Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, here it is! This is where you can talk about movies or shows that you think your fellow survival horror enthusiasts would enjoy.

Good eye, man. eek

Point Pleasant is teh LAME. OMG . . . WAH! How did I never notice her in the nurses outfit for that reason?! I just thought she was trying to be craaazy . . . good eye!

I honestly think that the original Blair Witch was uber-spooky. I did NOT want to go camping after that XD

Ringu, for me because of its very SH aspects PWND Ring. Plus, I saw it first, and I fell asleep during the Ring sweatdrop

I thought that The Village was really SH-ish. The story was TRULY unique! And I screamed a few times!

I don't find most "scary" movies to be scary at all, but these are the ones that got to me.

I know this has nothing to do with SH or any other survival horror game, but Arachnaphobia was a creepy movie. I don't like spiders, then again I don't like anything that crunches when you step on it...or anything gooey or slimey.

Do tell us more.

Ringu is most definately creepy. Sadako>Samara eek

I heard that "The Grudge" was really lame, but I love the Japanese version "Ju On".

"Dark Water" is a good Japanese horror film too, directed by the same guy who did Ringu, and written by the same author (Koji Suzuki). You will want to put in a water filter after you see it, I swear!

A very creepy movie you might want to try out is Session 9.

The movie centers on a group of hazardous material cleaners whose job it is to go into old buildings and rip out all the insulation and asbestos so that renovation can begin. This small hazmat crew gets a job to clean out this old asylum out on the outskirts of town. They have 2 weeks if I remember correctly.

The place they shot the movie in was a real mental hospital. There was this big moviement in the 1830's and 40's to build asylums out in very scenic locations and to make the surronding landscape to be as beautiful and serene as possible...because at the time there was little hope that anyone admitted to this hospitals would ever get better.

Its a massive facility. Everything there is self contained. They have their own nursing centers, food court, school, and cemetary. People lived out their entire lives in these places.

The cemetary not too far away from hospital grounds is truely a thing to behold. Rows and Rows and small tombstones. No names. Just numbers.

This movie isnt one that relies on things jumping out on you on screen. It's a slow dread that creeps over you and builds and builds. The very atmosphere of the place is overwhelmingly scary.

Maybe Im hyping it up just a tad bit, but I really do think its a good movie that deserves a rental on a gloomy night with a tub of popcorn and darkened room with all other distractions done away with. Take warning though, the ending is a very ugly one.

I thought it might be worth a good rent. 3nodding Yeah, they mention in the movie that the hospital they are working in is where the frontal lobotomy was perfected, although I don't know to what extent. At the time, the procedure was sometimes called a 'Pick Lobotomy' in which they insert the shaft through the patients tearduct and blindly scrape away. gonk Look up Walter Freeman when you get a chance.

Pseudokai mentioned Jacobs Ladder earlier which is another one of my favorite movies. I think it has some serious Silent Hill elements in it. Very disturbing and warped imagery in this one. Demons of the mind? Anyway, watch it when you can. The ending will blow you away.

Anyone seen The Devil's Backbone? Great spanish horror movie with some very talented actors. A wonderful immersive ghost story set in old mexico. By the same director of Kronos, Mimic, and Hellboy!

Oh, and watched Boogeyman this weekend. I guess it was an alright film, although many people (myself included) felt that the ending seriously lacked. Also, the movie relies heavily on things jumping out at you on screen in order to get it's scares. Maybe a movie to rent, but not watch on the bigscreen. Im interested in seeing more from Ghost house Productions though. You Sam Raimi fans will be happy to know that some of those bizarre camera angles and zoom-ins from the Evil Dead series are in this movie. Wish they had cramed in more. I just love those weird and absurd shots.
