Like the thread says BEST and scariest horror movies. I agree with u, it's not a really scary movie but it is still a horror movie.
The Exorcist usually makes #1, but I don't find it very scary (or entertaining). I find it somewhat of a relic, and suspect that most people who put it on lists of scariest movies haven't watched a decent horror film in decades. I think Rosemary's Baby, Carrie and Halloween are much better films, and don't suffer from age nearly as much. But then again, I'm not religious, don't believe in the devil, and frankly find the idea of a Catholic exorcism somewhere between comical and offensive - especially since it often involves deluded priests holding down and yelling at a mentally ill or epileptic person. That seems much more horrific to me than any demon. Also - are you sure about the "more on record" claim? How do you even measure this?
yea, surround sound, HD, late at night ..you know the right atmosphere. That movie has so many jumpy scenes its ridiculous. The 2nd time I didn't think it was scary, but the whole plot is just one of those really grim storylines and the ending sums up everything full circle.
not really scary at all but you get to see some nips so that's cool Someone give me a list of japanese horror movies that are classics for i could study them..
I watched both Amityville Horror and Exorcist when I was way too young (around 7-8) so they were really scary to me. Especially since my psycho dad got mad at me for screaming so much during Exorcist he stopped the movie and put me in a dark room as punishment.

I can't testify to the best horror film but I can to the worst... dark harvest 2 the maize <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lDhv2ANEMbM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></became> my friend loves terrible movies and I can assure you... Its worse than the trailer... look up the IMDb.
So you walked in with a preconceived notion and an seemingly unwillingness to suspend belief in this instance rather than the others i.e. I am open to telekentic girl but devils is just comical you not liking it is now completely understandable. Generally speaking THE BEST etc is built on timing/moments I was very young . . .and the Exorcist scare the isht out of me the memory never fades Also I think a lot of people get caught up in the Special Effects Cutting edge scare special effects of 1979 can be done with a packet from walgreens now So younger people may like the more modern effects and the effectiveness of the older effects maybe wasted on them Ammitiville Horror killed me Portergiest killed me I remember a Made for TV movie call DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW that made me sleep a little less [Children of the Corn tooo] Rocket River
Spoorloos [The Vanishing] (1988) - More of a thriller really... but that ending was one of the darkest and most haunting I'd seen. Don't watch the 1993 remake. It has a slow pace, but you'll like it. The Devil's Backbone (2001) Don't Look Now (1973) The Woman In Black (1989) - remake was terrible. Ju-On (2002) - this is the original Japanese version of the "Grudge" [REC] (2007) Alien (1979) - space horror masterpiece. The Descent (2005) The Tunnel (2011) - has elements of Descent, Blair Witch, and REC The horror genre is the weakest in terms of a limited number of high quality movies. Once you've seen the top 10 or 15, it's a steep drop after that. You really need to adjust your expectations.
I remember watching that at a friends house with his dad and he was like, "look at this part, he starts sucking all up on her finger *sucks finger*" That part creaped me out as a kid
David Cronenberg's early sci-fi/horror movies are quite freaky. It's probably dated now but The Brood had some disturbing scenes. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SNjNSChTorU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Another beautifully grotesque rather than scary is Possesion. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/xxVdtYAs8-w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Best: 1. Psycho 2. The Exorcist 3. Jaws 4. Silence of the Lambs 5. The Shining Scariest: 1. The Exorcist 2. The Hills Have Eyes 3. The Thing 4. The Omen 5. Carrie I would add to this: Most Disturbing: Eraserhead
