Original? Loved it...not so fussed on 2 and 3. Haven't seen the remake. Same with poltergeist...haven't seen the remake...

 

Definitely NOT the remake. I saw the remake of Poltergeist. Pure ****. Why do it, no chance you're going to improve on the original. They've done a remake of Ben Hur ffs

Agree about 2 and 3 also. But the 1st Omen is edge of seat stuff at times. Only now I realise the camera angles, the range of long shots and close ups, and the lighting really make the film as creepy as ****.

I've seen a few horror (not gore) films recently but I'm struggling to think of any others I'd recommend. Sinister was ****.

'Haunting in Connecticut' is good imo.

'Exorcism of Emily Rose' is good also.

'Babadook' actually is very good.

Ok so now I can suddenly think of quite a few lol

 

Lol...that list will do!

Yeah saw the Ben Hurr reviews...I just assumed it would be like the Noah ****e..dereligionising (I made a word!) religious movies lol...why bother?

Yeah The Omen cinematography is great...like a lot of '70s movies: there was a real attempt at realism in how films were shot that decade...think it reflected the slightly dark political/economic ...pessimistic world view then.

 

Watching MI Rogue Nation. Good so far.

@DirtyFrank Hush is a decent jump scare type Horror.

 

Yeah i loved rogue nation. Thought it was excellent

 

Omen 1 and 2 were awesome. I femt they lost it a bit then.

I was under the impression they were always meant to be a series.

...

I agree. Do not renake ben hur and people ought to stop going to movies being ruined by poor remakes.

Italian job.
Ghostbusters

 

Scariest horror i ever saw was as a kid.

Clssic black and white.

The fall of the house of usher.

Mustve been 14 at most but had wicked nightmares after seeing it.

@DirtyFrank

 

A Tale of two Sisters is creepy as **** and Audition is nightmarish.

I know not strictly horror films but the Vengeance trilogy is very gory, most will only have seen Oldboy

Also Del Toro's early films, Cronos and the Devils Backbone

 

Thought MI was really good. 8/10

 

anyone else ever see that old house of usher thing?

 

No

 

I'm wondering if it was actually any good or was it just the time of night and age i was when i saw it.

These sorts of lists will always be pulled for putting films higher/lower than they should be because it's all subjective... but 1. Mullholland Drive! **** off

 

true enough, it's a good list of excellent films though for reminders of ones you haven't seen in a while and a few you haven't ever seem

 

Great film, no idea what happened but damn I enjoyed it.

 

Boyhood is overrated and I'm a fan of Linklater. A good film but nothing special.
