What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

I recently saw The Devil's Rejects and From Dusk Till Dawn.. both way out there with lots of serial killings, terrific gore, and savage evil people. Good stuff, can't believe I missed them when they first came out.

Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) did two excellent gore movies early in his career which are hilarious.. Bad Taste and Dead Alive. Dead Alive has to have one of the most over-the-top bloodletting scenes of all time involving a guy wielding a lawnmover against a house full of undead.

I've also enjoyed reliving all the classic zombie movies with my teenage son.. Dawn of the Dead holds up pretty good after all these years.

What are some other really graphic horror movies you enjoy? I'm looking for more movies to add to my blockbuster queue.

To this day this movie scared the [censored] out of me:

Dark Night and the Scarecrow

P.S. apologize for the first link posting (which was incorrect)

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

There have been some pretty disturbing films recently that -- even if they're not great -- are just sick and downbeat enough to leave you pretty shaken for a while: the two I'm thinking of are WOLF CREEK and THE DESCENT.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Blade II, or really, any Guillermo del Toro besides Hellboy(a good movie, just not a gory horror movie)

I would bet that House of 1,000 Corpses would fit together with Devil's Rejects.

Hostel

Jacob's Ladder

And basically anything directed by David Cronenberg

Edit: My favorite horror movie is the original Nightmare on Elm Street, fwiw.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

I loved The Devil's Rejects.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Check out Cannibal Holocaust if you are looking for some gore factor.

Favorite horror movie though? Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a real classic.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Seriously disturbing? Funny Games

Cheesy but horrifyingly terrifying? Event Horizon

Romantic horror comedy adventure? Joyride

Good-natured goretastic fun? Evil Dead 2...if you liked Dead Alive you'll get a kick out of ED.

Smack around the face? Yes please

Ya was that freeking awesome or what!?! Rob Zombie is the man, what a talented fellow he is. Great acting throughout. I never saw 1000 corpses but my friend did, he said it was pretty lame, not even in the same league as Devil's Rejects.

I forgot about Hostel, ya that one had me creeped out too.. loved it!

And yes Evil Dead 2 is a classic. I remember watching it with friends on Halloween many years ago and we were all freaked out by it.

Absolutely! Another Michael Haneke film, The Piano Teacher, is twisted and disturbing in a completely different way. Both are excellent.

Audition and Oldboy are awesome and have been discussed here ad nauseam.

Come and See is probably the best of them all and is never really discussed anywhere from what I can tell.

And if you want a documentary, Night and Fog is the most [censored] up thing I've ever seen. Visions from it still haunt me several years later.

I actually watched this yesterday. I was super psyched cuz all I had heard was good things about it. OMG, it sucked so bad [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]


all,

I didnt like Devils Rejects at all, and I LOVED house of a 1000 corpses. Tho rejects was a much more disturbing film I will admit.

Im a texas chainsaw massacre fan, and the original exorcist still creeps me the hell out to where I avoid going to bed after watching it.

But you gotta admit, the shot of her climbing out of Plato's cave over a mountain of human and animal bones is pretty sweet.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Meh, I enjoyed Devil's Rejects (much more than House of 1000 Corpses) but I don't think either movie is really anything special. I don't mind derivative horror films for the most part (or even remakes) but Rob Zombie does it in a way where I think it takes away from enjoying the movie if you've seen a lot of the movies he's referencing and out and out ripping off.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Horror: The Changeling, The Exorcist

Gore: Ichi the Killer, Audition, Dead/Alive

Disturbing: I was 14 when I first saw the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (35 now). At the time this film had the greatest psychological impact on my then fragile little mind.

Dog Soldiers, by the guy who did The Descent is a fun movie. Special ops commandos fighting werewolves. Cannibal Holocaust is a pretty disturbing movie.

Agreed, when I was 13 or 14, TCM and Last House on the Left both upset me bad enough that I couldn't make it through them the first time. The dinner seen in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the "Piss yourself" scene in Last House on the Left both freaked me out really bad.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

Der Todesking is still the creepiest and most disurbing movie I've ever seen. My friend and I picked it up after asking the indie movie store clerk what the most f'ed up movie was for hallowe'en. The whole plot centers around a suicide chain letter. Messed up Germans at their finest.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

I hate horror films they all come off the same to me. Someone is chasing someone and no matter how slow the murderer is walking they always catch up

Then stay outa this thread biatch, you're full of caca anyway.

Everybody else, I really appreciate the movies listed, am looking forward to watching most of them.

I still think Devil's Rejects is freeking awesome.. Am surprised From Dusk Till Dawn hasn't gotten more love. Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino early in their careers, excellent movie catch it if you can. George Clooney's finest role evah!

Wow. You obviously have a great knowledge of horror films to come up with that observation. The fact is that the horror movie genre runs much deeper that Friday the 13th and Halloween (which are great flics as well, btw).

There are many reasons to dislike horror films but to say they are basically all the same demonstrates your own ignorance. The horror genre can be divided into many sub-genres each of which are very distinct from the other - zombie, action-horror, slasher, vampire, werewolf, sci-fi horror, teen, psychological, ghost/poltergeist, body snatcher, ufo, exploitation, erotic, etc...


...and of course the one where someone is chasing someone and no matter how slow the murderer is walking they always catch up.

I'm not a big Jörg Buttgereit fan, but I think Der Todesking is definitely his best. Honestly, I may not have liked his films because all I could ever find were like 4th generation vhs tapes. Now that they're probably all out on DVD I may have to check 'em out again.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre when I saw it as a kid was very disturbing for the gore.

Two movies that freaked me out scary though were Alien and Freaks. Alien is an excellent atmosphere movie where if you see it in the right context is scary as hell, but definitely loses it on TV with the lights on.

Freaks is a very old and hard to find Tod Browning film from about 1930 or so. Yeah it is old, the sound is horrible, the film is grainy, it is in B&W, etc. etc. but if you watch the movie it gets into your head at a lot of levels. Like a lot of movies, you could not make this movie today the way it was made back then but I would highly recommend it to any true movie fan.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

i think jacob's ladder is the most unnerving movie i'm watched, but it's been a LONG time. luckily i recorded an hd airing of it the other night, so i'll be watching it again soon.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

While it's a parody... Shaun of the Dead is kinda gory (I don't watch a lot of these films). Think about when the pr*ck (Rodger?) was pulled through the window and they tore open his stomach, and a few other scenes. Such a fantastic movie. The major of "horror movies" has been the Halloween "novel". Which make me more pissed than anything because they are just crap.

Good call. I am not like a super horror guru but I own The Beyond and a few of his other classics and they are awesome.

For a more modern spin I will throw in Re-Animator.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

The three Evil Dead movies are great, but you really have to see Evil Dead 2. It's one of the goofiest, goriest, most ridiculous movies ever. But it's great.

Wolf Creek was laughably horrible. Not a good movie at all and I felt no sympathy for the people being killed. It was lame as [censored].

My favorite gory movie is probably Riki Oh. As far as horror, meh, IDK, no good ones come to mind.

Re: What are your favorite horror/gore/very disturbing films
 

My favorite series would have to be saw just for all the twist they use in thier movies. As far as gory or disturbing Probably High Tension was good. I do a lot of research on serial killers and one of the most interesting I've read was Ed Gein.(Inspired Leather Face) There is a movie out about him that is ok just what he does is disturbing but it's a low budget film so not great graphics or acting. I'll think of more later.
