What Movie REALLY scared you? - Page 4

Grey_Wolf · 03-09-2006, 05:40 AM

Perhaps "gory" would be more correct term for the fly.

Mark of Cenla · 03-17-2006, 04:40 PM

For me it was Alien. Peace.

Tamuril Sirfalas · 03-28-2006, 03:19 PM

A movie that really scared me was Frailty. Creepissimo!

Most movies about werewolves tend to frighten me to some degree.

Now that's the type of film I enjoy. Loved the manipulation of the sons, by the father. Any movie in which a father urges his sons to kill random people with an axe is cool in my book. It was an axe, right? I don't remember now...

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 03:07 AM

28 Days Later got me going. Creepy friggin' flick. Nice & creepy. Not much freaks me out, but this one got close. 28 Days Later, and alsoThe Ring.

Loved that movie!

Yeah it was an axe with the name "Otis" carved into it. He(the father) found it in a barn.

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 03:21 AM

Is this a movie we can rent? I neve rheard of it yet, this Frailty - is it like when Shakespeare said "Frailty, thy name is woman?" Or, wasn't that Hamlet who said that to his mother whatsherface, or whatver...

Is this an american slasher flick, or from another country? Is it truly scary, or just marginally disturbing? I like my scary flix nice and disturbing.

Ohhh, it's disturbing all right. Yeah it's been out for awhile now. It's got Bill Paxton and Mathew McConaughey in it. I won't give away to much, just say it's about a family, a father and two sons, who believe God has given them instructions to kidnap and murder people in his name. They use an axe named "Otis" and it gets pretty freaky from there. You should definitely check it out.

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 03:35 AM

Thanks for the intel! Maybe I'll check it out, but now that you mention both Bill Paxton & Matthew McConaghey, well Bill's interesting and Matthew's eye-candy but I don't see either one of those two even slightly giving me any legitimate creeps, so... I would just be putting my hand over my mouth the whole time, trying not to giggle at Bill Paxton trying to be creepy, or giggle at Matt McConaghey trying to scare an audience.

A so-called scary movie has really got to have something or someone uniquely disturbing in it, or about it, for it to sucessfully scare me even a little bit. Guess I've seen way too much real life for movies to be able to have a fun effect on me any more, dammit.

Silence Of the Lambs was pretty effective, though, now that I think about it. Fava beans and a nice Chianti; what what?

Anthony Hopkins is awesome.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-29-2006, 03:47 AM

Ohh, you won't giggle. Bill Paxton performance was outstanding in it. It's not your typical "leap out and scare" type movie. Nor is it the "hack 'em up" bloody type either. It's more of a " woh, that's not right" type movie.

If that makes sense.

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 04:00 AM

Is it the one where he's working at a firm of some sort, and he pretends to get along with his obnoxious, younger boss, a guy he loathes, a guy who has a one-night office Christmas party fling with Bill Paxton's daughter (I think, played by Scarlett Johanssen if I remember right), and stuff happens, weird stuff... is this the same movie?

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-29-2006, 04:13 AM

What?!!

No!! Thats some cheesy romantic comedy with the kid from "that 70's Show", and I think you got Bill Paxton mixed up with Dennis Quid(sp?).

Edit- here's a copy of the DVD cover for you to check out. BTW, I forgot that Bill Paxton also directed the movie.

*in a hypnotic voice* You want to see this film.

Bill Paxton - wait, he's that disgusting, uber-creepy guy who currently plays the polygamist Christian Mormon on the new HBO show Big Love, right? *Convulsive shudder* Ugh, ewww, him? He is so gross, so gross!! No, no, I was thinking of David Arquette, or something, I was totally off, it wasn't a Bill Paxton movie I was describing. Uk uk uk uk shudder shudder shudder -

Ug ug uk uk uk - sorry, just - uk uk uk - tryna shake the icky feeling I just got from picturing bill paxton -uk uk uk ewww ewwww ew uk *shudder*

I need a drink, now.

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 03-29-2006, 04:41 AM

Icky or not, if you pass on seing this film because of some mental picture of an "uber-creepy polygamist Christian Morman" I'd be very disapointed.

Edit- Did you even look at the link I gave you? If Stephen King and Sam Raimi, very good horror judges, liked it, could it be that bad?

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 04:50 AM

He's uber-creepy, tha Bill Paxton. I can already imagine how creepy and potentially scary such a movie of his would be. Maybe I'll see it one of these days, when it plays on a movie channel I've got here, I'll see it then. He definitely gives me some strong creeped-out chills; he'd be effective as a scary movie bad-guy.

Stephen King movies don't give me the creeps, except for It, (oooohhh, that Clown guy!) but his books sure do.

Lotesse · 03-29-2006, 05:05 AM

Here it is, the movie Frailty -

Fenton Meeks (Matthew McConaughey), comes forth to tell the FBI that his brother Adam may be the serial killer who calls himself God's Hands, who the FBI has been searching for. The film uses flashbacks to show Meeks' childhood with a father (Bill Paxton) who believed he was on a mission from God to destroy demons that inhabit human bodies. Fenton saw his dad as evil, while Adam saw him as a hero.

Oh, yeah. Bill Paxton does that kind of role to the "T"

An axe, indeed. *shudder* I actually had to keep an eye on my brother for the rest of the day, to make sure he wouldn't decide I was a demon.

A really good movie, IMO (though not actually scary) was the Others.

I'm pretty sure you just gave away nearly everything about it that can be given away.

Tim Curry's the name, I believe. (He was hilarious in Oscar.) That one was fairly creepy, yes. "Beep beep, Richie!"

Redrum...wait, wrong movie!

Absolutely. You made me think of it, and now I realize that it was the movie to give me the creeps. And Anthony Hopkins -

Hannibal was a huge disappointment for me, though...

**Nurvingiel** · 03-31-2006, 04:20 AM

Silence of the Lambs, and to a lesser extent, Hannibal scared the bejeezus out of me.

Hannibal wasn't as creepy, and the lack of Jodie Foster distracted me. Silence of the Lambs, however, scared the living crap out of me and I had a nightmare about Anthony Hopkins, not Hannibal but actually Anthony Hopkins, coming to murder me.

I mean, Ghost Ship didn't scare me a tenth as much, probably because it was silly.

I found Event Horizon was quite weird and creepy, solely because of the freakiness that Sean Neal can bring to a movie. Yoiks.

I try to avoid horror now.
