heck yea, The Thing! long long time horror fan... i like a lot of the Stephen King adaptations including Maximum Overdrive (!), Needful Things, Cat's Eye, Night Flyer, The Stand etc.. probably not a widely shared opinion and a lot of other (non SK) movies mentioned here--the original TCM for instance some newer ones: What We Do In The Shadows (i haven't seen the show), Bone Tomahawk and i enjoyed this a lot:
i like them all.. maybe kinda in the order they were released... including the prequels i also like the Alien/Predator films and of course the predator franchise too!
I've never seen the original Fly, but the 1986 is very good body horror, still freaks me out.. Sinister (2012) very creepy movie Paranormal Activity (2007) Alien (1979) The Thing (1982) The Shining (1980) Halloween (1978) Annabelle (2014) The Ring (2002) Drag me to hell ( 2009) not because scary, but because very fun
it freaked my wife and myself OUT! just brutal and grotesque...Jeff was great in the part...even the Fly resembled him! : )what a job!
IIRC we first saw the remake of the Fly on HBO! then bought the VHS, DVD and the Blu-ray as they were released through the years...
Two relatively recent and very British films. Both have moments of hysterical humour which somehow makes the horror all the more effective: Severance Final Prayer
I'm surprised nobody yet mentioned these, imho all 3 are great clever flicks and released around the same time The Sixth Sense (1999) The Others (2001) The Skeleton Key (2005)
I was thinking about that one recently and thinking I should watch it again soon. Thanks for the reminder. (Wow. It's been 20 years.)
This is funny. Thanks to all for their suggestions on this thread. I've had fun looking up the "hidden gems" on YouTube.
