Why are movies like "Saw", "The Ring" and "The Grudge" thought to be some of the "best" scary movies???

signs - i have forgotten most about the movie but i didn't really find it that frightening. it's just kind of eerie and spooky but not downright frightening.\n\nblair witch - aahh... what a controversy. the way the camera was handled makes your head spin a bit. it is interesting, but again, not that scary, for me at least. but it has its moments, if you could feel for the characters.\n\nthe ring - which one? the japanese original was a low-budget film but it really delivered for me. the most hair-raising part was the one at the end. the american version was not that good for me. the scare factor just wasn't there...\n\nthe omen - again, which one? the original or the remaker? i haven't seen the remake just yet but the original was okay for me. i still like the exorcist more not only because of the special effects but because of the whole plot overall.\n\nsixth sense - like the movie signs, i have forgotten almost everything about the movie except for the line, "i see dead people" and that a main character was actually dead. it's a good movie.\n\nthere you go... i'm more of a zombie fan than anything but i do like horror movies/suspense movies in general. :)

well horror movies started just as television discovered sound,back in the day they could do anything to scare the crap out of people,,these days something jumping out behind a closet gives us a little jump but we no its coming,,predictability and the knowledge that we no how fake and computer generated things are takes away all the shock value,,were the messed up MTV generation,nothing scares us.

The scariest movie I ever saw was the original version of The Haunting. It had no special effects at all and the spookiness was created by lighting and atmosphere, good acting and a very scary house. It still gives me chills to remember the scene where Julie Harris thinks she's holding her roommate's hand during a visitation by spirits in their room and when the lights come on she's holding an invisible hand. Now I'm gonna have a nightmare tonight, for sure. Thanks.

Aren't all horror movies about survival? I mean, why do people call movies survival horror and call any other movies horror? They are both the same! And Rest Stop unfortunately, sucks as both a horror film and a survival horror film. Rest Stop is about two lovers(Jess and Nicole) are on a road trip to fulfill their dreams; they stop at a rest stop and while Nicole goes in the rest stop, Jess vanishes in thin air and Nicole is left alone..or so she thinks. A demented killer is lurking around in his yellow pick-up truck who just wants to have some deadly fun with Nicole. The cat-and-mouse game begins and oh, do we ever want it to stop! \n\nThe story is definitely not exciting for anyone who likes the horror genre. Actually, I can't see how the idea could bring anyone to actually start a movie with it. It's a dull story and Rest Stop makes the story seem excellent compared to the movie itself. Rest Stop had a chance in the beginning of this film. It started off really creepy and perverted, but the movie's chance slimmed down as the movie began to play it's game of cat and mouse between Nicole and the mysterious killer. Non-stop games that are predictable, dull and simply not enjoyable. For example, Nicole sees the yellow pick-up truck and runs in the restroom. The killer is gone after a few minutes and does what he does(f*ck with her mind). This is basically all that happens and Nicole is in the restroom a lot in this film. *SPOILER* You know the person that helps Nicole is going to die*SPOILER END*. To top that off, they even added a demented family that is way too looney for any normal family(Texas Chainsaw Massacre anyone?) \n\nIf I think I could label this movie, I'd think drama would fit. There is absolutely no suspense in this movie and actually, this movie hardly feels anything like a horror film. There is way too many key moments in this movie that feels dramatic. Although, some will disagree with me. I know there is blood in this movie and violence and all that horror stuff, but the movie feels so much like a drama. You'll get a finger cut off, blood splatter, gunshot wounds; it's not gory for an unrated version. I doubt if there was more blood, the movie will still be boring as hell. \n\nThe acting isn't that great, but far better than the other really low budget movies I've seen. Jaimie Alexander is the lead and she plays Nicole. She did fairly well and Joey Lawrence plays Jess and he literally stinks in this movie. The killer, Joey Mendicino, well his role doesn't have much acting involved except driving. The special effects are pretty good, surprisingly well done by the budget. The script which was written by the director John Shiban, did a decent job on the script. It's pretty basic because the characters hardly go far from the rest stop resulting not much action. The directing isn't nothing special either. It's very basic, creating a few good shots, but everything has been seen before. \n\nRest Stop was supposed to be a shocking film, making each twist and turn even more shocking than the last, but I beg to differ. This is so bad, it's shocking that it got made! The story is way too boring, the movie itself is dull and predictable with things you've seen in other movies and everything in this movie just doesn't work at all to create a good horror movie to watch, not even a decent one at that. The cover may look inviting, but looks are deceiving and movies like this proves that!

The original Exorist movie.\nHave you seen any of the Halloween movies?\nThere's always zombie movies like return of the living dead and such.\nSleep Away Camp.\nC.H.U.D.\nThe original Carrie.\nMy brother says anything by Traumaville.\nThe original Amityville Horror.\nSaw I and 2\n\nAny of the black and white horror movies.  I find the older horror movies made in the 70s and 80s are scarier than the movies made nowadays.

I liked the movie, but it wasn't as original as the first three films. My favorite so far is the second movie. The movie mostly spoofs War of the Worlds and the Grudge. The movie leastly spoofs Saw, Saw II, Red Eye, The Village, and Million Dollar Baby. \n\nHope you like it!

See the original.  I love a good horror and suspense but this wasn't scary or suspenseful.  There were a few scenes where the filmmakers throw out some stuff that makes you jump in your seat a little, but it's really just the shock of going from the slow boring stuff, to a dog jumping out of no where.\n\nI love the original movie.  This remake was for the most part poorly acted by the cast, with the exception of mia farrow and Liev Schreiber.  There were also a few scenes where most of the audience was laughing and it was obvious that the director did not intend for the scene to be humorous in any way.  The director was actually in attendance and i felt really bad for him.\n\nI would never tell anyone not to go see a movie, you should see it and form your own opinion.  But, don't expect too much!

Yeah, The Hills Have Eyes is a great movie.  One of the few new, good horror movies to come out in a while.  It has all the gore, freaky faces, and pop-out scares that a horror movie calls for.  Plus, I love the fact that I (along with so many others) didn't find this movie to be predictable, meaning it was hard to guess who was gonna die and in what order.

I dont agree with a lot of Blondie's movies being scary....but thats just an opinion.\n\nOld School scares:  Psycho (1960) The Birds (1963) Rosemary's Baby (1969) The Omen (1976)  \n[i'm looking forward to the remake of the omen that is coming out on 6-6-06.  hopefully they dont screw it up like lots of others]\n\nNew School scares: Jurassic Park (1993)[Come on- the first time you saw it you know it made you jump!]  The Others (2001) Dead Alive (aka Braindead) (1992)  Se7en (1995) [scary cause it is semi-realistic that someone can do something like this]  \n\nAsian Horror Favorite-  Everyone recommends Ringu and Ju-On because they are the asian versions of the American remakes, but they have only gained notoriety for that fact and there are way better Asian horror films.  I think the best asian horror film I have seen in a long time is called "A Tale of Two Sisters"  Great movie, and much more suspenseful than Ringu, Ju-On or the asian Dark Water.\n\nUnfortunatly there are many better old school horror movies.  I think horror has dropped off since the late 70's early 80's.  everything today is done with gore and trys more for shock value than actual scares.  Movies like Saw and Hostel weren't scary in the same way the classiscs like Psycho and Halloween are scary.  I mean I dont fear being chained in a basement or being tortured on vacation but I do fear people hiding in closets, stalking me, or haunting me.  Times have changed......

I feel scared, but not scary.  Is that what you mean?  Anyway, horror movies generally don't make me scared, because they're usually cheesy.  The movies that freak me out are the weird ones like Mothman Prophecy, The Ring, or White Noise.  It all depends on how realistic they are.

They have great Japanese horror movies that American film makers have redone.\n\n The Ring , The Grudge and Dark Water are all remakes of Japanese films.  \n\nThe movie coming out called Pulse is a remake of a Japanese film.  Try watching these movies in their Japanese versions it makes for a better scare.  \n\nThey are quite different, very eerie.  If you can get past the subtitles which you don't notice after a while.

I never referred to it as "torture" movies. But I guess I do. I dont think people are thinking anything like "oh this is sick" I know I wanna see Turistas just because me and my girl like scary movies. dont read too much into it, just get scared and have fun.
