    Sometimes there's a movie you just can't touch for fun

    Mine is Pet Cemetary .. really *kitten* creeps me out

    Was literally talking about this with my DH last week when the show came on the tv. Still can't watch it again. Creepy, creepy, creepy!

    I think The Exorcist is only scary if you hold certain religious beliefs. I found the whole film spectacularly boring.

    The Shining I actually laughed at certain points as it was so ridiculous. Jack Nicholson's worst performance by a country mile... so over-the-top!

    You sound just like Rex Reed! LoL
    (depending on yr age you may have to google or Wiki Rex Reed)

    Oh snap! Guy at work just mentioned Guillermo del Toro which reminded me of Pan's Labrynth (amaaaaazing!!) and The Devil's Backbone (pretty amazing if you don't mind subtitles)

    I love that movie!!!!!!!!!

    The Omen. Plays with your mind. I watched that late at night on my own. I couldn't look in the mirror while cleaned my teeth. I slept with one eye open.

    I tend to go for horror which leaves me feeling genuinely unsettled afterward. With that in mind, here's my list, in no particular order:

    -The Poughkeepsie Tapes
    -The Devil's Rejects
    -House of 1000 Corpses
    -The Green Inferno
    -Cannibal Holocaust
    -The Human Centipede
    -The Human Centipede II
    -A Serbian Film
    -Alone With Her

    I'll post more as they come to me, but I'm an avid horror fanatic and particularly am a fan of the "Torture Porn" genre.

    Finally someone else who is familiar with a Serbian Film! Though honestly I'm not sure I'd admit watching it to many people irl. That is one disturbing movie!

    For sure, I'd probably put that on a very short list of the most *kitten* up movies I've ever watched. I loved it for that - something that can leave me feeling genuinely unsettled for days afterward is a powerful piece.

    I refuse to watch Cannibal Holocaust because animals were slain during the filming; intentionally so, not just a case of "Oops a horse got hurt that scene and it's the 1970's so who cares if we kill it now?"

    If you are considering watching this film, be aware. I cannot personally abide such needless cruelty and am very happy we live in a kinder, more enlightened time.

    I understand that viewpoint, but given that it was made ~40 years ago and can now be torrented pretty readily (so as not to contribute to the filmmaker's estate), can't it now be studied as a piece of film history? It's not like watching it makes those animals any more dead (as crass as that may sound).

    Indeed. And I must admit that I'm comfortable overlooking that a cow of some sort is killed in Apocalypse Now, which is among the greatest films of all times IMHO. It's just different in Cannibal Holocaust, gratuitous and lacking the meaningfulness of the cow juxtaposed with Sheen's killing of Brando in Apocalypse Now. The turtle really bothers me for some reason...

    For me, the meaninglessness of the violence in Cannibal Holocaust was the meaning. It felt viscerally real, because there was absolutely no point other than the cruel depictions of death. That alone felt more realistic to me than virtually any other movie.

    If anyone has any ideas/suggestions..

    I attend this horror flick get together each year around Halloween. We each randomly pick a horror genre & have a year to select a good example of that movie, then we drink and show our picks & vote on em & stuff (I'm a serious horror buff). So I've never won, the closest I've come is 2nd one year when I showed Night of the Creeps for the "B-Movie" category. This year I have "Vampires." I'm thinking of showing Stakeland-- but idk. I think my competition might prefer Near Dark. I'm the one in the group who likes dark/artsy/twisted/scenic stuff, so I never consider my audience enough. Can't show Let the Right One In (dammit!) cuz it was shown another year in a different category. Also, because they've all seen it, Afflicted & 30 Days of Night are outta the running. Okay, sorry, long-winded. My question is:

    Any good Vampire hidden gems out there?

    I have seen "The Lost Boys" so many times that I pretty much know it line for line, but that doesn't exactly count as a "hidden gem". Let The Right One In is an absolute must-see but you mentioned that of course...Shadow of the Vampire is great too. Unfortunately if you don't like the glittery romantic kind of vampire, there's not a huge selection.

    Ha, yeah I love the Lost Boys. Death by Stereo. Lol. But unfortunately we've all seen that a million times. I'll check out Shadow of the Vampire, thanks!

    I told my brother I was watching it (he is really into horror movies and his wife is an immigrant from Serbia) and he told her and she said to me that she could give me a list of much nicer Serbian movies lol.
