I can't seem to find a movie that matches the same atmosphere that the original TCM delivers. Gives me the creeps, man... And the fact that it looks so freaking realistic... I don't know why, but this movie left a lasting impression on me. Probably because I was expecting something cheesy, while it actually scared me *beep*
Any more movies in the same style? No "The Hills Have Eyes" / newer TCMs, please.
If you want to see a creepy movie I recommend Deathdream directed by Bob Clark. It is not exactly like TCM but it does have a similar haunting quality.

shareI'll give you props for that, that definitely looks TCM-like. But no dialogue? That's kind of disappointing...
shareYou said no Hills Have Eyes but incidentally I wrote Bob Burns a fan letter years ago about his work and he actually wrote back and said Hills actually scared him more than Chain Saw did (he worked on both). I wrote him after I saw The Howling and noticed gramma behind the door. He said I had good eyes. That was cool.
Maybe Motel Hell but it is more campy. But the theme is similar. Or check out Slaughterhouse. Great ending.

I did sixty in five minutes once...
It's not really the same, but check out The Hitcher with Rutger Hauer - it has the same atmosphere I think.
shareThe Funhouse - slasher film that is gritty and has some really depressing themes/subtext.
sharecheck out 'Poor Pretty Eddie'
