Oh no, you misunderstand me. Feur Frei! said that French horror films were more frightening than the one that kept me up all last night, so I'm not really eager to see a French horror film.

The word 'scary' is so subjective it's unbelievable. Like music. Like fashion.
I don't get scared watching movies, and i've seen some really graphic and let's call them 'alternative' horror movies. No movie has scared me. Ever. (yea yea, i'm a big man). Underground i call them, not made by Bollywood, where they've got no idea how to make shock tactics and graphic effects and violence.
Let the French, and to a lesser effect, imports deal with supplying the non-average joe, like me, who, if wanting to watch a horror movie, actually wants the shock factor, wants the blood and gore, and doesn't want the camera panning away before the axe or god knows whatever implement or weapon is about to cut flesh or some such thing.

I don't bother with the garbage that comes from hollywood because i know it's not going to do the job for me.

If you get shocked or scared by crap like The Chernobyl Diaries, then i'm afraid that there's not much hope for you.

Movies like Frontier(s) or Martyrs, although not truly scary, (for me, but then we are talking subjective again) will give you an example of what i'm talking about, with none of the commercial crap that we are fed by hollywood day in day out, the French know how to do a horror movie.

I've boycotted commercial stuff for years now.
Won't touch it.

That's the exact same thing I told my scared friend there after we watched it. He's just like "I'm never going to watch this movie again." It was funny. I told him the same thing after Apollo 18. That movie isn't the least bit scary.

I've seen a Spainish zombie movie called Rec3 before but I don't watch any foreign stuff.

Hmmm, REC3 looks good, but I'd like to watch the first two first.

Talking of crappy US remakes, Quarantine is a remake of the first REC. It might just be great, but I'll watch the original over it anyway.

I just don't. They aren't as common as American movies and the few places that sell foreign movies have bad selections.

Scariest movie ever, comes down to you the individual as one person would sit there bored out their mind yelling at the film while another person goes screaming into the night.

So far I have not seen a film that gave me the shiver's but I do recall episodes of The Omega Factor scared the heck out of me as a kid.

Or Downfall? How could anyone not watch Downfall, the shouty scenes were just as good as the squillion-and-one parodies.

Or Battle Royale? Or Man Bites Dog? Doberman? Seven Samurai?

Just sticking with the good ol' US of A factory produced stuff, a good grounding for life.
