THE RING was the best one I've seen lately.
THE SIXTH SENSE was the other best one I've seen lately. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, just because it's... great. NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, PART III, because I worked in a mental hospital... working with teenagers... when that movie came out. It's set in a mental hospital for teenagers. 28 DAYS, the OTHER other best one I've seen lately. |

For one reason or another, most horror movies don't do anything for me. These five, however, chilled me to the bone:
Jaws The Thing (John Carpenter version) The Fly (David Cronenburg version) The Tenant Alien Runners-up: Frankenstein The Invisible Man

Is Horror a Sub-Genre of Suspense?
Dressed To Kill - Cuz I like DePalma & Hate Razors
The Omen - For the Soundtrack Funny Games - Sickening and Revolting Dawn of the Dead - Social Commentary Aliens - For the FX

lissener, you saw 'Salo'? I've heard about it and will never see it. I mean, there's sick and then there's sick !!
'Men Behind The Sun' is also waaay off my must see list. Session 9 The Changeling The Shining Psycho Alien I also nominate the music from 'Halloween' and 'The Amityville Horror'. |
