Films....

The descent is scarey particularly the last scene of the film! Especially if you are slightly claustrophobic! I agree about special effects I dont like them I often find that the eerieness of halloween and Friday the 13th was what made it scarey, theres something creepy about old films with sh*t effects.

A newer film I did find very weird and scarey even with effects was Silent Hill

The most awful film I've ever seen which bothered me for some time after is Eden Lake, it almost made me angry that it was released.. I think it's quite an irresponsible film!

I couldn't agree more. The original "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" are classics. They started a whole new genre. And yeah, "Silent Hill" was a particularly creepy horror film. I was impressed. Actually watched it on TV today...=) Never saw "Eden Lake". But based on your review, I think I'll skip it..=)
 
The Thing is older but to me it is a classic horror film. The omen remake was also good. Another film to take a look at is the Others with Nicole Kidman
 
Silent hill is an adaptation of a computer game is it not? it was odd and not really my thing at all.Wtf was the fella with the carving knife arm all about?

Yeah, Silent Hill was based on a video game. The game was pretty creepy too. And I can't tell you what the deal was with those crazy pyramid head knife arm guys, other than they were a bit disturbing. I guess thats what made creepy for me. It's almost something you'd expect to see in Hell. Ya know?
 
There is one "gorey for it's time" bit in the lost boys where they eat the gang of baldy men and rip their heads off but you can't see it very well and compared to todays Saw's and Hostel's it is nothing, TLB is more about the nstory than being scarey. As for Eden Lake it's not a horror and I wish more people had seen it so I could discuss my anger lol it just shook me a bit how graphic and real it was

So what would you classify "Eden Lake" as? Maybe suspense or the like? I can't say I've ever even heard of it. But sounds like it was pretty disturbing. Those extra realistic ones are hard to take sometimes. OHHHHH!!!! I almost forgot. Another newer one that was absolutely fantastic was "The Strangers". OH MAN. That was one that sent chills down my spine. Still creeps me out to this day. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it. And if you really want to get freaked out, watch it stoned...HAHA!!

The Strangers sounds familiar - not seen it but is someone quite famous in it? Or am I thinking of The Others with Nicole Kidman
 
Eden Lake is a British film similar to the strangers only harder to stomach, the ending has a good twist but it's but it's not a happy one!
 
It's worth watching just so you can give your opinion about it. The only 2 people I've ever spoke to who had seen the film agreed that it is a disturbing film of the highest order

HA!! I'll see if I can find it or download it. Kind of hard to get movies where I'm at. But once I watch it, I'll definitely give you my opinion.
