What is the scariest movie you have ever seen?

For me, it has to be Ring (Japanese original). Scared the beejezus out of me.

But taking a slightly tangential approach, the film I'd nominate is Conspiracy(The 1942 Nazi conference on the Final Solution). Although not a scary movie as such, I find the simple fact that human beings can sit eating delicate and delicious morsels of food whilst discussing the best way of murdering six million people incredibly frightening.

I watched Conspiracy and it actually turned my stomach - it was all wrong :)

In Space No One Can Here You Scream.

Just watched "Alien" for the first time in a long time. Very scary movie. Lots of suspense, very scary monster. Didn't see the alien very much until near the end. The acting was pretty good and believable.The special effect were great for 1979 (computers were not like we'd expect today otherwise everything was believable.)

For me it has to be The Innocents (1961). The movie did it the good old-fashioned way, first you involved with the location and characters, and then showed you what twisted things could lurk inside of them. To the end it also maintained the ambiguity of the supernatural and the psychological that gave the movie much power...no need here for slimy aliens or little girls with hair over their faces.

Scary in that is was so bad and overrated I agree....:p
 
Re: The Scariest Movie Ever!

Either The Shining or Alien. I've seen a lot of films that have scared me, but those are the two that've stayed with me. I'm not even sure if they have the scariest parts in them or not. I suppose it's just whatever cuts through the haze of time.

Yip, just checked IMDB - that's the one and I agree it was scary!:)
 
Re: The Scariest Movie Ever!

the ring original, really the only film that STILl scares me
and the haunting, original. think that's its title. black and white, really eerie. far better than the catherine zeta jones silly remake that tried to explain why everything was so spooky! why can't a place be hayunted and spooky just because it is! why does it have to be about dead kids or something
 
Re: The Scariest Movie Ever!

yeah iot was. and SO scarey. it shows you that a film can be good with no effects at all, without even colour! i didn't dislike the remake, i just felt they were trying too hard to explain WHY the place was haunted and it made no real sense at all in teh end. and certainly wasn't scarey.
 
Re: The Scariest Movie Ever!

Another movie which scared me was 'White Squall', bizarre I know but there is scene in the film when the captain of the ship's wife is stuck in a air pocket as the boat is sinking but they can't they save her, so the Captain is just watching the boat sink and his wife is looking up at him, anyway, it terrified me because I am scared of water, so that movie really scares me:)
 
Re: The Scariest Movie Ever!

1. The Blair Witch Project (Couldn't sleep that night afterwards)
2. the Omen (I was 12 and anything about the devil scared the pants off me)
3. Salem's Lot (Didn't scare me really, but when the head vampire showed up for the first time I was a pancake on the ceiling.
4. The Ring (US version DVD easter egg bit - if you find it, it'll give you the fright of your life)
5. Dawn of the Dead (1978) - Not exactly scary - just disturbing.
