Ju-on: The Grudge.

Yep, the Japanese version is the only version worth seeing

Another film that hasn't been mentioned that might be worth a look is:

Is that the one under some old Eastern Bloc church?

No, it's about pot-holing A group of female [standard, not buxom] cave-explorers get trapped and start being stalked by predators that live in the dark way underground. Bloody good it is too!

C4EVA - I wouldn't say 'scary' is the right word to describe Irreversible, but it is a fantastically shocking film.

I can imagine that it's pretty damn terrifying if your a female that travels alone a lot! But yeah for a bloke it's more shocking and disturbing than scary.

It's similar, forgotten the name of that film though.

Indeed. No film has affected me the way that Irreversible did. It really is a hammer-blow to the senses. I saw it once only and it shot up into my top five films... but I'd find it difficult to sit through again.

Haute Tension

 

[C4EVA]

Have you seen 'Man Bites Dog (1992)' ?
I have heard that it's even worse
I've got it but have not built up the courage yet to watch it
Funny Games is another extremely disturbing film which can really mess with your head!!

 

[Lysander]

Have you seen 'Man Bites Dog (1992)' ?

I haven't but it was on general release here so it can't be that bad [mmm so was Irreversible, come to think of it]. I just thought Man Bites Dog was a gangster bloodfest.

Funny Games is getting remade in - guess where - the USA

 

[Master_X]

The Decent. watched this is the cinema and it was quite scary, best to watch it in the dark with sound up!!!!

Not quite, but a good film though, although not scary at all.

I found borat harder to watch than that , everyones different i guess. I seem to have misplaced my irreversible dvd but im not complaining, i never was a very big fan of abstract films but there are exceptions to that rule. I just figured i would buy it to see what all the fuss was about

 

[Surfer]

i find gory horror not very scary just yuuky. The grudge scared the crapola outta me though. Didnt really want to go to sleep after it

The descent i didnt find that scary unfortunately. Might give Shutter and lls a look up.

I think its The Cave.

Freaks ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022913/ ) is another creepy one.

 

[Johnnytoxic]

The Hills Have Eyes 1, new version.

Freaked me out.

 

[Nitefly]

Full on blood and guts in todays age simply isn't scary. The Ring and The Grudge I find pretty horendous, due to the tension, uncertainty and sinister plot. You get a real sense of dread and evil with those films.

I have only watched the hollywood remakes. I hear the original versions are also good.

Indeed, blood and guts aren't scary. Subtlety, uncertainty and suggestion are.
