You can read can't you?
Justify your choice if you want, or just throw it out there and see what happens.

As mentioned in previous thread, Jaws plugged directly into the primal fear part of my brain. I don't like the sea, and I liked it even less after seeing the film.
I also thought Event Horizon was pretty scary, and I don't really get scared by films.

This was the first J-horror film I watched and it caught me off guard, had me almost reaching for the remote. Other non-Japanese stuff generally just makes me jump here and there, but that film was genuinely fucking creepy.TezzRexx wrote:The Grudge
This wee shite still gives me goosebumps.

That picture's creeping me out. The thing I like about J-Horror is the thing that makes it Japanese - there's no happy ending, no magic thing to make the monster all nice again, or make it go away. The ghosts are just evil, malicious bastards, and because they're ghosts they'll always be there and always be evil, malicious bastards.
Although not technically a film, this still scared the living piss out of me when I was a kid

Also not a film, but the finale of Twin Peaks disturbed me for years. Still have recurring dreams about this bit:

There are no decent clips on YouTube of the scenes from the Black Lodge, but they really did terrify the shit out of me.

The first film I remember getting to me was House. There's a simple set of scenes involving a built-in-wardrobe door being pulled open. Sometimes it's a gateway to hell with scary devils bursting through, but sometimes...it's just a cupboard.
The most recent was Paranormal Activity. Again the simple, domestic scenes - you start to get comfortable despite knowing there's going to be a scare. But rather than the Boo! right in your face, it's a uuhhh-WTF hairs-back-of-the-neck creepiness.
In-between was Ringu, Dark Water and A Tale of Two Sisters, all Japanese and all pushing the spine-shivering buttons of the everyday gone a bit weird.
For me it's not the jump-scares or the gore*, but that cold tingle that starts at the back of your neck and trickles down your back.
*Effects of this vary, while parts of Pet Semetary, Gozu and Hellraiser made me feel faintly sick on first viewing, Ichi and Tetsuo were fascinating, Saw/Hostel etc were boring, the Cannibals were unpleasant for the wrong reasons, Amityville and Halloween were...arousing and of course Devil's Rejects/Braindead were hugely comical.
