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.

In Spanish cursed is maldito.  A curse is maldicion.  I sort of wonder why you're asking, but maybe I don't want to know.  Ha ha.

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.

Because Hispanics weren't heavily involved in World War II. I believe the war movies you're referring to in the first part of your question are probably westerns, are they may be about the Spanish-American War. Just a guess, though.

Well, think of all the best horror movies you have ever seen.  Don't copy them, but think about why they are scary.  What makes them better than the rest.\n\nAlso, horror means different things to different people.  Horror is either "blood 'n guts" or "suspense".  Personally, I prefer suspense.  "blood n' guts" is the easy cop out in a horror movie.  So many films these days use it as a means to an end.\n\nSuspense is all about unprovoked shock situations.  Leading your viewer into an uncertain situation, which could either be blissfully safe, or at the turn of a sixpence, spiral into a shock supprise!!\n\nFor instance, take the example of the ol' favourite haunted house....  Character opens the door and walks through...  All is silent, apart from the ambient wind and creaking of the door.  Door slams shut unxepectedly behind character.  I would use volume to shock the viewer.\n\nThere are many different ways to scare your audience.  Think of the two senses we use to watch - sight and sound.  Exploit them to their fullest.\n\nPoints to remember about making a good horror movie:\n\n1.  The storyline must be well thought out, have no flaws and come to a conclusion - either good, bad or leave the audience thinking what could have happened.\n\n2.  Blood 'n guts does not work!!!!  A small amount of gratuitous b&g is okay, but must be backed up with a justifiable demise, using suspense and shock!\n\n3.  Ambience.  A key point is to use sound and visuals to create a world in which your audience will feel uncomfortably captivated.  Classics are the haunted house, the woods with dead trees and freakish howlings, fog, blurs of light in pitch black, etc.....\n\n4.  The sense of security and insecurity.  Use techniques to fool the audience into a false sense of security, by leading them up to a perilous situation, only to find that peril dosent come to pass.  Then three seconds later, after everyone is relived that the grisly event didn't take place, then execute (literally!) the event, which will scare people because you have taken them from secure to insecure in an instant.  That's how you scare people!!\n\n5.  Avoid cliche events, like the haunted house, creaking door, etc.  Make something new.  Use a situation that normally would be very secure and make it insecure.  Where do you feel most safe?  Think of an imaginary situation that would make it unsafe.\n\n6.  Special effects.  You will need to harness your skills in making special effects.  Make up, flash lighting, ambient background noise, volume control, etc..\n\nMy favouite horror films:\n\nThe fog - John Carpenter (original, not the crap remake)\nThe thing - John Carpenter (and the original)\nHalloween - John Carpenter\nIt - Stephen King\nSalems Lot - Stephen King\n\nThese films use the classic combination of great storylines, atmosphere, human vulnerability, mistrusting situations and small amounts of gore (apart from the thing!!) to create the scenes which make them great!\n\nHope that helps!

There was a time when I thought of the spanish as similar in culture and standards as the english.\nHowever, surrendering to terrorism after the train bombings is a shame that spain will have to carry forever.\nThe reaction has only served to demonstrate that terror acts are effective to the extent that one single act of violence can knock a country out of the war on terror.Ultimately ,strengthening the terrorists position and increasing terror acts on the rest of the coalition.\nUnusually the govt wasnt to blame but the ppls reaction .A reaction of immense cowardice ,unsurpassed even by the french!

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.

Because it is a horror movie and horror movies always contain as much blood, gore, and violence as possible these days. It seems to be the new trend in scary movies.

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.

Good question, I guess it's because he loves his brother and carrying him around isn't a sacrifice, it's a pleasure. What I've always wondered was how did he get blind and why does he like Spain so much.

Hell is a ficticious place made to scare people. It doesn't exist.

OK, Italy may be good actors, but I think Portugal are GREAT actors! have you noticed their faces when they drop themselves to the ground? they look like they're being tortured!! then, in a matter of seconds,  they're playing again like nothing happened. I can't stand the exaggeration anymore!
