Post one, two, three, a list, whatever. Feeling kind of down lately and when I feel this way I like watching the most terrifying horror films out there. Please help me feel better!

Thanks!

    There is only one true answer to this question, only one true horror film ever made. Don’t watch it, but even so I will add the title below -

    Eraserhead.

    I’m not a horror fan, but I love the final destination movies. (Maybe they are more a comedy than horror)

    I mean do you want spooky horror or like real life horror, real life I say Come and See, spooky is really hard to call depending on tastes, but John Carpenters The Thing is both creepy and good, Event Horizon might be a good addition too.

    Also, Roar, horrifying in a very unique way

    Exorcist for the mainstream.

    Hereditary for the slightly twisted.

    The Sadness for the truly broken souls.

    EDIT: Some honorable mentions:

    • The Dark and the Wicked
    • The Strangers
    • The House That Jack Built
    • Anything else by Lars von Trier
    • The Mist
    • Evil Dead 2016
    • Event Horizon
    • Night/Dawn of the Dead (honestly I like the DotD remake best)
    • The Last of Us

    EDIT: Forgot to mention Aterrados and When Evil Lurks

    The Return of the Living Dead (1985) - old classic teen gang horror zombs

    The Blob (1988) - acidic

    Sinister(2012) - biggest heart rate bpm jump increase

    The Platform(2019) - good societal critique

    I’m not so easily affected by horror movies.

    The best horrifying movie recently was Sirat. Definitely a must watch for everyone, a groundbreaking film.

    But a stupid movie called the Fall was the toughest watch for me. I guess I’m afraid of heights. It’s not very good though.

      Have to add, “Nuevo Orden”. Didn’t really like the movie that much but have to say it was effective.

        Seconded. I was one of the people that read about it being an anti-censorship statement, and watched it. It’s not so much a movie as it is a series of the worst things the director could think of. Whatever anti-censorship message he tried to get across gets lost quick.

        It’s bad to the point of wasting your time. If you’re still curious, read a synopsis 'cause honestly that’s miles better than sitting through the actual movie.
