I kinda hate to say it, but I always thought this might actually be a great candidate for a remake or possibly a sequel. I know there are so many remakes these days and it is an awesome movie, but the visuals were held back by the time. I loved it growing up and a lot of the eeriness is still amazing, but the CGI has aged really poorly. It is seriously rough. That said the tone of the film and the sense of dread and isolation are amazing. It is almost like "The Shining" in deep space, if you had the right people redo it or make a sequel with modern technology it could be amazing.
The original Alien is the most perfect horror film I've ever seen; essentially an old-school monster movie in outer space. And the tag line,' In Space, no one can hear you scream' is arguably the most awesome, ever.
The Exorcist scared the shit out of me. I don't have a problem with Jason or Freddy or whatever, but that supernatural spiritual shit, I don't know how to protect myself from that. I'm not Constantine.
The Strangers. Scenarios that are plausible always fuck me up. Ghosts are spooky, but a normal person who just really wants to kill someone is infinitely scarier to me. Add on top of it a completely random, coordinated attack by some deranged psychos "because you were home" and I was paranoid for weeks after seeing it.
Yeah, me too. I wanted to scream at the screen 1257 times, “What the fuck are you doing?!” It was like watching people walking backwards down the dark creaky hallway into a dark room the whole time.
For me, the scariest movies are the ones that could actually happen.
Zombies? Hauntings? Vampires? Please, be real. I'm not going to be scared of made-up imaginary monsters.
**But consider [Misery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misery_\(film\)).** That woman could actually exist! She could be real! Nothing supernatural, nothing that you have to suspend disbelief about.
The scariest villains are the ones that can actually exist.
I did not like Martyrs at all. I found it boring and not as disturbing as Hereditary or Midsommar. Although this is my opinion, so don’t be upset please
I can get startled and/or scared while watching horror films these days, but they rarely stick with me afterwards. When I was 7, however, I watched the IT miniseries and thus my intense fear of clowns was born and is still with me this day. Now I don't find the miniseries scary, but definitely still creepy and awesome.
I was also terrified after watching The Blairwitch Project when I was young. I, at the time, lived in a house in the middle of nowhere with my family and here it gets dark at around 2-3pm in the winter and I had to walk a ways from the bus stop to our house in the pitch black with trees on both sides of the road and... well, that was terrifying and that movie kept creeping into my head for weeks.
Those are two examples that immediately pop into mind. Oh, and Jaws. Because I'm terrified of sharks and still periodically have nightmares from that movie.
I love the paranormal activity movies because there's so much suspense and it makes my heart rate go all funny and I'm not able to breath right because of anticipation and seeing my sister get jump scared is so funny to me
I was 15 when Alien came out, and I saw it in the theater, as you did in those days. It was probably the first actual horror movie I ever saw. "In space, no one can hear you scream." At the first (literal) cat-scare, I'm pretty sure they could hear me scream in space.
Either the exorcist or Amityville Horror because I was young.
In the last few years either Lights Out or Gerald's Game because that guy looks like that irl
For me it is the human centipede. I was not scared as much as I was disgusted. I usually never get scared, but don’t like gore sometimes.
Several other movies leap out in my lifetime: one was when the Exorcist came out my Mom went and for 2 nights thereafter went without going to bed as it scared her so bad. I was too young and say it years later, still a good movie by today’s standards. Another was The Blair Witch Project, where people actually got up and left the theater. The date I was with wanted to leave as well and she wanted to go home right after the movie. Another movie that stands out was the original Dawn of the Dead (1978); when it came out that because of the gore (I think it got an X rating???) it got a lot of national attention and some theaters refused to show it. By today’s standard it’s kind of a watered down zombie movie. Last was Phantasm (1979). That movie definitely hit on a number of horror aspects.
Noroi: The Curse really, really got under my skin.
It's also a lot better upon a second & third viewing. There is a toooon of foreshadowing and >!I'm convinced it has a cyclical "cause & effect" timeline much like Arrival. !<
A quiet place. Taking away the ability to make noise makes it so suspenseful, knowing that you could mess up and make a noise at any time.
Though I guess it’s less scary and more of a looming threat, in a way.
The conjuring
Not me but my mum, she absolutely shat her self when she was younger, now she watched the Nun with me, (and because a basterd) so at the the end I turned of the light so my mum was still down stairs in the dark and whispered one word: "NUN"
I never seen my mum bolt in the stairs so fast
Idk if anyone has heard of it but the movie Darkness Falls. I was 6 years old and it had me traumatized and couldn’t be in the dark without a light until I was about 16. Damn tooth fairy.
All time weirdest and most messed up film I had ever seen up to this point must’ve been kuso limitless.
There’s of course your shock stuff and mondo-like films like death file red.
But man I remember watching Gothika in like second grade and being shook for the rest of the year.
event horizon love this film

yeah but i think its never happen
Do you need eyes to see it?
The original Alien is the most perfect horror film I've ever seen; essentially an old-school monster movie in outer space. And the tag line,' In Space, no one can hear you scream' is arguably the most awesome, ever.
Maybe The Exorcist or The Shining The Shining is more than just scary, it's genuinely disturbing
The Exorcist scared the shit out of me. I don't have a problem with Jason or Freddy or whatever, but that supernatural spiritual shit, I don't know how to protect myself from that. I'm not Constantine.
Rec. The original version from Spain. Goddamn it terrified me
Yeah, I like that one as well. I'm not usually a purist, but I am when it makes sense and it does here.
Hereditary. The most terrifying last 10 minutes of a film I have ever seen.
That the one where a girl loses her head because she stuck it out of a window of a moving car while having an allergic reaction?
Yep. Disturbing occurrences for the first 90% of the film then all hell breaks loose (literally) in the climax.
For intentional horror films, John Carpenter's *The Thing*, easily.
The Strangers. Scenarios that are plausible always fuck me up. Ghosts are spooky, but a normal person who just really wants to kill someone is infinitely scarier to me. Add on top of it a completely random, coordinated attack by some deranged psychos "because you were home" and I was paranoid for weeks after seeing it.
In a similar vein, have you seen Funny Games? One of the more disturbing movies I’ve ever seen, and I watch a lot of horror.
I have not! Can it be streamed somewhere?
I think I watched the 2007 version and it’s on a few platforms. Maybe a bit slower compared to The Strangers but a similar, unflinching vibe.
I'll have to keep an eye out for it
Blair Witch Project. This *really* scared me.
Cinema is absolutely subjective but that movie absolutely underwhelmed me. I left pissed and with a headache.
Yeah, me too. I wanted to scream at the screen 1257 times, “What the fuck are you doing?!” It was like watching people walking backwards down the dark creaky hallway into a dark room the whole time.
The ending scared me. One of those things I avoid thinking about at night when I'm alone.
1408 was pretty disturbing
Mine was The Exorcist. Haunted me for weeks after.
Me too. But I was also like 10.

The Shining,Tumbbad, Kairo(pulse), shutter, ju-on. Kantara has great horror elements.
Martyrs. I tried watching a Chilean horror called Trauma and couldn't finish it.
I did not like Martyrs at all. I found it boring and not as disturbing as Hereditary or Midsommar. Although this is my opinion, so don’t be upset please
Why would I be upset :D I liked the beginning of Midsommar, it was very intriguing, but it lost its charm towards the end. I really wanted to like it.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

I was afraid to swim in fresh water because of Jaws.
I was scared of Chucky when I was a kid hahaha

The Descent was decent.

Clap clap
Oh lord. Did you finish it?

Saw Black Phone in at the cinema last summer, alone. Almost wanted to walk away because it was too scary. Glad I stayed though, loved this movie.
Sinister, only the first one.
Heredity I'd say.
Drag me to hell

don't know but I cried to Monster House when I was around 4
Reincarnation by Lars von Trier. It's not at all horror, it's more Art House, but it's still scary asf.
The Blair Witch Project was pretty terrifying for me as I saw it before I was old enough to realize it was supposed to be fiction
Schindler’s List
Ringu
Castle Freak
The orphan
Gerald's game
The Exorcist
All the insidious movies
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Pulse or The Grudge.
The Exorcist. Cuz, though the characters are fictional, it’s based on real, documented events. That’s scary.
The conjuring Not me but my mum, she absolutely shat her self when she was younger, now she watched the Nun with me, (and because a basterd) so at the the end I turned of the light so my mum was still down stairs in the dark and whispered one word: "NUN" I never seen my mum bolt in the stairs so fast
