This "being in the middle of the fucking ocean" is also my drummer's deepest personal fear. When he's drunk, he can go on for hours about it, while I sit by and feed his anguish by making comments about such dreaded things as the
Mariana Trench.
We must see this movie!
getting drowned is one of mine fears. i once freaked out my friends by talking how must it feel... you hold your breath for as long as you can but there is moment when you're still concious but you feel your chest is about to explode so you (or your body) make the decision to breath with water. it seems to me you're concious for a while after that, with lungs full of water. yikes.
as for horrors , i higly recommend
dead end. before i had watched it, i expected it be silly evil dead/brain dead kind of movie. so i was even more scared when it turned out to be non-f/x old school type of horror with an pretty clever plot hidden undearneath what is going on in the main lights. (i am not gonna say more as i hope some of you will watch it). plus, it was really scary. the whole vibe was heavy (even though there are some trulely hilarious moments) plus it had some heart-stopping moments (and a few cliche scenes, but hey, it's a low budget horror movie).
i also feel 28days after was underrated, i really liked how this film was made from technical point of view, how anger was the zombie virus etc. plus, the ending was brilliant! not the last scene which seemed attached cause one of the producers wanted a happy end, but the last 10 (or so, it's been a while) minutes of the movie. at one point there was a big change in how camera was working, music got lauder, and it all turned into a very stylish dance macabre. has anyone noticed that? to me, it was one of the coolest things about that movie.
it was probably the scariest movie i ever saw, and it's probably gonna stay this way as i watched for the only time when i was about 11 (i haven't watched it since, so it may actually suck, but it surely had given me creeps many days after i watched the movie). a mysterious force who wears a clown costume and kills kids at my age, that was too much for me at the time. in this movie, before clown kills someone, this persons notices something strange (like a photo winking at this person). i was affraid this is going happen to me - i was affraid of looking through the window cause i thought i will see clown's face there. i was scared of looking at pictures of my family. for good few days i was scared of everything. however, the ending totally sucked! oh boy, it was bad! this mysterious, terryfing force materalized it self in a shape of a giant spider! how can a giant spider be more scary then a clown killing kids.. when you know this creature is million times scariers than a real clown would be? how?
also, when i watched casino at the age of 13/14 i was absolutely shocked about the scene in which two brothers are beaten nearly-to-death with baseball bats and than burried alive. it blew my mind, i was thinking what i would do in this scenario (helplessly looking at your brother getting beat and than buried, only to join him a few moments later...)
sad thing is, i watched this movie yesterday. i noticed those two are not beaten very heavily and blood is obviously fake... and i felt nothing. i'm affraid it means i was a better as a human being 10 years ago.
