I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video  

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL

Crap, you're right, FKB...I knew I wasn't, but then I couldn't think what else it could be. "Legend" was Roddy McDowell, right?

That's freaky as hell, even if it was spoiled by the trailer.

Yeah, that was a creep-out moment.

When we watched The Others, Pete paused the DVD about 2/3rds of the way through, looked over at me huddled on the couch, hiding behind Clovis, and said "Do you want me to spoil the ending for you? I figured it out, and it might make you less creeped out." Sadly, being spoiled didn't make me less twitchy.

Oh, another truly creepifying moment is the end of The Haunting of Julia with Mia Farrow.

Thrive to spite them

Frank the white fonted pact is what freaked me out.

Also, I wasn't scared by but just reacted very weirdly to was the movie with J Lo and Vince Vaughn (?) she's a psychatrist and he's a law enforcement person and there's a serial killer.

At one point there's this weird light show thing, I remember wanting to crawl out of my seat and into the colors. Very weird.

See, this is what I get for multi-tasking.

I'm trying to think of my favorite horror films. I liked Ravenous, but I don't think it's a horror movie (although it's filed with horror on the shelf).

The Others, The Exorcist, 28 Days Later, Suspiria, The Haunting, The Fog, The Thing, and Gothic are all on the list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cell ?

Oh yeah, The Others. Easily the deep-down scariest movie made in the last 20 years.

For making me jump a mile, I think I'd go with the scene when Jennifer goes for the phone in I Spit on Your Grave.

Aw yeah! I'd forgotten about that. You know I was part of a music discussion group for years called I Spit On Your Groove, right?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh god, I hated The Cell with a blinding passion. Ugh.

Oooh, I just remembered! The last scene in Nomads.

Another great one that just leapt to mind: The Night Of The Hunter.
