I love horror movies!! Poltergeist is my favorite horror movie. Don't know how many times I've seen that movie. Just saw it last night. The rest, Poltergeist 2, Sixth Sense, The Omen (older version), and The Others. There are more but that's my 5.

The visual effects makes Suspiria not the soundtrack. The song you posted isn't bad but I'm talking about all the screeches and other sound effects that were used throughout the film they were like nails on a chalk board.

I'm dead ass serious.

bob.

being a pretty big fan of Suspiria i would say it's a combination of both visuals and the amazing soundtrack

i remember when you first watched it dj .....i remember your post about how horrible you thought it was and that you watched it because of mine and Jackhammers constant praise for it

and personally every point you make is correct....it really is for the most part a dreadful film....horrible and quite stupid plot and story, god awful acting mixed with an atrocious over dub

i would say that at least 90% of the people i've shown it to would agree with you 100%

i don't think Suspira is one of those "you get it or you don't"....i just think that when you first view it it either creates an amazing mood or it doesn't

either way there is no denying that it is a very unique film

Is Insidious 2 out?

What the fucfk!

My list is essentially Bulldog's if he removes the 's' at the end of his second choice.

Dyngus

1973 The Killing Kind
Dir. by Curtis Harrington, good if you don’t mind lower quality. Explores relationship between a woman and her troubled son.

1977 Martin
One of George Romero’s lesser known films, a psychological spin on the vampire subgenre. Has black/white segments interspersed, otherwise in color. Small cast, slasher elements.

1983 Angst
An Austrian film dir. by Gerald Kargl and based on the Kniesek triple slaying, though this is far from a bio-pic. There are some long monologues, the rest of the film is covered by a mostly silent dread. A lot of close-up shots that may feel uncomfortable at times.

1996 Scream
If you like horror you’ve probably seen this.

2009 The Loved Ones
Australian flick dir. by Sean Byrne. Teenage girl wants the perfect prom. Zombie elements. The soundtrack is all over the place, seemingly placed to match the different characters.

SGR

My list has changed a bit since I started this thread. Now....now, it would probably be, off the top of my head:

1. Eraserhead
2. The Shining
3. Halloween
4. The Exorcist
5. Cannibal Holocaust
