BEST Horror Movies (poll to follow)

[REC] was remade into Quarantine in the US - almost a direct copy.

[REC]2 went in a much different and interesting direction than Quarantine 2 - a direction that was quite surprising.

I did not enjoy Quarantine 2. Maybe it's my hatred of Airports, or the movies itself, but I found it barely watchable.

Still need to see Rec 2

An American Werewolf in London

28 Days Later

Drag Me to Hell

Three great movies. I liked 28 Weeks later too. It caught a lot of criticism, but I think it was due to the original redefining the genre and being exceptionally awesome.

Drag Me to Hell is on par with all of Raimi's movie work in that it is awesome and well done on all fronts.

I think an honorable mention should go to Dracula. Not the Todd Browning version, the Francis Ford Coppola version.

It was the only one to stay true to the book.

Zombie Honeymoon, Club Dread, and CASTLE FREAK!

Nothing better than eating bugs in a jail cell.

Miss Lucy's suitors were so silly, stereotyped, and cartoonish it almost ruined it for me, but other than that it was overall well done, well cast, and, for the most part, well acted.

It had some fantastic actors: Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman,.....Keanu

It followed the book pretty darned closely.

Some of the scenes in dracula's castle were cinematically awesome.

True that.

I think the book played them all off as stereotypes of themselves, so to that degree I thought it was dead on.

The repressed Victorian sexuality, the out right xenophobia, the impotence of the male characters (in satiating the lust of Lucy), were all fantastic standards of the era, and the literature up to that point.

All in all it the book was an excellent example of social phobias being exerted through cryptic analogy that was lost on a modern audience.

I disagree... in other words.

They were hokey in the book, I was glad they were not refined for the movie.

+1 for Night of the Living Dead and John Carpenter's The Thing (altho the original Thing From Outer Space would have beat it if it weren't for the last three minutes). I would also vote for Re-Animator and The Dunwich Horror.

I can't believe nobody brought up my all time favorite: Young Frankenstein.

But the most horrific movie of all time; A Very Brady Sequel. Just the sight of the marquee poster had me running from the theatre screaming.

.....OK Tex. I'll buy that.

Troll 2 has to be mentioned as by far the worst movie ever since it falls under the "horror" genre.

I have to disagree, troll 2 was at least watchable, any of the films featured on MST3K are much worse.

 

[cheezydemon3]

......worse?

Troll 2 is in color, when they should have known better, lol.

Thanks all.
