Scary flicks

I'm currently in the mood for horror movies and I'm looking for the really, really scary kind. And I'm not talking 'scary because Sarah Jessica Parker is in it' scary...no, I mean 'holy fuck, that scared the shit out of me' scary. Maybe you lovely forums people can recommend some scary flicks that I possibly do not know yet?

oh and it does not really matter whether it's old or new flicks either. Cheers in advance! :D

V/H/S. It's among the best recent horror flicks.

had an eye on V/H/S actually so sounds like I should check it out. Same guy also made 'House of the Devil' which I wanted to check out for quite a while, has anyone seen that one yet?

I actually need to finish that. It starts off really really slow, which isn't bad. My main complaint was there's like 10-15 minutes where she's just trying to order a pizza.

Not sure if you've seen it, but the 2012 version of Maniac had quite a few intense and chilling scenes, made stronger for being entirely within the killer's point of view. You might associate Elijah Wood with Frodo, but this film will change that completely; he totally blurs the line between sympathy and monstrosity.

:shock: what? :lol: You mean, literally 10 - 15 minutes? Oh boy. I'd still sort of like to watch it. But I might be just a bit less interested now, heh.

I'm going to have to watch it then. And I have no problem with the whole Frodo thing. I thought Elijah did a pretty good job in Sin City and Hooligans too actually. And to be honest, I've never even seen the original 'Maniac' :oops:

that would be waaaaay too easy though :P


Also, does anyone know if Insidous is any good? It got some pretty good reviews but at the same time it looks kinda clich
