Some of my favorite horror movies would be Exorcist, Night Of The Living Dead, Day of the Dead (mostly for the inventive gore factor), The Thing (Carpenter's best), The Shining, Event Horizon (initially, but its effect has worn off with subsequent viewings), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version), Poltergeist, Friday the 13th Part 1 (and only part 1), Alien, Jaws (if that counts), Halloween, and many more I'm sure I've forgotten for now.

I'm also a big fan of the late 70's, early 80's campy horror flicks like Evil Dead 2 and Night of the Creeps, but thats more for nostalgia than any value the movie itself actually held.

you people all went in expecting too much. "oh this is supposed to be a horror! well I'm going to be a tough shit and expect it to be something good"... pfff...
I knew this movie was going to suck after the first 10 minutes and reading the DVD box.... knowing, so full well that it was going to suck, and that it DID SUCK SO FUCKING BAD for the first half of the movie (in fact, I never really felt connected to the movie), is what made the quick jump from "campy pseudo horror" to "fuck you up visuals" so damn effective.
imho, of course.
I laughed through the whole thing, because it sucked so bad.. but that didn't keep the image of the blonde girl's rotting face from twisting my dreams around =T

That is exactly what kept any of the movie from effecting whatsoever. I was laughing so hard at how lame the movie was, that none of the "visuals", a.k.a. bad attempt at Stan Winston style gore, couldn't possibly leave a lasting impression. The only horror I fealt was when I realized I would never get those 2 hours of my life back.
