I don't like film with like mutated people out in the middle of nowhere.

I just don't like it.

The Exorcist, Director's Cut.

Watched it when I was 17, haven't watched it the whole way through again.

Not a chance. No way.

The Shining. And the Japanese original of The Ring, gave me the fear that one did.

The Exorcist and the Shining definitely, but Jacobs Ladder for psychological affect

Anyone seen the Spanish film 'The Orphanage'? That was a creepy one.

Anyone seen the Spanish film 'The Orphanage'? That was a creepy one.

There was a weird Spanish film were this man goes into a telephone box in a plaza in a city. He makes his call but finds that he can't open the door. People outside try to open it but to no avail. After about half an hour a small lorry appears,hoists the telephone box aboard, and drives away. About fifteen minutes later, with the man banging on the glass, he sees another lorry overtaking him with a women also in a phone box screaming, and then their eyes meet for a brief second in horror.
The film ends with the lorry driving through hills until it comes to a big cavern. It drives in and the man sees rows and rows of telephone boxes stretching as far as he can see, some with people in but also some with skeletons.
Don't know if it was supposed to make some psychological point about alienation but it gave me shivers.
