Friday the 13th (1989)
SCARIEST VIDEO GAME I PLAYED AS A CHILD
This game scared me to death as a child!! I played it when I was 7 years old and it changed in some way my taste in video games. Since I played "Friday the 13th" I haven't find any other video game that could scare me. I've played and beat Resident Evil, the scary Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Shadowman, etc. and none of them matches the fear factor of Friday the 13th.
I remember the tension when Jason would kill the children and your character was far to save them. Jason's mother's head is stuff for legend in a video game.
I recommend this game if you live the Friday the 13th experience like me, and other fans. Nevermind the fact that this game it's not based faithful to the movies.
The Dead Come Home (1989)
The killer is a 100 year old woman.
How can this movie go wrong?
This is simply slasher fun. The plot is somewhat original for a horror movie...
Eight friends spend the weekend fixing an old house, little they know that it's owner is still living there. That may sound normal, just ignoring the fact that the owner is already DEAD (murdered 50 years before). One of this teens has the great idea of smashing a grave in the backyard,as a reaction the owner instantly awakens from the dead!! The fun begins. One by one this teens get brutally killed by the owner (a creepy 100 year old woman!), then they return to life as zombies. In order to get out of the house, the survivors have to kill the old woman and the rest of the non living habitants.
The creepy house, the effective score, plenty of gore, and some scary situations make this a fun slasher. Check out the scene where this guy tries to escape opening a window in the second floor, when he's about to jump the window closes chopping him in two. Apparently watching, the old lady throws him a stick pole from the second floor impaling this guy's torso to the ground.
I recommend this movie if you are a fan of the genre, you will not be disappointed. Ignore the fact that it's produced by Troma, they were not involved at all.
The Exorcist (1973)
11th Commandment : Do not play with the Devil.
Seriously, the consequences are terrible and they're shown through this movie. THE EXORCIST is simply excellent, and has to be the scariest movie of all time. No kidding. If you watch this movie objectively and knowing that the devil exists well you will have a frightening experience.
The plot is complex to understand. A 12 year old girl (Reagan) plays the Ouija Board invoking the spirit of a demon that uses the nickname "Captain Howdy". This demon is known as Pazzuzu. Let's not get into details about this "Captain Howdy".
Reagan soon gets possessed by this demon, but little she knows that her soul is in risk. Reagan's mother is desperate because her little daughter has been examined by many doctors and they just can't find an answer to her conduct. Convinced that her daughter has been possessed by an evil spirit, Reagan's mother asks the help of the young Father Karras keeping the faith that the priest is going to exorcise her daugher. After meeting the possessed girl, and filling the requisites of the Church in order to "declare" the girl as possessed, Father Karras realizes that an exorcism has to be practiced immediately. But he cannot perform it alone, so he asks the help of Father Merrin, a veteran priest that performed an exorcism years ago in Africa.
Both priests will risk their lifes in a battle with the devil, a battle which purpose is to free the spirit of an innocent girl.
This movie is shocking, and I mean shocking because it's based on a real situation... Think about this for a second: would you dare to play the ouija knowing that maybe you could invoke an evil spirit? Do you believe in the devil? ... If your answer is yes, watch the exorcist and have a good scare.
The excelent acting by Max Von Sydox, Ellen Burstyn, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair deserves a big recognition. Burstyn, Blair, and Miller were nominated for an Academy Award for their acting. The direction is simply masterful, Friedklin gets the feeling of evil and he portrays it with his camera. The scary music and the F/X are awesome for it's time. The scene where Father Merrin arrives to Reagan's house is one of the most memorable moments in cinematic history. Overall, this movie holds with dignity it's title of the MOST SCARIEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. It's a shame it didn't win Best Picture in 1974.
