Okay so I was watching the 30 best horror films on Bravo. And the number one was Hostel? Saw was in there three times??? What was up with that? And I understand some classics, but they had the nerve to put in the Grudge. Which is okay but the more I see it the more I think it was actually done poorly. Especially the second one, doesnt gain any progress in the overall storyline.
Here is the question
Hostel(which is coming out with a Hostel 2 by the way) do you think that deserves to be number one? If not, then what horror movie?

I'm a horror movie fanatic, and there are so many it's hard to choose. I'd put AUDITION; THE EYE; THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE; THE SHINING (the original); and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (as the reigning grandfather of all brain-eating zombie flicks) right up near the top, but there are just soooooo many worth watching again...and again...and again...

Hostel is not even horror, its a film which for the first hour is completely void of anything. The next half is plain torture which was done in many other films before it. Check out an Asian film called Guinea Pig, it makes Hostel look like a Nickelodeon film. The acting in Hostel is awful by every single person in there, some of the worst makeup effects too especially on the Japanese girl.
There are many films which would make number 1 for various reasons. For classic horror then you would have to pick one of the Universal Horror films from the 30s. For genre busting Horror then I would choose "Night of the Living Dead" which spawned the Dead Trilogy by Romero. On the otherhand you could go for psychological horror which would be The Exorcist.
My personal favourite would be: John Carpenters The Thing

Try vincent prices "the house on the hill" also some other real classics "whatever happened to baby jane", Play Misty for me" and one of my old time faves "Pscho" the original version. A classic means it's been around awhile even the movies from the seventies aren't real classics

hostel was good in its own way as most modern horror films are, but the classics that aren't as gory and bloody left so much to the imagination that the viewer usually made the scene worse in their mind

#1 Poltergeist
#2 What Lies Beneath

They were clearly gearing it to a younger crowd.

GOOD POINT, I WOULD VOTE FOR A CLASSIC BECAUSE ANY THING NEW WILL BE MODERN WHEN FRANKENSTEIN,KING KONG WERE EXTRAORDINARY AT A TIME OF NO INTERNET,A/C,MODERN CARS OR EVEN TV'S AND YOU GOT TO GO TO A "SHOW" AND SEE A GIANT TERRIFYING APE MOVING ON SCREEN WITH SOUND AND TEETH...NOW WHO CAN BEAT THAT WITH MORE BLOOD & GUTS.....AND BESIDES THINK OF THE EXCELLENT MOVIES THAT WILL BE CREATED IN THE FUTURE COMPARE THAT TO 1980 A FEW YEARS BEFORE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK,ET,HOMEALONE,TITANIC, & HARRY POTTER,RETURN OF THE JEDI,LET ALONE THE STAR WARS PREQUELS TO NAME A FEW....GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!
