Seen far too many that make me laugh more at how bad they are than actually being scary.
Shoot !!

There is ONLY ONE horror film that is the ultimate experience in true chilling horror.
The Exorcist.
No, not the washed out, scene deleted, audio deleted version you see at night on some lame cable channel with commercials....
I'm talking about getting the BluRay or DVD, and watching it on a nice large HD screen, with big booming speakers, at night, ALONE (if you have the guts) or with somebody that doesn't talk during a home movie... (light a joint also if you have the guts)....
And prepare for a most excellent adventure into the mind of the Devil himself.
Not only is it a great horror film, it's shot well, has great dialogue, acting, great editing, music, reality based effects (no digital crap), and sound. You will hear sounds and voices coming out of your speakers you've never heard before on the TV version. It will blow you away. If you have surround sound, prepare to be totally fucking freaked out.
The Exorcist is by far the best horror film ever made. It reaches deep into the mind and when it's over, you won't be able to get certain images and thoughts out of your head. Even if you are not religious, it will get you. If you are religious, you are in for one true mind fucking, with no condoms.
It's so fantastic, some people can't even handle it and their defense is to laugh to brush over what they just saw, and hope for a quick commercial. They laugh because it's a human response to being so scared. Watch it alone, IF you think the movie is funny, and see if you laugh. I doubt you will make it thru the film alone. Within 10 mins of the horror scenes, you'll be flipping on the lights.
There are numerous horrifying scenes in this film, too intense to write here, but... one comes to mind, when young "Regan" is possessed by the devil, she is in her bed, fucking herself with a cross, blood all over her pajamas, screaming in a low pitched devil's voice: "Let Jesus fuck you!!!... let Jesus fuck you!!!" Absolutely horrifying images.
Good luck and enjoy.
