Or any terrifying TV shows would also be good. Thanks in advance!

Sinister. Probably one of the most horrible horror films I've seen.

Ylfa · 25/10/2019 14:18

Let’s have a little google of Sinister . . . thanks!

I've seen nearly all the really scary ones,following for some new film ideas
.

Wildcat88 · 25/10/2019 14:19

The Ring. Still freaked out by it years and years later

Sunflowersok · 25/10/2019 14:20

The Strangers really got to me. And the first insidious film

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:21

I got a stress migraine after the Blair witch project

OpportunityKnocks · 25/10/2019 14:21

The ring.
Still can't watch it. Terrified me.
It wasn't even the original version!

LendAnEar · 25/10/2019 14:21

For a TV series - Haunting on hill house. A bit slow to start with but very scary!

MellowBird85 · 25/10/2019 14:22

Martyrs. It’s extremely hard to watch.

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:23

Martyrs is disgusting. Hounds of love similarly hard to watch but not scary scary iyswim.

The original ring was really scary i agree

Ylfa · 25/10/2019 14:23

The Blair Witch really fucked me up at the time, rewatched recently and nothing!

The Ring was great! Haven’t seen Strangers or Insidious so they’re going on the list 😀

The exorcism of Emily rose has stuck with me for years

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:25

Yeah not sure I'd find it scary second time around. I thought Hereditary was quite scary. Also The Witch! That was great.

Ylfa · 25/10/2019 14:25

Oh haunting of hill house was incredible, but heart breaking. I thought it was even better than the book 😮

Martyrs sounds promising!

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:25

And It Follows

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:26

Martyrs isn't scary but it is repulsive

Ylfa · 25/10/2019 14:26

Hereditary had that one 😮 scene which will stay with me forever and ever and ever but the ending ????? why!

Films: Insidious, took me three times to watch it all the way through. Also Martyrs and The Ring left me unable to sleep.
TV Shows: Scream, any of the old Twillight Zones, Masters of Horror.

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 25/10/2019 14:27

I found martyrs both scary and repulsive. I was going to say Sinister. Scared the bejesus out of me

gamerchick · 25/10/2019 14:27

There isn't any Angry

Australian horrors are your best bet. They really push the taboos in films. The only ones that come close to me feeling it in my guts.

FishCanFly · 25/10/2019 14:27

The War Game. Not horror but scared the piss out of me.

hazeljo · 25/10/2019 14:27

Eden Lake really terrified me because it's something you could imagine actually happening

Trewser · 25/10/2019 14:27

If you are insistent about watching Martyrs at least watch the original French version

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 25/10/2019 14:27

Yes to It Follows. Great film!

Ylfa · 25/10/2019 14:28

Hm maybe not martyrs. Don’t want to be repulsed, just induce some kind of almost-panic attack
