ITT we determine the actual scariest movie
my vote is the Ring but that's boring so name other ones. they dont even have to be particularly good movies, just scary

Hereditary was actually really fucking good, the last 3rd of the movie is kino horror.
>anybody who disagrees is a fucking retard and probably likes Saw movies
The best horror movie of all time is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Is that Greta?
hereditary is one of those polarizing ones.
it is exceptionally kino for a horror movie, but did you find it that scary?
I’m adjusting for the time it came out. When that movie was released, no one had seen anything like it. It’s still jarring. No special effects or anything, just pure horror at its finest.
fair enough, it was revolutionary. What did you guys think of REC, i think it deserves a mention just for that final scene
In that case, the Exorcist has got to be #1. I saw it when I was like 10 or 11 in the early 90s and it fucked me up pretty bad.
It didn't age well though since the special effects are really shit by today's standards.
Jacob's Ladder
Is Rec the one that is also Quarentine, or at least one was a remake of the other I think. I didn't see Rec but did watch Quarentine and while it was good for a list footage horror, it fell short of the first Paranormal Activity for me
>that scene when the woman gets dragged out of bed was off the charts freaky for me
I enjoyed REC. That gif is from Quarantine though.
Quarantine is the crappy remake
I still think TCM is ahead of The Exorcist
I agree. The part where the mom is in the corner was terrifying.
not scary
Hereditary for me
Ending of sleepaway camp, first viewing is up there
that is the one, i havent actually seen quarantine though. I agree PA was creepy as fuck, the way she stood over him was the eeriest shit
my bad, just picked a gif off google
Is Rec worth watching if I've already seen Quarentine? What's the difference? Subtitles or something?
I really enjoyed Hereditary. It was very well done. Not too over the top, just right
Or when the boy who cried all the time wakes up in the middle of the night and his Mom is silently crawling up the walls in his bedroom in the background.
I just watched it a 2nd time a couple weeks ago and that scene held up 100% as far as horror factor
Fuck you to the faggot that voted for b tier tcm. Also, you should have made this poll after there were more recommendations
Apparently you can’t truly appreciate horror if you can’t appreciate TCM.
Any recommendations for kino horror that hasn't yet been mentioned but is on Amazon or Jewflix right now?
i agree we need more recs first. For asian horror Ju-On, Shutter, Dark Water, Tale of two Sisters, Kairo, Noroi are all pretty good
Have you checked out Hell House LLC? It actually really underrated for a found footage horror movie. It has a couple solid moments and is on Amazon right now
Make new list
>tfw found footage general no longer exists
Those were comfy threads to browse on this board
I did, I loved that one. There was another movie kind of like it about haunted houses, i forget the name. Wasn't quite as good
With what? We need more recs first, and you can go ahead and leave The Witch right the fuck off the poll since nobody can understand what the fuck anybody is saying
There is no "scariest" movie.
After you get over the initial phase of seeing Horror movies, they no longer are scary. Child's Play is as "scary" as Signs to a child.
And, no, I'm not saying you have to be intelligent to get this, they just no longer are scary once you've seen enough Horror movies.
my vote
this is also acceptable
Can’t you just enjoy things? Christ
Probably Rec
Nobody has the balls to do a truly scary movie, that's not good business
I mean yeah they're not technically actually scary, theyre just movies. But some movies get to you a bit more than others, the images might linger in your mind and you dream about them and stuff.
Friday the 13th movies were the scariest thing I ever saw at 8.
Pulp Fiction's rape scene was the scariest thing I ever saw at 13.
The Blair Witch Project was the scariest thing I ever saw at 15.
Now it's probably something like Hypernormalization.
ring got a lot less scary when i realized sadako made my peepee hard
Imagine being scared of rape at the age of 13. Who hurt you
I'd let her scare all the shit out of me that I ever shat just to smell her wet pussy hair.
>thinking a man raping another man in a basement under the threat of death isn't scary
What was it like to grow up in your household, friend?
hereditary is the only movie that legit upset me since I watched the exorcist as a child
starts very slow, but damn the ending is horror kino
>Nobody has the balls to do a truly scary movie, that's not good business
what do you mean? youd think some indie filmmakers would do it
anyone like pic related?
I vote for Eyes Wide Shut and Rosemary's Baby. I think true horror isn't monsters and crazy maniacs, I think it's rich powerful New York Jews who control the world and worship Satan.
The Grifter.
Agreed on Blair Witch. I was 19 when I saw it and remember there being some controversy as to whether it was real or not (before mainstream internet was everywhere) and I think it was the first found footage movie I had seen. The scene where the tent starts getting beat on and the kid standing in the corner at the end had me damn near pissing myself. I watched it again a few days ago and realize now that it wasn't that good and the acting was pretty shitty as well
Pretty good actually. Went to private schools and everything. Never been scared of a rape scene, mainly because as a man, no one has ever attempted to rape me and because I didn’t grow up around scumbags or in a shitty household.
Where can I see this?
Those two scenes were exactly what scared the shit out of me as a kid. I remember leaving after that final shot feeling a weird uneasiness that I hadn't felt since I was much younger. And you're right, it doesn't really hold up now, especially when you're a lot older and have lived through real life.
The Ritual and Apostle are unironically good.
>trying to flex on Yea Forums
Nice LARP, sonny
Why are zombie movies so kino and comfy
Pls explain to me what I just watched
I'm on the mood for some horror kino
any recommendations? no shit like lake mungo tho
Have you read the recommendations in the fucking thread that your question is about?
Nah, I flex on /pol/ usually, not Yea Forums
Why don't that bitch smile, I bet she'd be a lot happier if she did?
this one makes me not want to travel
I just streamed it on putlocker/123 but it might be on Netflix
If you guys like ayylmaos then pic related and 4th kind are pretty good
this looks interesting, what do you like about it?
Hostel. Idk, the concept of innocent students who just want to have take a break but instead got tortured to death feels too personal for me
Anyone who went to a private school is soft as butter. If someone wanted to rape you they would have by now but you're too fucking ugly obviously.
my cousins made me watch the blair witch project when i was like 10 and i was fine until the basement scene which freaked me the fuck out. I also remember a vivid dream I had when I was around the same age and watched Candyman. I was in the gross bathroom from the movie and just remember thinking bees were all over me in real life. Currently re watching V/H/S 2 for the first time since it came out.
Pretty sure you wanted to reply to that other dickhead. I went to public school with the rest of the poorfags.
I was once walking home long after the tubes stopped running (I was living in londonistan at the time) and a dishevelled crazy-looking woman in her late twenties asked me if I wanted a good time. I laughed in her face.
I know she was human trash, but sometimes, I like to tug my todger to the fantasy that I took her home, ran a bath for her and gave her a cup of soup, then we cuddled.
I'm a bit of a sicko.
Hostel 1 is so gorey, but balances it out with other aspects of horror so well, that once the action calms down toward the last quarter of the movie, the horror has become existential in nature.
Yeah my bad, fuck that guy though. Private school pussies get their asses kicked.
Must all be zoomers or millenials on here, shit suggestions (a few good ones as well). Fear is best amplified by imagination. For pure "fear" of seeing someone suffer....Martyrs. For "fear" of hell and eternal damnation....The House that Jack Built. For "true fear" try growing up as a kid in the 80's, being at an airshow on a SAC base when a volcano erupts and those bombers start a mass MITO departure (and you don't find out what has happened for another half hour). In that vein, use your imagination and watch Threads, The Day After and Testament.
Martyrs is my all time favorite movie but I dont consider it scary. That movie to me is about empathy and acceptance.
HTJB I see more as a comedy.
Threads though is disturbing as fuck, i will check those other two
Just started a free trial on cinemax so I can drink whisky, make jiffy pop, smoke weed, and watch the 4th kind.
Thanks for the rec user. You have made life worth living for the next couple hours or so
I'm going to vote Eden Lake. There is nothing supernatural, so nothing which takes a step from reality at all. In fact I live less than a mile from a town where a similar event actually occurred, so extra points for reality. Also, the whole movie is pretty naturalistic and feels like a telling of actual events, so the major scene where a kid gets burnt alive feels seriously fucking real, despite it mostly happening off screen.
I do find the end of Martyrs "scary", in the sense that I want to know what she told them about what lies "beyond".
Sinister is the scariest movie I've ever seen, because the super 8 "footage" is too damn real.
youtube.com
Aterrados was legit scary
The footage saved that movie. Even when it goes full retard into invisible ghost kids running around the dining room...
enjoy m8
>In fact I live less than a mile from a town where a similar event actually occurred
Quick rundown?
I can't watch horror movies bros
Everytime I watch a horror movie or read a scary story I get scared at night and feel like something is going to jump out at me if I move or if I get up to piss and open my bedroom door I'm expecting something to be waiting for me on the other side, this can last for weeks, am I retarded
>Hereditary
I really enjoyed the background images that you would actually miss if you didn't focus on them. I kept pointing out stuff to my girlfriend and then when she noticed it she would scream. Even at the funeral when the guy is smiling in the background or in the attic with the naked people in the shadows. It was very well done.
>found footage
I absolutely hate this genre. It's too frustrating and makes me appreciate actual camera work.
>Blair Witch
I watched it when I was 12 and everybody at school was talking about how it was real and my older cousin said it wasn't real but they didn't tell the film makers that they had hired people to pretend to be the Witch and follow them around in the forest so they actually thought they were dying and in danger.
>Only movie to upset me
I agree with Hereditary actually upsetting me slightly and the only recent movies to do the same thing were The Strangers and the one where the people go spelunking in some caves and they are filled with monsters. These two only really scared me because they seemed plausible to me, like holy shit some crazy people could just come into my house and fuck me right up. Home invasion is probably the scariest genre for me.
>What did you guys think of REC
fucking top tier great
Not scary but kino
Its on shitflix
Easily in top 5 scariest horrors I've seen and unironically gave me nightmares
Watch it now and post in this thread if I'm the only one
Just started it, hope it's good
>I do find the end of Martyrs "scary", in the sense that I want to know what she told them about what lies "beyond".
I like to pretend that Martyrs and Event Horizon both take place in the Warhammer 40k universe.
Eden lake is shit, and you’re lying
You posted a shitty pic, the full title is Aterrados , I think got translated to Terrified
I just watched REC and it was pretty great. I have seen a fair share of horror movies and will probably watch one of the film's posted in this thread tonight. Otherwise I fap.
The ring for me, saw it in theaters and was pretty spooked. Saw hereditary at home didn't find it scary.
My favourite horror movie is unironicaly The Ring.
I'm not sure it's the scariest but it's the best, and way way better than it has any right to be.
holy fuck it didnt take long to get crazy
Are you all children or something? I can't believe the absolutely childish picks here. Watch Funny Games or Gaspar Noe, christ.
>No Shining
The Shining is the greatest horror movie imo. TCM is a close second though. Man TCM is fucking awesome. I just watched it for the first time a few years ago. Age is irrelevant. Movie is fucking scary.
Nobody is discussing the greatest. Are you even capable of reading the OP?
No movie or book is actually scary, if you're trying to out-tryhard us. You just look like a cringe kid doing so.
Ive seen most of both Haneke and Noe's movies and none of them are even slightly scary
Greatest Horror movie = scariest t b h
A film is only as scary as you are invested in the characters and willing to generate secondary belief for yourself.
The Shining never gets old. Chilling movie
>the guy is smiling in the background
Missed that bit, anything else to look out for? I enjoyed hereditary, though it had some stupid moments like the doormat, the acting when the husband gets lit on fire. The scariest moment for me was the sister's death. It was just too plausible when thinking back to my teenage days.
>people go spelunking in some caves and they are filled with monsters
The Descent?
Verbinski's The Ring isn't the scariest but it's 100% the most kino horror movie. Roar is the scariest.
Horror isn't supposed to be scary.
>lake mungo
What a terrible film.
That bit got me. There were more than a couple times in weeks after I saw it that I was in a dark room, and thoughts of that scene made the hair on my neck stand up.
I like 'eerie' movies and I find them the scariest. Movies where only subtle supernatural things are happening, if they're happening at all. And movies where there is a 'hidden' danger masquerading as something benign or friendly. Maybe when the danger is hidden in plain sight and staring you in the face.
These stories are typically not classified as horror but thriller or maybe gothic fiction.
Some examples of eerie movies are Lake Mungo, Don't Look Now, and stuff like Spoorloos where there is nothing supernatural.
lmao
>Due to the large number of untrained animals brought on-set, over 70 people are believed to have been injured during the production of Roar. Because of this, the attacks from the big cats used in the film resulted in real blood appearing in the final cut. It has been described as "the most dangerous film ever made".[16]
Marshall was bitten through the hand on the first day when he interacted with male lions during a fight scene, and doctors feared he might lose his arm.[10][20] He came within twelve hours of a coma after he was diagnosed with blood poisoning.[10] Marshall was also attacked so many times that he was also eventually diagnosed with gangrene.[8] In another incident, Marshall was clawed by a cheetah.[13] It took several years for him to recover from his injuries.[25] Griffith had to receive 50 stitches and undergo facial reconstruction. It was feared she would lose an eye, though she recovered and was not disfigured.[4][5] Hedren received scalp wounds and required 38 stitches.[18] Hedren also received a fractured leg and a broken hand after a five-ton elephant named Tembo bucked her off its back, which happened a few days after the elephant also tossed its trainer, Patricia Barbeau, into a tree, breaking her shoulder.[26][20] John Marshall was jumped on and bitten on the back of his head by one of the lions, and required 56 stitches.[12] In a 2015 interview, he believed the number of people injured to be much larger and proposed it was over 100.[4] Jerry Marshall's foot was bitten by a lion while he was in a cage on-set, and had to spend a month in the hospital.[20]
>expected
spooky ghost story
>got
a thot with a conscience
fuck that film
>probably likes Saw movies
The Saw franchise is good you fucking zoomer pig.
Hmm, Sleepaway Camp, interesting... I laughed so fucking hard at that ending, but I did have a couple skin-crawly moments thinking back on it later.
A Dark Song was honestly pretty scary. That scene with a demon thing sitting in the armchair was fuckin disturbing
Sinister is the scariest movie ever made (thus far). The music, and atmosphere that is created by the home footage is near perfect.
>It has been described as "the most dangerous film ever made".[16]
And I'm sure there are movies with higher body counts
Hereditary was certainly upsetting and apparently moreso to women with the "don't want to end up like my crazy mother" angle. Has there been an equivalent for men? I'm not even sure what it would look like.
This. It's actually too scary for a major release film. The home video sequences are too scary for a studio release film, and would maybe even get take down from a liveleak if they were real.
The Fly was pretty creepy for me. I often thought about it afterwards and how bleak and sad it is that he got fucked over by something so insignificant and there was nothing he could do to fix it.
Saw 1 is, maybe 2
>He came within twelve hours of a coma after he was diagnosed with blood poisoning
kek, what a retarded thing to say
Try 'Coming Soon', guys.
One of Thai horror kino on my lists.
Also, 'Gonjiam'. New Korean movie.
Shit is good.
It started great but the second half the movie started to turn into garbage only to get progressively worse with passing second.
Nah, arrogant scientists deserve the absolute worst.
looks like a normal kpop whore desu
>The sister's death
I didn't think that would actually happen and it caught me off guard like crazy. It happens so soon in the movie and I figured we would be following her experiences for the entire thing.
>Didn't notice the guy smiling
On Netflix the icon for the movie is a guy's smiling face (At least it was on my Smart TV but using my computer I can't find that thumbnail) so it really freaked me out when it happened. I found a couple websites with missable moments highlighted.
>The Shining
>Dude dad is crazy and trying to kill us and mom looks like a weird alien lady
I never thought it was scary as a kid and was dissappointed.
It had potential but got shit.
It becomes shit, but no other horror film reach the level of its first 2/3s. It is a masterpiece by virtue of how good it is at its peak.
Did you like The Borderlands?
quite literally haunts me to this day
hope you all enjoyed yesterday's episode of me being very uncomfortable!
Not that guy, but this is a great movie.
AM1200 is one of the best "Lovecraftian" movies. It's a short film and is online. Worth your 40 minutes.
>Ending of sleepaway camp
Pretty good, but the aunt was more unsettling imo
big difference, subtites, if we tell you the difference is spoils everything, and it's worth watching to see #2, which starts at the instant #1 ends and takes the whole thing up a notch with the f irst person camera stuff
>The Strangers
One of the inspirations for that was The Keddie murders
en.wikipedia.org
I enjoyed Hush, the deaf viewpoint was a good touch and had my noggin joggin about what a massive disadvantage it is.
Thanks, will give it a go tomorrow.
Pascal would say act like you're Truman, if it's real you're fine and worst case scenario you led a blameless life for no good reason.
literally caused schizophrenia and paranoia in a lot of people, also thats not what the wall looked like
>Watching Hush with girlfriend
>Go to the washroom quickly because nothing is happening
>Run back into room and as I glance at the TV I see the neighbour get shot with the arrow and banging on the glass door. That actually made me feel super fucked up because I wasn't expecting it and I keep thinking about it every now and again.
The Ring is a better movie but Pulse is scarier
Yeah, Kairo has a very unsettling vibe. Shame about the special effects at the end.
Jagten
That 2002 Hong Kong movie The Eye had some good jump scares when watched at a high volume. You also gotta scare yourself.
Good film and rage-inducing but not horror.
Scare yourself by watching it at a high volume, in the dark, alone.
I miss it every day senpai
iin the dark alone watching the TCM. I'm also a pussy when it comes to horror, will i enjoy it?
Anyone seen Gaspar Noe's new movie Climax? That shit was unsettling. Made me nauseous, non as bad as Irreversible but fuck
We need to bring back /ffg/ for October.
I just downloaded Hell House LLC 3
Baste
i remember that one, weird fucking visuals
pretend i'm there with you
Can't watch Toni collettes ugly fucking face, it's too distracting.
The Descent is my favorite horror.
idk but where can i watch this? world of kanako is dope
That deaf gimmick could've been something. It was scripted in a way that the villain wouldn't kill her when he had the chance so she would be able to survive. Did you notice that he died INSTANTLY by being penetrated in the neck with a corkscrew? It should take at least 5 minutes for a person to bleed to death with that kind of injury.
What the FUCK was her problem?
>Watching Hell House 3
h8 claire
There's a third hell house?
lol funny games anyone who isnt 14 knows the seventh continent is haneke's scariest
This scene of a woman wearing creepy makeup and black sclera contacts chanting things in an obscure language in front of the camera was creepy but don't say Gonjiam was not the same as any other found footage film that everyone and their dad has seen.
finished the movie. Holy fucking shit everybody should watch this one, it's insane.
Yeah its a true horror
Saw this and it seemed pretty meh. Don't know what was supposed to be so scary about it, it was only a slightly above-average ghost film.
I have an avistaz account
where did you watch it? can't find a torrent
zoom zoom little zoomer
>Has there been an equivalent for men? I'm not even sure what it would look like.
Jacob's Ladder
Which one is that?
this movie is actually hilarious
At least post the jap version pleb
How can horror films be scary to anyone who isn't a kid anyway?
Primal imagery
we can tell.
>not the superior korean version
House That Jack Built didn’t truly scare me but definitely made me ‘anxious’ in a way. Especially the sequence where Jack explains his fascination with the negatives of photos. The ending sequence has me really drawn in. I need to check out more Lars Von Trier films.
Scariest/most unnerving movies I've ever seen:
Images
The Vanishing (never saw the remake)
The Haunting (again, never saw the remake)
The Shining
Dead of Night
Magic
this isn't really scary as so much as it is, shocking and disturbing.
i'm a pussy and i get terrified but i genuinely was thrilled by the movie because of how awesome it was.
its fucking amazingly shot.
so i wouldn't call it the incredibly unnerving as so much as i would call it badass, and disturbing. it's still kino nonetheless.
Hereditary is probably the best thing ive seen in a while. Its not neccesarily scary I guess but it was really well made and it did a lot of things right. Lake mungo is pretty good too depending on your tastes. I showed it to my wife and told her it was all real and she lost her shit. Grave encounters is also a decent gem. The plot isnt the greatest or most original thing but they did a good job with it with the budget they had.
>that one ringu JAV
I think the problem with Paranormal Activity was that to get the full story you need to watch like 4 movies of mostly boring found footage material. I liked them, though.
Good as far as classic scary movies go, but it's not really scary at all. It's just a well made movie with a spooky aesthetic.
there was a japanese movie people posted all the time.
the scene was a female ghost climbs over a chair or table or something and sort of stumbles over it and runs after the protagonist. it looks very strange, does anyone know what im talking about?
i watched the new anabelle tonight and it had its moments. but the end was overkill and was annoying at that point.
>Scrolling through Netflix looking for something scary
Descriptions:
>A haunting presence in their new house...
>A possessed child....
>Something spooky in this old house is...
>An evil presence after moving into a new house.....
>Found footage of an evil presence.....
Why do horror movies fucking suck so hard? Why is it I can only find 1 or 2 decent movies after looking at 20 that are all 'supernatural' type movies? I just want actual demons or killers attacking people. I don't want a movie where furniture starts moving in their house. The Shining was not scary, the Amittyville Horror was not scary.
I don't get scared anymore but anytime I rewatch The Shining I still look away from the screen when the rotten old lady rises out of the tub.
Poughkeepsie Tapes
Nah, the problem with the PA series was that it explained too much. I don't blame them for wanting to cash in with endless sequels though, but it always cheapens the mystery.
>"Ackchooally Katie's grandmother was part of a cult worshipping a demon that wanted to make him physically manifest in our world in a ridiculously convoluted scheme which is why Katie is haunted in the first film"
The one with the spics was fun though
>Horror isn't supposed to be scary.
i just couldnt get over the "im scared for my life but i still keep filming for some reason".
i know that it has to be like that, otherwise there would be no movie, but it completely ruined my immersion.
>i just couldnt get over the "im scared for my life but i still keep filming for some reason".
Yeah, Diary of the Dead is the worst one for that, even if the MC is "supposed" to be a film obsessed autist
eli roth just put out haunt and it was watchable and gory.
>Must all be zoomers or millenials on here, shit suggestions
I was thinking close the same thing.
Zoomers not only have shit taste, but they are also confident in their shit taste and don't bother seeking out beneath-surface-level content for a subject unless they are told what to consume next.
Kairo/pulse
Martyrs is a Drama/Romance movie you FUCKING PLEB
i was trying to think of the name of this movie. fucking shit movie.
Filtered.
The wailing was more creepy than scary but the climax thought scared the fuck out of me.
Look at an /x/ story.
It has to feel real. You have to feel helpless. The monster has to be deadly, and capable of feats you would not have expected.
Loneliness and isolation; narrow brushes with death; subversion of your very sanity.
How do people feel about slow burn bone chillers?
>I just want actual demons or killers attacking people
Jeepers Creepers my man.
I feel like its pretty sad that this was the best way you could come up with to post this meme
Does The Number 23 count?
What about The Possession?
i'd rather watch lord of the rings or some other sci-fi thing.
fuck you. paranormal activity was great.
Yes. It only needed some more overt cosmic horror touches in it to be an even better mastapiece.
Ghosts and hauntings are just the thing right now, before that it was found footage/torture porn and before that it was scream copycats, and so on.
scary movies? how old are you?
IDK but its definitely not IT. 3 fucking hours about an evil clown who kills people. Ridiculous
watching it for the ending, but they really could have done with some more camera stabilization. i mean i get
>muh realism
but damn i was nauseous as fuck throughout the majority of the movie. also i watched the english dub which was fucking TERRIBLE
this is the only movie that gives me nightmares
t.
More like almost 6 hours when you add them together.
I watched that last night. Good enough for me.
I watched it for the first time last week and was incredibly impressed by it. Thought the hype would have ruined it for me but this movie deserves all the praise. The beginning with flashes of mutilated corpses and the radio blaring news stories of extreme violence/saturn in retrograde sets the tone perfectly
Loved that one, great ff and good scares.
Brilliant. There were a few moments in there that actually shit me up. The second is just as good, in my opinion. The third isn't scary at all but - and I may be alone in this - is comfy as fuck and the wife is a total qt.
I don't really count sequels as one thing. I can watch 6 hours of Michael Myers killing people. But only if its spread out into 1-1.5 hour chunks. A 3 hour Michael Myers jerk off session would get old really fast, amd thats what happened with IT 2, and the first one as well. Its just not a concept that deserves a huge plot and it overstays its welcome after an hour and a half.
wew
Not anymore, no
>Apostle
I went into this blind and fucking loved it. It felt like it fell apart a little in the latter half of the film but it had some good fucking vibes in it.
Found footage is the worst sub-genre of horror because it's almost never believable, partly because the actors are almost always terrible.
Was pleasantly surprised by this, actually. Something about it felt a little more authentic than the usual found footage tripe.
You couldn't call Kill List a horror by any means but it has a really cool atmosphere and a top tier bromance.
Fuck you and anyone else who ever recommends The 4th Kind. That is the worst acted and most unbelievable-but-presented-to-be-believable piece of shit I've seen since The fucking Poughkeepsie Tapes; and for that matter fuck any retard who praises that shite, either.
>this one makes me not want to travel
Shit, spend an afternoon on theync.com and you'll never travel again.
You're lucky is what you are. I've been trying to get that feeling back since I was a kid.
Signs is unironically the scariest movie I've ever seen
t. 1993 child
Not horror but this left me feeling far worse than any horror film ever has.
>Grave Encounters
For how bad the acting is and how basic the storyline I actually loved both of these.
Threads. It's absolutely terrifying. There is absolutely no hope and nothing could be done by anyone we see to stop it.
>The Vanishing
Excellent taste
Alien, Saw (just the first one), From Beyond, Frenzy, The Thing (John Carpenter version), Wishmaster, Phantasm.
Would you yourself consider it a horror, out of interest?
What does Yea Forums think about Session 9? It's certainly not the scariest, I'm just curious to know what you(se) thought.
I can say it's an ok to good movie but why the fuck did they cast those ugly ass kids as the children? the female is painful to look at and I honestly thought the male had been adopted because he looks indian
and anyway Suspiria 2018 plays on very similar themes but is a much better movie
Ghostwatch, bar the crap child acting
The Marvel Cinematic Universe depicts the downfall of society's standards.
Also forgot to mention Freaks. Banned in the EU I believe. Gooble gobble gooble gobble one of us one of us. We accept her we accept her one of us one of us.
I hope people aren't too bored by another episode of me picking at my scabs in the bathroom when I should be working.
I liked it but my problems with it were:
>More unnerving and unsettling than scary
>Abrahamic demon means God is real, therefore it's not that scary in the bigger picture
come the fuck on, freaks is a good movie but by today's standard no one can find it scary, and probably by 50 years ago's standards too
back then it was banned because people were much less savvy and found disturbing seeing a bunch of cripples crawling in mud
The exorcist no question
The Ring
The Haunting of Hill House
The Grudge japan
The only media that has ever scared me other than video game P.T. And various other vidya
>banned in the EU
No it isn't, it came on TV a while ago with a rating of 12+
Watching the first NoES was the first ultimate terror experience in my life (considering I was, like, about 3yo?). The whole demented atmosphere of nightmarish dreams made me feel haunted by FK for literal months after I watched it. Of course as the series went on it evolved into self-aware parody of itself but still kept the strong horror aspect and imo that's exactly what makes it so great.
I don't know how you can be afraid of little girl and Japanese ghost movies. They're all so fucking unintimidating and I constantly feel like I could simply push the monsters away and continue my normal routine.
For me it was Hereditary (had trouble sleeping which hasn't happened in forever) and Blair Witch Project. I watched it after it was all revealed as fake but even still, what a freaky movie.
I didn't say it scared ME, OP asked for horror movies and Freaks was considered one.
When I was really little, the original Jack the Giant Killer scared me so bad I couldn't watch it all the way through for a long time. This actually might be the most terrified I've ever been watching a movie. There was also an Audrey Hepburn movie called Wait Until Dark which scared me quite a bit, but not so much that I couldn't finish it.
Alien scared the shit out of me when I was an older kid and even as a teenager. So much darkness and disorientation, a lot of time to build up suspense, very strong feeling of isolation. I think it's underrated as a horror film.
When I got out of Seven it was late at night and all these strangers were just standing around together outside the theater, not talking to each other, just not wanting to be alone. Not sure I would call it scary but it sure was something.
Now that I have a kid the most frightened I've been while watching a movie in the past several years was Prisoners.
But it's not scary at all. It's almost ridiculously bad.
Must have been unbanned then. Or it was never banned to begin with and my information source was wrong.
It was probably only banned in the US, I think there was a line about that in Goth Chic but I don't care enough to look it up.
It’s scarier than anything you retarded ass zoomers have named
Oh yeah, forgot Hellraiser. Good movie monster design.
I got desensitized to horror because my brother decided it was a good idea to interrupt my disney viewings with The Thing when I was 5. The Descent is the only horror movie I can think of that has spooked me in recent years. Candyman is another one that sticks out but I was still a young lad when I saw that.
Hereditary was more mental terror than it was scary and it felt cheap, like an amalgam of Hellraiser and Psycho
You can call me whatever you want Exorcist will still suck.
Not really, you haven’t given a single good reason
>call a movie the scariest there is
>I point out it isn't scary
>PROVE IT
I'm not scared by it. That's it. That's all there is to it.
Avatar scared the crap out of me.
10 minutes in I knew it was the biggest pile of shit and I was scared it would never end.
NATHAN EXPLOSIIOOOONNN
FUCK
I gotta be honest, I can't watch horror movies with female antagonists. Its never scary for me and my first thought is usually that I'd fuck her. Sometimes I think she'd be less evil with some tender loving.
exorcist was terrifying to audiences who were predominantly religious and believed such an event was actually possible, elevating the experience. Modern audiences wont be as easily affected
thefix.com
what happened to her bros
Also they never ever explain why a grown male couldn't just punch the shit out of her.
/ffg/ recommended so many trash movies that I am thoroughly convinced the entire genre is trash, even the ones that critics praise.
Fuck Creep. Fuck As Above, So Below. Fuck REC. And most importantly, FUCK NIGGERS
that being said, Hereditary is the most "scary" movie
>going to /ffg/ for recs
jfc I hate underagefags. Literally can't have a conversation without them posting for attention.
All memes aside, this was a really well done movie. It stuck with me for a pretty long time.
Only high IQ people will understand
Isn't that the one with the cute and funny girl?
>The Haunting
Came here to post this. First 20-30 minutes are peak horror kino.
The Exorcist is a brilliant movie but I've never found it that scary, even when I was a kid watching it 10-15 years after its release, and I have a Catholic upbringing. I had no investment in the girl, didn't care about the mother, and homeboy was just doing his job. (I didn't have these specific thoughts at the time, I just didn't react strongly to what was happening.) It's a slow drama and the spooky shit is almost meditative. There's no apparent threat to anyone but the girl, and it has the feel of a medical drama and police procedural. It's one of the best movies of the 1970s but I don't think it qualifies as horror at all.
In a way The Shining is a similar story but with the roles switched around and a much longer descent into darkness for the possessed character, who wields direct power over the family, and we see likeable, vulnerable people in severe danger. Also the isolation thing again. Storm of the Century has this too. It's not a terribly well made movie but it's a lot of fun, and Colm Feore is a motherfucker.
That's an interesting observation, Lucifer, but you can also infer that the God in their world is clearly indifferent, which only makes all the horrific stuff that happens in the movie more unsettling.
I don't see it discussed here very often, but High Tension was kino.
>the God in their world is clearly indifferent
He's not just indifferent, he seems to have a mean streak, but we knew this already.
I usually try and pretend that she or any female ghost has sone kind of spectral power that drains her enemies strength as they struggle
Yeah this one is aja's best. Crazy to think she was making that severed head suck her metaphorical dick. People around here have shit taste so I don't even bother ever bringing it up.
I saw this film mentioned here a few times tonight so I started watching it, with 10 minutes left in the film I don't see what the hype is. It's boring as fuck, has literally no plot other than "clown kills people", no backstory or context for ANY of the characters, no reason at all for the crazy homeless lady to even exist other than to fill 5-10 minutes, and unless the ending wraps up in some unbelievably brilliant way it's a complete piece of shit. Going to try to keep my eyes open for the home stretch.
The movie that scared me the most was Beyond The Black Rainbow. The mixture of sounds and images really unsettled me. But it's not a horror movie, ofc.
PLEASE
Tell me where I can find english subs to this
I gotta say, to this day whenever I fire up TCM in a dark room with surround sound it's an experience like no other. Wouldn't call it the scariest film of all time but it's definitely the best out of the big 4 for me.
Female detected. Stop typing with your vagina.
I've had someone recommend this to me. Is it any good?
Mine has to be the grudge.
Sad thing is, I know I'll never feel the same way I felt when I watched the grudge, I used to have trouble sleeping at night for a week and my youth imagination caused me to see kayako in the dark corners of my room, I honestly felt scared and helpless, this all happened when I was like 11 or 12.
Thing is, its not that horror movies are getting worse (some do), its just the we eventually outgrow our imagination when it comes to anything illogical like supernatural things, we no longer feel "terror" with seeing spooky pale asian contorted faces, instead what scares us now is the thought of "shit that could be possible"
One of the few movies that made me genuinely upset for the entire night, but I know some people who didn't like it.
Aw fuck you man
I have come to realize that the reason females are chosen as the antagonist for majority of movies is because they produce fear through irrationality. Think about it, women are the most irrational things on this planet. Even women don't understand other women because they are impossible to understand. You literally never know what they are going to do.
Combine that with some crazy scenery, dark themes, a creepy outfit, and some camera tricks and you're set.
Men antagonists are good for thrillers because you always know what they're going to do next, they act rationally. Like Jason and Freddie. They always have the same M O. You know WHAT they're going to do, just not how they will get it done.
I liked it but opinion is very divided on it, everyone seems to love it or hate it.
it's alright, don't expect to be super scared
It's more feels than scares or even dread IMO, but good.
>I know I'll never feel the same way I felt when I watched the grudge
Find a way to watch it in a different environment other than your home. I recently saw the first Paranormal Activity in a Hotel bar, with the lights out, all by myself in a big fucking space.
It was genuinely unnerving and the movie isn't even that scary to begin with.
It's all about doing your part to make the experience as uncomfortable as you can.
A cold temperature helps as well in my experience.
How can anyone be scared of stupid fictional shit when you know you're going to die and stop existing at some inevitable point? I wish a demon ghost would come and rape my asshole, then I'd know there's something after death.
Imagine being on a Space Shuttle all by yourself and watching Alien.
>I wish a demon ghost would come and rape my asshole
You don't. I used to think I was desensitized to IRL shit too, until I was robbed in my own home.
If ghosts and the like were real, it would be an experience too intense for the human brain to process and you'd enter into shock really quick.
Hellraiser isn't even scary. And Hellraiser 2 is the superior film.
Candyman's atmosphere is top notch. A lot of Clive Barker's work has potential if adapted properly.
you don't know what he does and doesn't want in his asshole
I saw The Ring when I was about 9 and it scared the fuck out of me. I haven't watched it in years but I get the feeling it wouldn't hold up as well.
>Horror movie recommendation thread
>"Dude women are so crazy lol"
Why are you gay
You say that because you haven't seen it as a kid. That meat pillar alone was enough to traumatize me.
This. The 4th kind is trash
I don't remember the meat pillar. But you may be right, I saw it in my late twenties.
Fun fact, I auditioned for the Fourth Kind since it was shot in my country but the part went to a friend of mine. It's a really small part of a teen with an umbrella so I wasn't too bummed out.
When I saw the movie later on I thought it was lackluster. Fire in the sky did it better.
Bone Tomahawk was pretty intense.
im typing with my clit, actually
Graveyard encounters?
unironically the babadook
terrifying and kino
Are you me?
As a 13 year old, I watched the ring on a VHS tape on a CRT TV. Until we got an lcd tv I had to partially leave the room before switching off the TV and throwing the remote back into the room at night because I didn't want to see that static shit, and still had to run to my room.
Last year watching THOHH I have now spent most times in the dark at late night anxious over things just watching me, not due to the main ghosts but due to the background imagery like hands round doors, people in windows etc.
Agree with this. I'd seen silence of the lambs and hannibal before, but I was in a cabin in the woods with these big glass windows, pitch black and watched them both. I was really unnerved even though the movies had no relation to my setting.
you sad person
It was banned in europe for 30 years, but that means it was unbanned in 1962 so...
Woman in black 1 for me. I remember being scared as fuck to go home at night after seeing it, and I could not stay home alone for atleast a month after seeing it.
>being afraid of GHOSTS of all things
seriously?
Jacob's Ladder is honestly more sad and confusing than scary, but it gets props for creating such a unique look. Silent Hill owes so much to it.
The blair witch remake scared me and i'm 21 years old
Are there any other movies about being in Hell/Purgatory like this one?
So far I've only seen Hellraiser:Inferno.
user what the fuck are you talking about?
there is no homeless lady in Aterrados
both no clowns and no homeless there you fucking retard
>was scared as a kid from catching some Child's Play on tv so avoided them for years
>be early 20s
>start watching them with a friend once in a while
>none of them are particularly good
>watch texas chainsaw massacre one night
>holy shit
>have to walk 200 feet from his apartment to my car to go home
scariest thing ever
Very few movies make me feel uneasy these days. Savageland and We Are Still Here get my votes for recentish favs though. Found is another good one.
I thought this was scarier than hostel
By meat pillar you mean those things that shot out hooked chains that ripped the guy to shreds at the start right?
i'm a pussy and i've seen 3 ring movies easily. the two american ones, and the first japanese Ringu
haven't seen the rest of the jap ones or the korean ones
they're like a worse version of Mama (2013)
i want to watch [rec]. is my only choice to have it badly english dubbed? i want original language and eng subtitles
