"The Witches" was a brilliant silent film!
I also must admit, the older ones are the better ones...no blood or gore, just lots of atmosphere and some genuine creepy moments.
Even the older "talkies" are the best...
* The Lodger - b/w film about a boarding house that might just be housing Jack the Ripper.
* The Spiral Staircase - still has one of the creepiest "eye peeking out from behind the door" scenes to date.
* Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde - the one with Spencer Tracey (he's brilliant in Captain's Courageous if anyone here has seen that!)
* The Old Dark House - borderline between silent and talking era, great early haunted house flick
* The Haunting - just a well done film, twice as creepy as the remake due to the fact that you're forced to use your imagination...something sadly lacking today.
And there's so many more...nice to see that some folks still like things the old fashioned way. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with a little senseless blood and violence now and then, but I figure we were blessed with imaginations for a reason, and a lot of filmmakers today seem to forget that.
Have you ever felt like you wanted to go home, then realized that you WERE home? :oogle:

Nosferatu, it'd been a while since I watched this last.

Death Note - I kinda liked it, it was good seeing the characters come to life 7/10.
Death Note: The Last Name, I loved this one though they changed the ending so much 8.5/10.
The anime is a billion times better, Light & L are much more interesting.

i just watched "monkey shines" which was pleasantly good. it's on comcasts fear.net. i believe the highlight, for me, was the quadrapolegic sex swing, complete with cripple swing face sitting!

The Host - Seeing this after Cloverfield made it enjoyable with its humorous elements and equally compelling characters. The smooth camera work and not as much mystery around the monster helped (not that Cloverfield's camera work made it bad).
Sunshine - Don't really know if this would fall solely under horror (Sci-Fi Horror ?) But I Liked it. It is clear where it draws inspiration from but still has elements of its own. I liked a fresher end of the world story that dealt more with science over action. Really well built story. Only thing I can say I didn't like was the supernatural element with the antagonist in the end. Did love how he was a religious fanatic though.
