Seems we both have great taste in movies
Martyrs is not only a great horror movie, it is a great movie altogether. As you said the cinematography, script, acting everything in this movie is so close to perfection. A classic in my opinion. It's also one of the few movies I find hard to watch, it's just so intense. It had me thinking about it for days when I first saw it.
Hellraiser is a horror classic which holds up surprisingly well even after all these years.

Jacob's Ladder...its creepy as hell and it influenced the Silent Hill series, my favorite horror videogame.:bigsmile:

Jacob's ladder is a great movie. Silent hill is my favorite horror game as well. Did you hear that there are rumors that they are going to remake Jacob's ladder? Is 'Jacob's Ladder' Being Remade Or Am I Hallucinationing? -

I grew up on horror movies and consider myself a horror movie savant a.k.a. snob.
1. Phantasm
2. The Exorcist
3. The Skeptic
4. The Descent
5. The Blair Witch Project
I love the Phantasm movies, especially the second one. The exorcist is an all-time classic which still manages to scare the living bejesus out of me. The skeptic I think was OK. The Descent is up there with Hellraiser and Martyrs for me. The Blair witch project just bored me and gave me headaches.
These are my five favs:
1 Hellraiser
2 Martyrs
3 The thing
4 Re-animator
5 Original Day of the dead
I to consider myself to be somewhat of a horror movie aficionado. Do you have any obscure movies to recommend?

I don't know why I like scaring myself. Like one time, I watched a Japanese horror movie alone in my room with the lights out, the windows and door shut... I made it really dark inside. So I was sitting on my bed while looking at the PC when suddenly the scene went to a lady ghost appearing from under the bed and I screamed and freaked out like crazy. LOL

Well, it's not really considered a horror movie but it's in the Psycho spectrum, have you ever seen Peeping Tom? It actually came out before Psycho, and it's even darker, more emotionally complex.
Btw, Hellraiser was a good movie, but the sequels stunk. Still, the first, with all those scenes with an icky Frank, are classic - ha ha.

Ha ha, right on! :thumbup:
You know, it's actually a good movie. I mean it's not The Exorcist or The Blair Witch, but the camp is funny and smartly done. If I were rich, I'd buy every prop from that film. Including the ice cream truck, lol.

Icky Frank is a classic ans is his creepy "come to daddy" line. The sequels were more or less Shiite, but after watching them again I kind of liked the second and the fifth one (although the fifth one is more of a stand-alone movie than a real sequel).
I liked the first two Psycho movies (not the remake, the original Hitchcock one). I have vague memories of watching Peeping Tom when I was a kid. Maybe I'll check that one out again.
Killer Clowns from outer space I find to be one of those guilty pleasure movies in the it's so bad its good category.
Have you seen Midnight meat train? I thought that one was both creepy and darkly funny, plus it has Vinnie Jones as a hammer wielding maniac. It's part of Clive Barker's Book of blood series which also contains the Hellraiser story.
