It's not that old, about 3 or 4 years I think.. I'm always trying to get people to watch it so they can share my disgust!

I'll be sure to let you know what I think....=) You ever here of a movie called "Cannibal Holocaust"? Think it came out in 1980. Supposedly, some of the scenes were so realistic they actually tried to prosecute the film makers. Then they banned the movie. I've never seen it, but they say it's the most controversial movie of all time.

You're right. The Lost Boys is as much a teen/comedy/'let's sell the kids a a soundtrack' film as a horror.
Seen it!
Saw The Entity recently and thought it was okay, if slightly laughable in places. If you want a good dose of horror these days, look towards France and films like 'Martyrs' and 'Switchblade Romance'.
I turned off Silent Hill after a while. Seemed to me to be a boring rip-off of Clive Barker/Lucio Fulci type stuff.
I thought Eden Lake was great - disturbing, tho!
Love The Thing.
The effects still astonish today - very imaginative - and the atmosphere is spot on.The Lost Boys was always a 15 cert, so not really that gory even in its day.
Discussed earlier in this thread. If you've seen the uncut version, all the stuff depicting violence towards animals is real. I've only seen the cut version and I'm gonna leave it that way. It's nasty, but i'd argue worth seeing as an early 'reality' horror film.

Not seen eden lake, isn't the young lad out of " This is england" in it?
A couple of my favourites of the last few years.
Man On Fire-Denzel Washington, sen it lots of times and still love it.
Fish Tank- Not an easy one to watch but very gritty and real.
Dead Man's Shoes- A Shane meadows classic and quite disturbing in it's own way.
Hunger-About Bobby sands and the hunger strikes.
Wonderland- About john holmes when he finished making porn.

Dead Man's Shoes is a really good film although I thought Gary Stretch could have endured a worse death, such a good twist at the end I was watching the film thinking 'Ants brother' was going a bit over the top but the ending is very sad.
I just wiki'd the Cannibal Holocaust - really want to watch that now and I still haven't even got round to watching Irreversable

I adore Dead Man's Shoes. It's my favourite recent(ish) film. There's not much to it, yet I could watch it over and over. I love Paddy C.'s performance, the soundtrack, the way it begins with a strain of humour and by the end is quite emotionally wrenching.
Another creepy one to watch is Lost Highway - actually might be my favourite David Lynch film and so one of my fave films ever - but it's a proper head f***.

Not heard of that one, i'll have to look out for it.
Dead Mans shoes is class, paddy c and gary stretch are both very good, a room for romeo brass is worth a watch too.

I can admire Eraserhead, but it's not really a film I've bonded with.
My favourite Lynchs are:
Blue Velvet
Wild at Heart (a 'fun' one!)
Lost Highway
Twin Peaks: Firewalk With Me (very dark)
The Elephant Man (*sob*)
Each of those would probably find a space in my top 10 films of all time.

I've seen fire walk with me (f'd up agreed!) and wild at heart some of blue velvet recently but I think I saw it a long time ago and the end of the original Twin Peaks movie just freaks me right out. Love the weirdness of Lynch I can imagine how some people wouldn't even give 5 minutes of their time to his films though!
