03.01.22 | Might do a revisited top horror films of all time soon |
budgie
03.01.22 | yeah girl next door i was never able to finish
the ring - i saw that in theaters when it came out and yeah some of the scenes scared lil budge
other films: i saw ouiji: origin of evil while i was kinda fucked on ambien and it really got to me lmao. the lil girls demon face and wall crawling shit
lake mungo ruined me
and it follows made me uncomfortable sleeping with the window blinds up for a couple nights
& 28 weeks later intro was intense when it came out as well |
Pheromone
03.01.22 | have u seen the new texas chainsaw massacre i havent
rear window is weirdly the film that made me feel the most fear & co emotions whilst watching |
SteakByrnes
03.01.22 | The Ring terrified me as a kid! My sisters were obsessed with that movie and told me it was based on true events, so I was always scared to leave the tv on lol |
budgie
03.01.22 | i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED the new tcm
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED |
Divaman
03.01.22 | Good list.
Even though the acting is sometimes horrible, I think the only film I couldn't see through to the finish was the original Last House on the Left. |
porcupinetheater
03.01.22 | Lake Mungo is so good. Nice twisted list too.
It seriously helped that was high off my ass for this, but I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House got under my skin the first time I watched. Something about its concept of death really got me, along with the long, slow drag of everything to really give it time to sit and seep in |
budgie
03.01.22 | i am the pretty thing that lives in the house is sweet! check out oz perkins film before that: the blackcoat's daughter
it's a top 5 film for me i looooooooove it
prob my fav film actually
|
DarkSideOfLucca
03.01.22 | Aw man, I wanted to love the new TCM - I had high hopes with Fede Alvarez behind the scenes. The kills were fucking awesome, so that wasn't the problem, the problem for me was that no scene seemed even like it was trying to be scary. There was no one going through the house and seeing a home made of body parts, or being gagged and psychologically tortured by maniacs, or anything like that. It was just "walk up to person, kill person, next" which is not at all what I like about TCM or even the 2003 remake. |
BAT
03.01.22 | solid list, annnd of the excluded mention i woould say men behind the sun is still one of the most fucked up movies i've seen[annd its better than ASF]
i'm gonna give 'a clockwork orange' a shoutout cause that's still a fucked up/unsettling movie even after 50 years. in terms of stuff that scared me as a kiiid gotta go with the alien chestburster scene annnd 'the thing'.
annd for a less shocking nightmare of a movie, i'd rec 'plague dogs' |
budgie
03.01.22 | jeez i didnt even realize who directed it. evil dead remake was fucking killer too |
Egarran
03.01.22 | Hey atheism allows ghosts, I'm pretty sure.
Think the earliest mindfuck I saw was The Exorcist. Lil Eg just alone, checking this movie out late at night. |
budgie
03.01.22 | nvm he wrote it not directoo |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.02.22 | @norma - damn, I got got : (
@Budgie - yeah man, Evil Dead remake was pretty great, and I dig the first Don't Breathe - I know he didn't direct it, but fuck I was wishing to like it more. Good news is, a new Texas Chainsaw videogame is on the horizon and it looks dope!
@Egarran - haha true, but I'm not generally someone who would be prone to believing in that stuff and because of that damn movie at that age, it made me a wuss forever
@Bat - Clockwork Orange is in my top 10 favorite movies prob, but for whatever reason it didn't disturb me as much as these - I just think it's basically a perfect movie! |
Sinternet
03.02.22 | 6 for sure
im a little bitch when it comes to horror, but there a few that shook me a little for non-direct-horror related reasons:
dogtooth (one of my alltime faves and it still gets me)
salo (why was this film ever made who thought this was a good idea)
the wicker man (og of course, still absolutely nails a sense of dread and foreboding in the face of an inevitable demise)
|
DominionMM1
03.02.22 | the exorcist will always be #1 for me |
SitarHero
03.02.22 | Both versions of the The Fly traumatised me as a kid, as did Who Framed Roger Rabbit. |
WalrusTusk
03.02.22 | Hereditary definitely unsettled me as well. It's nice to see the Ring get some love as well. It's a pretty plebian take, but I get unsettled every time I watch Insidious. Minus the goofy ass ending the rest is pretty phenomenal. |
TalonsOfFire
03.02.22 | Much as I love classic horror like The Exorcist and The Shining, those older movies don’t unsettle me the way some newer ones do. Idk maybe I saw them too old, but for newer ones that I like/love I have to go with Hereditary and the Suspiria remake. The Witch and The Wailing too. 2014-early 2020 artsy horror is just wonderful. |
Hyperion1001
03.02.22 | these all come to mind off the top of my head.
possession
pulse
the changeling
session 9
[rec]
noroi: the curse
the vanishing
funny games |
Hyperion1001
03.02.22 | and re: the exorcist, my wife and i watched it again last week and i gotta say, its way more effective now that it was when i first saw it. i guess now that im older and about to start a family all the stuff with regan really got to me. the scenes with her strapped in those horrifying 1970's medical machines made me queasy. |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.02.22 | @Sinternet - Fuck I forgot about Salo...Salo is actually notable because it is still, to this day, the only movie that I have not finished/cannot finish lol
@Walrus - First half of Insidious is creepy as hell, but yeah that second half stage dives into cheese lol
@Talons- Yeah I dont know, a lot of those older movies creep me the hell out. 2010s spoiled us though lol - I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, and for like a decade and a half we would get one good horror movie every couple years. A24 made me feel like I was FINALLY around for something good in the genre
@Hyperion - Yeah, Exorcist def gets more screwed up with age dude. And ugh The Vanishing, that one screwed me up |
outreblah
03.02.22 | Two movies that come to mind that actually freaked me out. 8MM with Nicolas Cage, I saw it in theaters when it came out, I was 14 or 15 and had never seen anything like it. It scarred me. I haven't seen it since and it might not be as bad as I remember, but at the time it was horrifying. Luckily, Office Space came out that same day and walked in to watch it right after 8MM to cleanse the palette lol.
The other was The Exorcism of Emily Rose. I was very high and it freaked me out just having the DVD around the 'witching hour' so I drove to Blockbuster to drop it off at 2am and never looked back haha |
Viriathus
03.02.22 | Girl Next Door and Irreversible were definitely meant for more than just shock. Even if their execution could've been a bit better in some areas.
Hereditary is definitely less of a spooky film and more of a "gets under your skin" kind of deal, which honestly to me is a lot more effective.
Martyrs is the single film I can think of that actually succeeds in utilizing gore in an unnerving way rather than a shocking way. A video game rather than a movie but the only other piece I can think of that reaches that viscera for atmosphere is .flow. Still have yet to experience anything that was as simultaneously disturbing and isolating quite like that. The parade ward and school areas are the ultimate distillation of nightmare fuel.
Shoutout to the peep who mentioned The Plague Dogs, possibly the most depressing ending to any movie I've seen. Another animated film that falls into that disturbing in an upsetting rather than shocking way is Birdboy: The Forgotten Children. Utter shame how much of a failure that film was financially as it's my favorite film of all-time. |
YoYoMancuso
03.02.22 | There's something about Texas Chainsaw Massacre that will always get under my skin. It feels like it's actually happening in front of you |
TheNotrap
03.02.22 | The movies that scared me the most as a kid were Jaws and Halloween. |
Egarran
03.02.22 | I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer when I was 13, that probably wasn't a good idea. My cousin made me watch it and we swore afterwards we would never go to USA.
He lives in New York now, the damn traitor. |
Snake.
03.02.22 | t h r e a d s |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.03.22 | @outre- Never saw 8MM but Exorcism of Emily Rose was awesome! I haven't seen it in like over 10 years but I remember really liking it in theaters. Office Space is also one of the best m/
@Viriathus - yeah I mean I get that they were, but those two films specifically REALLY weren't for me lol. It's hard to explain, but there is a really thin line for me thats makes a distinct difference of "that was a horror movie that truly disturbed me and made me extremely uncomfortable, but it scared me in a genuine way and I love it" and "that was a horror movie that made me want to cry and never watch it again to the point of not even enjoying my time."
Haven't seen Plague Dogs but now I am interested.
@Yoyo- agreed hard. Texas Chainsaw still is one of the most uncomfortable watches, but in the best way.
@Egarran "He lives in New York now, the damn traitor." LMAO |
Purpl3Spartan
03.03.22 | The sixth sense is more considered a thriller yeah, but definitely has its horror elements. Incredible movie |
Lucman
03.03.22 | I've seen all except 1 and they're all some of the best films horror has ever offered. |
BAT
03.03.22 | @Viriathus i hadn't heard of it, thanks for the rec [annd if you've got any other more recent animation recs lemme know, i've slept on the past decade or so but love 70s indie bakshi type stuff]
@DarkSide a clockwork orange is also somewhere in my top 25 movies/miight be my fav kubrick but lately i've been leaning towards full metal jacket. rewatches / malcolm mcdowell definitely helps to get thru some of the more brutal aspects but i still run into people who [understandably] detest it for the SA content and/or kubricks cruelty to actors/actresses. i still think its one of the most effectively disturbing films of the 1970s, even stuff like last house on the left doesn't really compare. i'm also a fan of the book though and think its near perfect adaptation/generally agree with kubricks changes for film. annnd plague dogs is unforgettable, highly recommended |
naughtcturnal
03.03.22 | Agree with pretty much the whole list and The Shining was one of my first horror movies too and it creeped me tf out. Hereditary gets scarier every time I watch it. Also IMO Martyrs is the quintessential extreme horror flick. A true, nearly un-watchable masterpiece
Has anyone here seen V/H/S 2? saw that one recently for the first time and it had moments that had me feeling extremely unsettled and/or grossed out |
po0ty
03.03.22 | Not exactly horror like the others but Under the Skin will definitely freak your bean |
wwf
03.03.22 | Under the Skin is absolutely a horror movie
And even if it wasn't, that pop is one of the most terrifying things ever put in a movie. If you know you know |
wwf
03.03.22 | Noroi the curse is dummy underrated too. There's lots of understated creepy shit in it. I like the simplicity of the ESP scene near the beginning |
budgie
03.03.22 | noroi has been considered a cult classic FF for like 15 years i didnt really care for it |
Egarran
03.03.22 | How about Deliverance? I was definitely also too young when I saw that. No kid needs that shit. |
JeremiahBullfrog
03.03.22 | Nice list, for me it would be;
Evil Dead (OG + 2013)
Hereditary
War Of The Worlds (2005)
Insidious 2
|
DarkSideOfLucca
03.03.22 | @Purp - yeah man, tbh sometimes it even feels like a straight drama with a couple of feraky scenes. It's crazy looking back how that one fucked me up the most lol
@luc - m///
@Bat - Full Metal Jacket is definitely up there for me as well. My favorite always changes, but I think now it's The Shining? I don't even know dude lol Kubrick movies are all so good
@naught- hell yeah dude - although I have not seen V/H/S 2, the first one had some really great stuff in it. I was surprised when it got mixed reviews tbh, I remember thoroughly enjoying myself
@pooty/wwf - Under the Skin is UNBELIEVABLY fucked lol - it didnt necessarily scare me, but yeah man that shit was burned into my brain for a while. Those twists were, uh...yeah
-Never saw noroi
@Egarran - "No kid needs that shit" [2], oink oink
@Jeremiah - Hell yeah dude, glad to see the Evil Dead/Hereditary overlap in our lists m/ - and nice shout out to the remake as well, that shit was fire |
budgie
03.03.22 | you guys seen the new vhs? ive seen the first segment like 4x but i keep falling asleep after |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.03.22 | Nah I only saw the first one
Just saw Saint Maud a few nights ago though, that was good stuff |
naughtcturnal
03.04.22 | @budgie yeah I saw it! One of the last segments has some crazy monster designs and I thought it was an overall pretty good flick
@Lucca: I figure the mixed reviews are due to the campiness of it and I do agree it is a good one
yall need to watch the 2nd one tho |
budgie
03.04.22 | yeah i think the zombie segment in the 2nd is my overall fav vhs segment.
or maybe the siren one actually (the standalone film was fookin sweet) |

Totally agreed, and I should amend my first comment to say that those older movies do creep me out a lot too, I guess just in a different way. Another great recent horror movie I really liked that was pretty disturbing is Hagazussa. |
EyesWideShut
03.05.22 | Martyrs is a brutal flick, idk if it would say its actually "good" but very disturbing haha
The Exorcist and OG Texas Chainsaw both are amazing and still effective
Von Trier's Antichrist towards the end was really creepy and his use of sound was A1. |
budgie
03.05.22 | von trier is trash |
EyesWideShut
03.05.22 | idk Von Trier himself might have his head up his own ass but flicks like Breaking The Waves and Melancholia were really well made. Heard good things about that House Jack Built too. |
budgie
03.05.22 | house jack built is why trier is trash
|
Egarran
03.05.22 | Antichrist and Melancholia are indeed great movies.
I dare not watch the house that jack built, it sounds so bleak. |
BigPleb
03.05.22 | The Vanishing definitely comes to mind, tension filled ride all the way to the end with a horrifying finale.
Event Horizon scared me as a kid too, couldn't sleep for a while after seeing it haha. |
combustion07
03.05.22 | Came to mention Lake Mungo, happy to see it got brought up early. Just saw it recently and went into it blind and that feeling I got when the big reveal happened definitely stuck with me long after it ended and it had me looking over my shoulder for the rest of the night. Been a long time since a film hit me like that.
The OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one of the first horror flicks I saw when I was really young and once it ended I was nervous that someone was going to creep around the corner with a chainsaw. Another one that is a bit odd but freaked me out as a kid was Killer Klowns From Outer Space. I watched it at the lake of the Ozarks in the middle of nowhere and my parents were outside raking when I started it but by the time it was over they were nowhere to be found and my imagination ran wild and terrified me ha. Agreed on The Ring also. I saw White Noise in the theater when I was pretty young also and that one had me kind of spooked afterwards also. I haven't revisited it but I probably should soon to see if it holds up considering I've heard mixed things.
The original Pulse (Kairo) has a dread filled atmosphere and definitely freaked me out first watch.
Hereditary didn't really get me the first time around when I saw it in theaters but I was hanging out with a friend a few days after my girlfriend had died and she chose it as the movie to watch and the theme of the film really hit hard at that time and sitting through it was a pretty crushing experience that I won't likely forget.
Also agreed on The Girl Next Door being a rough watch. Great movie but man it's not fun to sit through honestly. Wouldn't say it freaked me out but it without a doubt isn't something I'll forget. I'm sure there's plenty I forgot but these are the ones that spring to mind |

03.05.22 | Just a shame it was butchered by ratings board etc, will never get to see the uncut/full film version Anderson intended. |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.05.22 | Lars von Trier? More like Lars von Trash.
Yeah I dunno, I get that his movies are well made, but I'm not into emotional devastation porn. His movies just feel like unrelentingly depressing to a detriment to the actual material imo. It's a little much for me. I feel like I would think he was a genius if I was in middle school though
@combustion - damn dude im really sorry for your loss - Hereditary got me bad because of a very personal loss as well.
And yeah, Girl Next Door didn't freak me out or anything - I just included that in my intro because I know there are more "extreme" movies than shit like The Ring or whatever, but sometimes people confuse that for actually being genuinely effective rather than just being upsetting - at least in my experience when talking about horror |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.05.22 | @BigPleb - "Just a shame it was butchered by ratings board etc, will never get to see the uncut/full film version Anderson intended." Yo, biggest [2] ever written |

03.05.22 | " I feel like I would think he was a genius if I was in middle school though"
dude this is EXACTLY my take on it. von triers what made me lose all possible repect for "film majors" and the like who praise that pretentious drivel. presents itself as being deep but its about as deep as a puddle of dive bar piss . and then his whole "im misunderstood like hitler" speech just wraps it up nicely. edgy middle school shit |
budgie
03.05.22 | check banshee chapter if you havent. some awesome horror atmospheres in that one. did freak me out a bit |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.05.22 | Budgie gets it m////
Still never saw Killer Klowns weirdly enough, gotta check that out
Haven't seen Banshee Chapter either
Vainishing fucked me up for the next day after I saw that aha, that's a fantastic film |
budgie
03.05.22 | watch killer klowns tonight !!!!!!!! (and banshee) |

03.05.22 | von trier is a hack who makes shit films. everything ive seen from him has been offensively bad. he even managed to make bjork suck hes so bad. |

03.05.22 | Don't Look Up is kinda freaky |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.05.22 | I feel like Don't Look Up is a movie that I should have liked but it just didn't gel with me. I love more artsy movies, and the atmosphere was on point but when it ended I was just left thinking "...that's it? What the fuck was the point of that?" |
budgie
03.05.22 | i liked the first act when it kind of carried an air of seriousness but man that film became really fucking eccentric and goofy and ended with weird ass dinosaur aliens eating meryl streep |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.05.22 | "Damn Von Trier really pushed yall's buttons.
Obv his movies are not for pussies."
I dunno dude, maybe I'm just old enough to realize that a movie requires a bit more than being "shocking" or consistently, unrealistically emotionally devastating.
Seriously, some of his movies have characters that are ALL beyond evil to a laughable degree. I love me some sad/dark movies sometimes, but not when it's literally just obvious edgelord bullshit where the characters don't even act like people. |
Egarran
03.05.22 | >characters don't even act like people
you are so close to getting it |

03.05.22 | ya lucca it mighjt just be too cerebral for us. we arent smort enough to appreciation the profoundness of trier |

03.05.22 | Used to dig von Trier before he disappeared up the wormhole of his own ass
Breaking the Waves is hella tight |
porcupinetheater
03.05.22 | Melancholia was pretty great too, grounded enough in real human emotion that he had to talk about empathizing with Hitler at the Cannes premier because he ran out of time and forgot to put the edgy stuff in the actual movie |

03.06.22 | fun curiosity: i recced my friend the 1988 The Vanishing Film, and she ended up downloading and watching the one with Gerald Butler |
TalonsOfFire
03.06.22 | I like most Lars V Tr that I've seen, but he's not for all tastes. Dogville, Antichrist, Melancholia, Brkng the Wvs, and House that J Blt are all great. The latter has some very funny moments to counteract the horrific stuff that happens.
Anyone here see the French movie L’interior (Inside)? Easily the most insane home invasion movie ever made, and probably the best.
Spoorlos (The Vanishing) is indeed good and very disturbing, even w/o any onscreen violence or anything shocking happening visually iirc. |
DarkSideOfLucca
03.06.22 | 'Anyone here see the French movie L’interior (Inside)?"
Yeah man, I actually LOVE a tonnnn about that movie. But there is some things that hold it back for me - very very stupid horror cliches in a movie that was so close to being amazing. Horror cliches are all good and fine, but they just felt out of place as hell here. The whole cop thing at the end also made zero sense.
And the ending is also just a bit too much for me lol - not the last shot per se or the idea behind it, but showing the whole part where she...yeah. Not ever gonna look at that shit lol |

Thanks for the bump
And with Blair Witch, it was one of those things where you really had to be there |
MoM
09.23.22 | Blair Witch fucked me up as a kid! And The Ring and The Grudge! Have you tried Persona? The water bottle scene and the stepping on the glass fucked me up big time too! |
Shemson
09.23.22 | It’s always Hereditary for me.
Saw it in the cinema off the back of liking the look of the trailer and it was so intense.
Off the back of that also went to see Midsommar and it was equally disturbing just in a different way. Big fan of Ari Aster, looking forward to seeing what comes next.
The thing about both of those movies was they stayed with me and my wife for weeks where we kept remembering things and freaking each other out for about a month and not really talking about anything else! |
TalonsOfFire
09.24.22 | I think the two scariest and most disturbing/unsettling movies I've seen that I love came out in the same year, Hereditary and Suspiria. Both those movies will rock you to the core emotionally and just with the content in general, even for a seasoned horror viewer like me. |
MoM
09.24.22 | Yeah, I can’t get into Hereditary. The first watch was okay, nothing special, but the second bored the shit out of me. Can’t do it. It’s got good moments, though. The whole party through mom finding Charlie would make a great short film, but the rest doesn’t do it for me. |
MoM
09.24.22 | I love the Suspiria remake though. Still need to watch the original. |
PotsyTater
09.25.22 | lol @ saying Irreversible had no value and then including shit like The Ring, Evil Dead, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Classic Caliggy take right there |
MoM
09.25.22 | Irreversible has no value? Did he ever actually watch it? |
DarkSideOfLucca
09.27.22 | I did.
And yeah, that movie was mostly just depression porn tbh.
Didn't actually crawl under my skin in any real way. Extended rape scenes aren't exactly the same as a haunting atmosphere/actual scary idea to me. |
TalonsOfFire
09.27.22 | Gasper Noe is kinda overrated imo. I've seen enough of his films and also know enough about that movie to know it's not for me and never want to see it in my life. As far as transgressive and controversial old European auteur filmmakers go ie. Noe, Mike Leigh, Pedro Almodóvar, Haneke, and Lars Von Trier, the latter's filmography is easily my fav. |
PotsyTater
09.29.22 | Ya if you’ve seen irreversible and think it has no value you’re just flat out stupid sorry
If you know yourself well enough to know better than to try and stomach it to begin with however, then you just have good sense
That’s how a feel about Martyrs, another film that certainly has value that I absolutely have no interest in ever trying to stomach |

10.07.22 | I really think the Suspiria remake will go down in the future as a horror classic unappreciated in its time. I’ve only seen it twice so far but think about it pretty regularly, being such a unique, extreme, ambitious, beautiful horror movie that really makes you think. I wish I could experience seeing it in a theater for the first time again, was such a tense and mind-blowing experience, especially the gory but transcendent climax. Never would’ve guessed that it would come from a classy Italian relationship drama director like Luca Guadagnino lol, and I’m really looking forward to his upcoming cannibal film Bones & All. |
PotsyTater
10.07.22 | Could not agree more about that. When I think of modern horror classics that’s at the top of the list for me. |
Gyromania
10.07.22 | I think the Shining is genuinely unsettling, and a big part of that (for me) is in its impossible geometry. Idk if it was due to production oversights or an artistic decision, but there are a few "impossible" spaces people have broken down in video essays. Gives the place this disorienting, alien feel. |
Gyromania
10.07.22 | Also big YES to Suspiria. I'm usually not a fan of remakes, but that one is damn near perfect |
Mongi123
10.07.22 | Hereditary and The Sixth Sense both did not scare me at alll |
Gyromania
10.07.22 | Hereditary made me very uncomfortable more than actually scaring me. Like Midsommar though, it's supposed to be more disturbing conceptually than containing a mountain of cheap jump scares. Sixth Sense isn't scary at all tho lol |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | The Blair Witch Project, Midsommer, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, X. The ones that are actually creative. Not that The Sixth Sense isn’t creative but upon rewatch you can see the twist coming a mile away and it just ain’t scary man. |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Yeah I wouldn’t call unsettling and scary mutually exclusive. What scares me about Midsommer so much is the fact that, as out there as it might be, could conceivably happen in real life. As is the others. I mentioned |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I think hereditary is a tad over rated but I did like it a lot
The Witch did atmospheric horror pretty much perfectly imo. Blackcoats Daughter was also top tier |
KILL
10.08.22 | listen up kidz
the innocents(1961) has one of the creepiest atmospheres ever, true fuckin horror, no jump scare retarded shit to be found, genuine unsettling gothic horror
the haunting (1963) along the same lines, BUT maybe even creepier because holy fuck the house is ALLLLIIIIVVVEEEEEE!! no genuinely terrifying if you love creepy spooky house oooooOOOOooooOOOOoooos
god theres so much more but i gota rock a piss
|
Mongi123
10.08.22 | KILL you have to be at least 80 years old and you love acting like it |
MoM
10.08.22 | The Innocents is great.
Blackcoat’s Daughter will always be one of my favourites, Potsy. I love seeing it get some respect.
Some real good shit in here. |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Also I love a recent poll in which the general public voted Sinister as the scariest movie they’ve seen. I forget where I saw that but if that’s true, did we watch the same movie? I got from it in the end that it was just Ethan hawke walking around the house with a bat thinking “whoz dat?! Whoz in my kitchen!?” Boring as absolute dogshit. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I knew Kill’s comment would be some classics. Hereditary is very disturbing and effective I thought, unlike a lot of typical modern horror I found it really unpredictable and psychologically horrifying. The Witch and Blackcoat’s Daughter are two of my fav recent horrors too. Sixth Sense is more of a supernatural thriller imo, not that scary by todays standards but very good. |
KILL
10.08.22 | yea the witch and hereditary are awesome, def the best modern horror films. i heard good things about pearl too
sinister is shite lol |
KILL
10.08.22 | i used to say i was 50 back in like 2012 so i guess i'm 60 now
look mongi i've seen all the classics and the new shit and the classics are better, much like music. crazy that! |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | We’ll KILL you should see X for a good modern horror movie. Pearl is marketed as a prequel to X. Hmm Hereditary and The Witch didn’t scare me either. I guess I just don’t scare easily. Usually the more supernatural it gets the more bored I get. With rare exceptions of course. The Shining, The Exorcist and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are very scary to me. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I’m not quite sure how to articulate what exactly about hereditary beings it down a bit for me. Like I’d still call it easily a 4 or 4.5 modern horror but there was just something missing for me and I’m not quite sure what. But I’ve only watched once. After one watch each I think I slightly prefer Midsommar. The beginning scene of that movie alone was more affecting than the vast majority of any other horror out there.
I’m curious to see the hellraiser reboot as I liked The Ritual by the same director. I thought it had one of the most unique movie monsters in decades. |
KILL
10.08.22 | i'm a sucker for dark and creepy atmosphere, which barely any modern horror films try to do. they just go BANG and startle you. it's like watching fireworks. and i saw X, it was fun! |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @mongi most horror in general doesn’t “scare” me much, what I look for is the depth of unease and psychological weight. That’s what I like in a good horror / thriller. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Anyone seen Lamb or You Won’t Be Alone? Loved those lmao |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Oh! And The Eyes of My Mother while we are on the subject of amazing recent atmospheric stuff |
deathofasalesman
10.08.22 | Gaspar Noe's latest film Vortex made me feel very uncomfortable for 2 hours. Didn't freak me out but really sobered me up about age/death. |
ChrimzonCanine
10.08.22 | Human Centipede (the second one) was the first movie that made me not want to eat for days, so I’d add it to the list |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Gotta peep Vortex. Climax was so good. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I also slightly prefer Midsommar to Hereditary, love the whole surreal but pastroral daytime aesthetic it had going. X was indeed fun. I look for the same things Kill, those kinds of horror movies have the most impact for me. I loved Lamb and You won’t be Alone, the latter was a really unique and beautiful approach to folk horror that resonated with me. Eyes of My Mother was really messed up but good haha |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Yeah having a mainly day lit vibrant horror movie was an ambitious undertaking and he pulled it off majorly |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Talons I didn’t know you were a horror aficionado |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Yeah I’ve always liked horror, but then got super into it on another level since covid started. The Ritual was indeed good and I liked the monster a lot too. I liked The Babadook but that directors follow-up is even better, The Nightingale, speaking of supremely messed up movies. I think the most messed up movie I’ve seen from this year that I liked is Men, from the same director as Annihilation and Ex Machina. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I’ve heard really good things about nightingale and I intend to check it but I actually hated babadook haha.
I loved Men personally as well, despite the fact that it somehow managed to offend people for all the wrong reasons.
Have you seen Relic? |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | A lot of viewers oversimplified Men and didn’t fully engage with it from what I’ve seen. I think it probably could’ve used a different title. I did see Relic, liked it well enough but seemed a little derivative of Hereditary. I bet the filmmakers wished that title hadn’t been taken cause that’s kind of its whole theme. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @talons most critical “reviews” I’ve read were super knee jerk reactions and you could tell they decided they weren’t going to look into it any deeper from there. IMO at least a basic understanding of the mythology it riffs on is absolutely crucial to understanding what the movie has to say, so when I see these takes just dismissing it as tone deaf male apologism I find it hard to take them seriously in any capacity.
Yeah I liked relic even if it was a bit derivative. It was very simple. The imagery of that final scene was absolutely magnificent imo.
@pizza I just hated the mom and the kid so damn much, the entire movie made me feel like I was slowly going mad. And just the whole babadook monster and catch phrase in general I thought was kind of goofy. As far as this trend of allegorical films that use the horror element as a metaphorical illustration of a simpler theme like grief, mental illness, etc etc (which I love) I’ve felt that it was one of the weaker ones. |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Men is a movie that happens when it tells a story worth telling becomes too big for its britches. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Relic had some nice, creepy imagery and yea that ending is really good and bleak. I liked The Babadook but I don’t consider it on the same level as the prestige, artsy modern horror we’ve been getting since around 2014. It’s more on the level of decent, enjoyable mainstream stuff like The Conjuring, Insidious, Sinister, the two new Its, and Ouija: Origin of Evil for me. |
Ecnalzen
10.08.22 | I haven't been keeping up with horror movies enough lately. Used to love em
One of the more recent ones I remember atching was Malignant. It was absolutely ridiculous at the end, but I still kinda loved it, almost specifically for that reason |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | What I don’t like is that there are so many horror comedys coming out. Like there used to be rare movies like The Cabin In The Woods which was, not exactly scary but more than made up for it with its comedy. “How hard is it to kill 9 year olds?! 😂” I’ll never forget that line. They used to be very rare but now one comes out every other day so I don’t value them as much because of it. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | “ It’s more on the level of decent, enjoyable mainstream stuff like The Conjuring, Insidious, Sinister, the two new Its, and Ouija: Origin of Evil for”
Word. I think that’s fair.
|
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Omg I forgot about The Descent. That movie rules. |
Egarran
10.08.22 | >the haunting (1963)
No but really it's so good and I don't understand why it's not a classic a la Psycho. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | The Descent is awesome, and yeah a lot of modern horror comedies are hits and misses for me, but Cabin in the Woods is the gold standard. Malignant is interesting cause it’s so batshit crazy but came from James Wan who up to then just made good, classy popcorn horror like the two Insidiouses and the Conjurings, then Furious 7 and Aquaman. The original Haunting is good and all but hardly that scary tbh. They changed the ending from the book iirc. Psycho on the other hand is the best horror movie ever made, if you consider that horror. |
SmashIsTheWay94
10.08.22 | Just watched the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre last night. Horrifying stuff that doesn't feel aged a bit |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Special mention to Clovefield, VHS, 28 Days Later, The Wicker Man, It Chapter One, ouija origin of evil, Let The Right One In. Films that didn’t really scare me but I just thought we’re great films. There’s that little subset of horror movies too. 28 Days Later is probably one of the only instances we’re zombies were scary. Out of any horror trope, I think zombies and vampires are the worst lol |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Double post. I thought Malignant was an incoherent mess 😂 I’m such a horror critic. But I enjoy the haunt for the next big horror movie that leaves me with little sleep. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Yeah Malignant is kind of terrible, especially the first half, but it might’ve been on purpose? The whole last third is kind of incredible tho, really weird movie haha. Let the Right One In is the best vampire movie and 28 Days Later is the best zombie movie imo. The sequel 28 Weeks Later is really good too. I hope they make another one some day. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Also Mike Flanagan’s been at the forefront of high quality modern horror. He made the two Haunting Of shows and Midnight Mass, along with two great Stephen King adaptations Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep, which are really smart, psychological horror movies. His earlier stuff Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus, and Hush are very solid. |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Hush was solid and subversive. The Haunting Of Hill House was an amazing story of of healing family trauma and grief told with a horror backdrop. I loved it. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I just thought Let The Right One In was okay. Two better vampire movies imo: A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night (this is the best one ever), Only Lovers Left Alive |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | As for Flanagan I think he’s only at the forefront in regards to that tier of mainstream lowest common denominator type stuff you mentioned earlier talons
I’ve definitely been entertained by him, but not necessarily impressed |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.08.22 | "Ya if you’ve seen irreversible and think it has no value you’re just flat out stupid sorry"
Damn, well fuck you too Pots |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I said sorry didn’t I |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | lol
Yeah but Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep dir. cut I think qualify as elevated horror, especially the latter. I know unpopular opinion but I thought A Girl Walks Home… and Lovers Left Alice were both just ok, I might've had too high expectations or something. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | I haven’t seen doctor sleep. I was excited for it but have heard mostly bad things. Gerald’s Game was a surprisingly good adaptation of a book that seemed nearly impossible to adapt as a film. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Have u seen Raw talons ? |
Josh D.
10.08.22 | movies aren't real btw |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Where do we stand on The Walking Dead as horror 😜😜
Raw was okay but there was a few times where I felt like okay these characters don’t have to be naked for this why??? |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Raw is one of the few movies that made me feel kinda physically ill with every scene even tho it wasn’t that excessively violent, in a mostly good way haha
I loved the first 3 seasons of The Walking Dead, the next 3 were inconsistent, then stopped watching after the season 7 premiere cause it had turned into trash. Season 1 is the only really great one I think, but it’s been a while. |
Source
10.08.22 | anyone ever seen the secret of NIMH? i was absolutely terrified of that one as a kid |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Horrible show in the second half after season 5 and part of 6, which I thought started promising. One of the few shows I actually stopped watching cause I love to finish things. It should have ended after Rick left. It just keeeeeeeps gooooooing ages before he left too 🙃 bad as a hot work as well.
On the topic of horror shows American Horror Story is terrible from the getgo lmao |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I think seasons 1, 2, 4, some of 5, 8, 9, and first half of 10 of AHS are good in a guilty pleasure way, but the rest is pretty useless. I won’t even bother with that American Horror Stories thing which looks like trash. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @mongi Man if you don’t like raw and think shit like hush and haunting of hill house is amazing we are going to find absolutely zero common ground smh 😂
“ Raw is one of the few movies that made me feel kinda physically ill with every scene even tho it wasn’t that excessively violent, in a mostly good way haha”
Hell yes this is the way. I love directors who can make you uneasy without having to be on the nose. It’s an art imo. Anyone can just toss a bunch of gross shit into a movie and make you sick.
|
Mongi123
10.08.22 | I didn’t say I didn’t like it, and I said hush was “solid” not amazing. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Yeah but honestly I think all of the other ones you mentioned before that are pretty average too, except let the right one in which was pretty good but not quite amazing imo. So between all that and just thinking raw was “ok” and not liking men I suspect we have pretty polar opposite tastes
Agree walking dead is shit tho, it was a good hate-watch for a while and then it became too bad for even that.
And I love pretty much everything about American horror story except the show itself unfortunately. Like it has all the ingredients to be amazing but somehow it just isn’t. The actors are all legendary, there’s great performances, the concepts are great, the theme music and imagery is god tier, but actually watching the show is excruciating. I somewhat liked the first two seasons and after that I realized that the moments of glory aren’t even worth the slog. |
IsisScript80
10.08.22 | "Where do we stand on The Walking Dead as horror 😜😜"
It has been great, but at least 50% of it is utter shit (and fuck any notion of spin-offs... the mainline show is/was bloated and repetitive enough).
As straight horror, it has its moments... there was a highlight episode of this in the most recent season, something truly original for the show (involving the character/actresses actual deafness to great effect), but the most genuinely effective use of TRUE horror was the controversial full introduction of the Negan character... basically torture porn, but hard-hitting in more than a literal sense. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | The best Walking Dead eps I can remember post season 3 are the last few governor ones, the Tyreese death ep which is probably the best of the whole series, No Sanctuary, Conquer, and The Same Boat. I just can’t get past how bad the season 6 finale and season 7 premiere are to watch any more. |
GiaNXGX
10.08.22 | Emily rose’s face used to be all over me and kept me from gaining sleep. I agree TCM and the french horror (New extremity?) are very extreme too. Solid list have a pos |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I never want to think about that movie again, wish I had never seen it, and wouldn’t recommend it be seen by anyone, but I can’t say it’s bad and even had a couple moments with some emotional resonance for me. But again, no one should watch it and I wish it never existed haha |
CockneyDave
10.08.22 | Walking Dead is absolute shite
The best horror series is the first season of The Terror |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @talons are you talking about martyrs or exorcism of Emily rose ? |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Can someone just spoil the “major point” that redeems the torture porn of martyrs for me so I can just be in the know without ever having to watch it? Because I will not watch it. Ever.
I know all the vile irredeemable garbage that happens in it but I don’t know what the supposed point is that gives it value despite seeming exploitive and disgusting beyond imagination. |
Mongi123
10.08.22 | Never heard of Martyrs and looked it up and it has a 9% on rotten tomatoes 👌 |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I saw the original French one which got good reviews, unlike the remake which is supposedly terrible. As far as most disturbing movies ever made, that one takes the cake from what I’ve seen. I think the emotional resonance comes from the bond the two characters had in the face of such horrific circumstances, as well as the ending which implies this sort of transcendental purpose to why the movie is the way that is, which might sound weird but not sure how else to describe it. I generally don’t like movies like that but watched out of morbid curiosity. I prefer other things in the horror genre overall. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @mongi I’m referring to the original French
“ as well as the ending which implies this sort of transcendental purpose to why the movie is the way that is”
Can you elaborate on what that purpose might be at all? |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | “ the most genuinely effective use of TRUE horror was the controversial full introduction of the Negan character.”
I gave up on the show well before this happened but I begrudgingly trekked on until this episode because I knew that at least that way I could bow out on a high note. Did not disappoint. I got to say “haha fuck you glen” and then never watch that piece of shit show ever again
(Btw what kept me going is that there truly was like one really great episode per season… but I just got tired of slogging through the bullshit to get there) |
Egarran
10.08.22 | Backing potsy up here - I am never going to see Martyrs, but I want to know all about how fucked up it is. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | There’s this sequence where the main character is able to access the whole nature of the afterlife and there’s this cosmic imagery she sees which is interesting but it’s due to her conditions due to this horrific cult her and others have been kidnapped by and subjected to experiments I guess, the Wikipedia article might explain it better but suffice it to say there is more to the movie than like Eli Roth movies and other comparable shit but like I said all of that stuff is reprehensible and shouldn’t even exist in my view haha |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | So the mc achieves some sort of enlightenment out of all the brutality inflicted on her? Sounds like it’s a “you just have to see it” sort of thing. But I still won’t 😂.
I can forgive Martyrs since everyone says it has value unlike other torture porn trash but I agree that a lot of that stuff should not exist and frankly everyone involved with A Serbian Film should be shot. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | Same goes for everyone involved with Salo, which I have unfortunately seen.
On the flip side, another controversial one that I personally think is an exception and has value is Cannibal Holocaust |
Shemson
10.08.22 | Yeah agreed Potsy, I hate movies like that, absolute bollocks
Anyone seen that Smile movie yet? Looks like there’ll be no substance or plot but the trailer looked like it’ll have some great cheap thrills |
CockneyDave
10.08.22 | A Serbian Film is garbage 0/10
I can just picture the smug faces of the directors while they were thinking about all of the offensive shite they were gonna put on film followed by their extra smug faces when they came up with the toss excuse that their film is an official "critique on current Serbian society" lol fuck off
Salo is also 0/10
I agree that Cannibal Holocaust is actually good, that soundtrack is class
Though I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but it could do without all of the disgusting real life animal killing |
Kusangii
10.08.22 | Dude, the ring actually made me sick as a kid. I remember watching it with friends but couldn't even bear through. |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | I agree as well, that stuff doesn’t do it for me and I generally like more depth in movies. I’m curious about Smile, at first I thought it’d be stupid like that Truth or Dare movie that had smiling haha, but after a little more looking into it, actually looks like it might be good! |
Shemson
10.08.22 | I watched the ring at a friends house and went straight to bed when I got home.
I remember waking up in the night and needed a drink but I had an old tv at the end of my bed and I had a vcr poking out and it freaked me out so much I didn’t get out of bed and just tried to go straight back to sleep with my eyes tightly closed 🤣 |
CockneyDave
10.08.22 | I went to see Smile last week
Derivative and very reliant on jump scares, but great visuals and sound design, a well done nightmarish sense of dread and very solid acting by Sosie Bacon as well as Rob Morgan who gets to act for like one scene in the entire movie but really goes all out during those 5 minutes |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | Sounds promising. Maybe a sort of dumb premise but at the same time has this really effective execution that makes it really effective and tense to watch, like It Follows for example. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | “ Though I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but it could do without all of the disgusting real life animal killing”
Tho killing animals just for a scene is certainly amoral, I think there is value in just how controversial those scenes are despite the animals being killed in traditional hunter/gatherer methods, which are vastly more humane than the way the meat we eat is butchered. The fact that people can’t watch live animals be killed like that but can eat factory meat every day is pretty hypocritical |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | The ring fucked me up as a child
So did the grudge lmao |
TalonsOfFire
10.08.22 | The Ring was very effective to me as a child and looking back was great, tho haven’t seen it in a long time. Is Cannibal Holocaust actually good? Somehow never gotten around to seeing it despite having heard plenty about it. I’m kinda sensitive to real life animal violence which was probably why I haven’t seen it yet. |
MoM
10.08.22 | “The ring fucked me up as a child
So did the grudge lmao”
Fucking same. Especially the Grudge. Took years to watch either again and took years to not freak myself out imagining something lurking at the foot of my bed. |
PotsyTater
10.08.22 | @talons yes I think it’s great |
Sharenge
10.08.22 | I'm embarrassed and ashamed of how big of a puss I was after seeing The Ring in the theater as a kid |
CockneyDave
10.08.22 | "The fact that people can’t watch live animals be killed like that but can eat factory meat every day is pretty hypocritical"
That's why I actually didn't take an issue with the turtle scene. It's caught, killed quickly, prepared for dinner and eaten.
The coati and the monkey on the other hand were just killed on camera and from what I remember didn't end up as dinner. I remember those as gratuitous which rubbed me the wrong way.
Aside from that, it's a legitimate classic with a superb atmosphere |
MoM
10.08.22 |
@Sharenge
The Blair Witch Project in theatres freaked me out so badly, the goddamn Scooby-Doo parodies they showed on TV scared the shit out of me |
Sharenge
10.09.22 | that one was one I first watched on television one night... also embarrassed and ashamed |
CockneyDave
10.09.22 | "Sounds promising. Maybe a sort of dumb premise but at the same time has this really effective execution that makes it really effective and tense to watch, like It Follows for example."
It definitely reminded me of It Follows in its approach. It's popcorn horror, but for what it sets out to do, it's effective. I'd take a derivative but creepy flick like that over dumb gratuitously mean spirited rubbish like for instance Terrifier any day of the week |
MoM
10.09.22 | @Sharenge
My embarrassed and ashamed would be the rhino and the aunts on James and the Giant Peach. I have another embarrassed and ashamed for the Lady Spider, but that’s fairly different and for another thread. |
PotsyTater
10.09.22 | @cockneydave I don’t recall the coati scene but I do remember the monkey being killed near instantly as well. Don’t recall if they ended up being dinner but I stand by the point that they are killed vastly more humanely than most of the animals we eat daily. Which is still not me being saying it was right to kill them for a movie scene, but i do see value in that particular controversy.
I loved it follows, has anyone seen the directors follow up? Under the silver lake or something? I’ve been meaning to check it out |
MoM
10.09.22 | @Potsy
I enjoyed Silver Lake. I found it to be a lot of fun and very goofy. If you’ve ever read any of the Illuminatus trilogy, I’d say it’s got a bit of that in its DNA. Like the main character’s on a scavenger hunt/mystery built on a few conspiracy theories. |
PotsyTater
10.09.22 | Thanks 🤙 |
