Shock, horror, it's 1971: Straw Dogs and the year of the controversial film
A remake of Straw Dogs reminds us that 1971, which also spawned A Clockwork Orange and 10 Rillington Place, was a wonderful annus horribilis of shock cinema in Britain
For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.
What is in your opinion the scariest movie ever made? Over the years we have seen some great horror movies make it to our screens. Some people who I've talked to believe the older movies like "the shining" or "the exorcist" are the scariest, because the movies rely on acting more than special effects. Others say that movies like "alien" and "silence of the lambs", even "blair witch project" are the scariest!
You tell me!
JASON!!! FREDDIE!!!

The Descent (2005) was pretty decent, about a group of females going in caves underground and getting trapped
Ringu (Japanese film, 1998) is very creepy and disturbing.
Halloween 1978, best of the franchise
Ju-on (japanese film, 2002) a haunted house/ghost story
The Thing (1982) fear of isolation, not knowing if people really are who they say they are, an invisible enemy is sub zero climates.
Audition (Odishon, 1999) another Japanese one is terrifying
Blair Witch 1999, that started the found footage fad. This one is actually pretty good, in a scary way.
Nightmare on Elm Street 1984, involving a classic villian and killer and again the original is the best
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974, nothing needs to be said, just scary!
id also recommend Noroi The Curse from 2005, a japanese found footage documentary
The Exorcist for religious folk
Psycho for girls
Finding Nemo for kids - just look at the cover.
The Hangover for men
As for TV shows the Walking Dead scares the hell out of me though I don;t know why they can't hear and get away from a slow-moving, noisy zombie.
And finally, Sanctum just out is a scary true story that is worth a watch
