Favorite Horror Movie

How is Requiem for a Dream a horror movie?

I guess my favorite would probably be Alien. Does Jacob's Ladder count? That one is cool. I also like In the Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon. Oh yeah, and Flowers in the Attic. Louise Fletcher...yikes.

Favorite modern? I haven't seen many, but I might go with Silent Hill. It was surprisingly good. Or maybe I'm just a sucker for the game-related stuff. Not to mention Alice Kridge and Sean Bean. They both seem so underrated.

How ya doing, buddy?

My sister likes In the Mouth of Madness as well and I haven't really talked to anyone else about it. I guess it could be hard to follow at some points, but yeah, I like the ambitious nature of it, and Sam Neill is always a plus. As for Alien, I like the whole sci-fi element and, well, "Alien" atmosphere of it. It's an easy pick though I honestly didn't give it much thought. I don't consider myself a truly hardcore fan of horror movies. There are some highly regarded movies in the genre that I haven't seen yet, like The Shining and The Exorcist. I guess I should hop to it, though I must admit that I worry a little about being more affected by a scary movie than I want to be. As lame as this might sound, I actually found myself thinking about the little girl from the The Ring for a few days after watching it, despite the fact that I didn't find the actual movie to be scary. Needless to say, those nights waiting for my TV to turn on by itself weren't very pleasant. Is the Exorcist really that scary? Maybe if I just think of Repossessed while I'm watching it?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
