Right, enough messing around. I need some more horror films, and by horror I don't mean some 12A garbage with a bunch of B list 30 somethings pretending to be teenagers. What's needed here are real st your pants flicks. I nominate

Quarantine/[Rec]
The Grudge (Japanese Version)
The Changeling
The Shining
Dawn of the Dead
The Descent
Prince of Darkness
Below


Any more?

As nuclearsquash says, a lot of the original Event Horizon movie was cut to get it down to an 18 certificate and therefore a UK cinema release full-stop. Ferk knows what the footage they had to cut out was like!

Don't still-frame the video remnant from the original Event Horizon crew's log if you're planning on having dinner.
By all accounts the cut stuff was full screen flash backs of the original crew descending into hell over a period of time, real shame it was lost, as i think an editors cut would be damned good, it would add a lot more to the horror of the original crews situation as well as what the recovery team faced.
I think the reason it was cut was it just looked too cheesy

On the subject of the Exorcist and The Omen am I the only one who didn't find them scary in the slightest?
