[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 683542, member: 39190"] There's a few ***les here I havn't heard of. I'll have to check them out as it seems to me most of the people who posted here appreciate the same aspects of a good horror movie that I do; atmosphere, pace, some semblance of a story or concept. Thanks guys, keep it up if you don't mind. Always good to try new things even if they don't always live up to one's expectations. If I can put together a short list of movies I like that I see as falling in or tottering on the edge of belonging to 'Horror' as a genre; Silence of the lambs (it's exponents are also very enjoyable IMO) Prometheus Alien (the entire series of which I suppose Prometheus is a part) Shadow of the vampire Solaris Brotherhood of the wolf Dawn of the dead 2001; A space oddysey Everything Kubrick Erm, I'll have to think a bit I suppose A horror movie I felt which could have been fantastic if they didn't go too far at the end is Event horizon. I think it is a fantastic hooror film if you watch the first half an hour and then turn it off and let your imagination do the rest. Thinking about it I like sci-fi based horror as opposed to something like 'the birds' though even if I think it is a well crafted piece of cinema for it's time doesn't catch my fancy at all; I mean, people seriously being threatened by birds?
