Sorry zombs, everyone knows that putting Human Centipede as top 10 scary when it is nothing more thank schlock shock (and the idea was better than the execution) is taking the piss.
i beat you to the human centipede jab. :P
You did, but that is the one that is glaringly wtf. Take it off and bump Psycho up and I think most of us would look at that as a pretty generic but innocuous top 10 even for "scary", with the exception of the Wicker Man (as much as I loathe Rosemary's Baby, I can concede to D's point).
so what would you include in place of human centipede, then?

My man! The idea of that "twist" could of actually worked decently well too, why they butt-fucked it right out the gate is beyond me. And then continued for the rest of the flick as if they weren't even trying!

I just said I'd be fine with bumping Psycho up, and it's known I don't like that flick.

Was it polled? Seemed like just one magazine's opinion, which usually they aim for broad, which does explain why us hardcore horror fans are reacting miffed.
Yeah, it was just a figure of speech. I'm sure it's some casual horror fan who looked at other lists and then compiled films that might've made the author jump a few times or possibly some unconventional storytelling methods?

i meant that wasn't on the list already, as you'd be removing one. so it wouldn't be a top 50 anymore.

Well then obviously I'd throw NOES on there.

I can't wait to get Jig's opinion on this list and the lack of Scooby Doo on Zombie Island.

It's gonna be a heart-breaking scene. One day that boy will become a man, Havok. And you must be there to field his tears of joy when he gets his cherry popped.

I don't recall if I've seen Martyrs, or I am mixing it up with something else (probably am). I have my doubts of its placement as well though.

And 28 Days Later's high placement. I like the movie and all, but also not much to go one in the scare department that wasn't already covered in other landmark zombie movies before it.

About 45 minutes or so of a Shotgun toting teenager and her friend shooting up a house the main girl was held hostage in years earlier. Then the rest of the film is constant beatings and torture of the best friend of shotgun girl in hopes of finding out if the existence of a God exists. It's more or less brutal and shocking, instead of scary.

28 Days Later shouldn't be on the list either. Good story, but not list worthy.

Sounds familiar, but also sounds like a blur of other "brutal" movies, lol. I guess I'll have to revisit (or see it) for the next Challenge.
