Yes, these are all quite terrifying. Staying on topic of exorcism movies, "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" scared the **** out of me and I, like you, do not believe in the devil. Still, I couldn't sleep after watching that movie.

I'm sure someone mentioned this one, but "Paranormal Activity" is really terrifying. The sequels not so much. Another good movie that came out a couple of years ago called "House of the Devil" is really good too. It's got a slow build, but by the end of the movie, you will be terrified!

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Strangers

These movies scared me. Most don't. I love horror movies - they're my favorite genre. I don't find slasher/gore films even the least bit frightening - they're just bloody and gross. But I'll watch them sometimes, though mostly they bore me. I like demons, monsters, ghosts & real scary sh*t.

Oh - also - The Fourth Kind. The first hour scared the bloody hell out of me.

Midnight Meat Train. This movie was disturbing - at one point I had to turn it off and just make some food and watch some lighthearted TV. All in all it was pretty lame, but had it's good moments.

Slasher films don't do anything for me either. I like a good scary well made thriller. But regarding Emily Rose, I've never seen it but my brother and sil rented that when it came out and was in the middle of the film busy watching it and all of a sudden papers in the kitchen started flying off the fridge they'd stuck up with magnets from the kids' school projects and stuff. They turned that movie off and told me about it the next day and to not watch it. Now for those here who don't believe and are snickering, there are us others who do and that you can open doors and invite the unknown in if you let them.

That said, I have never seen the film to see what it's all about, to even know.

Ive aactually never really been into scary/horror/gory/etc movies before...Ive just always been too scared and then it would take me like forever to fall asleep at night. Oh and not to mention I HATE when things pop out of no where and freak me the **** out lol I scream and then hide under the blanket...and then those bloody ones are just gross lmao I could barely handle my own blood let alone gushing blood on tv....and paranormal movies freak me out too...then when I go to bed I think something is there lol

Ive been into scary movies lately for some reason and yet I still get scared lmao but not as bad

I'm not a huge scary movie guy because... well... they scare me.

One of the few scarier films that I've seen more than once that always freaks me out is 28 Days Later.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was fantastic! Gotta check into The Strangers.

I recently watched and enjoyed "INSIDIOUS" - It's sorta low rent, but creepy in all darkest places of your mind! And beside Patrick Wilson being hard on the eyes, Barbara Hershey gives Karen Black a run for her campy creepiness throne. She's getting quite good at this type of role, think Black Swan.

DEVIL was also "entertaining" enough. It starts out more disturbing, then became unintentionally laugh out loud, everytime the lights went off in the elevator I was highly amused!

Oh!! And my favorite new twisted campy horror TV show is AMERICAN HORROR STORY on FX! Gotta check this out. I've only seen 2 episodes, but it is movie quality sh*t! All perverse and creepy...I LOVE THIS!

Dream House was not scary, but it was really well acted (as directed by Jim Sheridan) and it is BEAUTIFUL to look at (shot by the GREAT MONSTER GENIUS D.P. Caleb Deschanel). Despite its flaws, I appreciated its social understanding: as the nightmares of one house destroy the dreams of another.

Ten Greatest Horror Films (1 per director)

1. The Fury (Brian De Palma, 1978)
2. The Birds (Alfred Hitchcock, 1963)
3. Vampyr (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1932)
4. Exorcist II: The Heretic (John Boorman, 1977)
5. The Company of Wolves (Neil Jordan, 1984)
6. Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)
7. Nosferatu (F.W. Murnau, 1922)
8. Ganja & Hess (Bill Gunn, 1973)
9. Near Dark (Kathryn Bigelow, 1987)
10. The Innocents (Jack Clayton, 1961)


ETA: The eight-minute short Hearts of Age (Orson Welles, 1934) is the scariest movie I've ever seen. I saw it in junior high as a bonus feature on a Citizen Kane Laserdisc. I swore I would never see it again. . . and I still haven't broken that oath.

I did see Insidious - I enjoyed it, but found it started off far better than it ended.

I *love* American Horror Story. I'm already annoyed that I have to wait in between episodes. I'm curious as to what Zachary Qunito's role will be; I loved him as Sylar in Heroes and hope that he's playing an equally disturbed role. It's those eyes!

Oh this Insidious movie has Patrick Wilson in it? I'll definitely have to watch then...

The Shining and The Exorcist scare me pretty good. The Thing ( the one from the 80s with Kurt Russell) is pretty darn creepy too.

Ohhh.. almost forgot...The Strangers with Liv Tyler.

Yeah, the first The Thing remake (the Kurt Russell one) was pretty damned scary!

Not so much "scary", as "thriller", Enough with J-Lo, Billy Campbell, Noah Wylie & Fred Ward.
