It was ok until the silly face with the boiled egg eyes popped up at the end Grin

shouldnthavesaid · 25/03/2014 10:56

Well, La Cabina's pleasant isn't it! There's a film I won't be watching alone (have just skimmed through it)

SapphireMoon · 25/03/2014 11:00

That film gave me nightmares!
Would have been 30 years ago watching tv while everyone else in bed..
Not watched it again yet...

pianodoodle · 25/03/2014 11:00

Am I the only person who can't help but think that if you suspected somebody was in your flat you would go and check all of the rooms thoroughly rather than stick a bit of tape on the light switch?

I wouldn't do either of those things. I'd be go straight out the front door in my pyjamas. Then I'd torch the house just to be sure Grin

laregina · 25/03/2014 11:09

Ha ha piano yes you're right, but if the lead woman in a horror film did all the things you were supposed to it would all be a bit uneventfulGrin - ie - ooh, I think I heard/saw somebody in the garden - I will lock all the doors and windows, close the curtains and call the police. Ooh hang on - end of film!

pianodoodle · 25/03/2014 11:13

Hee hee yes a lot of films would be pretty pointless if people were sensible!

The Hitcher - "can I have a lift?"

"Not bloody likely"

Brilliant film...first saw La Cabina 20-odd years ago and loved it. I suspect it's been responsible for MANY propped-open phone box doors over the years....

Impatientismymiddlename · 25/03/2014 11:20

No, if she had been sensible the film might have been better. She could have tried to exit in her pyjamas and been prevented from doing so by the not very scary looking man thing who could have then terrorised her, rather than just quivering under the duvet with a bit of sticky tape on the light switch.
I'm obviously thinking too much about this....Grin

ICanSeeTheSun · 25/03/2014 11:21

Will to watch la cabina

Worryingwombat · 25/03/2014 11:24

It made me jump but I think the ending was silly. But horror movies are my favourite anyways!

Worryingwombat · 25/03/2014 11:31

Ohhhh 2sentence story's my new addiction :)

Here are some I have copied

In all of the time that I've lived alone in this house, I swear to God I've closed more doors than I've opened.

I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, "Daddy, check for monsters under my bed." I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, "Daddy, there's somebody on my bed."

There was a picture in my phone of me sleeping. I live alone.

A girl heard her mom yell her name from downstairs, so she got up and started to head down. As she got to the stairs, her mom pulled her into her room and said "I heard that, too."

Can't look at the films as I can't get on youtube at work but I've just looked at your link worldgonecrazy to the 2 sentence horror stories and number 10 is definitely the scariest.

Lovecat · 25/03/2014 11:43

Too wussy to look at the link.

I saw La Cabina as a child (I remember my Dad was a big fan of Eric Sykes 'The Plank' and to begin with he thought it was something comedic like that) and it haunted me for years.

Bloodyholly · 25/03/2014 11:45

The story that always got me (think it was a creepypasta one as well)-

A young girl is playing in her bedroom when she hears her mother call to her from the kitchen, so she runs downstairs to meet her mother.

As she’s running through the hallway, the door to the cupboard under the stairs opens, and a hand reaches out and pulls her in. It’s her mother. She whispers to her child, “Don’t go into the kitchen. I heard it too.”

GimmeDaBoobehz · 25/03/2014 11:47

Can someone describe what happens?

Not clickable for me at the moment.

Gileswithachainsaw · 25/03/2014 11:52

What a load of crap. Not remotely scary

popcornpaws · 25/03/2014 12:00

SHITE!
I love horrors but can't remember the last time i was scared by one, apart from the exorcist but i was around 13 at the time.

Worryingwombat · 25/03/2014 12:01

Gimme if you mean the lights out one it kind of goes like the

Women going to bed
Turns light out in hall sees freaky shadow person
Light on no person
Light off person
Light on no person
Light off person
Light on no person
Light off no person!!! Big jump
Duck tapes light on
Gets in to bed
Creepy noises light goes out in hall
Bedside lamp flickers
Hides under duvet
All calms down
Looks out of duvet
Looks round room
All ok
Looks at bedside light
Freaky demon white eyes smiling turns light off
The end

Ok sound stupid and I have been judged by MN to be a wuss but it freaked me out!!

The written ones don't scare me at all, you can't build up enough tension in 2 sentences.

SarahAndFuck · 25/03/2014 12:07

I saw that the other day.

It's just the right sort of creepy for me at the start. The light on/off bit with the weird shadow that stays still the first couple of times but then is suddenly closer to her and makes her jump. And the way something is making the noise that you know means it's picking off the duct tape from the light switch while she hides.

I really like that sort of build-up, far more than I like the lazy sort of bloodbath horror they do a lot of now, human caterpillar style stuff. I hate that, it's not scary, it's just gross.

But I didn't like the demon at the end. Too cartoonish to be scary. Bit of a let down after the build-up.

Quinteszilla · 25/03/2014 12:09

You need to watch

And if you like zombie movies (this one features nazi german zombies from the war)
