HELTER SKELTER (1976) Charles Manson
THE MANSON FAMILY (2003) Charles Manson
MONSTER (2003) Aileen Wournos
THE HILLSIDE STRANGLER (2004) Kenneth Bianchi & Angelo Buono
PERFUME:THE STORY OF A MURDERER(2006) Fiction

i remember watching Helter Skelter at a drive-in when i was a child. Perfume probably the weirdest movie ive watched in this genre. The Manson Family, i think i switched off 10 mins into the movie, extremly violent, will try and watch it again someday

I thought the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre created an awesome level of tension and just never let up.

I don't know if I would call it the "creepiest," but I really like this one.

The Stepfather (1987)

Maybe not the movie itself but Terry O'Quinn's performance is certainly scary.

ironically I've never seen this despite winning it as a prize in a radio competition in the mid 90s - they sent me a vhs of JAWS by mistake.  :thumbdown:



THE MANSON FAMILY (2003) Charles Manson

 The Manson Family, i think i switched off 10 mins into the movie, extremly violent, will try and watch it again someday

you should, it's excellent IMO. a lot of the 'based on a true story' serial killer flicks I've seen didn't really work for me. (Zodiac, the Ted Bundy ones etc.) they put a real interesting spin on THE MANSON FAMILY that put it in a different class to the standard bio-pic fare

Heck yes.  Great but seriously disturbing film.

Another pick:

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_n-hm9gvEHbk/SK-3jTtwH8I/AAAAAAAAA_o/Av_-kO5QqDk/s400/The-Killing-Kind.jpg)

The Killing Kind (1973) - Features one of the most uncomfortable murder scenes I've seen in a movie.

Remake was mentioned but how 'bout the original?

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/07/TheTexasChainSawMassacre-poster.jpg/220px-TheTexasChainSawMassacre-poster.jpg)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) - A nerve wracking and singular film in my opinion.

This movie is pretty good. It's another one about Henry Lucas. It's not gory, just a really disturbing look at a group of outcasts.
I here the DVD is cut. Why is a mystery, it's not gory, I'm guessing they didn't realize their source was cut.
I like how the cover apes THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Which is another good serial killer flick.

Seriously f**ked up.
The vhs tape scene made me feel like I needed a shower.

I watched it with Tara Sue and one of her freinds I didnt know-and I felt like I should tell them how sick I thought it was-in case her freind thought I was some kinda sicko for watching this horror to begin with!
Tara already knew I was a sicko.  :wink:

DERANGED (1974) was lotsa fun,though.

Dahmer (2002)

Overlooked and ignored. Not a cheap cash-in, but a disturbing and creepy portrait of one sick individual. Excellent cast and performances.

I'll have to second The Sadist.  I found it rather more disturbing then Henry, I think because of the character Arch Hall Jr. plays versus expectation of films from the era.

It's about Russian serial killer Andrei Chikatilo.

That's definitely a good one and unfairly ignored IMO.  Great characterisations and not an excess word of dialogue anywhere.  It also captures the feel of the time (cold war soviet).  Stands up very well to repeat viewings.   :thumbup:

The Captive Female is kind of disturbing.  I've got it under the title Claw of Terror on the Blood-O-Rama 4 pack.  It looks kind of cheesy on the trailer, but it's oddly effective.

MAYBE NOT 100% SAFE FOR WORK

I love THE SADIST, but I don't think of it as creepy or disturbing. More tense and suspenseful.

True Rev., it is more my own expectations which is a subjective matter.  I think I need to watch less Munsters and such and more earlier obscure/dark cinema.  I never really considered the subject in the 40's/50's/60's  though I must confess 50's/60's cinema is probably what I have seen the least with big name movies of the time being an exception.  I must confess in watching I have skimmed over them.

CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL KILLER (with set piece artist Robert Burns as a Henry Lee Lucas type),the SADIST,the 80's MANIAC,MONSTER,and CTEZEN X are all excellent.
And LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT,the DEVIL'S REJECTS,and the despicable I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE are all effect-sometimes too much-as are the TOOLBOX MURDERS,the SINFUL DWARF,and LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET.

I enjoyed "Rampage". Shocked that it was a Uwe Boll film. The whole scene in the hairdresser shop just makes me ill and depressed when it crosses my mind.

And, RC, my friend! "Last House On A Dead End Street"?!?! That thing is...disturbing. Like being so stoned that nothing makes sense as a whole and the individual moments of lucidity are frightening. I think it is about time to revisit that as I have avoided it since the first time I saw it over 25 years ago. I'll blame my nightmares on you, kind sir, for reminding me of it.   :bouncegiggle:

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE

I understand your opinion on this film. And, in the great scheme of things, why make a film such as this?

Still, if someone is going to make a bit of vile transgressive cinema, they could do worse than this. And in another thread (my memory fails), I compared and contrasted this and its recent remake. They both present very clear mentalities, although I can't help but wonder how much of that was pure accident or if it was planned.

Because I can see an underlying theme or idea behind the vile acts I see in the film, I mentally accept the two versions of this film as a very dark area of cinema.

Having said that, I've told my fiancee that I will never suggest she watch either version. If she WANTS to see either, I will ask that she watch both and that we talk about them and the themes and ideas behind them. In fact, these are not films I would ever suggest to anyone as they are not films that entertain or even likeable. They are, at best, social commentaries on gender mentality.

I agree. Haven't seen the remake...but I have rewatched the original ONCE-and still felt the same way. It was in NO WAY entertaing in any form for any reason. It's sick,hateful and sadistic.  Why was it made?
Not sure-but I can guess.

There is a segment of "respectable" society who want more than just 'horror" films-they wanna see the dark side-want to enter it-without getting hurt.
Bulls**t Satan cults,black Metal kids who think death is cool...because being a "rebel" is cool-what's more reblious than serial murder or Satan worship??
I know-because I was-and am to a extent-still alienated. I don't believe in Satan-I don't watch torture movies (as Hallows said-loathsome)-but I am not rebeling anymore-havent for years.

But kids are jaded-they need thrills.
Scary,isn't it?
And why do I get the impression that the originater of this thread is using aliases in the "What is this movie" thread and asking questions about killers with cameras?

I was wondering which one you were talking about, I like both films quite a bit but Friedkin is clearly the superior filmmaker.  I think it's a real shame that so many of Friedkin films don't have proper dvd/blu ray releases. Rampage was never even released on dvd and Sorcerer never got a proper wide screen dvd to the best of my knowledge. It's a real shame to have to watch such great films via crappy internet rips.

I also thought he was talking about the Uwe Bol movie RAMPAGE. that is basically a serial killer film too. well 'spree killer' to be specific

about I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE - just a poorly made film imo... the themes and subject matter doesn't really bother me. nothing wrong with wanting to make a sadistic/dark or even repellant film. it's the fact it was so badly handled/acted/scripted etc. (and not in a so-bad-it's-good way) that made it fail for me. the remake is hardly any better but is at least less annoying

fair enough it's all opinions... out of interest how would you rate it compared to LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (original)? for me that's a way better example of that kind of theme. I found it more 'disturbing' and generally more entertaining/watchable...

I think the main thing that spoiled I SPIT... for me was the mentally retarded guy. he's the most excruciatingly annoying actor I've ever seen. the whole film seemed to collapse in on itself every time he spoke or was even on the screen. the main character is actually trying to put in a credible performance and he totally undermines it by just being so crap!!

*not because he's supposed to be mentally retarded of course, I'm talking about the actor.

I saw Last House On The Left when I was a kid. My dad rented it and shut it off about halfway through. I don't really remember too much about it, to be honest. Haven't gone out of my way to see it again. But I did see the remake not too long ago, which I thought was incredibly lame. So, I'm not really in any position to compare the two films at the moment.

Post by: Mofo Rising on October 14, 2012, 02:50:14 AM
Confessions of a Serial Killer is probably the one that springs to my mind first. It's the same Henry Lee Lucas story that Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer treads. Henry is undoubtedly the better movie, but Confessions really strips all the glamour away (and it is a bit sad that serial killers do have "glamour"), and focuses on a disturbing, homicidal nebbish.

There was a spate of direct-to-video serial killers in the late '90s, and Dahmer was probably the best of the bunch. It features an early performance by now superstar Jeremy Renner, and it did a pretty good job of eschewing the slasher ethic and focusing on the horrifying psychology of a serial killer. I actually remember the movie most for the powerhouse performance by would-be victim Artel Great. Doesn't seem he's done a whole lot since then.

I just watched a creepy little movie called Tony, which seemed like it would be a horror-comedy, but ended up being anything but. Not a great movie, but worth watching.

No, I felt the same way.  It's extremely unpleasant but I thought it was a pretty effective revenge movie; at least it didn't make me feel insulted the way the original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT did (haven't seen the remake of either, no desire to).
