I've seen 23 (if I counted correctly).

Terrible title for this list since some of these films aren't scary, some aren't gory, and some are socially redeeming.

Attack of the Beast Creatures. A more redundant title there has never been.

Hmm, what have I seen...



12. Pulse (2001)

21. The Midnight Meat Train (2008)

25. Dog Soldiers (2002)

27. Bloody Pit of Horror: Gore? At the very beginning maybe, if I were feeling generous. It certainly wasn't scary.

32. Thankskilling: Absolutely no redeeming qualities or entertainment value whatsoever. Also one of the few movies that makes me angry simply by existing.

33. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead: It's Troma.

56. The Devil's Backbone (2001)

61. The Blair Wtich Project (1999)

63. Wrong Turn (2003)

66. Human Centipede: Least socially redeeming? You don't say.

I've seen these

Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl (2009) - turned it off after 15 minutes
The Quartermass Xperiment (1955) - thought it was pretty disappointing after Quatermass and the Pit
The Shiver of the Vampires (1971) - can't remember it, but I'm pretty sure I just watched it a few months ago
Contamination.7 (1993) - the one with the killer tree roots lol
Inseminold (1981) - old favorite of mine, watched it several times
Dog Soldiers (2002) - I thought this was fair
Sleepaway Camp (1983) - meh
Bloody Pit of Horror (1965) - fun exploitation flick
The House that Screamed (1969) - sort of nice and atmospheric, had good characters too I think.
Ravenous (1999) - that's the one with the werewolves in the Civil War era.  That was pretty good.
Session 9 (2001) - everybody loved this - I thought it was okay
Spider Baby (1968) - watched maybe 20 minutes of that a long time ago
The Blair Witch Project (1999) - no really, I've seen it lol
Wrong Turn (2003) - really liked that one

word. I mean how are they going to include the original BLACK XMAS, which is very influential/highly regarded and not very bloody, but not include a completely vile bloody sleaze-fest like  NEW YORK RIPPER?

lists...lists..lists...

Deathdream is "least socially redeeming"? Uh, excuse me, but that was one hell of a commentary on the horrors of 'Nam. Scary? Yes. Gory? No. Poignant in a kind of twisted way. Amazing? Hell yes! Also, CSPWDT? The last ten minutes were scary, but it doesn't belong on the list.


Title: Re: 66 of the Scariets Goriest Least Socially Redeeming Films You've Never Seen
Post by: JaseSF on September 22, 2012, 08:30:36 PM
There some real classics on that list actually.

The Innocents (1961)
Black Christmas (1974)  - probably the original slasher film
Eyes Without a Face
The Quatermass Xperiment - a must for classic Sci-Fi fans.
Don't Look Now

They list those with a title like that but left out Q, the Winged Serpent?

The whole list is like that. Some aren't gory, some aren't all that scary, some have a lot to say about society and human nature, and many have some measure of artistic merit. Hardly the scariest, goriest, least socially redeeming films out there. And assuming the "never" means that these are obscure movies, that's also a big stretch for most of the list.

I'm guessing whoever compiled this list hasn't seen many such movies.  Where's Buttcrack or Retardead?  I was about beside myself when I noticed May, which features a fair amount of commentary on human nature, and The Blair Witch Project, which really doesn't fall under any of the three categories.

lol, didn't see that in there...

"so guys, remember, we want some movies that none of our readers will have likely seen, let's broaden some horizons here...Go!"

"okay boss, how about the 10th highest grossing movie of 1999, which also had an innovative promotional campaign involving the internet, and pretty much had the whole world talking about it when it was released, meaning that the only people in the world who haven't seen it are people who don't even know what a movie is. how about that?"

Exactly. This list is just a prime example of how magazines are destined to die a horrible, money-failing death. It used to be that garbage like this was only available in magazine form. But now anybody, and I do mean anybody, can put together a list like this and have it paid attention to. The internet has made it that anybody with an opinion can have that opinion published. Now that may sound bad, but it isn't. The reason is because seriously knowledgeable people, people who are very well versed in s**t movies can spout out.

Survival of the fittest, lazy lists like this have no reason to exist anymore.

The only reason magazines like Maxim exist anymore is that they can get starlets to pose for them. (I'm not against that. Yes, I do want to see Diora Baird in whatever photoshoot you want to pose her in.) The rest of it? I've written better material, and I'm a lazy nobody.

Ou tof the whole lot of them I've finished Kubrick's The Shining and The Blair Wtich Project (1999). I tried watching Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) all the way through but I gave up on it about half way through. And I've heard of Human Centipede (2010), Human Centipede 2 (2011) and Cannibal Holocaust (1980).

Am I still allowed to come here?

Post by: fulci420 on September 24, 2012, 12:59:56 PM
I have seen

19 High Tension (2003)This was both scary and gory so the list is on point here.

21 The Midnight Meat Train (2008)Horrible movie where Bradly Cooper wanders around the subways for an hour and a half. Sadly i own this.

22 Martyres (2008)-Pretentious torture porn film that thinks it's deeper than it is.

26 Sleepaway Camp (1983)-Great ending, rest of the film is nothing special

27 Bloody Pit of Horror (1965)-I have this on a mill creek set, I think it sucks!

33 Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)-I like troma but there was way too many musical numbers here. Stupid and annoying even by Troma standards.

34 Don't Look Now (1973)-I read the book once.

45 Session 9 (2001)-This is not gory as I recall, but i remember when David Caruso did this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz5ODQCueP8

48 We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011)Actually a legit good film that is not horror. It is disturbing but seems out of place on this list IMO.

61 The Blair Wtich Project (1999)-Not gory, arguably scary.

63 Wrong Turn (2003)-Good movie don't know what's so different about it than other movies of its type.

64 Dracula 3D (2012)-As far as I know few people have seen Argento's latest so I don't know what this is doing on this list.

67 Human Centipede 2 (2011)-Finally one I agree with, this was gory and lacked social redemption, good job maxim I guess...

This list is extremely random, It seems that they just picked random horror sounding movies and threw them together. I think it's a fail though because it leaves out:
A Serbian Film (duh!), Girl Next Door (Yikes!), August Underground (Certainly no social redemption here), 1980's Maniac (perfectly fits the titles of this list) and many more.

Well if I'll give the list any credit its that it doesn't recycle the same mainstream titles that other lists do (ie f13, texas chainsaw etc..) and maybe somebody will get exposed to some obscure titles because of it.

5 Psychos in Love (1987)-This wasnt gory or scary...it was a silly comedy.
6 The Innocents (1961)-Very scary-no gore.
7 Vampyres (1975)-Wah?
9 Raw Meat (1973)-Dull...very boring...breif gore.
10 Black Christmas (1974)-Hmmm. I dunno. Run of the mill pre-slasher slasher.
16 The Quartermass Xperiment (1955)-GREAT film-no gore,though.
19 High Tension (2003)-OK...some of it made little sense. But ok.
21 The Midnight Meat Train (2008)-Stupid. The Clive Barker short story was better.
23 Inseminold (1981)-HAHAHAHA! A BAD movie if their ever was one!  :thumbup:
24 Cannibal Holocaust (1980)-Well-they got the gory part right...but stomach wrenching gut pulling does NOT equal scary!
26 Sleepaway Camp (1983)-DUMB movie-bizzare WTF? ending.
27 Bloody Pit of Horror (1965)-Hillarous! Try a drinking game with this-using "the Crimson Executioner" as the drinking words!  :drink:
29 Eyes Without a Face (1960)-Gory AND scary and strangly beautiful.
31 Theatre of Blood (1973)-Again-not real bloody or scary-lotsa intentional black humor from Vinnie,though.
34 Don't Look Now (1973)-Spooky-no gore.
41 The Day of the Beast (1999)-Over the top action horror-not very scary.
43 Ravenous (1999) Good movie...just good.
46 May (2002)-Hehhhh....hmmmm....it was...interesting.
49 The Last Man on Earth (1964)-Not gory-mild scares-notable for Price and a preview of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968).
50 Spider Baby (1968)-Again-a comedy-does Mantan Morelands ear count as gore?  :question:
51 Daughters of Darkness (1971)-Weird...pretty to look at.
52 Martin (1976)-GREAT movie... mild gore-as in blood.
53 Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things (1973)-Stupid COMEDY horror film...boring as hell.
54 Sisters (1973)-Great film!
61 The Blair Wtich Project (1999)-It was ok,I guess...overhyped,though.
65 Lord of Illusions (1995)-So- so Barker mess.



So yes, not only did they miscount, they also listed Kubrick's Shining on the list so I left it out for obvious reasons.-GREAT movie-scary -yes.


I've seen these....some of those listed I have no desire to see...and some of those I DID see were not all that great.

Post by: Jim H on September 27, 2012, 07:18:42 PM
10 Black Christmas (1974) I like that three of these are Bob Clark films.  This one is a classic for a reason, very creepy and worth a watch.  8/10.
13 The Seventh Curse (1986 Very gory and highly entertaining - it has about 10 minutes of Chow Yun-Fat, sprinkled throughout the film so they can say he co-stars.  Bloody gore, nasty monsters, kung fu monks, a giant buddha statue shooting blood.  SEE IT!  9/10
15 Deathdream (1974) Very interesting Vietnam-reduxed version of The Monkey's Paw.  Creepy, but not gory.
16 The Quartermass Xperiment (1955) Don't remember it very well, saw it as a lad.  Remember thinking it very good.
22 Martyres (2008) Gory, but overrated.  5/10.
23 Inseminold (1981)  Bad.  Don't remember it very well though, no rating.
24 Cannibal Holocaust (1980) Very powerful in some ways, but also vile in others.  Very hard to rate.  Beautiful theme music too.  I tend to give it an 8/10, but I could also give it a 1/10 depending on how I feel at the moment.
25 Dog Soldiers (2002) A lot of fun werewolf fluff.  Not scary, but it IS gory.  8/10.
26 Sleepaway Camp (1983) A few creepy moments, some gore.  Worth a watch for slasher fans, the ending is infamous for a reason.  7/10.
28 The Pit (1981) Can't really remember it.
32 Thankskilling (2009) Mildly amusing.  Occasionally funny, and smartly chopped down to a roughly one hour run time.  For a $3000 budget, it's not bad.  6/10.
33 Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) EXTREMELY gory, probably the grossest movie I've ever seen.  I found it genuinely funny though.  Especially the last gag, if you're a long time Troma fan.  8/10.
34 Don't Look Now (1973) Creepy, eerie, very memorable.  8/10.
41 The Day of the Beast (1999) Good film, great black black humor in it.  8/10.
43 Ravenous (1999) I enjoyed this one, especially the final act.  Great music too.
45 Session 9 (2001) Watched it while falling asleep.  Remember thinking it was alright.
49 The Last Man on Earth (1964) Occasionally effective and eerie, Vincent Price is great as usual.  Worth remembering as a prototype for zombie films.  6/10.
52 Martin (1976) Terrific little sleeper - definitely the best non-zombie Romero film.  Chilling, eerie, with a great lead performance.  9/10.
54 Sisters (1973) Also worth a watch, good early slasher.  7/10.
56 The Devil's Backbone (2001) Very good film, great photography and a little creepy.  8/10.
57 Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) Starts out pretty good, genuinely rotten final act.  6/10.
61 The Blair Wtich Project (1999) It's the Blair Witch  Project.  Gets a 7/10 for the final 20 minutes.
63 Wrong Turn (2003) Bad film, but I enjoyed it.  7/10.
I've seen the Shining.  It's creepy.  8/10.

So I've seen 24.  Maybe I should get cracking?   :teddyr:

If I had to recommend one of those I would say I Saw The Devil (2010).

It is a wonderful little Korean killer/revenge film.

I think everyone should stop and consider the source of this list: Maxim.

This magazine is aimed at the "modern" male stereotype. Vapid, opinionated (but uninformed except for what they read in Maxim), hipster wannbe, tunnelvisioned, image obsessed, Call Of Duty multiplayer fanboy, trend slave dolts. Not that I have an opinion....

But the target audience for this magazine doesn't watch anything other than what is on the top 10 list that week's top grossing films or has Megan Fox (or a certified Megan Fox clone/substitute approved by...MAXIM!). These are the people who won't watch a black and white film because it's boring simply because it isn't in color. And their total ability to reference ANYTHING time-wise goes back only 5 years at best. Naturally, their target readers will be amazed that these films even exist. So, yeah, good bet they've never seen them.

But I do want to make it clear that I'm not dogging the original post. Interesting list topic. Just a case of a bad source for the list. Kinda like Martha Stewart Magazine doing a list of the most awesome rap albums of all time. I don't think so.

I couldn't have said it better,Java!

These shmucks are the frat collage age dorks who listen to rap and flash gang signs and talk like gangstas do in movies. And get in their Daddy bought cars and blast rap music and "party" and think their bad ass when they play beer pong. Hard core,man!
Spoiled brats.
Thing is....this is the future of America-because the kids who DO have smarts and insight are either-
A.Poor. Abe Lincoln would never had become President in 2012.
B.Geeks-very inteligent-but they don't play politics-it takes liars and image-which the frat dorks will cultivate...and become politictions-salesmen,liars,and phoneys.
c.Scientists and economists-because their descions would be base on facts and figures-not image and bulls**t. I would add the military too-because of the simple fact the armed forces are out there and NOT playing politics-they're fighting-and know the facts first hand. I don't imagine you tink about politics when you have to go head to head with guns. I DO believe America should be armed to the f**king TEETH-and jump on any threat like a guard dog.
( As you can see-I've changed my veiw of war in the lat couple years...some people should die. Dont get me wrong-I HATE  war and the reasons why we went into Iraq-which was oil interest-but why didnt we go into Bosnia? Or Rhodeshia? I like that we f**ked up Khaddfi-Why arnt we helping the Syrian rebels?-Yeah I know-some of them are extremists taking addvantage of the original revolutionists-but we need to contact the leaders of the original freedom movement and  side with them...weed out the terrorist factions-and yes-I know-easier said than done-I dont know-Im a geek.).
 To parapharse Jack the Joker-This country needs an enema.
And Neither Obama (emasculated because of his emasculation by a polorized Congress), or Romeny ( a classic example of 2 faced -tell the people what they wanna hear- salesman)-We need a Lincoln,a Teddy Roosevelt,-hell-I'll even take a Regan over what we got now!! At least he did what he said-no matter what-and got s**t done.

What ever happened to principles,morals,common sense whiout being backed by huge lobbying corporations?

Like raising your own chickens if you can buy eggs in a McMuffin.
It's DEAD.
Dead,man.
