Speaking of how awful 99% of horror remakes are, I curiously watched the 2006 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" on Tuesday night after watching the original film on Tuesday afternoon (for the first time in like 20 years) to compare the two.

The original is still great and a classic, but that remake...good lord. ****ing awful. Why people prefer the '06 remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" over the original is beyond me??? The remake is like if the movie "Saw" and any run-of-the-mill zombie/mutant FPS video game met in the desert, ****ed, and had a baby. Can we say boring much???
 
The Evil Dead trilogy is probably my favorite collection of horror movies. The first one was legitimately creepy while the final two were so fun. I could pick those up at any time. Ash Williams GOAT.

In terms of a perfect blend of atmospheric tension and creepiness that keeps you on the edge of your seat and provides authentic scares?

The Thing, Alien, The Exorcist, The Shining, The Descent.

The Descent? Love that movie. Love it, but I wouldn't put it up there with those.
 
I'd say my pick for the "Scariest Movie Of All Time" is....

In terms of atmosphere, this film is amazing. Plus to this day, it is the only film to have genuinely scared the hell out of me. I first saw it as a kid and even though I grew up watching horror films, this one truly scared the **** out of me. So much so that I refused to watch it for over 20 years.

Anywho I finally sat down and watched the DVD copy of this film that I bought a few years ago..yesterday afternoon. And even watching in the daytime a few scenes still managed to creep me out.

Mine too! I absolutely love the series. I have an Ash funko pop on my desk at work!

Scariest for me is Nightmare on Elm Street. Not sure how scary it is now but my first time watching it was alone at 2am when I was a young kid...so yeah definitely my most scared experience.
 
I've now watched Train To Busan four times in the last week or so since it came on Netflix Canada.

I absolutely love this film and just can't get enough of it. I could be wrong or forgetting something, but I think this film is the best zombie movie period. Of recent films the only thing close was WWZ. But the fact they made it PG-13 and showed almost no gore really rubbed me the wrong way with World War Z. I wish I could see a directors cut of it.

I just looked it up and apparently there was a completely different ending that the studio was not happy with and spent 20 million to rewrite and film again.

Agreed. I just finished it a few minutes ago. Wow. Absolutely incredible film. The ending was perfect, imo. This is now in my top 5 favourite zombie films easily, perhaps even #1. It was that good. It had horror, action, thrills, emotion, an actual good story line, great acting...

This movie is a benchmark for how Zombie films should be. I guess Korea and Zombies are a match made in heaven, because this film was about as near perfect as you can get for a zombie movie.

If you haven't already, watch this. Watch this, watch this, watch this.

It pretty much doesn't get any better than this for zombie movies.

What a film.

What would round out your top five? I think I'm going to watch this again right now.
 
I just watched The Babadook. Great first half of the movie, but somehow he turns into a really not scary dinosaur towards the end... Disappointing.
 
Reboot 2.0 of Friday the 13th is dead

http://variety.com/2017/film/news/friday-the-13th-reboot-canceled-paramount-1201979691/

Paramount has pulled plug citing costs among issues

Not that I am sad to see this fail (I didn't care for 2009 reboot and figure they would just follow same mistakes) but it does feel once again that Paramount simply is embarrassed to be associated with franchise

To cite its 21M budget as a reason shows that Paramount of today is not that different from Paramount of 80's. For those that didn't know despite FT13 making a ton of money for them in 80's they simply were embarrassed of franchise and wanted to make them for as little money and little publicity around Paramount as possible

FT13th will make a profit on a 21M budget + they would have gotten a 5.5M tax credit in California if they filmed it in Cali

At end of day it feels that Paramount again didn't want anything to do with Jason
