First time I watched the Exorcist I wondered what all the fuss was about, but having seen it again since a few times I now appreciate it for the classic it is. Wonderfully atmospheric and eerie.I don't have the nerve for horror films, although I found the Exorcist a right load of mince. The Blair Witch Project shit me right up though.
I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Bambi is not in The Blair Witch Project.I watched about 10 - 15 minutes of the Blair Witch thing and was bored to tears. Absolute drivel. Filmed with a cam-corder. C'mon.
Anyway, the scariest bit in a film for me was when Bambi's dad got shot. Didn't expect that!
Horror films make me laugh but real life can be scary. Sorry to go off thread here but I'm still getting flashbacks to seeing that poor little girl lying dead in the road by my home. Now that is horror.
Many thanks for that surprised anybody would be bothered.Quite seriously BBR, that sounds a bit like PTSD to me. If it continues and it's intrusive I'd genuinely recommend talking to someone about it rather than trying to live with it - there are straightforward things that can help here. Think of it like you would a sports injury - if it's still hurting badly after a few weeks and doesn't seem to be improving, you'd get it looked at.
A young lad who works in the cafe here in Bell Green has suffered bad from it as he saw more than me, and has been really upset. I heard the other day the driver is or has been in the Caludon Centre at Walsgrave hospital.I am not sure it is something I could forget if I saw that happen. I have seen a bloke get runover, but it doesn't compare to what you described.
Surprisingly on here is quite good for people actually remembering and thinking when the politics of ccfc is aside, like the thread about children also.
Maybe once the shrine has gone and it isn't so raw it might be better, can't imagine what the driver is going through either.
Jeez, I can't imagine what he is going through.A young lad who works in the cafe here in Bell Green has suffered bad from it as he saw more than me, and has been really upset. I heard the other day the driver is or has been in the Caludon Centre at Walsgrave hospital.
It is looking like a tragic accident and sadly just one of those things that can happen. The collection is going well online and all the shops here have collection boxes so the family give her a good send off. The mum was looking at the shrine the other day which was surreal.Jeez, I can't imagine what he is going through.
I know with the internet now people post all sorts of graphic videos online, but seeing something like that happen.
No Otis, it was about No7 in the series of Bambi films: "Bambi and Thumper - The Vampire Werewolf Rabbit Returns. Part 7"I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Bambi is not in The Blair Witch Project.
Maybe you are talking about the sequel.
Don't Look Now is a horror film that stayed with me for ages. The way it deals with grief and loss is expertly done through mystery and fear. It turns Venice into some kind of colossal monster too.
Many thanks for that surprised anybody would be bothered.
I'm pretty good at coping with stuff as I've been through a lot of crap in my life,and will cope with this too. Its only a week ago and the little girls shrine of flowers etc is still outside and lit up at night,so it will still be raw for a while. But I feel for the family of the girl and the driver who I hear is still in hospital in shock etc. Once again thanks for your comments.
Hope you're OK mate.Horror films make me laugh but real life can be scary. Sorry to go off thread here but I'm still getting flashbacks to seeing that poor little girl lying dead in the road by my home. Now that is horror.
The scene in the Shining when he goes into the hotel room and finds the woman in the bath, which I seem to remember is neatly intertwined with the little boys visions of the murdered twins and the blood pouring out of the lift shaft.
It's the combination of the visual as well as the audio. Classic Kubrick.
Yes I'm okay thanks for asking. Blanking it out of my mind now as it was getting me down. Yesterday there was a group of lads abusing each other right by the girls shrine,shouting at each other and goading for a fight. A couple of shoppers shouted at them have some respect will you for the girl. They carried on though which shows how life soon returns to normal round here !Hope you're OK mate.

The Blair Witch Project is a classic. You have to totally commit yourself to the story though or else the shaky camera and lack of actual on screen scares will distract you.
These type of films work by slowly cranking up the atmosphere of dread and fear until you become so engrossed that the smallest detail or scare will freak you out. I found the sound of the baby crying while the tent was getting attacked to be very disturbing. That's something most people will not even have noted but as I said, it works best when you're totally engrossed.

The ending is both bizarre and horrible.
Yep. Exactly.was thinking about the end of Blair witch for days after. So many people slate it but it let's your imagination lead which can be the scariest thing of all.
That's one of the scariest movies of all time. Gave me chills the first time I saw it. I especially liked the scene where they watched the grainy images of the alien 'devils' hopping around. The ending of that movie was copied in Ghostbusters. You just cannot beat those old sci-fi/horror movies.If you're old enough to have explored inside the rows of bombed-out houses in Coventry then the scariest scene ever is the Hobbs Lane sequence in Quatermass and the Pit. It's scary because you can relate to how the people inside those houses would have felt.
