OOh I love a good gory/scary film. I watched the Japanese version of the ring on my own after dp had gone to bed, thought I had turned off both the Tv and the dvd player. As I walked out of the room the Tv came on by itself with just static (I obviously hadn't turned the Tv off properly). I almost shit myself and screamed lol dp wasn't amused at 2am, although he does still laugh at me.
Apparently when I was about 8 I saw a nightmare on elm street at a neighbours house and had nightmares for ages, and wouldn't get in the bath??? I remember it being really scary, but watched it lately and it was a bit shit.
I thought the descent was great, really scary, also the one about the werewolves in the highlands.
Halloween gave me proper nightmares, especially the bit where he just walks slowly across the street.
The more gory ones tend to be jumpy rather than disturbing, although I did like Hostel, saw Saw at the cinema, and I did enjoy it aprt from the overacting at the end which spoiled it a bit (haven't seen the sequels).
My sister went to see Wolf Creek at the cinema and had to leave, but I was a bit meh about it, although it was a good film.
I tend to find more of the odd films really disturbing, like someone said Blue Velvet, and a japanese/chinese?? one about women eating foetuses for eternal youth ick.
I loved poltergeist when I was young, although IT and the shining were a bit of a let down after reading the books. I saw a few hammer horrors that gave mo nightmares as a kid. And also read a book (amytiville horror? or something like that) where bees went after a priest lol, that was a scary book.
Sorry for the mammothness.
