Horror films are supposed to be real scary. Not to be entertaining popcorn flicks like your typical teen slasher films. Those teen slasher films like “Scream”, “Halloween”, “Friday the 13th”, etc…are not scary at all in my opinion, they are just here for popcorn entertainment, so in reality, I don’t really call those films true horror films.
True horror films that are real scary are films like: “The Omen”, “The Exorcist”, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Amityville Horror”, “Rosemary’s Baby”, “Psycho”, etc. Films that are supposed to scare the shit out of you and not being able to sleep at night after watching the films.
True horror films are starting to make a comeback. With films like “Quarantine” and “The Strangers”, I think those two films are the most creepiest films I’ve seen in many years.
“Quarantine” is a zombie film, yes, but it’s a zombie film that it almost seems real, a film that almost seems like real life. That’s what makes that film so scary. Not only that, I think the ending to that film is the most scariest ever.
I don’t want to spoil the ending but I’ll talk about little bits of it, the leading woman that plays in the movie, finds this room to try to escape the place. It is dark, and the video camera has a night vision light on where they can see in the dark, which makes the screen turns green as a night vision kind of thing.
The woman and camera man are both in the room alone hiding ’cause there’s one zombie walking around trying to find ’em. The woman is trying to cover her mouth so she tries not to scream, so the zombie wouldn’t hear her. There is no music playing in this scene. Just complete silence in that scene as the zombie is walking around trying to hunt them down. Of course, the trailer of the “Quarantine” film kind of gave away the ending, which I hate it when trailers do that, but you get the idea.
“The Strangers”, is another great horror film that I absolutely loved, it stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman. About a young couple staying at a friends cabin for a vacation trip, the guy proposes marriage to his longtime girlfriend, but she says “no” to his marriage proposal, of course he is upset the rest of the night and stays up all night, then he goes out for a drive to spend some time alone by himself. While Liv Tyler’s character is home alone, she is attacked by three people wearing strange masks, and she must escape out of the house alive.
“The Strangers” say it’s based on real events, but I’m not finding anything in google about it. Then in the wikipedia information it says that the story was inspired by the director/writers real life experience of being home alone and being attacked by strange people.
“Quarantine” and “The Strangers” are both really good flicks. I’d suggest you to check those films out.
