Scarier than [REC]?


Just wondering if anyone has seen any movies scarier than REC. I loved this film and thought it was one of the best horror movies I've ever seen, especially one of the scariest. Anyone have any recommendations for other equally terrifying films?

It really depends what you're into, there's so many sub-branches of horror and everyone is creeped out by different things. This movie was a killer flick, but besides making me jump a bunch I can't honestly say I was scared by it, not in that lasting, unsettling way. I loved it, it was great fun to watch but it just didn't scare me all that much. There's a couple examples of movies that did creep me out, The Exorcist 3 is pretty creepy (though the ending bit sucked, totally ruined the creepy factor to me), the Korean movie "A Tale of Two Sisters" can be pretty unsettling at points. The original version of "The Eye" is pretty damn good, as was the movie "The Devil's Backbone". Another really solid one is by Takashi Miike called "Audition", creeped me right the hell out...I tend to be more creeped out by less action-packed horror...that slow, methodical storytelling that just builds and builds and builds until you're at the edge of your seat biting your nails. This one had some great scares, and definitely is one of the best I've seen in terms of "bus" scares (jump out of your seat scares)

Noroi. You can find it on YouTube. It's my all-time favorite film, and also scared me more than anything else.

I actually watched it yesterday. Noroi is seriously creepy ride. Very nice movie.

I saw a french (i think it was) film a few years back at the time i found it quite scary 'Them', was a few years ago so it might not be that scary haha!

I actually found [REC] by The Descent, when people compared it to the Shaky night vision scene

I just finished watching The Tunnel, which is quite similar, I think. Much shorter and less detail, leaving the audience to decide what really just took place. Still, I'd say give it a chance. Another creepy movie I enjoyed that may be similar is Ils aka Them.

This must be your first "horror" film you ever saw. I couldn't bare watching it after 40 mins. It was too "horrifying". What a load of crock. 1/10.

In nearly four years, the only other film that terrified me more was Insidious.

Since Rec, the only other film that terrified me more was Insidious.

Not sure, the original Ring movie (Ringu) was pretty cool but you have to get your head wraped around the story, once it pulls you in, you realy have trouble sleeping at night but REC is more straight to the point horror, it'll scare you no mater what
