Debby would that be Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? I think that is the name of that movie. And Rhea, yes, the movies are old, but as far as suspense goes, nothing beats them IMO anyway

Cool!! I love a bit of suspense!! Can you hire them out still? Or would I have to buy them?? I'd love to see them! (so many "scary" films suck I love it when I find ones that are good!)
Sooooo... where can I get 'em?!?!

PS - Just read your signature Hissy - thats so cool!!

I've only read Ten Little Indians in high school. It was by Agatha Christie, right? I think I remember Wait Until Dark. I like some scary movies. I loved Poltergeist! I am getting brave about wathcing all these movies. Can you post what movies are good so that I can watch? Thank.

I'm sure you have seen The Silence of The Lambs....but if not...run right out and rent it...it is awesome!!! So much better than it's sequel...Hannibal.

Yeah, I thought Hannibal was kinda boring..... but there ya go... thats just moi!!

All the movies mentioned on here so far are worth watching Alicia, also I'd recommend, What Lies Beneath and Stir of Echo's.... both are very good!!
Enjoy!!

Ooooooh! I recently saw Silence of the Lambs...that was a GOOD movie and scary at some parts. I definitely reccomed that movie. I haven't seen Hannibal yet...maybe someday though (since I heard that its not that good).

Debby-does the book go along with the movie, Silence of the Lambs? I will probably just read the book then, if it has something to do with the movie.

I agree and disagree with Debby on Hanibal. Overall the book was much better, but I liked the end of the movie better. I think it stayed truer to the characters, especially Clarice, than the book did. I won't go into details for those who haven't read it/seen it. I heard so much hype about how gory the movie was and I didn't think it was all that bad.

Has anyone read/seen Manhunter? It is the prequel to Silence of the Lambs. The movie is good, but you can definitely tell it was made in the 1980s. They are actually remaking the movie with Anthony Hopkins reprising his role as a younger Hannibal. Should be interesting.

Now I remember what I'm talking about!


Red Dragon was the book prequel to Silence, but when they made the movie they called it Manhunter. If I remember right (and it was made in the 80s) there was a martial arts type movie coming out with a similar name so they changed it to Manhunter so no one would get confused.

I saw it. It was ok. When my hubby first saw it there was still rumors that it was real and that made it really good. When I saw it everyone knew it was just a low budget film, so it was ok.

Alicia, nope, I haven't seen that, though im still in two minds whether to or not... I've heard loads of different things about it!!

Valanhb - You're right!! There was a film called Red Dragon too - I think it was a Bruce Lee film??Or someone like that anyway!! (probably somone totally different but never mind!) Sooooo to get this straight, they are BOTH the prequal, but Red Dragon is the book and Manhunter is the film... COOL! Now I know what to look for in the video shop when I go to "RENT" one out!! (thankYOU Debby!! :LOL: )

I'll have to see this movie! We're all sick, do you know that? My son and I used to watch scary movies together. I would watch the video first, or the HBO-whatever, and them tell him how good it was. Then, just as I noticed he was totally engrossed and expecting something awful to happen, I'd throw a piece of candy at him and watch him jump a mile! No, it wasn't child abuse. He was a 6'4" 20 yr. old weight lifter! If he had done that to me? Well, now we are talking abuse!!
