It was remade in the US as "The Vasnishing" - but skip the American version. The original is a brilliantly haunting meditation on loss, obsession and death. Just thinking about the ending makes me squirm in my seat.

Zero 11-26-2006 05:14 PM

well- i still go with the list of most influential horror films in a book called Projected Fears:
Dracula (1931), The Thing (1951), Psycho (1960), Night of the Living Dead (1968), The Exorcist (1973), Texas Chainsaw (1974), Halloween (1978), Silence of the Lambs (1991), Scream (1996), and The Sixth Sense (1999).

I stand by these as the films that most dramatically changed the nature of horror films!

Spooky Papa 11-27-2006 09:22 AM

A top ten is far too difficult a list to compile (for me), whether it is simply favourites or ground breaking moments in horror cinema. I offer you ten films that scared the living shit out of me the time I first saw them...leaving an impressionable mind scarred for life.

1. Psycho
2. Night of the Living Dead
3. Jaws
4. The Changeling
5. The Exorcist
6. The Omen
7. Alien
8. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
9. Halloween
10. The Evil Dead

I want it understood that I am speaking of the original films and not any sequels or remakes. By the way, being recently subjected to The Notebook by my wife almost rivals these childhood frights.

I did not join this forum to argue the merits of 'The Notebook', nor did I join to have the security in my manhood questioned by a complete stranger. It was a joke...a little levity and was not meant to be taken so seriously. Truth is, as tear jerkers go...I'm more of a 'Terms of Endearment' fan.

sorry if my comment hit you the wrong way, I wasn't questioning your manhood, I was merely saying that I actually liked that movie. The comment towards manhood was more directed by the fact that some people would call me gay for likeing a chick flick

considering all the other steaming piles of crap called horror movies that came out in that year, its not all that bad.

tcardenas 12-02-2006 06:35 AM

yeah. when i first saw it, i wasnt sure what i was going to get, but compared to a lot of other movies, it wasnt that bad. it was actually good.

"actually good"??? TAKE IT Easy...breath in...out...in..out...there....:)

alkytrio666 12-02-2006 08:00 AM

Freddy Vs. Jason was a really fun movie. They did a good job of mixing the culture of the Friday the 13th movies with that of the Nightmare on Elm Street flicks, and the result was a really enjoyable horror movie. No more, no less.

And we haven't (with the exception of The Descent) been given those very much as of late.

No problem and I'm sorry for reading too much into your comment...my bad. I'm a bit of an ignoramus sometimes, but I assure you...I'm not the type to attack someone's sexuality over a movie (or anything else).
