Horror Movies that are actually frightening and don't suck

[CrimsonBolt]

Maniac (2012) I don't have seen the old movie, but this one was pretty brutal!

Talking about brutal...

Hostel (the two first movie, the third suck...)

The second movie Hannibal (2001) had The Silence of the Lambs director, Jonathan Demme leave. He wasn't happy with both producer Dino De Laurentiis (who both he and his wife Martha De Laurentiis owned the rights to the Hannibal Lecter character) or with Thomas Harris the author. Demme wanted a quick follow-up. However, Harris took his time in writing Hannibal. Seven or eight years. So he did not want to take part in its sequel and adaption. It also had the The Silence of the Lambs screenwriter Ted Lally not want to be associated with it either. And then Jodie Foster, who had won the Academy Award as Best Actress from it, did not want to be in as well.

Jodie Foster didn't feel comfortable with the David Mamet / Stephen Zallian screenplay. She read the entire script. She also read the novel. She objected to Ridley Scott about Giancarlo Giannini's (as Chief Inspector Rinaldo Pazzi) disembowelment/hanging/death scene in the Piazza Veccio in Florence. Then she complained to Ridley Scott about the three scenes in Ray Liotta's (Deputy Attorney General Paul Krendler) house that she would do with Anthony Hopkins. She thought that they were disturbing. And especially the way Krendler would be killed. She said from the outset that if the script was too violet or gory that she would decline. She also said that the Mamet /Zallian screenplay was quite different than the Thomas Harris novel. But Ridley Scott wasn't about to have any changes made to the script or to the scenes. So she called CAA, her representatives, and said no to the offer.

I read most of Thomas Harris - he does seem to break for years between books - great info.

Horror picture here is The Cell (2000) .. Starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio.

Vincent D'Onofrio,who plays NYPD Detective Robert Goren from TV's Law and Order: Criminal Intent, is known to play some very strange, sometimes very demented and disturbed characters in movies and films.

• He played Private Leonard Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. Pyle shoots and kills R. Lee Emory as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the bathroom the night that his Marine platoon are about to ship out after completing Basic Training. Then he turns the rifle on himself and commits suicide. Here he is with Matthew Modine and of course, R. Lee Emory later in the scene. Please be warned. The scene is very intense and graphic.

• Then he played Edgar, the Leader of the Insects, in Men In Black. He was the main antagonist in that. Going up against Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

• Here he plays serial killer, Carl Stargher who tortures Vince Vaughn as FBI Special Agent Peter Novak in The Cell. With Jennifer Lopez

Please be warned. Note that this next scene is also very intense and graphic.

(The three first) Final Destination

The Toolbox Murders (2004)

 

[CrimsonBolt]

The Boy (a mix between Annabelle, Toolbox Murders & Texas Chainsaw Massacre) pretty cool!

Talking about Annabelle, I'm not a huge fan of these films, but the last one Annabelle Comes Home was pretty good!

We watched the original Poltergeist last night. I am going to try and find and watch as many of your recommendations as I can. Keep em coming!

Creepshow 2 is alright. The first one is outstanding obviously. I'm going to order the TV Series (1st Season) on Blu-ray soon.

My favorite all-time Horror film is still The Exorcist. That one is special to me and might always be #1.

👍

The E.G. Marshall scenes ...

We watched the original Poltergeist last night. I am going to try and find and watch as many of your recommendations as I can. Keep em coming!

In Poltergeist II, the multi-talented Julian Beck (writer, actor, producer, and director) as Reverend Kane. He's scary at first. But he grows on you.

The documentary that I put up of The Exorcist, where nine people, actors, crew, set personnel, etc., associated with the movie died while filming it.

There is another trilogy in which people died. That is Poltergeist.

Julian Beck was another victim of the Poltergeist curse. As was Heather O'Rouke, and Dominique Dunne. Beck and O'Rourke died from illnesses. Dunne was murdered. Another actor Lou Perryman from Poltergeist was also murdered but that was almost two decades later.

By the way, IMDb does reverse Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams as the leading stars. Poltergeist has Nelson; Poltergeist II has Williams. Why is that?

^ I knew that some actors of Poltergeist died, but I didn't know about The Exorcist.
What I knew about the Exorcist is, Christian people send death threat letter to the poor little girl that played on that film, that's how nice these people are...

Also I heard that they used real bones in Poltergeist, Some people said that the curse has come with that.

Anyway, I don't not believe in a curse, for the exorcist, did you ever seen a Behemoth video clip? They are more Satanic that the exorcist movie.
And all the member are still alive... Actually Nergal survived from leukemia, it's just coincidence.

John Landis' entry into this thread ... David Naughton stars.

Halloween (2007) I like the old one too, but this version is more brutal, and I like how they tell the story of young Michael Myers (he's mom is a stripper, he's stepfather is an alcoholic and he doesn't like Micheal, also he got bullied at school...) so you understand why he's snap!
