Lost Video Island

I've noticed that we've been discussing these genres of movies in spam a lot lately, so I thought it would be cool to open a thread where we can suggest movies to each other. I know Nikki, Kat and I are huge horror buffs and like really creepy movies. My faves are like psychological horror/thrillers.

I recently watched Paranormal Entity. Huge ripoff of Paranormal Activity and the movie The Entity from the 80's, they even stuck the names together! xD It actually wasn't a terrible movie though. I liked PA a lot better and found the acting better/the characters more likeable, but PE was definitely creepy and along those same lines. I really prefer when movies aren't just gore and torture (that just gets gross), that's why I liked Paranormal Activity where you really don't see anything but you KNOW something is there and something bad is happening. It makes it much more intense and creepy than if you can see exactly what's happening/what it is.

I also saw Piranha 3D last night and it was complete crap, but kind of in a good way. I find those SyFy Original movies entertaining sometimes because they're just sooo bad. This one was just like them, but on a higher budget. hehe Not "scary" at all, just gory (the silly type of gore) and dumb, but fun to watch.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking of watching Session 9 next, cuz it's on instant netflix. hehe Anyone seen it/heard of it?

"Tensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back."

Mental hospital settings always creep me out. :S So we'll see. hehe

If you REALLY want to freak yourself out... try renting a Japanese horror movie.

Audition is one of the most chilling movies I've ever seen

Lauren! I've been talking about Audition in spam for a few weeks now. That scared the $#!^ out of me and I almost never get scared of movies. I was sooo freaked at that one.

LOL... those Japanese really know how to make the scary flicks

I know! lol I haven't dared to watch anymore of Miike's films, though I'm thinking of watching Audition again to see if it's still as scary. xD It's on instant netflix, so I hereby dare Nikki to watch it!

Director Takashi Miike fashions an explosive drama in Audition. Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) has lived as a widower for too long and decides it's time to marry again. But how will he find a wife? When a friend suggests he hold a fake audition to pick the right woman, he takes him up on it -- only to realize that his choice may be a better actress than he bargained for.

Oooh; awesome idea for this thread Allie; I'm always asking spammers for this kinda movie recommendations

One to steer clear from is The Fog remake. I got it for Maggie Grace, but god its boring and stupid. Took me all day to watch it cos i kept pausing it to go off and do something else. So yeah; not worth it

Unless you want Maggie scenes, but even then its a stretch to get through it.

I keep forgetting to see if my local rental place has Audition, because I really want to see it

I loved The Orphanage! It was more heartbreaking than terrifying, but it is very creepy

I've seen the Shutter remake, but not the original. It's one that i've wanted to see, along with The Ring and The Grudge

I've seen the Shutter remake, but not the original. It was creepy, but good, I've also seen The Orphanage but I didn't think it was scary when I saw it. I also don't think I was paying enough attention though.

yayyy! great idea!

I got round to downloading Paranormal Entity the other day and I thought it was rather boring

And I found myself giggling at it, espcially the end because it was so rediculous. I did like the footprints in the halllway part though, that was one thing i preffered!

I've seen the Shutter remake and spent the full time gushing over Josh and nothing else. lol I know...IM DOIN IT WRONG

I remember the first time I saw the original version of The Grudge. good god, I was a nervous wreck for days after that.

Yeh, debbie you and i have discussed the terror of the Silent HIll game

I wasn't much for the movie though

I do love Resident Evil for Milla, but it does have a gore-factor i'm not totally into

The games are fun-as though

: )

Shutter - totally rented it cos Josh was on the cover

I need to watch more horror movies. I'm a wuss and they would probably terrify me, but I kind of love them.

Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity are two of my favorites.

I did not get Blair Witch Project, I was so confused by it and had to look it up at the end, it didn't scare me, but i reckon that's cos i was so confused.

my all time fave is probably The Ring, i still watch it now and get creeped
