To ask what is the best scary movie you have seen?

[StarlightIntheNight]

Since its close to Halloween and all :) Please tell me the best scary movie you have seen recently and even better if it is on netflix!

'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' is delightfully creepy and scary.

*A Suburbian Film.

Don't watch it, it's the darkest and most horrific horror I've ever come across with no limits. A newborn baby is raped, for example*

How is that entertainment? Definitely wouldn't want to watch that, thanks for the heads up.

Glad others have mentioned Eden Lake, really stayed with me, I think because as others have said, you can see it could happen!

I LOVED the haunting of hill house, really emotionally effected me.

The original Blair witch project also gets me, mainly as I have a vivid imagination and have to spend time in the dark in wooded fields rounding up horses I think... always think of it!

A Suburbian Film.

I think this is meant to be A Serbian Film. Although suburbia is pretty terrifying too

My list would be:

It Follows
Halloween (original)
Shutter (original Thai film)
The Witch
The Thing
Train to Busan
28 Days Later
VHS 1 & 2
Cloverfield
Devil
The Fourth Kind
REC 1 & 2 (original Spanish films)
The Mist

I was also going to post a warning re: A Serbian Film, as I saw it mentioned above.

No, I’ve never watched it, but was damn near traumatised reading about it! If you read any synopsis it sounds like the most horrific and depraved thing ever. As a PP, not sure how it passes as entertainment.

A serbian film and Martyrs are both repulsive.

The orphanage - Spanish film by the guy who did pans labyrinth... chilling!

@EscapeTheCastle

Oh I did not know that!
I thought it was a Netflix Original and therefor must have been available on UK Netflix as well.

In my country of origin it was available on Netflix already 5 years ago

I absolutely love a good horror thread. My favourites:

The Loved Ones.
Train To Busan.
Martyrs (original).
Inside (original)).
American Mary.
Bone Tomahawk.
La Casa Muda.
Lovely Molly.
Them.
High Tension.
The Collector.
Absentia.
Sinister.
Frontier(s).
Jug Face.
Eden Lake.
A Tale of Two Sisters.
The Innkeepers.
P2.
Rec.
Apostle.
Hereditary.
The Orphanage.
The Devils Backbone.
Happy Hunting.
The Devils Candy.
The Ruins.
The Woman.
Citadel.
Splinter.
Creep (2004).
May.
In Fear.
House of 1000 Corpses.
The Hills Have Eyes (remake).
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
The Children.
Better Watch Out.

As everyone keeps mentioning it, A Serbian Film has a revolting subject matter, but it was shot beautifully and the lead actor was absolutely astounding, so credit where credit's due.

Can I add Hell House and Grave Encounters to my list? Both should technically be terrible as the subject matters are done to death, but they are genuinely scary.

I second Better Watch Out, The Descent and The Others.

And House on Haunted Hill (the remake with Geoffrey Rush and Famke Jannsen).

Drag me to hell is hilarious! The stapler!!! 🤣🤣🤣

The Pact freaked me the fuck out

Annabelle creation

@namechangetheworld i loved American Mary.

Actually Netflix has a lot of decent horror films.Worth searching for them.

Ooh I love horror! I haven't read all of the posts so I might be repeating some but I love:
The original Halloween 1&2 (and the remake. In fact all of them lol)
Friday the 13th
Scream (all of them)
Orphan
House of 1000 corpses
Nightmare on elm street (all of them lol)
Texas chainsaw massacre
The Saw films
The final destination films
The insidious films
The conjuring 1&2
Annabelle creation
Sinister
Silent hill
The collector and the collection
The skeleton key
Matriarch
The clovehitch killer
Ghostland
The ring

I am a wimp when it comes to supernatural horrors though

The Exorcist - still terrifying
It follows
Poltergeist
The shining
Bird box
The exorcism of Emily rose
The paranormal activity films

There's probably more, I love a horror

This is one of the best.

Creep the underground station one
Martyrs French one
Wolf creek
Hellraiser
Sinister
The ring
Audition
Insideus all of them
The nun
Crucifixion
It the orioriginal
Scream
Mara
The dark
Evil dead

I have more just can't think .

Oh I forgot silent hill and house of 1000 corpses

The Woman in Black.
Creep.
Wolf Creek.
An American Werewolf in London (although I'd say this was more of a comedy/horror than an outright horror film).

@PumpkinPieAlibi I'm so glad you listed The Fourth Kind. I see every movie that comes out in the cinema and love horror - can watch anything at all, and can honestly say that The Fourth Kind is the only movie that has ever frightened me! I had forgotten the name of it since I watched it years ago, and I'm so glad you've reminded me of it!
