Default 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.
