I love horror but apparently I don’t vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I’d seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn’t find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn’t the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn’t like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

    Some suggestions from my side - in addition to many already posted suggestions I would add to my list as well:

    • The series Twin Peaks (all three seasons plus the feature ‘Fire Walk With Me’) is not 100 % horror but it has it’s tense of mystery and some scary scenes as well

    • Don’t Look Now from 1974 - a classic mystery drama with great Donald Sutherland in the leading role - also more mystery/suspense than horror

    • IT (reboot) - still scarier than the Terrifier movies which are more slasher / fun-splatter

    • Quarantine - until I saw the original ‘REC’

    • Schock - Italian horror movie classic

    • Barbarian - I expected different but I was surprised in a positive way
