Horror films that you enjoy?

Check out 80's horror 'Prison' a great tense, gory supernatural horror movie.

For me Its The Thing, Prince of Darkness, Rec, Dust Devil and a whole load of others lol

Prison (1987):  Referencing your movie suggestion, I see that it stars Viggo Mortensen and was a box office bomb.  And, it was originally released on DVD overseas and not for the North American market until 2013.  Simon, if I come across this film (without directly paying for it), I'll watch it!

Some classic horror films that I embarrassingly haven't seen:

• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
• The Amityville Horror (1979)
• Children of the Corn (1984)
• It (1990)
  

Dust Devil (1992) & Rec (2007):  I've put them on my list of endless possibilities...  I generally enjoy seeing Donald Pleasence in films, but Prince of Darkness wasn't one of my favourites.  I do remember (it has been a 1987 while) that one of its seedy characters happily munches on a cockroach!

I haven't seen any of the Final Destination (1-5) movies, any recommendations?

You must watch it, 
you see nothing, but rattling doors, sense of unease, but it still is the best haunted house movie.
Far superior to the remake, which I enjoyed at the time but a very poor imitation.

much like the old turn of the screw movie, still vastly superior to anything thing that has come after.
night of the demon is another classic that you should seek out.

i too was dubious about hostel & saw but they really creep you out & much better than the OTT gore suggests they will be, I was not as keen on the sequels but they were ok.

i also should mention that my favourite horror film is the TV version of IT, but it's not really scary which is why I left it of the list, but the best adaption of a Stephen King novel (although stand by me comes close second)

If your on Google+ look me up same username Timelord007, i review films & Doctor Who on there.

Dust Devil i think you'll enjoy. I've only ever seen the final Directors Cut of it, although based on the differences I've heard, i would love to see the studio/video version.

Rec you will definitely enjoy and if you do try Rec 2 as well.

I think it would be worth just watching all five of the F.D movies, but if you are only going to watch one, do the first one.

Sometimes I look through my books and DVDs and become slightly deflated: by and large, they are all horror and horror-related. I love the genre, and have done as far as I can remember - as a youngster I used to plague my Aunt for gossip when she revealed she used to go the cinema and watch the old Universal horrors when she was young.

At the moment, the top shelf of my collection comprises of Universal films, Hammer films and Jean Rollin films. I only discovered Rollin's filmes a couple of years ago after watching 'Blood for Irina' by Chris Alexander (who was behind Fangoria magazine), and hearing him say how he was influenced by French Director Jean Rollin. Dutifully, I tracked down one of his DVDs. Low-budget, stifled acting and subtitles - but what a genius the man was (he died in 2010, three months after the completion of his last project). Somehow, he had the ability to turn a woodland, or a castle, or a landscape - even a deserted street - into something dreamlike and unnerving. Although not for everyone, I recommend his films to anyone who likes horror (even though he shied away from the term, preferring 'fantastique') - especially 'Shiver of the Vampires'.

My favourite ever film would have to be 'Bride of Frankenstein' from 1935 - still to be equalled! Romance, dark comedy, a macabre atmosphere and a truly tragic 'monster.'

Recent films include 'Blair Witch', 'Don't Breathe' (both of which I enjoyed) and the lesser known 'The Windmill Massacre' (which I thought was excellent). Happy halloween!

For anyone interested, here is some of my opinionated horror film nonsense

The Haunting (1963)

Although, not the end-all classic that I was hoping for, there was some skillful film making demonstrated within this (unnoticeably) slighter budget production.  My primary criticism of it is that its main character (Julie Harris) wasn't very likable.  Her character (Nell) was continually sad and pathetic for the entire film, making it difficult for me to have much empathy for her.  The overall direction of this movie was stylish, and I did like the characters of Theo (Claire Bloom) and the doctor (Richard Johnson).  3/5

The Amityville Horror (1979)

This late '70s horror classic was a little more "up my street".  Based on a true story where a family moves into a house that was previously the scene for a mass murder.  James Brolin and Margot Kidder convincingly portray victims with relatable personalities faithfully displayed during their quandary of misfortunes, and Rod Steiger (Father Delaney) who looked a little like an older Marlon Brando added some gravitas.  3.5/5
