      3 Horror movies got me hooked to the whole genre

      The whole "nightmare on Elm st" myth - of him invading dreams, the sing, the back story etc just got me hooked as a kid

      Exorcist blew me away.. I saw it at 12 years old.. of all the moments, my mum walked in just as she had her crucifix scene (not going to elaborate) - she flew in to a rage.. took me and the VHS tape to the rental video store i had borrowed it from and demanded they tell her why they were letting a 12 yo borrow movies like this lol

      Carrie was also an amazing film to me - that scene at the prom.. just epic

        It's tough to top the classics like Exorcist and Amityville Horror.  :afr:

        But my all time favorite from the moment I watched it until now is- Cabin In The Woods! A horror movie made for horror fans.   :cheesy2:

        OMG Amityville.. I remember the 2nd one.. with the brother shivers

          I forgot about Carrie!! There have been some really good adaptations of Stephen King books- but the one that really got me and totally horrified/sucked the life out of me at the end was- The MIST! Daaamn.  :afr2: :afr2:

          Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.
          But shout it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

              You have got to watch The Mist! Just be prepared with some nice DC film to take the edge off after. Have you seen Justice League: Dark? That was pretty good and tons of fun! Have it on after watching Mist. You'll need it.  :laugh:

              Besides, there's also going to be a Mist TV series coming- and it looks REALLY good too! Be sure to watch the movie first.

                        The Fly…saw it as a kid and it still resonates. Took an age growing up to go near the creatures, still today treat them as evil.

                                I'd like to add John Carpenter's 1982 edition of The Thing.
                                Really gut wrenching and filled with an intense paranoia unmatched by any other movie I've seen.  :afr:

                                  The new French movie "Raw" is very good.

                                      So many possibilities, to narrow down to one.

                                      For a variety of reasons, I'll choose a dark horse – The Abandoned (2007), starring Anastasia Hille and Karl Roden.  Shot mostly in rural Russia, it is beautifully filmed, intelligent, and quite horrific – a tale of family evil, interlaced with some time-shifting themes that caused a lot of casual viewers to "not get it" and assign low reviews.

                                      I also think this film suffers from a title that's shared by at least two other movies in the past decade, which is confusing and unfortunate.

                                      The IMDB description for The Abandoned is really quite nondescript, but, anyway:

                                      "An adopted woman returns to her home country and the family home that she never knew, and must face the mystery that lies there."

                                      I have watched it possibly 20 times, and pick up nuances and subtle plot lines with each successive viewing.  The unique Russian locale, plus some visceral gore and excellent special effects, make this one to recommend.

                                        …and although there's no thread for favorite horror short film, I would choose the controversial, even transgressive, Aftermath (1994).  It's an ice-cold stomach churner that made me a real fan of director Nacho Cerda.

                                            I was a lil monster growing up all I watched was horror.
                                            I don't really get scared but the others was a super good thriller and the exorcist show is so fucking good. Well played story line and it just felt like real.
