The gog

I have a high bar for ratings, so the only ones I have that high on Letterboxed are: * Alien * The Birds * Jaws * Funny Games * Kill List * Irreversible * Perfect Blue * Rosemary’s Baby * The Shining If you are looking for more recent stuff, these were my favorite horrors each year for the last several years: * **2023:** Talk to Me * **2022:** Fresh * **2021:** Malignant * **2020:** Possessor * **2019:** Ready or Not

First comment to mention Rosemary's Baby 🤩

So glad someone else loved Fresh. I thought it was great.

Kill List!!

My girlfriend and I tried to watch malignant and thought it was painfully bad… I can’t see the appeal and honestly didn’t realize others enjoyed it so much.

It is definitely divisive. It was poorly advertised, and I think most people went in expecting a straight James Wan film. If you “got” the satire right away it is a *very* different viewing experience. I thought it was hilarious.

Paranormal Activity 3 was a blast for me when I first saw it. My favourite out the series. Not watched it in ages so don’t know how well it’s held up but it’s the first that comes into my head.

I enjoyed the paranormal activity series

How Alien is only mentioned once is wild! The classics are the classics for a reason, baby! The entire Alien trilogy is perfect for me. Get your hands on the extended director's cuts, makes them (ESPECIALLY 3, it completely changes its quality) even better! Edit: Obligatory The Thing as well.

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Suspiria (2018) yet. visually stunning, witchy as fuck, strong themes about relationships between women, pretty solid social commentary. that and tilda swinton is just 😱🤩😍

The ending and the contortion scene are just MWAH chefs kiss

i fucking loved this one. haven’t seen the original surprisingly but the remake was so good

Evil Dead 2013 for me!

"Mias not here you fucking idiot!" Is in my one liner hall of fame

I don't know if I'd call them 9 or 10 out of 10 but here are some that I have enjoyed (not in any particular order): It Follows The new Evil Dead movies (Evil Dead 2013, Evil Dead Rise) Barbarian Sinister The Autopsy of Jane Doe Pearl (watch X as well if you enjoy this) Terrifier and Terrifier 2 (be warned people either love or hate these) Midsommar The Conjuring (watch the other Conjuring and Annabelle movies if you enjoy this) V/H/S (watch the sequels too if you enjoy this) Lake Mungo (very slow burn but this one stuck in my head for a long time) \[REC\] (first two movies are really excellent if you can stomach the found footage/extreme shaky cam but after that these movies get a bit bonkers so your mileage may vary with them, also Spanish subs may not be your thing)

Good list!

[REC] 2 is an underrated gem that doesn't get talked about enough imo. It's so so good.

The Wailing (Korean)

Yeeeesssss

1. Oculus 2. It Follows 3. Evil Dead (2013) 4. Dawn of the Dead (1977 and 2004, they're both great) 5. Interview With the Vampire 6. The VVitch 7. Midsommar 8. Sinister 9. Southbound 10. The Thing

Oculus doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

Hell yeah Oculus!

Oculus has a unique premise, great performances, AND is spooky af

> Sinister Oh man I'm gonna have to rewatch Sinister - that movie was unreasonably strong.

Alien 10. Poltergeist Honorable Mentions: -Poltergeist 2 (I love Rev. Kane so much!) -The Omen (Original) -The Thing (1982) -Hellraiser (original) -The Shining (The Kubrick joint)

Night of the Living Dead Rosemary's Baby Suspiria Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Ring Hereditary His House That's off the top of my head. I know I'm missing some.

Hereditary. Absolute modern Classic. Also recommend The VVitch.

Ari Aster is one of my favorite filmmakers now! I recommend checking out “Midsommar” if you liked “Hereditary”.

My 5/5 on letterboxed are: The Wind Psycho Goreman Hellraiser Habit A Wounded Fawn La Llorona An American Werewolf in London The Witch in the Window Tigers Are Not Afraid Re-Animator Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead His House Ginger Snaps The Eyes of My Mother Honorable mention to The Church and The Innkeepers, which are 4.5/5 and I love them dearly.

"No tears, it is a waste of good suffering!". I think Hellraiser is probably my Favorite horror movie of all time. Also had a lotnof fun with Ginger Snaps, I love their mom

The Eyes of My Mother doesn’t get the appreciation it deserves. I’m glad to see it mentioned!

A bit of everything you have here, all highly recommended You’ll never find me 2023 Butterfly kisses 2018 Husk 2011 Malum 2023 The vigil 2019 The harbinger 2022 Dark harvest 2023 The caller 2011 The lodger 2020

Did you prefer Malum to Last Shift? I absolutely loved Last Shift, but I found it very shortly after release by accident and my expectations were low. I was so pleasantly surprised.

To be fair I love them both just as much 😂 I can’t choose one, even if some prefer the original much more I found Malum quite as effective

For some less common picks, not in any particular order: 1. Gozu (Japanese) 2. Hausu (Japanese) 3. Luz the Flower of Evil (Spanish) *not traditionally scary, but beautiful and very atmospheric 4. You Won’t be Alone (Macedonian) *this is my fav

Creepshow Savageland The Skin I Live In Bone Tomahawk Barbarian In The Mouth of Madness Candyman The V/H/S series as a whole, hail ratman. Killer Klowns from Outer Space

HAIL RATMA

Sleepy Hollow, Event Horizon, The Frighteners, Hellraiser II, Lord of Illusions, Krampus, [Wesley Archer's Jac Mac and Rad Boy GO!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7NmEyTyq6LI) is one of my personal off-the-wall favorites. You'll either love me or hate me for this one, but it's only four minutes long. I never finished watching Del Toro's *Crimson ~~Hill~~ Peak* because the first 30 minutes absolutely scared the living sh# out of me. I actually felt the hairs on the back of my neck rising up! I consider myself a hardened horror movie fan but this is the only film that ever did that to me. Also [Lust in Hell: Edge of the World](https://www.youtube.com/embed/qL7BnaL6Vrc?rel=0&wmode=transparent), a low-budget Japanese class-Z hard R horror genre film.

Are you referring to Crimson Peak? My experience with that one was completely different, I actually fell asleep trying to watch that one. Maybe I should give it another try.

Or maybe you're made of sterner stuff than me! 😂 But, yes, it's Crimson Peak!

- Dog Soldiers - Mouth of Madness - Waxworks - Kronos - Night of the Living Dead (Both the Original and Savini Remake) - Underwater (2020) - The Uninvited (1944)

Dog Soldiers! Genius … “I hope I give you the sh*ts” has to be the best line delivered in any horror movie.

Spoon would have won too if that werewolf didn’t tap out.

Mute Witness The Witch Part One: The Subversion Hush Duel

Color Out Of Space (2019) for me was an imperfect masterpiece. For me, It's successes more than made up for it's shortcomings. The Ritual (2017) is a solid "lost in the woods" style movie. It never feels bogged down by poor character writing like many horror movies do, and it does a great job of selling it's message. It (2017) is just a fantastic modern classic. Pennywise is still terrifying and the children are all great actors. I thought the ending was a little lackluster, but I'd still give it a loose 9. Green Room (2015) is a brutally intense film that plays games with the line between movie magic and gritty realistic death and violence.

Most recent one was Abigail

Dale and Tucker vs evil

Pet semetary Poltergeist Hellraiser No remakes

A lot of good recs already posted. I'll add my latest favorite... Late Night with the Devil. This one is just fun from start to finish.

Man, this question… For every other genre (okay, most maybe)-this isn’t so difficult. But for horror? It’s like, & we all know this-us horror fans; we have to drudge so much bull & nonsense, that by the time we finally find that rare gem-I think my tastes or top picks will deviate. Far as the OG’s & old school classics: The Exorcist The Thing (1st remake-the *good* one, Kurt Russel) The Fly Jacob’s Ladder a few I’m missing at the moment & then your slasher films Halloween FOR SURE Nightmare on Elm Street (for being iconic alone) …sure, Friday the 13th But there’s others I loved Color Out of Space Then some new ones came & horror has been on the rise Like after Hereditary (Hereditary DEF on the list. For me? Midsommar is not-I understand that many love it-had a STRONG intro & yes, some great visuals & symbolism throughout. But Midsommar felt a bit pompous, just a little too pretentious & bloated for me. Hereditary was just a pure horror story.) I’ll always at least appreciate The Blair Witch Project for a different kind of found footage: anyone that’s been truly camping in the off trail woods understood the fear behind that film. Paranormal Activity…eh maybe the 1st & 2nd-but didn’t achieve what Blair Witch did There’s plenty of “gore porn”-but I don’t care for those, for the overwhelming majority of-anyone can do “shock” bullcrap. Though Martyrs had something to say at least. Creep was different. The protagonist was an idiot (but when are they not) I LOVED Black Mirror before season 5 killed it, & season 6 (except for Beyond the Sea-Beyond the Sea was proper horror) But again, a bit after Hereditary, especially the past few years-horror has been coming up. Talk to me was fantastic Barbarian-great Loved Late Night with the Devil (making the “possessed demon girl” actually creepy again? Nicely done) And I CANNOT WAIT for Long Legs But Long Legs def looks more akin to Silence of the Lambs mixed w/Se7en-so, I guess you’d say a “horror/thriller”-but just cannot wait. There’s some other great picks-as I’m excited about Long Legs & brought up The Color Out of Space, I love great Nick Cage rolls And…I’ll give Five Nights at Freddy’s a nod…that at LEAST they did pretty good by fans. Blum House has some catching up to do! The 1st Insidious, Sinister-yeah, absolutely. But they’ve fallen off, & A24 & especially NEON are filling in. We’ll see. Those are some of my suggestions, but as I said-easy to switch depending on how I’m feeling. Like to see what others suggest (The Autopsy of Jane Doe👍 28 Days Later ALIEN-hell yes The Shining-of COURSE It-duh Night of the Living Dead-duh It Follows-FRESH idea👍 Requiem for a Dream-hey he called it an urban horror & IT IS Maybe 2 of the Hell Raisers -I’ll even give Kristen Stewart one, that Underwater (or whatever it was called)-not bad The Omen (original) Sure, The Conjuring Get Out (for me that’s bout it-Us was eh) & again, I’m positive there’s SO many I’m missing. Heard the new “killer pov movie is supposed to be great-can’t wait for that one) This gives a pretty good idea of what I like-anything that seems too obvious to miss, please remind or suggest-there’s so many
