Dead End (2003) is worth seeking out. It's a supernatural road trip horror comedy film featuring Ray Wise.

The Convent is also a good movie about neon demonic nuns haunting an old convent.

I think you are the greatest Elmo, but I'm afraid I may have to kill you for suggesting that.

IAmSinistar: Speaking of Civil War horror (not a huge genre), Dead Birds is a creepy-as-f*** film that seems largely unknown. Highly recommended.
Henry Thomas. That's on every once in a while.

"LONDON"! 1st movie I ever got on DVD. I actually had a chance to see that in the theatre when it came out. I think it's greatness adds to how bad "Paris" is. With "Paris" is was like they were trying to make a sequel to "Citizen Kane", it just isn't going to work.

But the characters were different and had nothing to do with london's story and despite being a comady and use of cgi Paris did spook me with when the first werewolf appearances came mostly because they did not them clearly.


(I never seen London, but the transformation scene was iconic)

GabiMoro: The most scary movie that I saw was one with a giant killer octopus/squid, but I don't recall its name. I couldn't sleep the whole night.
I saw it before 1994, so probably the movie it's from the '80s...

undeadcow: Here's a list of movies that feature tentacles: http://www.horrormovies.org/database/keywords/Tentacle/

You can also search the Horror/Sci-Fi database for Octopus or Squid. There aren't a lot of titles that come up and even fewer before 1994 so maybe one will "ring a bell." Please do report back if so.
Thanks, but unfortunately none of them seem to be the one I'm looking for.
Hey c'mon. B-movie does not mean 'good, maybe big budget, but underrated',

it means Squirm.

I blame the 90s for the agonizing death of B-movies.

I saw Dead End a few years ago without knowing anything about it and it became one of my favorite movies ever
Suspiria is my favorite!

I wonder if Slither counts? It had a 12million budget but everything about it is classy b horror. definitely recommend.

Reptilicus. Positively terrifying.

doccarnby: I second Prince of Darkness, but Ghosts of Mars is pretty fun. Also I love the Halloween series, absolutely love it (except H20), even the remake and it's sequel, and 3. Also, watch Halloween 3. It's pretty damn good.
avatar
xxxIndyxxx: I've seen them all and i love them even the remake by rob zombie. But i don't like Halloween 2 and suprisinly i didn't lik the Halloween 2 remake either even though it was a lot more different then it's source material then the remake of Halloween was.

Edit: I actually think that of all the slasher horror movies franchises the Halloween series has been the most consistent in making decent sequels...
I think it depends on what you consider decent. I absolutely love the Halloween series, but I absolutely hate H20, whereas Friday the 13th, all the sequels are at least fun to watch, even if some of them are bad. Or pointless, in the case of the remake.

I also second Killer Klowns from Outer Space and Dead Birds. And Reptilicus is so bad it's fun.

Slither definitely counts! Thank you for reminding me, I was looking for Slither when I came across Splinter, somehow. I watched Splinter, I loved it (especially because it's a post-2000 horror movie that basically relies on practical special effects/prosthetics instead of CG), and in the meanwhile forgot all about Slither.

I really should thank you all for your kind suggestions; obviously, I could have just gone to a b-/c-/z-/psychotronic-movie website, but this way I think we're sharing with each other and every single one of us participating on this thread benefits from it. I now have two pages of suggestions, and I plan on watching a few tonight.

IAmSinistar: Glad to hear it! Jacob's Ladder is one of my favourites as well, and deserves viewing from anyone who appreciates complex horror. I've also long suspected that it influenced aspects of the Silent Hill games in some part.

EDIT: Just noticed you added Isolation to one of your earlier posts. I really enjoyed that one too.
Jacob's Ladder sure was an inspiration to Silent Hill developers. They say it quite clearly on the Silent Hill 2 DVD which, fortunately, I own, despite not having a PS2 (it came bundled with the PS2 copy of the game, a friend gave it to me). I also simply *had* to include Isolation in a thread where's such a bovine apocalypse enthusiast like you.

Nice! Glad to have my suspicions confirmed.

And I'd be remiss to not suggest the entire horror oeuvre of David Cronenberg. Mostly a-level films (Videodrome, Dead Ringers, The Fly, Scanners), but some fun b-level stuff in there too (Rabid, The Brood). Plus he plays the villain in the delightful Nightbreed.

I have a Cronenberg anthology on DVD, the man is a master of the macabre and the disturbing. Videodrome is on my top 5 movies of all time, along with Tarkovsky's Stalker, Buñuel's Las Hurdes, Pasolini's Decameron and Hitchcock's Vertigo. Spider is also a great Cronenberg film that people tend to overlook just because it wasn't the next eXistenZ. Scanners is a superb masterpiece, but I think of it as a b-movie, actually.
