Great horror/sci-fi movies
 

Organ Grinder from from my own little phuqed up world on 2001-09-01 19:21 [#00028501]



Hmm... since there seems to be a topic of "favorites"
lately, why not start a topic about horror movies? My
faves:

Hellraiser (entire series is kick-ass)
In the Mouth of Madness
Event Horizon (although it's a bit more sci fi)
Anything directed by George Romero (Day of the Dead, Dawn of
the Dead, etc.)
Candyman
Stephen King's IT
The Shining (the STANLEY KUBRICK one, not that damned
made-for TV shit they recently put out -- who cares if it's
more accurate to the book?)
Seven (more of a psychothriller i know)
Perfect Blue (anime)
Wicked City (anime)
AKIRA!!!!!!!!! (anime / sci-fi)


 

Loogie from UK on 2001-09-01 19:31 [#00028504]



Yeah I think most of them are cool, especially The Shining,
maybe my all time fave. Saw it when I was 10 and I was
fucking petrified. Nothing has scared me as much since.

How about the evil dead series, or are they classed as
comedy.

Also braindead and bad taste... hilarious!

Don't like any anime nor event horizon.

Pitch Black is currently my fave sci fi.


 

transmission from Netherlands...YEAH! on 2001-09-01 19:44 [#00028505]



Stephen King's IT sux man...The book is SO much better, if
you read the book and see the movie...You'll notice that
nothing in the movie is correct! Switching of characters and
stuff. Sometimes the books kick much more ass ;)

The Shining
Silence Of The Lambs
Halloween

Alien3
Sphere (I dont care what those damn critics say!!)

Is Final Fantasy really any good? I didnt see it in the
theaters, but I plan on purchasing it on DVD, it is coming
out in an absolutely amazing DVD special edition.


 

Archrival from NY on 2001-09-01 21:13 [#00028526]



Event Horizon and The Shining!!!!!

AMAZING MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 

dozer on 2001-09-02 06:17 [#00028603]



ALIEN & THE THING


 

dozer on 2001-09-02 06:19 [#00028604]



oh yeah and also BRAINDEAD (or Dead Alive as it is called on
DVD) the goriest movie you will EVER find. but it's not
really a horror movie, it's sort of mix of splatter &
comedy.


 

rF from a warm place on 2001-09-02 06:21 [#00028605]



Definitely Event Horizon...


 

Super Magnetic Neo from Australia on 2001-09-02 12:31 [#00028694]



I love Braindead! Also love Evil Dead 1 & 2.

Super Magnetic Neo from Australia on 2001-09-02 20:06 [#00028762]



Just seen Cube tonight. Great film.


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-02 22:57 [#00028786]



I agree with most except for the Stephen King bits..(other
than the shinning)... :P
I recommend...just about everything and anything by David
Cronenberg plus most of David Lynch...

cheers


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-02 22:58 [#00028787]



yep agree with Cube..it does rock!!!


 

ross on 2001-09-02 23:35 [#00028794]

LeMoN on 2001-09-03 01:25 [#00028803]



Dont be talking trash about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining,
one of the greatest movies ever made...


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-03 01:41 [#00028805]



um..you got me wrong..I wuz saying that I don't have time
for Stephen King flicks except for The Shining, which I
believe is nothing short of a masterstorke..Kay?
cheers


 

LeMoN on 2001-09-03 01:47 [#00028806]



Sorry, my bad dude, i read that wrong. Yes, The Shining is
an amazing movie...

Jaffa Kid from Newcastle on 2001-09-03 04:55 [#00028829]



Don't Look Now is the scariest film I ever saw, with Donald
Sutherland and Julie Christie


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-09-03 05:02 [#00028830]



JAFFAfAFA: Ill have to check that movie out then... hm....

LeMoN on 2001-09-03 05:17 [#00028835]



Okay.......well you two appear to be done bonding, so i will
say that i enjoy Evil Dead 1 and 2 greatly but do not think
too highly of Army Of Darkness.


 

[REFLEX] from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-09-03 05:34 [#00028836]



JAJA KID;; I hope to see you soon FAAJA!

LOMEN: yes..... Evil Dood 2 was the bist!


 

hAnkyPhexTwin from Tucson, AZ on 2001-09-03 08:08 [#00028874]



Killer Klowns From Outer Space


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-09-03 08:10 [#00028877]



one of the worst horror films ever EVER made... {i would
know Ive seen...... so goddamn many} would have to be
Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies From Hell


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-09-03 10:38 [#00028926]



Any movie where the bad guys are zombies i.e. garden of the
dead (if anyone knows it.......)

in the mouth of madness
blair witch project
the cell (? does this fit in here? i liked it myself...)
sleepy hollow
the shining
poltergiest
event horizon
matrix (sci-fi isn't it?)

lots of others i can't remember right now.......

It
The Haunting (the original from early '60's)
The Others

yup ypiyyfcccccccccch ght tyxyrtyx


 

|REFLEX| from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on 2001-09-03 10:41 [#00028927]



ugh you liked Blair Witch Project? That was
horrrrrribbblllleeeee IMO son.


 

balthus from europe on 2001-09-03 12:25 [#00028953]



i'm not such a huge fan of horror films, but i liked john
carpenter's in the mouth of madness, haloween and vampires,
and tim burton's sleepy hollow. aliens, poltergeist, the
omen and this 70s nicolas roeg film (which took place in
venice - with donald sutherland) - i only know the german
title of this film, was great, too.

sf

2001
logan's run (bit cheesy, but fun)
star wars episode v: the empire strikes back
blade runner

and now i'm waiting for wong kar-wai's 2046, which takes
place in hong kong in the future... i'm sure this will be a
great film. i loved wkw's fallen angels.


 

balthus from europe on 2001-09-03 12:27 [#00028955]



ok, i just checked the imdb.com... the title of this roeg
movie is 'don't look now'.


 

Organ Grinder from from my own little phuqed up world on 2001-09-03 15:59 [#00028992]



EVIL DEAD is fucking awesome!!!

And i do think quite highly of Poltergeist AND Pitch Black
(fucking wicked) and how did i forget the Aliens movies?
I should PUNCH myself for forgetting those -- dammit!!!


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-03 21:53 [#00029078]



to [REFLEX]: (riases hand) yep me..huge EVIL DEAD fan
here...used one of the samples off Army of Darkness for a
song which unfortunately can't put on the mp3.com because I
have reserved it for someone else's project..and the
Hellraisers..though a bit lukewarm about the 3


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-03 21:59 [#00029080]



now bad horror movies are another matter all together..an
acquired taste but once hooked can provide hours and hours
of gut ripping laughter....I recommend most of TROMA
movies..Redneck Zombies among my faves..some really weird
shit goes down in that one....and "Tromeo and Juliet "is not
to be missed by anyone who loathed that recent remake of
Romeo and Juliet with gangsters guns and bloodless violence
:p also "Killer Klowns from outer space" is also a classic
(not a troma film though)


 

wayout from a plastic bubble on 2001-09-03 22:03 [#00029081]



didn't anyone say silence of the lambs yet? well thats a
good one...
alien + aliens are both good aswell
did stanley kubrick do any horror movies besides the
shining? (i suppose clockwork orange could be if taken in
the right context..a great sci fi movie nonetheless)
2001:a space odessey is prolly the best sci fi movie i've
seen..
the abyss is another classic..
i guess the blair witch project was a pretty good horror
flick.
theres also lots of good sci fi anime
including:
akira
ghost in the shell
patlabor 2 (and 1..but not as much so)
iria:zeiram
bubblegum crisis: tokyo 2040
venus wars
dominion tank police
battle angel
theres some seriously fucked up horror/sci fi anime too,
including:
biohunter
demon city shinjuku
lily cat
blood reign

there are others too...i just forget them



 

wayout from a plastic bubble on 2001-09-03 22:04 [#00029083]



oh, i guess someone did say silence of the lambs...shows how
much i pay attention...


 

f.l.e.a from NZ on 2001-09-03 22:25 [#00029088]



I would like to add NINJA SCROLL (the feature not the lame
series) to wayout's wayout list :)..but doesnt anybody like
the UROTOSUKIDOJI?? series I am a bit disappointed...


 

thanksomuch from over there on 2001-09-04 02:31 [#00029148]



thanks hex... ;)


 

Jimmy from DE on 2001-09-04 14:15 [#00029367]



Ok I didn't read all of the posts but I didn't see Day of
the Dead OR Dawn of the Dead at all! Maybe some of you have
heard of a movie from Hong Kong called Bio-Zombie. It came
out 3 years ago and it's hilarious. (Not too gory, but damn!
Those Hong Kong kids are funny!)
hmm...what else...oh yeah, of all the Nightmares, I
personally like the 3rd one. Not too fond of any others of
the Elm Street series. Oh, and Netion Sentinel, I've seen In
the Mouth of Madness, and I liked it. I got a little strange
in a confusing way, and that was a bit annoying, but it was
still a good movie with really eerie camera work. Also, Evil
Dead 2 is the best of the trilogy. I mean some parts of Army
of Darkness were just...lame. And the first one had no
comedy whatsoever. The second was a great mix of horror and
comedy (even though it might of been kind of bad comedy)...
