Horror/Sci-Fi movies you must see.

[DaxSnake]

RENAMING THREAD TO
*HORROR/SCI-FI*

Recently my friend told me he hadn't seen many of the best horror movies because he hated Jason & Freddy movies and it pushed him away from watching anything else. I completely agree with him though, I hate serial killer movies, I find the plot simple and boring ie. Hills have eyes, Jason, Freddy, Halloween.

Anyways I downloaded a ton of my favorite movies and after watching them all he loved them all so I felt I'd name my favorites (some you may have never heard of) that are must see's (in my opinion).

Also I'm looking for movies I haven't seen before so throw down your favorites.

- Feast (2005)

Just dont watch the sequel, its utter crap lol.<object width="450" height="370">

- From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino. Need I say more?
One of the most fun vampire movies you will ever see.<object width="450" height="370">

- Dreamcatcher (2003)
This movie isn't for everyone, an alien suspense movie with Jason lee by Stephen King.
It took me 2 watches to fully understand the movie but its worth seeing.<object width="450" height="370">

- Donnie Darko (2001)
Less of a horror, more of a psychological movie.
I'm adding it to my list because the movie is pure brilliance.<object width="450" height="370">

- House on Haunted Hill (1999)
When I first saw this movie, it was one of the only movie's to ever give me a chill.
The atmosphere of the movie is excellent even if the ending was kind of a let down.<object width="450" height="370">

- The Evil Dead (1981)
This Indy movie with a 300,000 budget became a cult classic making Bruce Campbell famous.
It was also one of the first works of Sam Raimi (Spiderman)<object width="450" height="370">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u8Bi9mGv1J8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="370"> </object>




- The Evil Dead 2 (1987)
Some say this is more of a remake of the original than a sequel with a bigger budget but its doesn't mean you shouldn't watch both movies.
Over the top acting making the movie both scary and absolutely hilarious at the same time. I haven't seen anyone else ever pull of that genre at the same time.<object width="450" height="370">
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pegSpP5plA8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="370"> </object>




- Army Of Darkness (1992)
The third Evil Dead movie, less of horror and more of a comedy.
The graveyard skeleton scene makes me laugh every time.

Re: Horror movies you must see.

Dreamcatcher was a very very bad movie. It is not for anyone.

Evil Dead movies are also highly overrated.

Re: Horror movies you must see.

Dreamcatcher was a very very bad movie. It is not for anyone.

I thought it was absolute rubbish aside from Donnie Wahlberg, who was exceptional in his role. Also, some of these movies aren't exactly horror films unless you want to classify horror, sci-fi, and suspense together.

[daflyboys]

Re: Horror movies you must see.

Good list, save for Dreamcatcher. Starts out great and ends stupidly imo. Loved the original The Thing as well. Just has that 50's scifi feel and the bantering that goes on between the cast members is great.

Re: Horror movies you must see.

I did say Dreamcatcher WASNT for everybody.

Although this is my own personal list of preference.

CUBE though, find it and watch it if you haven't.

Maybe I should have made the title Horror/Sci-Fi

[Buckeyes_Doc]

Re: Horror movies you must see.

Army of Darkness is one of the greatest movies ever made. I also love the graveyard scene, and the skeletons in general.

[PBlast]

Re: Horror movies you must see.

I'd like to add 28 Days Later and to a lesser extent 28 Weeks Later to this list. Days Later is one of my favourite "zombie" movies to date.

Re: Horror movies you must see.

I am so tired of my child is possessed movies..........They really need to let that theme die back off like it originally did in the 80s. Those movies are so lame and ALWAYS the same.

[DaxSnake]

Re: Horror movies you must see.

Yeah I hate that people suggested Possesion and seriel killer movies when those are the worst kind of movies. They just plain suck. Hills have eyes is horrible and so are exorcism movies.

Re: Horror/Sci-Fi movies you must see.

Not a fan of Children of the Corn. But you can't diss The Exorcist. A movie that I will not watch decades later definitely is saying something.


Always thought this one was unique:

Re: Horror/Sci-Fi movies you must see.

I know the OP said he hated serial killer movies and it's more of a thriller than horror movie, but the fact that Se7en hasn't been mentioned once in this thread (that I saw) disturbs me:

I don't know how you guys feel about killer animal movies, but honestly, after JAWS, Rogue is next in line for me. One of the HUGE surprises of the last few years. It's got Sam Worthington, Radha Mitchell, and Michael Vartan starring, to name a few. It didn't get any pub at all, but seriously guys, if you want an intense killer animal movie with good acting and one badass crocodile, then pick this movie up.
