Movies that made your paranoid
 

Fightclub- for the reason that you can go completely insane and you dont even know the other lifestyle u can live
Matrix-duh, robots and all this not being real
The Ring- tv's,telephone calls, mirrors, and water wells

Fire In the Sky.... didn't really give it much thought until I was driving down a deserted road at night, then I realized I could be taken by aliens at anytime.....

Enemy of the State.

The big foot documentries made me paranoid back in the day. I feared he would walk up to my backdoor and break it down.

Pretty obvious, but the Exorcist made me pretty paranoid. The scary thing is that that kind of thing has been reported of happening. :(

yea dude those 3 fuck with your mind a bit. the ring is fuckin crazy.

Memento - not remembering who is who and who is bad...

all i can think of right now

edit: forgot vanilla sky, but someone already got that i think

Blair Witch Project. I have a regional forest in my backyard. (I saw the movie before its hype made most people expect too much.)

Vanilla Sky, for the same reason as The Matrix.

Sixth Sense. Made me afraid for a while that a scary ghost was going to pop out of nowhere and start talking to me.

The Ring. Televisions are creepy.

Vanilla sky
Purple rain

I saw Stir Of Echoes the other night, thought it was quite creepy.

Movies yes, but the things that make me really paranoid are those creepy documentaries that they run on the Sci-Fi channel.

They cover alll kinds of things like Soviet psychics, bigfoot, chupucabra, ghosts, ufos, etc..

Don't know why, but after seeing one of those i have trouble sleeping cause i can't stop thinking about it.

Guess im a scaredy cat.

O.K. people are going to make fun of me for this. Blair Witch Project made me paranoid. I do not know why though. Every little noise I heard at night I thought someone was going to kill me . I only got paranoid after I heard it was a true story.

The Cube
 

Fight Club - same as everyone else
Donnie Darko - better off dead?
Falling Down - never know when someone might just snap

Conspiracy Theory made me paranoid. It could just be because I live in NYC, and the locations that they picked I have seen often.

signs - trees, my roof, my attic, aliens
fire in the sky - alien abductions, open spaces
blaire witch - witches, night time, outdoors, children

growing up watching the Friday the 13th and Halloween movies made me very paranoid whenever I was in the woods or a suburban neighborhood after dark. To this day, whenever my wife and I are out walking, I say "this looks like the kind of place where Jason would be watching us from the trees" and quicken my pace.

Jaws. Had a hard time swimming in deep water after that one. Some ghost movies creep me out too

Clockwork Orange.

'nuff said.

Last House on the Left. Basically just some crazies killing people in an out of the way place. Nothing supernatural just crazy people that you could pass by on the street.

I can't believe nobody mentioned The Net! Thats like, the first major internet identity theft movie, isn't it?

It's not a movie, but the old shows The Twilight Zone creeped me out most of the time. Always gave you stuff to think about. I don't have cable anymore, but even when I did, it was hard to find. I should've taped that marathon on Sci Fi channel a few years back. =(

Jaws. I fell in love with sharks after watching that movie and learned all about them. Now I know what they can do.

*won't be swimming in the pacific ocean any time soon*

DUMBO......

????????????????

Re: The Cube
 

This movie was awesome. Have you seen the second one?

Conspiracy Theory Definitely Did Something For Me :hmm:

Someone else already said it, but Donnie Darko made me really paranoid for some reason...

PULP FICTION... not scary paranoid but more like "what are the fucking chances of that happening" fear.

Bring out the Gimp.....

When a Stranger Calls & The Shining made for many paranoid babysitting nights when I was much younger.

They seem pretty tame now - but then they were the things of nightmares...

The Movie "Pi,"

For those who haven't seen it, rent it or buy it. Just get it somehow, and watch it. Math has never screwed with my mind like this movie since Algebra.

Jaws. I'd get really paranoid about swimming because of it. I haven't eaten fish since I saw it

The Running Man. Made me not want to get locked up in jail to be put on a show like that sometime in the future. Never know what our government will do with inmates. Although now that I think of it, it wouldn't be that bad of an idea.....

Does the regular news count ????

Cant believe nobody said the one that scared the crap out of me when it came out

Texas Chainsaw Masacre

If you have not seen this film, I highly recommend it. Some facts about the film:

The original name for the film was "Headcheese" and also, "Leatherface". It wasn't changed to TCM until the movie was about to be released.

Tobe Hopper was originally shooting for a PG rating for this film.

The film is banned in the United Kingdom although it has recently be given a cinema release.

People actually walked out on previews of the film.

Spawned three sequels, none nearly as awesome as the first. The second one is good and stars Dennis Hooper, the third is alright with Ken Foree from "Dawn of the Dead".

TCM is based on the story of the serial killer, Ed Gein. Leatherface was based somewhat on Gein.

Leatherface wears three masks in the film; the "killing mask", the "old lady mask", and the "pretty woman mask".

"The Gone with the Wind" of horror movies"....Monarch Film Studies.

The narrator at the beginning of the film is none other than John Larroquette of "Night Court" fame.

The ring :eek: I could not sleep after that, even next to my boyfriend & Signs... mainly because we went to a park after wards, listening to M.M the theme of Resident Evil and we were all freaking out :eek:

28 days later
That made me think & I couldn't sleep during that night... Maybe because I live in England...

The Shining made me paranoid of empty hallways

Clockwork Orange.... there is NO movie like it and never will be.

The Exorcist scared me pretty bad when I was a kid.

American Werewolf in London too, but I've seen it since and it's cheesy as fuck.

Some X-files episodes scared the bejesus out of me, and made me so afraid of walking home at night, to my house in the woods.

Damned Fiji Mermaid, and those forest mosties w. red eyes

Jaws after I watched that movie and went for a swim everything that touched me in the water made me jump

Same here. I watched that when i was little and it scared the shit outta me. My mom would be watching with me laughing her ass off while I'm pissin me pants.....

Blair Witch Project! Totally totally. I didn't have a genuine deep sleep for probably over a year. So scary. It's truly the only movie that has ever scared me for real.

Crap all the good ones have been said already but along with most of the ones above:

Halloween
Candyman
and this sci fi original movie or maybe it was an ep of twilight zone where people in the future have comps in their heads all linking to a main comp that malfunctions

Jaws, for sure. No ocean swimming for me.

Poltergiest scared the crap out of me. Clowns are bad!

Silence of the Lambs - because there really are people out there like that.

Howard the Duck.. It made me afraid to pay to see a movie for a long time.

I forgot to add The Day After. I was 13 when I saw it and spent the next few years waiting to die in a nuclear war.

It sucked.

I've never seen Vanilla Sky, but I've seen the original Spanish versoin, "Open Your Eyes," and that freaked me out pretty good. I'm sure there's many more, I just can't think of them right now.

Pretty much my entire childhood of watching the X-Files, Outer Limits, and every single SciFI special has me paranoid about everything for life. :p

Of course, I'm also scared to death of E.T., Willy Wonka, and the Wizard of Oz, so maybe I should just get some help. :lol:

Man, when I was little, that flick scared the crap out of me too. But I saw it years later, and that took the sting out of it.

Except for the clown.

About a week after watching the ring, I was doubling the TV and the computer (the TV is behind me, so I occasionaly turn around - but I mostly listen), and the TV suddenly went static.. I flipped to another channel - yep, static. They were all static. It ended up being that the cable wire fell out. Needless to say it scared the living shit out of me. twice.

The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one ;) :icare:

Anyhoo...the only one that sticks out to me at the moment is 8mm...boy did that movie just sicken me.

For some reason the original Hobbit movie, the cartoon, freaked me out! What's the name of the creature that lives in the lake under the mountain? I can still have nightmares about him.

I don't remember the name, but the one where the guy calling from the upstairs phone asking if you have checked on the kids---totally freaks me out--used to babysit a lot

Sixth Sense,

Thinking some ghost will pop out of nowhere.

Panic Room - I live in a big house.

The Sixth Sense and The Eye

They didn't make me paranoid, because I was allready scared to death of the things those movies show.

"Poltergiest scared the crap out of me."

When i was 5 or 6 my evil cousin showed that to me while at a cottage. That night..staring out the window into a forest of all to creepy looking trees...it still haunts me to this day.

The Ring, mostly because my friend knew i was watching it and called up with the seven days thing, kinda spooked me a bit.

The X-file episode where the guy has the alien pop out of him while in the shower and go into the drain...I didn't bathe for weeks, much to the disdain of my classmates.

The Ring, for obvious reasons.
Memento, you need to see it....
The Others, just a great twist ending.
Christine (The Stephen King movie), I was very very nice to my car for a while after that.
Sphere, the whole underwater atmosphere adds to the freakiness.

Idiotically enough, "Jeepers Creepers" made me paranoid about driving on highways alone for a while.

"Aliens" scared me when I was little.

surely enough i've almost gone insane thinking about the message in the Matrix.Truely i have almost snapped.Until i forced myself to regain control.But until recently another thing has been bugging me.What about the thought of you being the only one in the universe and you are dreaming all of this?What IF this really is sudo reality?

Spaceballs

Scratch another one for Donnie Darko, Fight Club was just plain awesome.

This is so true!!!!!

Skippy

Okay. here goes

The Game- Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, that was a complete mind fuck

The Cube - great film that not too many people saw

Enemy of the State- Yes this is really happening

The Ring- Great flick that doesnt have a happy ending.

great call on consipracy theory.. also still look over my shoulder after watching the original night of the living dead too... call me a baby.. but wiggs me out.

YEEESSSS!!! Oh my <i>god</i> that movie screwed with my head.

The Spanish Prisoner - Heist/con flick that you don't see coming at ALL. David Mamet screenplay, so you know it's going to be fucked up.

Sleuth -- GREAT old '70's film with Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine.

People have already said Memento---I walked out of that movie with the compulsion to write myself notes so I'd know what I was doing in ten minutes.

I remember in about 7th grade or soemthing, i saw candyman with some other friends and we were daring everyone to say candyman (3 or was it 5?) times into the bathroom mirror. Needless to say, no one did it. Damn that was a scary night.

When i saw the nightmare on elm street movies when i was a kid i was afraid to sleep for a while.

Argreed, Candyman made me scared of going into a bathroom with the lights out

Event horizion - I will never set foot and a space ship headed for hell now :)

Donnie Darko: sombody said that i don't think that would make me paranoid but did make me think.

The Ring: I think i watched it in a bad mood cause i thought it was stupid, and not scary

Freddy vs. Jason : The drowned him and then made the mistake of killing his mother

( well fuck i hate it when i make that mistake )

My Shyla just saw the ring a few days ago, she said it was pretty creepy. I think I should watch it next time it comes on :)

Other than that, no movies have ever bothered me. Even when I was little my parents let me rent all those R rated horror movies and shit and they never did anything for me :(

One. The Omega Man. When I saw it as a kid and when I see it now. Just thinking about it bugs me.

The Ring....hell, I didn't even finish watching it! :o
The Shining....too many things to mention with that one.
Ohhh...and drat - this is driving me nuts because I can't remember the name. It was about vampires and in this one scene a guy (turned vamp) went to his friends place and was trying to get in....he was scratching on the window. To this day if I hear a tree branch making noise against a window I turn to jelly.
The Omen......yikes!

*EDIT... Salem's Lot was the name of the movie I was trying to remember. *shivers*

Does anyone have the picture of the well from the Ring?

Blair Witch Project and the original Night of the Living Dead.

But Silent Hill hill trumps them all. I realize it's a game, not a movie, but damn, that game scared the hell out of me. Gave me nightmares, the jitters, and every time I heard radio static I started looking for what was coming to get me...

Amityville Horror

Minx you should read the book (Salems lot I mean).

I don't understand why Fight Club is scary, could you please explain? I really liked the movie, and it was a big surprise about what the big surprise was (don't want to ruin it for those who haven't seen it), but I didn't find it scary.
Is it the "what evil lurks in the hearts of men" kind of thing?
Just wondering
:confused:

my thread was about paranoia not what scares you

any upadate on a picture of that well?

X files would be the most paranoid thing for me.

Blair Witch. Saw the film before it was released in san diego. Freaked me out.

And basically any old horror film. AFter i watch one. I have trouble trying to fall asleep.

"The Stepfather" (the first one).

Caddyshack 2. I thought someone was playing a Joke on me that a movie could be made so bad.

The Truman Show made me paranoid of being watched all the time >_>

"The ring" is on the top of my list...I run out of the room if the tv turns snowy...blair witch was awesome, I agree with johnny , I saw it at the film festival here, waaaay before it came out in mainstream...and I was so scared afterwards! I had to run to the car, but so many people think it's lame now, even though it was such a great film.

The biggest one for me was watching "The Astronaut's Wife" WHEN I was pregnant. Every woman who's been pregnant knows that you'll have those nightmares about the baby to come and what they may be like or what will happen giving birth. Not only did I have those nightmares but this movie gave me twice as many.

Then I was an idiot and watched the episode of X-Files where the women were being impregnated by demon childs and the "father" kept coming to kill the baby. Freaky. I can't believe I watched BOTH of them in the same month I think even.
