In Reply to: Most effective Horror movie?? posted by Mr.Mc on June 26, 2001 at 16:53:41:
Try "Repulsion". If that doesn't make The Shining look like a high school drama play, I'll give you $5. Then you can rent "Knife in the Water".Then try "Hunger" - it is horrifying. And for a more polished fear - "M" will do fine. All make the Shining look plastic.
Clarifier: The Shining is not a bad film, but I don't see much horror in it. Beautiful surrealism, yes, but horror?

Wow! Thanks for the tips!I'll gather up all the titles and see what I can find at the video shop. I was looking for interesting posts and found them! It's my goal to check out all the great almost forgotten horror films, and add them to a video library i have. I like a movie i can watch more than once.
Dario Argento makes good Italian horror films... susperia being one of my fav's.
I had no idea about the other films you folks have brought up. I'm anxious to view them (for some strange reason) ;-9
Thanks much!-thomas
Victor's has mentioned it before, so I'll nominate "The Vanishing" [aka "Spoorloos" (France, 1988)] as a modern horror nightmare that is effective because it could actually happen. Just don't confuse it with the lame 1993 American remake with Kiefer Sutherland.
That's the one I was missing... I remembered something completely horrifying... but could not put my finger on it.Thanks... and brrrrr....
Well, happy watching...
