Please recommend some good horror movies! I'm not interested in anything with subtitles at this moment in time.

I am scrolling through Netflix and similar and, I have seen all of the interesting ones like The Haunting of Bly Manor etc.

Sinners is fantastic. Watch to the post credit sequence which brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you, I'm about to watch it now, looks really good!

Do, it’s a great film. Quite short but well done.

Any more ideas appreciated, esp ghost/intruder type premises!

Edited

efeslight · 06/03/2026 19:44

Yes, Oddity was...odd but entertaining
I liked It Follows and Saint Maud was a good story

ForAmusedHazelQuoter · 06/03/2026 19:32

For something a bit different Stepsister on Shudder is good.

Has oddity been mentioned? That ticks all your boxes.

ForAmusedHazelQuoter · 06/03/2026 18:47

Not quite Horror but Speak no Evil is very good.

Not a film but Archive 81 is scary as shit and so unusual.

Thanks, I'm a huge fan of slightly off the wall, so I'll check it out. I have seen a lot, so some less publicised ones are always a winner for me!

We loved Bring her Back! Also really enjoyed Keeper recently.

Thanks, going to watch Keeper tonight, watched Weapons last night based on recommendations on here; it was really unique, I liked it!

Best horror films I have seen recently:

Good Boy - slow burning horror told from the point of view of the main character - a dog.
Companion - when sex-robots start killing people?
Clown In a Cornfield - 90's style slasher film that includes all the stereotypes.
Sinners - vampires and racism in the deep south.
The Ugly Stepsister - body horror retelling the tale of Cinderella.
Heart Eyes - old fashioned slasher comedy
The Monkey - Stephen King book adaptation with an animated monkey
Dust Bunny - would be a kids fairy tale were it not for the John Wick style ultraviolence.

Descent, veronica, let her out, the pyramid, the shrine, evil dead rise, terrifier trilogy

ithinkilikethislittlelife · 02/03/2026 07:16

More unusual horrors are Strange darling and lowlifes. Enjoyed those.

Salem's Lot
Halloween

I haven't RTFT, but not sure if anyone else has recommended 'Attack of the Killer Tomato's'.

Or maybe not.

Watched 'Bring her Back' last night. It was refreshing; I liked it. Now I need to find something for tonight. After having gone off the horror genre for a long time, my interest is coming back with a vengeance!

Eden Lake is pretty good. The suspense is on point.

As above is also pretty good.
