Which Movie(s) Freaked You Out?

Post Reply New Topic

“Vanilla Sky” is the movie that freaked me out. The movie made me realize that if the technology to suspend a person in a dream were actually available, I would use it. After the movie, I was picking out an exact moment in my life where I would like to return to. Watching “Vanilla Sky” made me realize how mired in the past I am and that I would actually sacrifice my future to avoid a painful event from my past.

I’ll never watch that movie again, as it was too disturbing. For the same reason, I will not watch “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” From what I understand, there is a similar theme of erasing painful experiences.

I read that Robin Williams partially used Aspergers as a model for his character in "One Hour Photo."

Factory farming any living thing bar vegetation is wrong on so many levels, but that's another topic...

David Lynch was mentioned before. Lost Highway - now that's a movie I would not like to show my kids.

And who could forget the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That takes a lot of guts to watch from start to finish.

Copycat is quite creepy. I love The Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal Lecter gives me goosebumps...'I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.' Just thought of another one. Anyone else here like the movie Se7en? The end of that movie ticks me off so much. It's fabulous.

I like The Ring - yeah its a bit hackneyed in places, but very effective. Not a lot creeps me out, but for sheer weirdness, I think Being John Malkovich scores high marks.

The red dragon. -

I can't remember anything about the movie. I saw it a few months ago, and all I remember is I had to put my head between my knees to stop myself fainting.

There was a CSI ep about men having sex changes in a dirty operating room and dying and all this horrible stuff, it had the same effect as stated above.

oh yeah. When I was five, little shop of horrors was on TV. The dude squeezed a drop of blood out of his finger into the plant, and bang, i'd fainted.

That was just nuts.. The writers must have been on some kind of drug.. i'm sure.

Actually, snuff movies and scary stuff really do not freak me out. I watched The Passion of the Christ when if came out and I could see that my brothers were freaked out but I was not.

A recent one that does freak me out a little is Napolean Dynamite but I think that is because I see alot of myself in Napolean.

All three Hannibal movies are among my favorite movies. Silence of the Lambs is probably the best of the three, if only just for Hannibal's escape scene .


I can truthfully say that nothing in any movie has ever bothered me except the man in the room with the air fresheners in Se7en. I nearly had to change my pants after that. Ugh.

Spaceballs. there, that should say it all

just two point out Ghostix, there are now 4 Hannibal movies, since Manhunter was remade as Red Dragon.

What disturbed me the most about that movie was that Spielberg censored out one of the most important pieces of information in the real story:

Oskar Schindler smuggled rifles into his factory so that if the Nazis decided to kill the Jews anyway, they would at least have a chance to fight back. And when he abandoned the factory late in the war, he made sure the employees knew where the rifles and ammunition were so they could use them when they needed them.

I've never been seriously creeped by any movie, although Equilibrium came the closest.

The very idea of an entire society built around chemically suppressing all emotion is just way too creepy for words.

Scariest film I ever saw was the original B & W version of The Haunting.

I remember being a little kid left on my own on New Year's eve and watching the film with the light's out!

I guess Alien disturbed me too. Kept having dreams of people running around with aliens hanging out of their chests!

Unfortunately, the Alien sequels did much to destroy the mystique of the original Alien creature. I mean, the original life cycle of the Alien was WIERD! Victims were slowly transformed into eggs. James Cameron destroyed that mystique by giving the alien an insect-like lifestyle, complete with hive, queen, drones, etc-thus reducing the creature to something we are familiar with-in effect, turning the alien into something like and ant!

Brazil and Donnie Darko were both films that creeped me out, as did some parts of David Lynch's adaptation of Dune.
Also, when I was about nine or ten, I found the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey rather disturbing.

I still find creepy but AWESOME the ending of the movie, Sleepaway Camp. Has anyone ever seen that? One of the most surprise endings you'll ever see. I live for the end of that movie when I watch it.

Also, in Friday the 13th when Jason comes out of the water and grabs that girl, THAT still makes me jump every single time.

But for the most part, no movie has ever even come close to how badly The Ring terrorized me. I was so bad my mother was actually getting worried. I've never had a movie do that to me. Never.

One that freaked me out, but in a slightly different way, is "Happiness". Such an innocent title........ *shudder*

Halloween movies freaked me out.
