Intelligent, logical plot development.  Characters that are not stereotypical, nor shallow.  Just because the genre is horror, don't rely on simple gore or character stupidity to move the story along.  Also avoid plot lines that are simply "linking" horrific/graphic scenes together.  Develop the story first and then find ways to "illustrate" the underlying horror.  Remember,  its always better to suggest something and let the viewer fill it in for themselves than to dictate the horror.  A person knows their own darkest areas best and a good horror film elicits that from each person viewing it.

Yeah, just caught it opening night. For a horror movie it was real good. For a Video Game movie, it was freaking awsome! Well acted (as in all the characters were believable, and you could buy it was happening to them), mostly mood as opposed to a gorefest, but when they do the gore, wow, they went for it. (The audience was flipping out...I'm a little jaded...) They managed to have just enough of the patented "twist" when they reveal the core of the story left unsaid that they managed to slip some stuff by me too...\n\nOn the whole, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 4, or to put it more plainly, see it at a matinee showing, or if you have one in your area, see it at a drive in (in other words, not worth 10 bucks, but definately catch it on the big screen if at all possible.)

There's a lot of great horror movies. What surprises me is that GR1M can say that House of 1,000 Corpses is a lame attempt at a real horror movie and then say that the best horror movie is Jeepers Creepers. I LOVE Rob Zombie so maybe that's why I like his movies so much, but there are an insane amount of horror movies way better than Jeepers Creepers. What about all the classics? The Exorcist, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, The Shining....I admit some of these movies got chessy as they proceeded along (Jason takes Manhattan) but these are classics and any one of these whips Jeepers Creepers ass.

An average American family, on a camping vacation, is driving across the Southwest toward California. They accidentally pass through an abandoned Air Force test site, and are preyed upon by a family of depraved, primitive creeps who live in the hills.\n\nEarly Wes Craven picture was his second directorial effort after "The Last House On The Left". It's an unpretentious, simple, straightforward rural horror thriller (in the vein of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre") that provides surprisingly good entertainment. It's not for the squeamish but that disclaimer could apply to any number of horror movies. It's well-paced, twisted fun with a good cast and a group of heroes I could actually root for (although the character of Brenda, played by Susan Lanier, is such hysterical crybaby she'll probably turn some viewers off). It is hurt, however, by an abrupt ending that doesn't tie up all the loose ends.\n\nFor the most part, though, I liked it. At least, you have to admit that it's a better picture than "The Last House On The Left." I also liked it as a chance to see an early performance from Dee Wallace (Stone), who went on to bigger roles in "The Howling", "E.T." and "Cujo."\n\nIt gets an eight out of ten.

I'm a little bit torn over the issue. Sometimes you're stuck between watching a mediocre remake of a good horror flick and a sorry new movie.\n\nMy main pet peeve is that almost no horror series know when to stop. They go from being actually scary to a morbid comedy. "Friday the 13th" should have stopped at Part 4 (The Final Chapter), "Nightmare on Elm Street" should have stopped after the first or second one, Chucky should've stopped while it was still "Child's Play", and so on.

All Dogs Go To Heaven- (I'm an Atheist, go figure) It's just so damn cute!\n4. The Pebble and the Penguin- Do I even have to say it, PENGUINS!!!!\n5. All the Chucky Movies- Hilarious and gory at the same time. Tiffany is my idol.\n6. Pet Sematary- Creep and (once again) bloody. Zelda is my worst fear.\n7. Big Daddy- SOOOOOOOOO freakin funny!\n8.

Psychological Thrillers are the best type. Anything horror or twisted is good though. As for music, it is always a bonus to have kickass songs on it.

I think people like horror movies because it distracts them from the horrors of reality.  Watching something like "The Ring" or "Nightmare on Elm Street" desensitizes people to violence and other things, especially demonic activity in the world.\n\nAfter "The Ring" the evening news isn't quite as scary as it should be.

The hills have Eyes is not gory, copared to Hostel. If you want to see gory watch the SAW 3 movie. I saw that one twice aready and i might go see it again for the thrid time with some of my friends. I haven't seen hostel yet, but i did see the hill have eyes. I that movie is not scary. But my the commericals and comments that other people have made about Hostel i think is gory. Oh...by the way you have to go watch Hostel: Part 2 when it comes out. \n\nBYE

I'm not sure, but I hear Rob Zombie is working on it. Should be pretty good. It's a prequel to the first Halloween.

Psychological. It's just scarier to me. In "creature" horror films, I often find myself wishing that they didn't show the "creature," or beast, because then you're left to use your imagination, which is ultimately far more frightening. The thing about psychological horror flicks is that they're more likely to be scary all the way to the end, instead of just scary at the beginning and mediocre at the climax.

I thought saw1 was amazing. It had all the components for a great psychological horror film, and it truly was my favorite horror for a long time. When Saw2 came out, I wasn't too anxious to see it because sequels never tend to be that good. But Saw2 turned out to be even more amazing than the first! The best horror movie ever!

It's the Hills Have Eyes.  I haven't seen it, but the reviews I've read haven't been good.  If you like gruesome B horror movies I would suggest watching it, maybe not at the theater.  Those kind of movies are more fun to watch at home since you can laugh at the morbid scenes.  The reviews I've read say "House of 1000 Corpses" and "Devil's Rejects" are much better.\n\nHowever.. my husband saw Slither this weekend and he really liked it.

I loved Hostel!! It was gross but really good. I'm into those kinds of movies so of course I'd be excited.......YES, love those messed up movies!

There are some great ideas in some movies... Like in the Blair Witch Project: be alone and lost in a lonely and unknow place... have to sleep in that place... start to hear scarry noises in night (like screams) and trying to scape without a light!!! That is really scarry.
