But it's a really good movie. I recommend it to all horror fans.

I still havent seen that! I have heard that it wasnt scary so I never even wanted to see it. ..I am going to watch it now.

In the mouth of Madness was really spooky. But i never see it anywhere, its one of those you have to look for. Very very good. and quite creepy...

I dont know if anyone is still posting on this thread

, but I am. So ha.

I thought that Silent Hill was creepy too. I think that I liked the game Silent Hill 2 better than the movie, though. Anyway, there you go.

Silence of the Lambs did a number on me, man, when I first saw it and even now to watch it again truly head-effs me. Now THAT was a scary film. "Do you hear the lambs, Clarisse?" "It puts the lotion on its skin!!!" shudder...

But not much else really scares me anymore, mainly because I avoid filling my mind with useless negative horrific trash like the super-horrifying stuff they put out nowadays, like Saw or whatever. I got better things to do with my 2 hours and my imagination and time.

The Vanishing, not so much scared me but disturbed me greatly. Jeff Bridges played an incredibly deranged psycho in this movie. Also starred Keifer Sutherland.

When I was really young, those trees in the forest that attack Dorothy and Co. in The Wizard of Oz gave me nightmares! Ugh - those faces!

It's the prequel film to Silence of the Lambs that really bothered me. That "Red Dragon" got pretty disturbing, toward the end. So I didn't finish it. I turned it off about three quarters of the way through.

When I was very, very young, I got extremely scared of Bambi. The part where Bambi's mother gets shot by hunters got me really, really scared, so I would get off the sofa and hide behind it during that scene.

Silence of the Lambs didn't really scare me that much, mostly because I never got to see it all at one time.

I never saw the Vanishing though. I heard it was really good. I kinda wish that they would make more movies out of books, like by Dean Koontz and things like that.

That scared me too; and those flying monkey creatures at the wicked witch's castle.

Hannibal, and, I'm guessing Red Dragon, were pretty much just scare flicks. Silence of the Lambs, however, was, in the truest sense, a horror film. A movie which did not rely upon visuals, (though it wasn't afraid to use them); it was a very cerebral kind of horror, which is the best by far.

Lief Erikson · 08-30-2007, 02:54 PM

I didn't see Hannibal. I really enjoyed Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon was very well made- I've heard it's much better than Hannibal was. It was very well crafted-the directors fully achieved exactly what they were after-but I didn't think that what they were after was something worth achieving or right to seek to achieve. It gives so much power and glory to evil . . . context of that world, there is no power higher than that of evil, but I find that a very negative message. It glorifies evil.

I didn't find "Silence of the Lambs" the same, though. I didn't get the impression in that one that evil was the highest power. Evil was always on the run throughout that movie, on the defensive, trying to evade the good guys. Except as regards Hannibal, I guess, but he was not an all-powerful evil one trying to hunt down our good guys. "Red Dragon," on the other hand, presents the good guys incessantly on the defensive struggling against superior evil powers. The evil powers pretty much take the place of God in terms of their authority in "Red Dragon." I expect that it's that way in a lot of horror films.

Nautipus · 10-01-2007, 08:54 PM

That really is the essence of the horror genre, an inescapable and overpowering evil is presented to the characters, and through a series of daring moves and self-sacrifice (not always willful sacrifice, by the way), there is some kind of intervention, and the characters are saved, rather than having rescued themselves.

I'm still a big fan of the genre, though.
