Name one scary movie, please!

[KiNG KiLL]

Yep, I need YOUR help! I am about to write an essay on fear and trauma that comes from watching movies. So I need everyone to name 1 movie that really made you scared and traumatized so that I may have a look at it. I would be really greatful for any help I can get!

It doesn't have to be a "scary" movie of course, just as long as it left marks on your soul...

Thanks!

"Requiem for a Dream" was one of the most amazing movies that I have seen, but it left marks for sure (make sure you get the unrated version, it is much better). A movie that everyone needs to watch once, but if you watch it more then that, you are a masochist.

Jurassic Park! The original one. I think I had nightmares of Tyrannosaurus Rex coming to eat me. We watched it at school, on sixth grade (or was it fifth?) Anyway I was too young for it. The worst parts were that acid-spitting little dino eating the fat mean guy, and T-Rex eating the guy sitting in the toilet, and when the kids are in the car and the T-Rex looks through the window, and when they fell down... and those raptors, how they ate the goat, and later how they ate this guy and dropped his hand on the woman's shoulder, and at first she was like "oh great, it's just you", and then she notices there's just a severed arm!!!! Eeeeeeeeeeek! XD

Hmmmm.....

Scary movie would have to be the Grudge, that made me jump!
Gory movie, perhaps Final Destination?
But a movie that leaves marks on the soul, well that's got to be The Pianist

[Scorup]

Saw. Both parts.

Gory movie... Starship Troopers...

Sorry but no movie has ever scared me.

Signs

I grew up in the midwest, around all those cornfields... And my wife would make fun of me while we were out at night, making those chittery noises by clicking her teeth. The only way I could get a sound nights sleep was to make a parody of the whole movie in my head.

Like, the telecast fiesta, were the alien walks out of the bushes, in my movie, the alien moon walks out, does a spin, and moon walks stage left. And instead of a pet dog attacking the daughter, they have cats, and the boy ends up barbequeing it and asking his dad "Three minutes then flip, right?"

I can sleep now, and even watch the movie again, but it still bugs me.

The Butterfly Effect. May not be a scary movie, but is a surprising thriller that I may remember for years to come.

The one and only scary movie that I've watched and can clearly remember is the Grudge. Didn't really encouraged me to watch more scary movies, though one my of my friends was laughing straight off at the climax.

It. That seriously made me afraid of clowns. I'm not kidding.

Event Horizon. I couldn't walk around in anything less than full daylight for about a day without freakin' out, which sucked because we watched it at 2:00 AM after homecoming.

Something about watching people rip out their own livers and eyeballs gets me. Just a little.

It was completely fake and the acting was bad, but it scared the CRAP out of me. I'll never watch it again.

"Three minutes then flip?!!!" ROTFL!!!!! Man that was so funny. I saw Scary Movie 3 which is mostly a parody of the Signs and that was hilarious but they didn't have barbequeing cats. I remember in the beginning someone says "the dogs are acting weird tonight" - and then you show them smoking a water pipe and driving around with a lawn mower!!! Ahem, right... this was about a scary movie, not the Scary Movie. Signs scared me too, I flinched when the guy cut off the alien's fingertips and my mom asked me if it's too scary for me. And I was like 19 then! All the way to the end I was in belief that it was all a great misunderstanding and the aliens were really friendly. It made me feel a bit dumb to notice they're allergic to water.

Another movie that scared me was Terminator 3. I watched it in the movie theatre with my first boyfriend and it still saddens me he didn't comfort me when I was scared, I think he was saying something like that could relly happen in the future. Human-looking robots are one of my biggest nightmares and those skeletal metal creatures killing people, stepping on skulls of thousands, that's like an army of zombies. And the little flying robot vessels... You knew everything was gonna go wrong when they activate the Skynet, but still you were thinking there must be some way to win. But there's not, all you can do is hide in shelters built in case of a nuclear attack. What an awful life.

"28 days later", the English SF. Not the zombies were scary for me, but the scene where the main character, after waking up from a coma, walks through an empty London slowly understanding the horror of what happened. (The music was great too, at that point).

The worse part was that the theather showed the movie from 00 to 02 in the night - no more trains for me to get home so I had to bike 8-9 km to get home. It was freaky, the city was so quiet. *shiver*

[Crosshair]

Oh, not forgetting.... "is that a bite?"

"...no"

*hacks him to death*

yes, 28 days later scared me...

[Dee]

The Others scared me very, very much!

Oh, and also What Lies Beneath!! I couldn't sleep for a week, although it's not that scary, but still!

[Crosshair]

DEE!!!!!


Yes, The Others scared me too.
