The scariest movie I've ever seen is "The Rapture" (with David Duchovny and Mimi Rogers pre-Xfiles). However, it is very hard to find on VHS, and hasn't been released to the best of my knowledge on DVD.

However, it really isn't a horror movie, doesn't have much gore, though there is death, and oh, yeah, the world ends.

On the whole, it is more disturbing, and that stays with you for ages than any regular horror movie.

Also, shouldn't there also be a list for worst horror movie?

"The scariest movie I've ever seen is "The Rapture" (with David Duchovny and Mimi Rogers pre-Xfiles)."

Exactly what I was going to say! That movie just creeped me out.

I also saw that and it has had lasting affects on me as well. Mimi Rogers was a little too good in her role as demented religious fanatic.

Somehow I don't believe the scenario, but it certainly was plausible - and disturbing.

Note to blogcritics.org: Please don't say "my bad".

It has to be the worst phrase ever overused in the past few years.

my only comment is on this post...
Blogcritics Scary Movie Poll is -- cute

As cliches go, I don't think "my bad" is all that bad: it's short, it's taking ownership of a mistake rather than deflecting it as is the contemporary habit, it turns "bad" into a noun but turning it into a noun isn't as bad as turning it into, say, a dangling participle, and it's cheerful rather than surly. So there.

I was much like you gatmog, when that phrase first started spreading. I tried my hardest to avoid using it because I thought it sounded, well, stupid. However, it's been used so frequently by my group of friends that it eventually stuck on me and now I'm an avid user. It's less stupid to me now though since it's been normalized.

By the way, I noticed Night of the Living Dead is #1, what about Dawn of the Dead? There's suppose to be a remake of that coming up too, it'll probably be aweful like all remakes though.

Gatmog,

My bad, er I mean my "incorrect" I rarely use such silly cliches, I am the queen of avoiding blogsphere phrases like the omnipresent "asshat" and "IMHO" - which in my opinion means I AM A HO.

So there.
