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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
