i kinda go out of my way to avoid them. i do enjoy an occasional thriller / whatever with scary moments. in general my experiences with horror have been lackluster.

I'm still waiting to see a worthwhile horror that I actually enjoy. Not holding breath really..

Guybrush

I'm guessing you've seen some classics like The Shining and perhaps some of the more splattery ones like Evil Dead or Texas Chainsaw Massacre .. And I'm guessing you didn't like them.

If you like more intelligent films with good characters and a gripping plot, something which is sometimes hard to find in horror, consider checking out The Changeling from 1980.

I've written about it many times but never actually found anyone on mb who've seen it besides myself. It's a pity because it's brilliant!

^ 10 really fun horror movies from the last 10 years you might wanna look out for if you haven't seen any already. If you haven't, some of them might change your mind, some not.

And...

Rosemary's Baby - 4
Carrie - 1

Never did enjoy Carrie so much. It was ok I guess, just didn't leave as much of an impression as Rosemary's Baby did.

Guybrush

This one was rather brilliant I thought Perhaps not a true classic of the genre because it's basically old tricks done once again, but it was done so well that I found it highly enjoyable. The funny bits were funny and the spooky bits were quite spooky I thought.

I also liked the little references and bits of comedy which made the film so very Raimi-ish. Like the evil squeaky napkin!

It was definitely among my favourites of last year (a year which, as it turned out, was actually quite a good year for cinema). It's no classic as you say, and nothing all that clever or anything, but a great watch all the same, nicely lightened up by Raimi's touch here and there. I loved the ending too.

Unknown Soldier

Two great films but gotta go with Carrie here.

Rosemary`s Baby 4
Carrie 3

I agree 100% with all your choices except that one... I think that one is a very niche audience type of horror movie. I mean people get grossed out by the Saw series, but if that saw that... I dunno, I don't think it would go over so well.

A different kind of fun in the horror sense then Not one for the squeamish, I can agree with that. Had to mention one of the recent French gore flicks though, as they're definitely worth seeing. It was between Martyrs, Inside and Frontiers for the mention there.

And, since I haven't seen Inception, I'm not gonna bother with this round.
