I totally agree with the storytelling point. Hellraiser was a great film.

I don't consider Fight Club a horror movie, but that has to be one of my favorite all time movies. Just well done! Awesome!

Anyone have any suggestions of psychological horror movies like that that I might like?

rob zombie has to make the worst horror films ever. honestly if i would have known he was directing the new halloween i would never have went to see it
but seriously that was the most generic horror film ive seen in a long time. no creativity, and there had to be about 3 different times within 30 mins that some teenagers were having sex, and michael myers manages to sneak up behind them and kill them (generically) every single time.
that movie was nothing but screamin, fuckin, and killin.
bout like rob zombies other movies.
Kenso, the sex element was present in the original too. A bit more graphic this time around, but certainly not terribly inconsistent with the original. I thought he paid homage to the original just enough by re-enacting a few scenes almost identically. But, unlike a few recent remakes where they are exactly the same as the original, scene for scene(i.e. Psycho), he gave us a pretty cool back story about Michael Myers. I also thought having that girl Danielle Harris in it was cool too, since she did a few Halloween movies as a kid.
I actually happen to enjoy Rob Zombie movie, a lot in fact. I can understand why others don't, but I look forward to anything else he does.
everyone is entitled to their opinion for sure, and no disrespect to you, or your opinion, but i cant give any credit to zombie what so ever.
its not just zombie either (although he definitely is top tier on my list in crappy horror flicks), its horror in general, its just so frickin generic! you know whats going to happen EVERY TIME. i wish when they made horror movies they would remember that the audience DOES have an IQ and they can actually include a story that makes you think JUST a little.
like someone said earlier, the ring, although this movie has alot of critics, at least it had a story, one that actually kept you interested. the saw movies are great too. silence of the lambs, another good one... im just tired of seeing zombies, and an unstoppable psycho path.
devils rejects, the new halloween (ive only seen one or two of the old ones, and while they werent anything amazing they definitely were better than the new one), hills have eyes, texas chainsaw massacre, the list goes on!
just wish horror movies could have some innovation or originality to em, tired of seeing pointless killing from beginning to end. thats all it ever is, killing killing, killing, and wait! we have a small amount of story (which is horribly predictable, and always generic), usually letting you know that basically there is some wild ass mofo(s) out to hack some people up and probably eat them.
dont get me wrong, i know horror movies are usually centered around killing and all, but when thats ALL its centered around and nothing else, its not interesting at all.
there needs to be a balance between story (a halfway intersting one) and horror.
maybe im just not a horror fan or something, maybe i should just stick to thrillers!
Mom got me started at a very young age watching Dark Shadows, which was a vampire based soap opera. I was into the Omen movies, Amittyville Horror, Dario Argento films. I love the Hellraisers, most of them anyway, some of the later ones actually have a cool edge to them, even if Barker had nothing to do with them. Original Nightmare on Elm Street was awesome as well, but I'll watch any of them. Candyman was probably the best horror movie to come out in the 90s.
