Who makes the best horror?

[MarsDustDoug]

Dance Of The Dead, Hatchet, The Tripper, Feast, Otis, Unearthed, Pathology, Amusement, Anamorph, 30 Days of Night, Midnight Meat Train... All American and all pretty awesome flicks! So as of right now I believe American is my fav.

French get a huge thumbs up as of late and the Aussies are doing some fun things too. The Uk has ownership to a fav of the new school The Descent

Canadians... they are absolutely hit or miss. Ex: Jack Brooks Monster Slayer... AWESOME. My Bloody Valentine.... Worthless. Original Black Christmas... one of my all time favs! the Chair... Pretty good!

everyone is quick to dog American horror for some reason... Yes Italian out did it for a good while but remember we owned the golden era, a large part of the silver, and the 80's pretty much. Besides... Most who pile on the Italian horror band wagon cant name anyone besides Fulci.

J-Horror/K-Horror.... all of it I cant take... I dont get it in the sense that it isnt good to me. I can only take so many soaking wet darkened eye kids. yes yes I know... they arent all like that.

I will agree on Guillermo del Toro as well. Devils Backbone was great. Another great Mexican horror is Boarderlands.

Midnight Meat Train was awesome.... although it was a British Writer (Clive Barker) and Japanease director (Ryûhei Kitamura)... as well as one of the main characters being from the UK... so I am not sure if I would call this totally.... American.....

30 Days of night was decent... made in America... but the director was British as well....

I guess it depends on what you consider American.... where it was made, or who made it....

They were all made in the US hehe! though I must admit meat train had one confused ending... I mean honestly that was such a let down

Dance Of The Dead... Its on Ghost House, so I wont see it.

Hatchet...didnt like it

The Tripper N/S

Feast...LoL good movie

Otis...Thought it was pretty stupid.

Unearthed... Its on After Dark Horror Fest so I wont see it, I didnt even like Frontiers as much as I had hoped.

Pathology.. I atually have heard good things about this one.

Amusement...Ive heard mixed Feelings but N/S

Anamorph... Never even heard of it...

30 Days of Night...Very good, we needed a real vampire movie and this delivered

Midnight Meat Train...I thought it was a disappointment.

So yea most of the movies you listed I cant honestly judge, but I have a feeling I will know what I would think of a few of them. I do want to see Pathology, i heard from a friend that I would like it. I wish I could say I enjoy American horror, because I used to, but lately its been letting me down.

im gonna go against my typical nature and completely call you out on judging flicks on the fact they are after dark or ghost house.

Boarderland was GREAT! Unearthed was a great monster flick! Tooth and Nail wasnt bad! Dying Breed was awesome! Perkins' 14 was good! all of those are After Dark and you wont even give them a chance because pieces like Nightmare Man and The Broken were also under that name... that doesnt make much sense. Ghost House has Brotherhood of Blood and Dance Of the Dead that are worth it. Dark Floors only if you are a Lordi fan.

I dont like 16Volt and they are/were on metropolis records, does that make every band on Metropolis suck? Hell no! Xymox is on there, Angelspit is on there, Sister Machine Gun was on there...

sorry if that was out of line but if you are a horror fan then you gotta wade through the muck to get the gems. I have seen and own many bad flicks, but i still have em and ill watch em again!

[Girl with Tail 29]

I am absolutely loving this discussion by the way.

Also, if any of you have Comcast, I suggest FearNet on OnDemand. Hilarious horror movies... I saw Dance of the Dead as well as The Decent on there.

Alot of really bad movies are on there too just for kicks.

Indeed.... good stuff on there....

[BillyDeath]

I dig the Hannibal movies.

[BillyDeath]

For me it's all about slicing and dicing; blood and guts, or else it's considered Sci-FI, which ain't bad.

Ever see the movie "Funny Games"?

Meh to each there own, all of the ghost house/after dark/ Masters of horror that I have seen have not been worth my time.

[phee]

I liked Cigarrette burns one of the two Masters of Horror Carpenter did... the other one with Ron Pearlman was just kind of silly...

I did like the ones Argento did though

[MarsDustDoug]

5 Girls? with Ron Pearlman? I dug the idea... was just poorly executed to me hehe

[Saint Germain]

Ever see the movie "Funny Games"?

Do you mean "Funny Games" from 1997 or "Funny Games U.S." from 2007?

[phee]

Both

(same director on each)

I think the Henry Waxman healthcare bill, contains more horror then any movie ever made.

I know how you feel.

After seeing the environmental devastation detailed in An Inconvenient Truth, I felt that it met the billing of the "Scariest Movie You'll Ever See"

because it foretells hell on earth for our grandchildren.
