If you're talking about what I think you are, that's just how the film is shot.
It put me off for the first five minutes or so, but I ended up kinda liking the effect.

I think Alien and the Thing strive to make you tense more than scared. I guess it is a fine line but that is how i feel.

I usually watch a lot of horror movies, but its ramped up since its been the season of scaring. My current obsession is handcam/selfshot or scare-umentary styles. I just watched Megan Is Missing on netflix instantstream tonight. Didn't hate it, but I'd assume many in the thread would have problems with the acting or slow development. Just seemed really plausible to me, which always makes things scarier.
On remakes, my favorite is The Hills Have Eyes. Not my favorite horror movie, but if someone asks me to show them a scary movie? I pick this one. The first half will unsettle just about anybody.
And finally a recommendation! I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread, but the scare-umentary The Poughkeepsie Tapes really did it for me. The found footage is so creepy, and its broken up by discussion on the tapes and the killer and his victims. The trailer really doesn't do it justice. If you want to read the synopsis on wiki, feel free. But if you're at all interested, don't read past the name Cheryl Dempsey.

Even taken as a film, it's still genuinely hilarious. The guy who plays Victor Martin is awesome.
Homemade cherry popsicles!
Welcome to the world on this side.
Three, in fact. The Omen, The Good Son, and The Orphan. As you can guess, they are all pretty similar.
The Good Son is the story of a young boy, Elijah Wood, who is sent to live with his relatives while his dad is away on business. There he meets his cousin, played by Macaulay Culkin, who is not the perfect little angel his parents think of him as.
The Orphan is my favorite of the three, but that may just be because it is the newest and I haven't seen it a dozen times.A family adopts an abused girl from Russia who has many strange quirks and is far more intelligent than she should be.
oh dang
well now I feel silly for sitting through it. Enjoying it, even!
First thing I looked up when I was watching it said that it was intentional so I just went with it
Oh pissing blimey, there's JAM coming out of the walls! - Yatzhee reviewing Amnesia.
Definitely gonna watch it.

Yeah, I was 15 when it came out I think. It's a brilliant thriller.
*plop*
Just dusted my copy off for my yearly watch.
My mother almost broke her arm in the sequel.
She had her arm wrapped around her chair arm in some odd fashion when the velociraptors were digging into the shed. The family is about the escape the other side and the smartass raptor sticks his head in and everyone screamed really fucking loud and my mom jumped in her seat still latched to her chair.
I'm depressed Jurassic Park 3 is like a cartoon episode of itself. I hated it since I was little. Fuck that piece of bile.
So many awesome characters!
Also, if it wasn't for TV Tropes I never would've known that Kreeg was

Yeah, this is the same reaction I got from Trick r Treat as well.
Not scary at all, but highly entertaining! Kind of like Evil Dead 2 or Army of Darkness

It's more freaky when you realize that it's a real person walking down the stairs like that. God damn it, the back aint suppose to bend like that!
It was pretty good. It's basically a zombie movie where the zombies can talk.
It's good. I never saw the original Romero film and can't say how the remake compares, but it's enjoyable as one of those zombie movies that don't actually have real zombies, like 28 Days Later.
Word of warning: Don't watch the trailer. It gives away far too much. The whole point of the movie is the descent and the trailer pretty much shows you the entire movie in the minute and a half. The movie is told through the home videos of a family. Slowly but surely, you begin to see the two children may hide a darker side than their parents are willing to admit.
The best scene (Serious spoilers inside)
The dad goes upstairs and sees them playing and watching some cartoon on their little TV. Short conversation to display the happiness/normalness and he goes downstairs. He goes back upstairs to find the window open and the TV playing an all too familiar clip of blurry gore. Something is wrong. He goes to their play fort in the backyard, which had previously been "off limits to parents." Inside, he finds the place covered with dead things and satanic/horrific drawings. The friend is tied to a table and the kids have begun eating him.
Not only are the events tense, but the radical change in the children really sells it. Was not expecting the change back to be so sudden or shocking. Then the climax of the movie follows and shit gets real.
I can so totally do that. I'm such a contortionist, and every morning of military PT, I get stares or make the Captain wanna puke because I'm doing something gross yet I can't feel a thing.
Kick up to my head like in the movies, pull my arms so far over my head that I can make my left elbow touch my right shoulder, if my hands were cuffed behind me I could get them over my head and in front of me and not feel a thing and then choke a bitch.
