Let's talk movies that freak you the fork out...
Last night I watched Forgotten with Julianne Moore On Demand. It was weird and intriguing all the way through but I was tired and slipped off to sleep right when it was getting good. All of a sudden I woke up to DH saying, "Holy SH**!!!" He told me to rewind it and I watched (no spoiler) the crazy part that explained what was the "source" of what was happening (if you haven't seen it, she is convinced she had a child that died in a plane crash but everyone seems to either never have known him or be doing things to make him disappear so she'd forget him, so you sort of wonder 1) is there some conspiracy, or 2) is she looney and how that would have come to pass?).
The source scene and related ones as the movie went on freaked me the fork out. I had crazy dreams all night.
It was like an M. Night Shamalan movie.
What movies freak you out?

Re: Let's talk movies that freak you the fork out...
I do not watch such movies as I do not pay people to scare me. I can create paranoia all on my own.
Gothika freaked me out.
Also, When a Stranger Calls Back. I babysat a lot...shudder.
Ditto. The first (and last) scary movie I ever saw was The Blair Witch. A friend told me it was funny and I believed her. When we got home (she was my roommate) my dog was in her crate in the basement. I went down to get her and I swear I saw the Blair Witch in the corner of my basement and my dog wasn't there. I nearly broke my leg getting up the stairs (we had the kind that don't have the back part and I slipped and my leg went through) and I may or may not have peed myself a little. It was traumatizing.
Oh, and my dog was fine. She had called our other roommate and told her to put my dog in my bedroom before we got home. We aren't friends anymore.
Dang Kimmer - that is a hard core prank!
I didn't expect Forgotten to have the twist that it did or to be so freaky. I thought it was just a psychological drama.

Ok. Now you have to email me and give me the run down. I need to know what happened but I will never ever watch it.
And yeah, it was mean. We didn't end the friendship because of the Blair Witch thing, but it's a pretty good indication of what kind of person she was (is) and how our friendship was.
Kim - here is the full spoiler: http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/forgotten.html
This exactly. I can do mild psycho-thrillers...but they have to be more "action/plot" than "gore"..The last time I willingly volunteered for a scary/gory movie is when DH and I were dating and I agreed to see Hostel...oh.my.lord. I spent 98% of the movie staring into my lap and trying not to vomit from even just the SOUNDS of the gore-fest that was going on and literally did not speak a word for half an hour after the movie let out. Traumatized.
I now won't even watch previews for scary movies. Give me an Apatow comedy or a "Bourne..." / "Transporter" type action movie and I'm happy!
Whuck?
Whuck?
Oh my. Was this movie straight to DVD because that review/ transcript was just Redondiculous.
Haha Kimmer I see yo and your crazy story.
I enjoy scary movies. Jaws, Poltergiest, etc were favorite movies when I was a kid. We rented every VHS in the Horror movie section of the local video store over the years.
They have to have a plot though, more thriller and less gore. Very few of them truly freak me out.
I did watch the 2003 version of Texas Chainsaw Massacre mostly through my fingers though.
We frequently have Scary Movie Night at my house.
Shut. Up.
I had to read the ending twice. Which caused me to lose twice as many brain cells.
Bs, I didn't write the spoiler, I just linked it up.
Right.
OMG, me too!! I hated this movie and every time I babysat after seeing it I was on edge.
Exactly! I almost killed DH when he talked me into watching "I am Legend." I didn't realize there were things in the movie that would scare the cr@p out of me!
OMG that spoiler is horrible. It is kind of accurate but tells the story in the most boring way possible. It also leaves out some really interesting editing and directoral techniques where you are sort of watching what is happening from an aereal POV.
I wasn't crazy about how it ended, but liked the movie a lot more than Knowing with Nick Cage, which has some similar weird elements to it and an attempt at a gotcha scene at the end that isn't so gotcha after all. This movie had a much better "gotcha" effect, again along the lines of M Night Shamalan (but not QUITE that good). The feel of the movie was like The Village to me. Again not QUITE as good (or clever) as the Village but if you liked that movie, I think you'd like this one.
Selina, I don't think it went straight to DVD. I remember wanting to see it in the theater.

I find myself completely unable to concentrate on anything after reading that.
this! if it looks remotely scary, i dont watch it.
Aliens. They ate your brains.
We watched one of the Freddy Kruger movies (Nightmare on Elm Street?) when I was in middle school - then, afterwards, we went to go play a tape in my sister's room (yes, before CDs were popular), and it had gotten caught or something, so it was a low, slow-mo, slurred guy's voice - totally freaked us out! We stopped it and ran out of the room! lol. Now, if I saw a Freddy movie, I think I would laugh at the terrible (but good at that time) special effects!
I haven't seen a scary movie in a long time - but what would probably scare me most is something that might actually happen, not alien or monster stuff.
The Strangers scared the crap out of me mostly because it is based on a true story.
I just read on imbd that a possible sequel is being made.
Some more that are scary are The Shining,Seven, and Silence of the Lambs. Eek...
The movie An American Crime. It's a true disturbing story. Exorcist and Poltergeist.
But I love horror movies, I can pretty much watch any of them, I don't tend to watch the demonic one much though. I do like the religious history types though (like Knowing or The Rite, or Stigmata).
i get zero entertainment from creepy/scary movies. i can' even watch light-horror stuff like Scream without paranoia creeping in.
i also CANNOT watch any movie where there is mistreatment of an animal or child, or rape. if anyone is being beaten, same thing. it makes me nauseous and extremely uncomfortable.
i had a super freakout moment when we were watching one of the bourne movies in the theater... the one where they are making jason bourne shoot a man at point blank range and giving him no reason other than "because we said so". when i was in high school, a family (one of the boys i was friends with) in our community had their home broken into, and they were all bound and shot. mom & daughter came home from swim practice to find their father and brothers dead. it reminded me too much of that.
