...to ask you to recommend a spooky film?

[LemonsLemonsLemonsLemons]

I’m planning a Halloweeny evening in, and want a good film to watch. Not horror or gore - more of a psychological thriller, along the lines of Gone Girl, Girl on a Train, or to give an old school example, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[Celestia26]

Berberian Sound Studio. My God is it creepy! Psychological and dark, with the amazing Toby Jones.

Just don't watch it alone!!!

I suddenly recalled this movie with Oliver Reed. Hammer films were my Friday night treat as a teenager.

I am absolutely loving these suggestions! Thank you so much - I feel a serious movie binge coming on...

God yes Funny Games unsettled me for a while after I saw it.

[Scoogle]

Funny Games. Psychological thriller. Utterly terrifying. Stayed with me ever since.

[bumblenbean]

Oh my god ghost watch!! I saw that aged about 10, seriously disturbed me!!

The woman in black is a spooky watch ...
The changeling
Annabelle

The Wicker Man is a great one too, if you've never seen it. Love a classic. Christopher Lee is brilliant.

[mathanxiety]

The Ruling Class starting Peter O'Toole. Very creepy.

[Darkautumn]

The Boy! It's on Netflix. Chilling and a surprise ending

[ScrambledSmegs]

The Haunting - the 1963 film, not the 90s abomination. It might be a bit too non-gore and psychological though.

Wouldn't recommend Suspiria, despite it being a classic of the genre and really enjoyable. It's very gory!

[ElizavetaBathory]

@lavenderbongo Ghostwatch! Terrifying. Never looked at my cat in the same way again 😂

[haverhill]

Suspiria isn’t just spooky, it’s horrific (in a brilliant way).
The Innocents
The Haunting (original) is not remotely gory but still one of the scariest films I’ve seen.

[beepbeeprichie]

Frailty with Matthew McConachy was excellent. Bill Paxton in it too I think.

[Funnyface1]

Stir of echoes. I like a bit of Kevin Bacon.

[Fresta]

The village ?

[FlosCampi]

What lies beneath, I agree. Or try the Awakening, set in a remote boarding school after ww1, Dominic West and a female paranormal investigator, lots of haunting wintry scenery and a terrifying dolls house.

[lavenderbongo]

I liked that BBC program they did in the early 90s where PArkinson got possessed and it had Sarah Green in - can’t remember the name!

The Ring
The Others
Jeepers Creepers
Drag me to Hell

[SaucyJack]

Black Swan

Don`t be afraid of the dark 1973 version. And no I could never watch it again, had nightmares for ages on and off.

The one that properly freaked me out without even a hint of gore was the bbc adaptation of The Turn of the Screw with Jodhi May in the lead role. I think it was remade a couple of years ago with Michelle Dockery from Downton Abbey in it. So scary.

[Solenti]

Also if you have Netfix then 1922 was good.

[dontalltalkatonce]

Definitely Skeleton Key and Room 1408

[Pizzamyhart]

The Uninvited
