"Have-to-see-movies"

[INreducible]

Have-to-see-movies, any ideas?

I'm looking for something that doesnt have a ending you would be able to guess before the movie even starts.
Pherhaps something like "the ring"
Doenst matter if the movies is very krytic, that just means I gotta see it more times, allthough I'd like if the movie atleast makes some sence at the end.

Hope You'll help me out.

(sorry if my spelling sucks, what can I say, I'm from Denmark :-s)

Hi there.

Have-to-see?
Subtle?
Superb ending?
Cryptic?
Thought provoking?
When you watch it again you see it from a different angle?

In The Mouth Of Madness.

Frailty

1-The Night Stalker (original TV-movie)
2-"Home" episode of The X-Files
3-"Hush" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

If you really want to see a scary movie with a great plot and a movie that will keep you guessing till the end, see "Gothika." If you liked the "Sixth Sense" and "The Ring" then you will absolutely love "Gothika!"

[INreducible]

Thanks alot, I'm gonna check it out.

[INreducible]

Well, saw Gothika yesterday, it was pretty nice, all though the ending was a bit stereo, if you know what I mean.
A friend of mine has Session 9 on DVD (or VHS, whatever, cant remember), så I'm gonna see it later on.

Wanna see a couple movie endings that you'll NEVER see coming and that you'll NEVER forget?! Try NEKROMANTIK and NEKROMANTIK 2 on for size.

Session 9, well... as my best would say "OMFG"
For once in more years than I can remember, I was a bit creeped out after watching a movie.
I tried finding "NEKROMANTIK", but no one i Denmark has ever heared, or seen it.

[Rat_bytes]

What's Session 9 about, sounds good.

Greatest horror/comedy I ever saw was Evil Dead III: Army of Darkness. Bruce Campbell is THE MAN!!!

They're German flicks from the late 80's and early 90's but they've been recently released on DVD. Here's the link...

Even though you'll probably have a good idea that they're all gonna get eaten by cannibals by the end of the movie, I'd suggest the Italian film CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST by Ruggero Deodato. At least you get to see how it all leads up to what happened, and it is quite the chunkblower in it's own right.

Good?! No. It's *excellent*.

But it is a film that you have to watch and not expect to blow your head off. It's a subtle film, and one that builds to a climax. It has an incredibly creepy atmosphere is my favourite US horror movie of the last couple of years.

What's it about?
Well, it's about an asbestos clean up crew who win the contract to gut an abandoned insane asylum. I really don't want to say any more about it than that as, if you ever see it, you are much better letting it work on you not knowing where it's headed.

If you "do subtle" I would unhesitatingly recommend it.

[Rat_bytes]

Oh, I love subtle. Subtle can be a hell of a lot scarier than "In your face blood and guts", but I'm not complaining about the latter, mind.

Dreamcatcher? can you explain why you liked this movie? i thought it was terrible. my friends at work liked it too, but they all had read the book....

[Alucard]

Try "the company of wolves", Stephen King's "children of the corn" and "final destination 2". I don't think that those movies are scary, but definetily unpredictable.

I'm back from teh Tokyo :D (was pretty nice vocation trip)

[Rat_bytes]

Nah, Dreamcatcher was a boring, crappy book, and a boring, predictable, crappy movie. The best Stephen King movie ever was the Shawshank Redemption.
The greatest stephen king horror film ever was probably The Shining.
