Re: Best Supernatural Thrillers
Stir of Echoes
Sixth Sense
The Ring (the last 30 minutes or so)
can't believe so many people liked 1408. wow.One must be fearless and tenacious when pursuing their dreams. If you don't, regret will be your reward.

Re: Best Supernatural Thrillers
I can't believe so many people like The Ring. I couldn't sit thru it, it was putting me to sleep. And the original Pulse was underwhelming. Not a fan of J-horror or its remakes.
I haven't seen a lot of the movies mentioned but I did like The Devil's Backbone.
Most Supernatural Thrillers are snooze fests. The story is usually on the thin side. More than a few minutes of "suspense" without the story moving forward and I'm falling asleep.
Is Identity considered supernatural? Most of that was OK. Didn't like the ending, tho.
I'm gonna check out Abandoned. At least the foreign element might make it a little more interesting.Last edited by Laura Reyna; 10-25-2007, 06:09 PM.

Re: Best Supernatural Thrillers
Yeah, seriously: 1408 and THE RING as examples of the "best"?
Of course, I leave myself open to attack with the following:
FALLEN (underrated Denzel pic...)
WHAT LIES BENEATH (completely predictable but enjoyable enough...)

Re: Best Supernatural Thrillers
Whoa...we forgot about The Ninth Gate
Not nearly as enthralling as the novel, but it's one damn good devil movie.
We could list (3) Japanese/Thai supernatural thrillers to Hollywood's (1).
Night Watch is a damn good supernatural thriller.
I'm gonna check out Abandoned. At least the foreign element might make it a little more interesting.
Check out Unrest too(script by a DD'er). I really enjoy it too....this and ABANDONED were the only truly good films at last year's Horrorfest. This year's line-up seems pretty decent.
The Deaths of Ian Stone and Borderland have both got a good 'early' buzz for this year's Horrorfest.Last edited by Adam Isaac; 10-25-2007, 08:11 PM.sigpic

Re: Best Supernatural Thrillers
Is it just me or is calling most of these films "supernatural thrillers" somewhat amusing considering the majority of them are really horror films?
I guess for some the phrases "horror" and "thriller" are interchangeable.

Agreed. A real disappointment.
