The most terrifying movie of all time:

[rbnyc]

Just wanted to share another of my dad's creations.

1. The most frightening movie is Atlas Shrugged Part 1

While you watch this production, this thrown-together piece of cheap shit that makes Manos, The Hands of Fate look competently done, one thought runs through your head: there are people who liked this!

2. Very nice! Some artistic talent there for sure. And some scary truths.

BTW my personal "scariest movie of all time" would probably be "Jacob's Ladder." Or else "The Exorcist." Or "The Thing" (Carpenter version). They're all pretty damn frightening.

5. Can you explain Jacob's Ladder to me?

I thought I knew what was going on in that movie until the end. PM me if you don't want to post any spoilers.

6. It's okay, I'll just post a big old SPOILER WARNING...

(I don't know if you ever read that Ambrose Bierce short story, "Occurrence at Owl Creek," but it's the same basic idea, i.e. the main character is dead the whole time and the whole story is his dream/hallucination just before death. So Jacob Singer did die in Vietnam, not surprisingly as we see him grievously wounded from the beginning, and his supposed life years after the war is like some sort of purgatory. If you remember the little speech the Danny Aiello character gives him toward the end, where he says that angels can appear as demons when you aren't ready to "leave" - that's kind of giving the whole movie away, right there. The reason his visions are so terrifying is because they embody his fear of leaving earthly life behind and progressing to the next existence. But in the end he presumably lets go at last, and his deceased son guides him up to "heaven.&quot

There's an alternate ending that's even more confusing, just so you know.

15. Thank you

3. Beach Blanket Bingo Bonanza

It's scary that they made it and I've seen it three times

4. I like the 4D

Tell your dad that four is considered an unlucky number in China and other Asian countries because the Chinese word for four sounds similar to the word for death.

7. this movie scared the shit out of me so bad that I could NOT watch it ... Compliance

When a prank caller convinces a fast food restaurant manager to interrogate an innocent young employee, no-one is left unharmed. Based on true events.

8. I saw that one too. Well-made but creepy as hell.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

9. how did it end? did she get out of that mess?

the fuck!

[nomorenomore08]

10. Well the manager (and maybe her fiancee too, I forget) ends up facing criminal charges

for her role in things. They show her giving an interview to some TV news program, more or less proclaiming her innocence. And then the movie ends with a message saying that both the employee and the manager, in real life, won substantial settlements from the company for emotional distress etc.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

11. alls well that ends well, I guess. I just could not watch the process. was this a prank started by

her fiancee that just snowballed ...

[nomorenomore08]

12. Not by her fiancee, but by the other guy who was on the phone posing as a cop.

And everybody else followed his instructions, without any proof of who he was, because of their natural inclination to defer to authority. Although the fiancee seems to have been an almost eager participant in sexually humiliating the young girl, as he says afterwards to someone over the phone, "I did a bad thing."

Overall, good psychological-thriller type film. Well-done enough to be believable.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. of course it was beleivable. it happened. what I don't understand is Why the Other Guy

wanted to pull a prank on this girl. What was she to him that he wanted to humiliate her to such a degree?

[nomorenomore08]

14. Apparently the same guy, in real life, did this quite a few times.

Why, I really couldn't say. I guess he's just a sadist/sociopath who gets off on fucking with people.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

16. holy fuck me running. and he is still walking around a free man?

Now That Is Scary

[nomorenomore08]

17. I read up on the case when I watched the movie, a few months ago.

Apparently he was never convicted because they couldn't pin anything on him. I don't know how that's possible but yes, he is presumably a free man to this day.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. what a fucking creep and the fiancee is a loser, too. sheesh.

[nomorenomore08]

20. To me, the best kind of horror is the kind that simply shows human beings as they are.

Not that "Compliance" is a horror film per se, but I also recently saw "Monster" with Charlize Theron (great movie BTW) and that's a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Nothing is scarier than realism.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. saw that one when it came out. that one I could actually watch.

go figure.

19. Seriously ???????

Nosferatu and the remake was very good too .
