Revisited The Shining Tuesday night what with halloween just passing, I was in the mood. Like Celshaw I love horror films and this has got to be the most epic horror film of all time.

Based on a Stephen King novel and being directed by Stanley Kubrick, you can't really go wrong. And then throw in the guy that has the most insane face in the history of film, the one and only Jack Nicholson (one of my all time favourite actors, who also oddly reminds me of my dad). Scene is set in desolation, cut off from the world. Throw in the kid with the freaky imaginary friend voice "Redrum redrum!", spooky twins, and the head of your household becoming barking mad and trying to butcher you with an axe - what more could horror fans ask for!

Anyone else think this is the best horror film ever?

The most disturbing film i have seen bar none is the original The Last House On The Left!

First watched it wen i was like 14, seriously messed wit my head.......seein someone getting raped at that age did summin to my mind :s

The original I Spit On Your Grave is similar content, equally fucked up.

I watched it again a few years later to see if it was jus me bein a lil pussy hole 14 yr old............how wrong i was........

The remake is pretty pansy in comparison (obviously)

I'm tryin to remember the name of a horro film i saw not too long ago.

It starred Liv Tyler. It was about a couple stayin in their inlaws house for the weekend. They get a knock on the door and some strange girl is there asking for Jimmy, but Jimmy dont live there lol
It turns out that she is one of 3 ppl scoping the house, a family it seems, all in freaky masks. They spend the rest of the film scaring the living shite out of liv tyler and the lead actor but in proper subtle and "lurking in the background" type ways.

Really got into it due to the atmos created.

Anyone recognise it?

that was on normal telly a few weeks back

proper mad!



anyone like rob zombies films?

House of 1000 Corpses & Devils Rejects F.....T.....W!!!!!!

Seriously epic filmage!

proper! i preferred 1000 corpses tbh, devils rejects i thought was a bit samey & mainstream

he should make more films tho

Agreed......

The prolonged silence in the scene where the cops on his knees about to get his head blown off, I cnt remember which one of the films its in, but its right at the end i think, was intense.......sittin there stoned out my tree with my mates, all of us shouting "SHOOT HIM, KILL HIM!" lol The suspense was killa!

Yep,the strangers - I thought that was quite boring actually, it didn't have me hooked.


I haven't seen that but I really want to, it's suppose to be one of the best Horrors EVER! (well, so the critics say anyway)

OI - careful of spoilers!! ;)

Thats the one!!!

I'll admit it take a bity to get into it, but i think some of the scenes r quite clever. The feeling u get of them always bein there but not being able to see em.

I enjoyed it anywho lol


Critics also told me that Avatar was one of the greatest films ever made........wot a load of bollox that was.

Trust me, that spoils nuthing lol.........

Oh, I have to give the Final Destination films a mention as I think they're great entertainment - not at all scary, but the way people die is just horror comedy gold!

Snape kills Trinity with Rosebud

Luckily that makes no sense what-so-ever to me!

The nailgun through the back of the head in No. 3 is jokes

Speaking of back of the head killings............American Psycho!!! "Hey Paul....ARRRGGGHHHHH" lol

I went to see that to the cinema on a first date... my suggestion, I really didn't know what is was about, funnily enough, that relationship didn't last the week, I think he was a bit scared.

For anyone who hasn't seen Piranha.. then do... the carnage those wicked little fishes cause is brilliant!!

The Texas Chainsawe Massacre - When he plunges the chainsaw into the cripple's chest. Fucking yeah. Take that you cunt.

I liked it when the girl was screaming and they were all copying her... I've been watching the history of horror, and apparently, they say what makes that film is not the gore or the atmosphere it's the sounds and the piercing screams. I find the TCM difficult to watch!
