that really scared me!

It was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Her friend was staying the night with her to help her out and he woke up seeing her on the floor frozen in this bizarre contorted position and she was staring right at him unblinking!

DanaC · 04-10-2007, 07:21 PM

I must see that film. You just reminded me of a film that scared me witless when I was a kid. Audrey Rose. Really affected me badly. I was terrified I might die in a fire :P When she is hammering her hands on the window and screaming and the palms are blistering. Woo.
