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.

I watched the Babadook recently, scared the B'jeezus out of me.

KatiePricesKnickers · 25/02/2026 17:22

The Babadook is terrifying, as is The Descent.
It Follows also great.

Needhelp101 · 25/02/2026 16:41

Sinners! Absolutely amazing.
Also second The Descent.

All the best horror is about grief.

ApocalypseNowt · 25/02/2026 16:28

I really liked It Follows too

ApocalypseNowt · 25/02/2026 16:27

Black Phone was pretty decent.

Not a film but have you tried Mike Flanagan's other series, The Fall of the House of Usher, Haunting of Hill House. Etc

Drag me to Hell slightly funny spooky
The Ring- downright unsettling
Zombieland- very funny

The mist by Stephen king gives me the heebie jeebies

The Descent is brilliant

Sinners is amazing, I enjoyed Shelby oaks too, and The autopsy of Jane doe

Ooooh, second The Autopsy of Jane Doe - really creepy.

Have you seen Midsommar? I thought that was great. A lot of folk liked Hereditary, too - by the same director. I wasn't mad keen but I'd give it another go.

Have you seen Sinners?

It is partly horror. And has sixteen Oscar nominations.

Available on at least one of the streaming platforms.

The visit, knock at the cabin, cabin in the woods, Saw films. What sort do you like? Abigail has just come to Netflix and I love that one. It’s humorous, serious and gory.
