Creepiest movie

[Jthe7th]

Here's a question for everyone:  what is the creepiest movie you've ever seen...good or bad?  For me it has to be A.I.  Call me crazy, but that movie was the definition of creepy to me.  That Osmet kid will be a good horror movie bad guy some day.

Patch Adams. What could be creepier than a hairy guy with an enema ball on his nose torturing terminally ill children?

Something about Ready To Rumble always creeped me out...

Here's a legit answer.

Roman Polanski's "Repulsion."

The creepy comes during the lead female's night terrors, when she imagines a male intruder is assaulting her.  Polanski cuts out all sound, the camera switches to subjective angles... it just... creeps the viewer out.  

It's a classic, but give it a chance.

Seven.....without a doubt.

I think it's the way the whole thing was filmed.

Even the bad guy wins in the end so to speak.

I remember leaving the theater with a bad taste in my mouth.

I honestly cannot remember walking out of a movie with such a depressed feeling as I had after watching that one.

Se7en was quite creepy, but I enjoyed that sort of creepy.

Heres a few (defnitely agree about Repulsion and seven too..)

- Black Christmas
- Tourist Trap (the movie's plot itself isn't too great but the mannequins certainly are creepy.)
- Devil Doll (60s movie) (parts of this film are kind of creepy with the music- especially the first scene where the doll stands, check out the dvd with both versions of the film released by elite.)

I always thought J Carpenter's "The Thing" was pretty creepy.

[wheresthecarrot]

For me, "Freaks" and "The Shining" always creep me out...also, any horror stories involving torture or real-life events creep me out.

Creepy in what sense? If you mean gory, probably the goriest thing I have ever seen was Paco Rabal being skinned in "Dagon", although I guess there are gorier things around. If you mean disturbing, I can't tell you right now, but Ashthecat remarks about disturbing endings reminded of "Chinatown", a film noir starring Jack Nicholson. I won't enter details, but watch it if you haven't.

I Spit on Your Grave has always creeped me out.  Although, I did like her revenge.

For whatever reason, when I watched The Gates of Hell for the first time alone in my basement at two in the morning with all the lights off, it just scared the bejeezus out of me.  That whole Italian approach of "horror movies should be seen as surrealistic nightmares" is working overtime in that one.  I think it was more the sound effects than anything.  Sound effects can scare me like little else.

Not a jump scare like the ones in "2001" and the original "The Thing," Not a kick-in-the- gut scare, like what will happen to the boy scout in "Lair of the White Worm," but an actual pervading sense of creepiness. It has to be "The 6th Sense," especially, the scene where the kid (Joel Haley Osment) has to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. And, as much as I hated the moronic stupidity of the characters in "The Blair Witch Project,," it was also a farily creepy film. Enjoy!

As much as I like the movie I found Labyrinth a bit creepy.  Something about David Bowie and pink naked monsters ripping each their heads off, gyrating and singing chilly down that kind of made me shiver.  And to think I saw this movie when i was six or seven.

It depends on the circumstance  How to make a monster or Tremors 1
