MSN'S 10 Movies That Scare Us....

[Caftan King]

Following are my comments about the movies.

Eraserhead

My close friend who lent me the DVD of this film claimed it to be their 'favorite film of all time'. The Eraserhead, even though balck white has an awesome cinematography, plot symbolism and imaginative special and visual sets.This film achieved the 100% of Wow! Factor I am looking for in every horror movies I watched.

The Exorcist[/COLOR]

This Friedkin's Masterpiece has been the origin of inspiration for many other horror films around the world. Many film producers and directors have imitated the concept of this one of a kind horror flick. After watching the movie, all you can do is agree with the producers: The atmosphere of The Exorcist is really horrifying. Many scenes in The Exorcist are frightening and disgusting, but have a certain thing that makes you laugh nervously.

Halloween[/COLOR]

One of the greatest and scariest horror movie ever. Some casual moviegoer think that the acting is bad, or the script is boring, the whole concept is crappy. Well, I only have one thing to say to them. The script is complex in a subtle way, so if you don't catch the script it just goes way over your head.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre[/COLOR]

This flick is Hoopers best film and shouldn't be missed by any self respecting horror die hard fan. It shows us where all of todays new generation of slashers are getting their inspiration. Films like Saw, Wrong Turn, House of a Thousand Corpses, Cabin Fever, and even Final Destination are obvious homages to this one. But the Texas Chainsaw Massacre was the first to show us what a real slasher should be like.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Here comes my favorite looney villain of all time... dunn..dunn..dunn.. dunn..Freedy! Well his creator, Wes Craven is known as the Master of Horror. This movie is engaging and competently made, but it aren't all that frightening. The one thing that Craven has that no one else does is a penchant for taking risks. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" doesn't follow the slasher film formula in fact, this is just a horror film, and not a member of the slasher genre. But this a fare one.

Night of the Living Dead

Well all I can say is... the 1968 movie is a classic with better performances and shots than its remake.

Psycho[/COLOR]

Since I am a certified horrority I dont care that it is in black and white colour at all. The atmosphere of the movie is how real it looks and feels. Everything in this movie seems realistic to the viewer. The suspense factor is also spectacular in this film. Hitchcock's brilliant directing and Herrman's creepy score work together to build up atmosphere and suspense for the film. This is done extremely well. The actors were great and still nowadays it is a bit scary when the Marion Crane chooses the wrong place to spend her night on (and the wrong bathroom..lol). Psycho may very well be one of the most suspenseful movies of all time.
