What is the Scariest Movie You've Ever Seen?

[Alexia_Ashford]

The Mist is one of my favourite films. It's a lot more than just a monster movie, because it's about what humans could do when pushed to their extreme limits and humans can be just as much a "monster" as the creatures in The Mist. The ending is one of the most shocking I've ever seen, so great Stephen King himself said he'd have put it in the book if he'd have thought of it. Great film.

Edit: Oh and the song at the end is fucking awesome too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnJOH5PImrw

On the third pass of that sheet, you should edit his face to make it f***ing horrific - I was waiting for that but it never happened. It would scare the crap out of me even now

You walk into that, of course you gonna be shit scared. Doesn't happen in the movie though, the way it happened was quite tame... I remember when I first saw the Exorcist, it wasn't too bad, though I had a spare bed in my bedroom for some reason and kept looking over before falling asleep..

I think survival horror games can be scarier than movies at times (not always though) the original Silent Hill PS1 on an old TV at night with good headphones is an experience like no other if your mind is right.. SH2/3 aren't bad either..

Definitely. Survival horror games gives you the feel that you are there yourself, which is a far scarier experience. I don't think I ever dared play SH at night, let alone turn off the lights!

Good of you to admit that - people usually laugh when I say that It's strange how the mind works though.. turn the volume off and usually it becomes easier to play. I know some people aren't affected by "scariness" but I pity them in a way, I think they are missing something, not just from gaming but from their lives.

Gotta wonder how survival horror will evolve in the future, movies just aren't cut out for horror these days..

Am I the only one not scared by movies? I find this more scary than anything in the middle of the night. I'm deadly serious...

Not scared, more like depressed - it usually signaled the end of the night, way past bedtime haha.

I'm not really sure why but I really didnt like that ending at all. It was just so depressing. I think im probably a little bit biased though since I tend to prefer my endings with some glimmer of happiness in them but I just found the ending for the mist crushing, all I could think at the end was "well fuck, bet he wishes he waited those extra few seconds before shooting his family".

Godamn you Vector for posting that picture! How am I going to sleep tonight now.

There are a few movies that scare me and in different ways.

Paranoia Scary - The Thing
Ghost Scary - Paranormal Activity/ The Entity/ 100 Feet (Just the one scene, if you have seen it you will know what I am talking about)
Make me run in a dark alley Scary - Freddy/Jason
Scared of walking down the street in the dark - American Werewolf in London (I live literally on the side of a mountain so dark woods not good)
Scared when alone in bed - The Exorcist (Why did I watch it)
Overall Scariest movie - The Exorcist

Just want to put it out there that it may be the scariest movie for me but The Thing is my favorite.

Oh Just thought this movie was worth an honorable mention. Anyone seen Woman In Black? Its really really old its in black and white but damn there are some freaky shots. I think its being remade now with the Harry Potter guy but doubt it will be any good I think the black and white actually helped the movie.

Event Horizon.

The movie scared the hell out of me so bad the first time I've seen it as a little boy.

So frightening that I had to read a small magazine for the rest of the movie in order to avoid getting nightmares from it. And when that movie ended, I personally made a vow to myself to NEVER watch that movie again.

The only reason I wanted to watch it in the first place was because Sam Neill was on the cover. (Back then I was a bit of a Jurassic Park buff...)

I do, however, find it quite ironic that Event Horizon was directed by the same person who did the Resident Evil films.

Clowns are terrifying, no doubt about that. But I guess it's hard for me to look past the silliness of the movie, because I tend to be a bit nit-picky when it comes to scary movies. -And it may also be because I am not the biggest fan of Stephen King movies, other than The Shining and The Mist. ^^'..

I've never understood the unnatural fear of clowns; so many people are scared to death of clowns. One of my best friends screams bloody murder and runs everytime she sees a clown. I cannot stand clowns, but I am not afraid of them. I find them more-so annoying than anything, and they always look extremely tacky to me. I guess it also stems from the fact that I don't really find slap-stick comedy the least bit funny.

While on the subject of It, I actually watched that this past weekend. I remember my parents watching it when I was about four, and I remember the clown bothered me (Mainly because Pennywise had those demonic moments with the scary teeth; in his regular form, he didn't much bother me even as a child).

I liked the general premise of It, but think it would have done much better if the whole giant spider thing was avoided. I know the book explains better what It actually is, but I think for the sake of television, I would have rather It just to have been a demonic clown that eats children. Excellent performance by Tim Curry; I read somewhere that most of the actors were afraid to be around him on the set because he was too realistic in the role for them.

The movie definitely bothered me when I was younger, but honestly, I love it now. I actually wanted to see more Pennywise than what I did.

Honestly, it's never a safe bet to say that concepts in Stephen King adaptations are "better explained in the book." Again, guy has ideas that just germinate in the mind (for me, anyway), but sometimes that's at the expense of coherency.

The Mist is something I need to see at some point, from its clear connections to other horror media I enjoy. The Shining is definitely one of my top 3 horror movies.

I knew I had to check out The Mist when I read that it inspired not only Silent Hill, but Half-life! It's pretty decent. Like Alexia said, the human aspect is far scarier than the monsters. It's also why I liked the War of the Worlds remake. The mob mentality of people made the movie very scary.

Haha! If that .GIF was mine, I would totally do that!

Same here. Nothing has unnerved me more than Silent Hill. I lost a lot of sleep when first playing those games!

I'm not too afraid of clowns either, but I do understand why people are. They.. just.. look creepy, I guess? Like you said, clowns tend to piss me off more than scare me. When I was 3 yrs. old, my aunt hired a clown for my birthday party, but the clown was drunk. I think that set the course for my attitude on clowns.. Good times.. ..

I took AMCTV's "What Movie Monster Are You?" quiz and got "Satan (The Omen)" as a result! Serves me right for picking all the charming, smoothly deceptive answers. ..

3D Cinema should consider revisiting The Ring

No movie has quite reached the heights of the kind of stuff you can find on YouTube...
