Re: The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread
Blair Witch got me but not until about 30 minutes after the movie ended and my friends and I discussed it in the car. During the movie I wasn't scared at all. I liked it, but I wasn't scared.tragabigzanda wrote:Only movie ever? Man, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre scared the daylights out of me.Rangi Guy wrote:Blair Witch 1 is the only movie to give me the genuine scaresBurtReynolds wrote:Blair Witch 2 wasn't bad. Blair Witch 1 was bad.
Beyond that...
original Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Shining
The Omen (original)
The Exorcist
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
The Day of the Locust
Those fucking GOT me. And I was at least 15 by the time I saw each of those. The original Nightmare on Elm Street scared the shit out of me too, but I was 6 when I watched that.

I love Michael Shannon but he's been in some bad movies lately. 99 Houses wasn't very good, but he was great.
