Austin suggested I make a list of scary movies so here it is.
1.
The Descent - By far the scariest movie I have ever watched. The plot consists of a group of friends who go spelunking in an unexplored cave. There, they find an unknown humanoid species, which is attracted the scent of human flesh. One by one, they are slowly picked off by them. The movie also includes plentiful amounts of betrayal, murder, and romance.
2.
Silent Hill - The plot for this movie is what makes me like it so much. It talks about a little girl who keeps having dreams about a place called Silent Hill. The mother is worried, so she takes her to Silent Hill, hoping for find some sort of redemption for her adopted daughter. When they reach the deserted town, they find out that the town had a dark and mysterious past. This movie is filled with gruesome monsters and scenes that will make you want to puke.
3.
Office Yauh Gwai - Office Yauh Gwai is a foreign Chinese film which talks about a haunted office building that's haunted by ghosts. The workers have no idea that it's haunted, until people start committing suicide. Slowly, the ghosts reveal themselves, and the workers are being picked off one by one.
Do not watch alone. It also has English subtitles.
4.
Stay Alive - The movie's plot was interesting so that's why I picked this movie for the list. The plot talks about a group of friends who start playing an underground video game called Stay Alive. They slowly find out that when their character dies in the game, their real life counterpart dies as well. The only way to survive the game, is to beat it, and to do that, they have to kill the Blood Countess. Based on the story of
Elizabeth Bathory.
5.
Pulse - This story is an eerily possible one. It talks about how the dead are trying to come back to the real world by accessing wi-fi hot spots. After I watched it, I never felt the same way about cell phones again. The unrated version is by far better then the version shown in the theaters since they had to cut out a lot of the scenes to make it a PG-13 movie. Remember, unrated is always better.
Have you ever noticed that Angelina Jolie's lips are abnormally large? I was thinking, she may have had some work done. Maybe, if she was living in Chicago, she would have visited
Chicago lip augmentation. Man, I would fall for any girl who looks like Angelina Jolie. I mean, she even got Brad Pitt to fall for her. That reminds me, I have to go drool over her pictures now.
bq. You see a tall, mysterious looking brunette girl creeping closer to the basement door. You all of a sudden hear screaming and wailing in the basement. The girl's eyes widen in fear as she slowly reaches out for the door knob.
In the background, you hear the string section playing fast eighth notes to create a feeling of suspense.
The girl slowly turns the door knob, and you hear a heart pounding. Thump thump, thump thump. She breaks into a cold sweat, as she walks through the door.
'AHHHHHHHHHH.'
Then... the girl is no more.
Have you ever noticed that some movies aren't generally scary until you hear the music in the background? I believe that it's not the plot, or the characters that make a horror movie horrifying, but the suspenseful music. Such as, in When a Stranger Calls, the main character walks down a dark hallway, and you can hear string instruments playing really fast high notes. You also hear low brass instruments such as trombone and tuba blasting sharp accented quarter notes. I hope I'm not the only person who notices this... Then I'd be an official band geek.
Also, with most horror movies, everything seems to be faded in colour to create the feelings of despair. At least, thats what it does to me.
My brother goes to college at UCSD, so I know plenty of good hotels down there. In my opinion, the
Ivy Hotel in San Diego is by far, the best hotel there is. I mean, it even got a five star rating. Now that's saying something. :smile: The room types consist of suites, jacuzzi suites, penthouse suites, and of course, the presidential suites. I would kill for a room with a jacuzzi. They also have a nightclub, for all your wannabe Lindsay Lohan's out there.
