Well its obviously not "all time" but "for the time" as in, when those movies came out. Sure, Jaws was extremely scary back then, but now... ehh... not so much, same with Willy Wonka and THe Wizard of Oz, scary then, not really now. I'd like to see an "all time" list.
Funny, but before i even looked at the list, i picked "Alien" as being the # 1 scariest movie. It wasn't so much scary as it was suspenseful. Fucking movie made me jump quite a few times when i first saw it.
'the ring' and 'the grudge' scared me quite a bit for newer movies ... almost on the same level as being 12 watching 'the omen' or 'the amityville horror', which btw didnt even make the list ... it was by far one of the creepiest movies i watched as a kid....
one they the talked about that looked pretty scary was audtion :
Most of the movie a romance story... Boring stuff if you're looking for a horror movie... Then it drastically changes into the deliciously disgusting torture scene. First time I saw it, I wanted to throw up. Now I get off to it.
I am a really big Wes Craven fan, imho he does horror better than John Carpenter...Stephen King is also a good writer, but i like his books over his movies.
ya i saw audition it was pretty nuts not SCARY just ummmmmm dont know how to explain it really all i know is the end of the movie is GENIOUSLY BIZARRE i think thats good for it. Takeshi Miike which is the director of that movie is a genious in my opinion when it comes to making movies here are some of his titles if you wish to look for some
Ichi the Killer-best movie ive ever seen in my opinion
Gozu
Dead or Alive- Most unexpected ending to a movie (Thiers 2 more of these dead or alive movies also)
Visitor Q
Full Metal Yakuza
Thier about 40 movies/tv shows he has check out Takeshi Miike on google or something to find em
Ya its from ichi but not ichi himself. When you look for it try and get it Uncut cause in the cut version they cut out sooooo much but if you can only find it cut then its still worth watching. Its a great movie.
