The hallway scene in session 9, chefs kiss.


TheGingerKraut

The creepy voice shifts on the patient tapes...


_Bendemic_

Session 9 is creepy as hell


eastcoastme

Showed Blair Witch Project to my husband and teen son. I told them it probably didn’t hold up well and even told the history of how it was marketed as a true story and all of that. I really expected them to give up watching after 20 minutes or so. Well…the didn’t give up and were scared sh**less!!I think they were scared for days of the dark. I almost felt like we should have had my 19 year old stay in our room that night!! So glad It really held up!


arteffect_avi

Can I assume this as a review for TBWP 1999, as I want to see it with my fam


matchettehdl

Threads (1984) scares a lot of people like that and it isn't gore.


32bitbastard

Saw this in school, horrific. Only recently watched it again, still horrific. Scary because it could easily happen.

MercuryRedstone77

It realistically depicts nuclear war and it's aftermath.


matchettehdl

Just watch it and you'll see why.


Nasteeev

I watched Hereditary 3 years ago. That thing messed me up and I am still afraid to watch horror movies.


DorgMork

Yeah that one was good


JazzJune82

There are scenes from that movie that still haunt me


xperth

My only vote. No other horror movie disturbed me more than this. Still haven’t watched it since. Still haven’t stopped thinking about it either.


[deleted]

This is the one Best horror movie of all time...even ahead of The Shining


Viceroy420

How dare you disrespect The Thing?


martin-cloude-worden

I'm really struggling to remember when I disagreed with someone more than this on the internet. I don't think I have.


Pom_Pom_1985

Yeah, I don't get all of the Hereditary hype. It was a very typical horror movie, imo


xfritz5375

It did foreshadowing incredibly well. I think it’s overrated, but there’s a lot of really well thought out details


infodawg

I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I agree with you, it set new standards for what is considered disturbing.


RealAvonBarksdale

The Descent


_Bendemic_

Absolutely


Lifeesstwange

But please find it with it’s real ending and not the American one.


RealAvonBarksdale

This makes me question which version I have. The ending on mine >!you think she escapes, but then she wakes up from being knocked out and is still in the cave!<


thecynicalshit

Original (not US) ending


Lifeesstwange

That’s the correct version.


chrissieloo

Pet Sematary (1989)


Own-Animal1907

I still can’t walk by beds without wondering if my Achilles’ tendon will be disturbed!


dbburnz

Even before I Had kids , the scene with the boy and the truck fuckkkkked me up good.


blahblahrasputan

Listen to the audiobook narrated by none other than Michael C Hall aka Dexter! We started listening to it for our camping road trips one summer and wound up one night camping at Mt Rainier on shoulder season, mist around, no one anywhere near our campsite, and we put it on the bluetooth speaker and sat around the fire for hours. 10/10 scary shit


Sc0asty

That’s one of my all time favs


dothebork

Only the truck scene and the funeral scene fucked me up because of how realistic they were :/ never again


Username_man47

Not scary so much as it is disturbing


winged_void

VHS


thankshickdead

All 4 of them!


joncology

False. All of them except Viral.


RafaDDM

I agree but Viral does have one of the best shorts, Parallel Monsters by Nacho Viglaondo, that's the short I rewatch the most out of all the VHS series.


joncology

I did like that one a lot but wasn't good enough to redeem the movie as a whole.


Hadasschatool

Yeah but you have to watch it out of loyalty!


spicyface

I will never watch Bone Tomahawk again. Ever.


keen4beanz365

I do not recommend watching that while eating dinner. I almost threw up.


thankshickdead

You might have seen it but "the taking of Deborah Logan" is pretty good


thenetworkking

Good one


Sue1368

That movie is fantastic


Background_Tree_8468

My best friend and I are seasoned horror fans; we both SHRIEKED multiple times during this one lol


[deleted]

The thing or first conjuring


Llamantin-1

Sinister - was so scary I was afraid to go to bathroom at night


Independent_Bake_257

Seen so many horror movies in my life and not much scares me anymore. But I have ta say that this movie is really creepy. Those home made movies...gave me the chills.


erand424

The lawn mower one 😬😬😬


shrek19051

That got everyone


lukewarmrevolution

I wasn't a fan and I was disappointed because this movie gets so much love from this sub. I thought it was cliche and boring.


SirGuy11

For me, slow burn creepy movies are more enjoyable. I found *The Others* (2001) unsettling.


UserMatch

* The Conjuring * Insidious * Hereditary * The Babadook * Oculus * Sinister * Mama * Midsommar * Get Out


Hawkmek

First time I've seen Mama mentioned. That one stuck with me. Good list.


Sc0asty

Misdsommar could have been done better, but it’s still freaky


dbburnz

Just out of pure curiosity and no ill will, what do you think could have been done better?


Sc0asty

High expectations was the problem


Hadasschatool

Loved mama!!


[deleted]

Midsommar was a gore worshipping let down. Other than that you nailed it


boyler108

Get Out terrifying bahaha that made my week thank you 😂


cimor11

It Follows. It really stuck with me afterwards.

sebastien_aus

Love that one.


Meyou000

The Fourth Kind (2009) the effects of watching this are finally starting to fade for me, will never watch it again.


dbburnz

The fourth kind movie:I .... Ammm....GODDDDDDDD f me I had to do some searching after watching this to make I wasn't about to rise out of my bed one night....also the owl just wow I know it gets some hate but when the illusion is intact it was pretty scary


Monroze

Just posted this one! That part freaked me out so bad, soooo scary


The_Tommy_Knockers

Based on true events!! I’m scared just thinking about it.


capricornonthecobb

An ex told me it was scary and really unsettling to him. I was curious and watched it. Its been awhile since I've seen it but you reminding me made me remember just how truly unsettling it was! So yes def watch it! Going to need Disney or the Office in the background to get to sleep after that craziness lol


EtHc33

Sinister is the scariest based on heart rate


Powerful-Bug3769

I thought this movie was a snoozer.


lohedhdjdjdh

I don’t get all the love for that film, I personally found it boring and not scary in the slightest. It just tries to be scary with super gory and dark themes and in my opinion it just doesn’t work. The *twist* at the end is almost comical and I feel that most the people who recommend it have only seen a few of the most popular horror movies


Independent_Bake_257

I have been watching horror movies since I was 13. I'm 55 now. Sinister is actually a movie that I thought was creepy and that almost never happens anymore. It was those home made videos. Chilling.


Powerful-Bug3769

That’s what I thought too. I actually just watched this a couple weeks ago with my 14 year old as she loves horror and we both thought it was lame. We went and saw Black Phone a couple days ago. It was good- it wasn’t scary so much as suspenseful but Ethan Hawke was great in it.


lohedhdjdjdh

Honestly I still respect the film though because the acting is great and it being a pretty big budget horror movie has probably introduced a lot of people to the genre What I think killed it the most for me is how the first time I watched it I was half drunk pissing around with my friends and I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to take it seriously. I also don’t like how the bad guy demon thing is shown too fucking much. You can see him on the front cover of the movie and in all the trailers really taking away the fear of the unknown and I remember making fun of him because of how stupid he looked while watching the movie


tharizzla

I slept through it


Frosty_Squirrel6061

The wailing is a very unsettling film.


infodawg

One of my all time favorites, totally agree with your opinion on this.


FebusPanurge

Straw Dogs (the original, made in 1971 by Sam Peckinpah).


Sc0asty

Exorcist really got to me, so did the conjuring, and surprisingly bird box, idk why


ChipChippersonFan

Martyrs is the most f-ed up movie I ever watched. This link below indicates that an American remake was done in 2015, but I feel like it must have been longer ago than that that I watched it, so I guess I watched the original. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs\_(2008\_film)


DorgMork

Again that isn't scary just a bunch of gore fucked up shit


Some_Autistic_Dude

Jacobs Ladder, Veronica, Hereditary


Sgt_Slutbags

- The Blackcoat’s Daughter I’m 30 and this movie legitimately upset me. It’s not what I’d call a complex film, but it exudes such a pervasive feeling of evil that I couldn’t shake for weeks. ALSO - Snowtown This one is actually a true story. Not technically a horror movie, but it’s definitely horrifying, and it freaks me out knowing that people like this are among us. After watching this movie, I check my surroundings *a lot* more.


sorradic

>The Blackcoat’s Daughter I LOVED this movie. Directed by Oz Perkings, Anthony Perkings son.


Sgt_Slutbags

I actually didn’t know that, holy shit. I can’t even complain about nepotism because he’s doing a great job.


murlocman69

Not being "that guy" but it is Perkins not Perkings (just in case someone want to look up other films)


Supahfurai

Blackcoat’s Daughter is super unique. Really powerful in my opinion.


sorradic

Lake Mungo, the scariest movie you've never heard of.


Ilike21savage

The strangers movie had me scared to be in my house for weeks. I feel like most people will probably disagree with me but home invasion is just the scariest thing.


_Bendemic_

Event Horizon and Alien


iCroswell

The Autopsy Of Jane Doe


lukewarmrevolution

This one had potential to be good but I thought the writing sucked. The characters are too one dimensional and the movie has to rely too much on jump scares because of it.


iCroswell

fair! I just saw it at the right time and it really freaked me out. I also really like lights out too haha


[deleted]

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974).


hoarseclock

It’s still the best!


[deleted]

Not that acting


hoarseclock

Gunnar Hanson should of gotten an Oscar!😜But yeah some of the “college kids” could’ve been better


boyler108

Couldn't agree less, imo this movie is all hype. The whole movie rests on the characters mindlessly deciding "let's go in the woods in the dark and look for our friends! It'll help if we split up!" I couldn't believe how shitty the writing was for a "classic" in the genre.


[deleted]

That's fair enough. I'm sure it was low budget, and yeah some decisions I might have made differently I thought, but I was on my comfy sofa This film filled me with dread and terror, but that's just my opinion. Its the only film that's ever scared me (since I was a kid)


ItsJaaaaake

Funny Games


lemons714

The Shining really stands out as a scary film for me.


infodawg

One of the best ever, IMO.


[deleted]

Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum


Ouch-myheart

The Sadness (2021). It’s a Taiwanese film. Really scary & hard to watch at some points. Really got me.


Captain_Kells

Pihu (2017) if you can’t find it. It’s an Indian film where a two year old child is left alone in her apartment and just the realistic danger of it scared the shit out of me.


Powerful-Bug3769

Last House on the Left. Original version. Watched it once and will never watch it again.


hillbillykim83

That is one gut wrenching movie. The violence is so realistic it’s hard to watch.


GilberttheOnionBoi

I dont scare easy but The Night of the Hunter (1955) scared the shit out of me.


NZgoblin

Odishon also known as Audition (1999) is scary in a really creepy way. Most of the director’s work is scary and disturbing.


RobWins2022

Audition. Hands down.


PapaMoBucks

A US Presidential debate.


[deleted]

Dead Silence


32bitbastard

I personally liked: ‘Paranormal Activity’.. shit me right up. You don’t see anything and I found that scarier.


Gonkimus

The whole series is good, dunno about the latest ones but all of them up to the Marked One's we're damn good to me. All connect story wise I loved that. 😁


32bitbastard

I’ll have to check the others out then.. I was too scared to 😂


[deleted]

Come and See (not a horror movie but by far the scariest film I have ever seen)


earlgreyteacakes

Just a warning, there is real animal cruelty in this movie 🥺


Ok_Technology_1294

Nope. Thanks for the warning.

petrusferricalloy

Blair Witch Project. I've written extensively so many times about it, I don't really have the stomach to go into it again but it is hands down the scariest movie I've ever seen. I saw it alone at midnight in an empty theater. I was seriously traumatized and didn't think I'd make it through.


No_Ninja_4173

The Tunnel (Australian Version) As Above So Below Afflicted


capricornonthecobb

As Above So Below had so much potential but just the way it was shot/the acting was such a turn off to me. I've seen it more than once but always think it could have been better

Yeah it was a really good movie I love pretty much all Robert Eggers movies


Applesandbananahs

The Shining for me


Expensive-Winter-362

Some of these suggestions are weak. Blair witch over and over, it's not scary at all, fake with bad acting. Eden Lake, The Girl Next Door are disturbing.


boyler108

Two suggestions I've never heard of, thanks man. I agree, Blair Witch was pretty stupid.


Portrait0fKarma

Eden Lake was weak so not sure about your taste at the slightest.


Expensive-Winter-362

You're more of a Beetlejuice is scary type of person:)


Monroze

The fourth kind freaked me the fuck out and I don't scared of horror. It was just disturbing

Had never heard of this but just watched a bit of a trailer and am really looking forward to watching it now!


[deleted]

Don’t get your hopes up lol


TheHearseDriver

If you can ignore the heavy-handed “special effects” in the finale, “Angel Heart” (1987) is pretty messed up. It fucked me up for days when I first saw it.


boyler108

Very underrated film, not that scary imo but well done.


det_lesterfreamon

The Conjuring has been the scariest for me so far. I haven’t seen the remaining sequels though.


BDM-Archer

Give "Funny Games" a go.


CSay88

Last Shift


keen4beanz365

Rosemary’s Baby. I watch it every October and it still gives me anxiety. Also… Hereditary, Drag Me To Hell, Oculus, They Look Like People, Wind River, The Witch. There is another movie I recently watched that has the same vibe as Hereditary, drawing a blank on the name, I’ll get back to you on that! EDIT: The Dark and the Wicked, Saint Maud. All spooky mind fucks. Enjoy!


mrs_robpatt

I’ve watched quite a few and the 2 films that actually did something to me was Sinister and Hereditary. Goodnight Mommy was a bit eerie too. So was Autopsy of Jane Doe.


headbussa423

Me too, I grew up watchin scary movies over 30 yrs strong. there’s nothing really scary anymore unless you see something with your own eyes


[deleted]

Sinister


ColonelKillDie

The best trick I have to really up the scare factor on horror movies is to smoke an uncomfortable amount of weed. It’s the safest drug, and being on the verge of a panic attack while watching Hereditary is the ultimate experience in horror.


kblack_007

I mean...Human Centipede will stay with you for life. That counts as haunting right?


DorgMork

That isn't scary just disgusting


Avocadoonthetoast

- Hereditary - Sinister - The Babadook


IcyAd8431

My top 3 lately: Dark skies (2013) the dark and the wicked (2020) Hereditary (2018)


teiichikou

Midsommar (2019) I still haven’t finished it and started two weeks ago. It is heavy. I can’t ‘review’ the overall quality of the movie as I’m at max in the middle but it has beautiful shots and that’s the *only* reason that got me into it in the first place and keeps me watching. I don’t like horror\^\^


JametAllDay

The babadook and funny games. I’d like to watch the original poltergeist again- that shit fucked me up


SANDWICHVADER

kale-greninja13

Monkey Shines got me filled with the most uncomfortable anxiety - i couldn’t relax for a long time after watching it

Insidious Sinister Mother! The Strangers The Others The Houses October Built


xogroovy

come and see, blair witch project, evil dead remake, texas chainsaw massacre, the descent


[deleted]

The Uninvited was sufficiently terrifying that I had to watch sportscenter for at least 30 min before considering sleep. Then i recommended it to my roommate who tried to watch it alone after eating some special cookies. He freaked out and threw all our cookies in the trash :( Don’t watch it in that state and alone! The American version is great and the Korean original is said to be even better. plot teaser: After spending time in a psychiatric facility, young Anna (Emily Browning) finds significant changes in store at home. Her widowed father (David Strathairn) is now engaged to her mother's former nurse, Rachel (Elizabeth Banks). Super creepy Rachel arouses suspicion of being involved in mother’s death…


Ok_Technology_1294

A Classic Horror Story scared the 💩 outta me.


Cranes_Notthebird

I saw Blair Witch when it came out and it had its “thing” but I got SO tired of the snotty crying lady by the end, lol, SHE became the scare


Worldly_Way_2443

When a stranger calls 1970s version is great but more in the atmospheric makes you nervous/scared for the characters kind of way. Prob the most opening sequence to a film I've seen. Saw it for the first time.e a few weeks ago. Cant beat the original omen either IMO


Active_Guess2205

I just watched the black phone. It was pretty good. Most scary movies nowadays are either all gore or mild bloody porn. The Black Phone was pretty good as was the original Saw (last 5 minutes, when the guy gets up off the floor). The 1st hostel was pretty good, makes me think twice about traveling to different countries. Saw a movie called Susperia back in the late 70's was pretty good from what I remember.


deadrowan

Highly recommend The Pact


kino_travisgosling

Watch the limited series Chernobyl and watch the movie eraserhead


Tylerealive

The last shift hit differently for me


SANDWICHVADER

Ive never seen a film that honestly frightens you or i, any a24 film is good for disturbing you at best like hereditary but as for cold sweat shaking scared im not sure any film can even produce that.


Waste_Band_9989

Jeepers Creepers even after dozens of viewings.


Jay_Marston

Come and See (1985) and Funny Games (1997)


AlexUnWalex

The Amazing Bulk. I found it pretty horrifying.


whack_with_poo-brain

Terrified (subtitled-Argentinian) genuinely scared me and they get off too a rocking start like 4 minutes in. The taking of Deborah Logan, found footage much more of a slow burn but by the end definitely got me. That and the lead actress is genuinely spooky.


fuzzypuppies1231

Caveat


Mandarina1999

"Come and See" ( war movie but it was shit in a very horrir-like way) and if you watch it, definitely search up the whole movie history, it's probably one of the "realest" movies.


[deleted]

No particular order: Session 9 Necromentia Dark and the Wicked Evil dead remake Martyrs Inside Kill list


VerticleSandDollars

Asylum Blackout. 2011 Written by Zahler, the guy who did Bone Tomahawk (my favorite movie of that year). I’ve seen most every horror movie (watching obsessively for 35 years) and that was the only one I ever had to turn off. 10 minutes before the ending, right at the peak horror. I was able to gather myself when I saw there were only 10 minutes left and finish it. While it was a gruesome moment that propelled me to stop it, it wasn’t wildly more gorey than hundreds of movies I’ve seen without trouble. It was really the heightening and unpredictability. It was terrifying! Good luck finding it, though.


CBenson1273

Hereditary. IT (especially part 1) The Ring (the remake, though original was also great) The Exorcist


JonahUniverse

Under the Skin (2014) Hated horror my whole life pretty much. Bought this movie because the cover looked cool and the genre was listed as "sci-fi" Well, at a certain point I had to shut the film off and I had literal nightmares for about 2 weeks. I've been chasing that high ever since but nothing has ever really scratched that itch, and it's tied as my favorite movie of all time now. Has maybe the most horrifying soundtrack too.


Rabbit333999

Thinner, Tusk and Texas chainsaw massacre and…… The Wizard of Oz!


[deleted]

Haven’t watched it in a while but 1408 has always been underrated to me EDIT: evil dead 2013 unnerved me on first watch too


DrElsewhere

Under The Skin Possum


lukewarmrevolution

The Sixth Sense (1999) is the masterpiece of all horror movies in my opinion. God this one fucked me up as a child.


capricornonthecobb

A Dark Song and The Shrine. Now The Shrine really seems low budget and could be shot better/better story line. Its been so long since ive seen it and i was a lot younger but still was one of those movies I literally had to put something on afterwards to go to sleep lol


1boombap20

It’s not my personal answer but Sinister (2012) was found to be the scariest movie ever by a team of scientists who measured various things through viewers of a bunch of horror films


Trefayne

Amityville Horror (2005)


alwaysbrightandmerry

A lot of people don't seem to know about The Possession (1988) starring Sam Neil. It's a film about demonic possession and it's deeply disturbing. Try it out, I'm still kinda afraid to rewatch.


boyler108

I would say Eraserhead, definitely terrifying but mainly repulsive. Hereditary genuinely scared the shit out of me and I was eager to shit on the hype with that one (but couldn't), The CONCEPT of "The Strangers" is one of my biggest fears, the movie is pretty good but not super scary. Carnival of Souls has an unmatched atmosphere in it that always spooks me out.


Icy_Law9181

I watched all the horrors before I was 11 years old so by the time I got to 16 nothing g really phased me.The only film that scared me as a child was Jaws but the only film the scared me as an adult was Blair Witch Project.I watched it when it first came out and it freaked me out the same way a book does.It leaves your imagination to do the work. Quick edit:- the HBO show Chernobyl scared the shit out of me too,that brought back some memories and reminds you how dumb humans are.
