Funny Games, the one with Naomi Watts, is a similar psychological thriller. You'll need a tranquilizer after watching those two movies!

Open Water
When a Stranger Calls
Cape Fear
Fatal Attraction

I cannot remember the name, but it was a terrifyingly true story about a young couple who just got engaged, go to a rural cabin, and are stalked/terrorized by 3 people. The scariest movie I have ever seen.

Yeah, but it's Swedish. The American versions are usually much better, including in this instance.


Not the PP. Actually, I enjoyed the Swedish version, "Let the Right One In," more. Mostly because of the great cinematography. The Swedish location made the movie feel so cold and stark. I also think that the vampire love story, while scary, was more bittersweet because of the two actor's screen chemistry.

Yes! The atmosphere of the original is amazing. It definitely made me feel cold. And the kids who play the leads are just fantastic. It definitely beats the American remake.

I was seriously laughing when I saw Mama at the theater. Total waste of time and not worth it.


If only The Conjuring was available...saw it twice and STILL screamed several times second time around lol. It was seriously good.
