AIBU to ask for films so scary they nearly make you die from fear?

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

House on Haunted Hill series and the Woman in Black.

Although I've said I don't like scary movies, I didn't find Blair Witch Project scary at all… until one time we were walking through a forest in the pitch black in a dark sky park and we started talking about scary shit like that.

@Pinkarsedfly where did you watch it please?

Sinister, as loads of PPs have mentioned. Hardcore horror buff friend and I walked into the cinema expecting it to be the usual mainstream nonsense with jump scares and a happy ending. By the end of the first 'home video' segment we were considering walking out as I was worried about going into early labour.

Also, House of 1000 Corpses, La Casa Muda and Hell House LLC.

Already mentioned lots but I love Salem’s Lot and The Shining.

Julia’s Eyes - Spanish psychological horror. I thought very good and a woman actually screamed in the cinema at a particularly tense moment.

I don’t like horror but I’ve head human centipede is pretty Fucked up!!

Just watched Sinister and was pleasantly surprised! Was actually scary and creepy.

I’d really recommend NOT even googling A Serbian Film, it is purely disgusting - it’s only scary because it’s so gross in a really distressing and disturbing day.

Human centipede is an acquired taste. The second one scarred my soul slightly.

Haven't seen the third....

They aren't scary though.

Serbian Film is also an acquired taste. Not scary.

Scary is an art form. It hard to get that these days.

baxter I am glad you mentioned Ghost Stories. Saw it on a plane and it has stayed with me.

I'm surprised I've seen most of these! I prefer psychological scares and don't like gore.

Having said that Apostle I thought was a really fascinating and tense film with a brilliant ending (bit too much gore for me though). Which reminds me - Wicker Man has to be on this list surely?

Any Dario Argento, watched them with an ex so can't remember which are which but they all scared the crap out of me.

Agree with Mother! Being scary and I wish I hadn't watched it. I didn't know what I was expecting but not that! Same for the ending of the Ritual - one of the best films I've seen in a while but the ending didn't make sense

Xx is a set of 4 short horror films on Netflix one of which still haunts me

The Invitation was brilliant

Calibre was really scary and unsettling - 2 city blokes go into the Scottish highlands. Hijinks with the locals ensue. Not what I was expecting and totally brilliant.

Didn't make me die with fear but Train to Busan is good

Bleh. All of them. Hate horror films!

I doubt I will be able to watch this movie The Painted Bird, from its description alone: www.news.com.au/entertainment/movies/movie-trailers/frantic-audiences-flee-brutal-holocaust-film-at-venice-film-festival/news-story/12a12601680417509dd66be21da43153

Apparently, it had members of the audience heading for the doors during the screening at the Venice Film Festival.

A friend of mine watched A Serbian Film and then decided to describe every little bit of it to me because she was so traumatised and needed to get it off her chest. I absolutely hate any type of horror, not that that film should even be classed as horror... even though it is horrific.
Anyway, I’ll never forgive her for that! I really really wish she hadn’t told me 😭 It’s so disturbing to know that a movie like that was created.

I'm upset just after reading a review of A Serbian Film! 😱

Dog Soldiers and An American Werewolf in London.

The Human Centipede that I watched at uni 10 years ago, just disgusting.
Recently saw It Chapter 2 at the cinema and I still can't get the clown's face out of my head :/
It was disturbing, i'm terrible with horror films.

It's not really a horror but Shutter Island. It's an excellent film, very well-made but incredibly disturbing, from the piled-up corpses to the manic depressive wife who drowned her young children, and then dressed and sat their corpses round the dinner table..

Vegena it’s on Amazon Prime.

The Serbian Film is one of those films I wish I could unsee really. I certainly wouldn't describe it to somebody else in fear of traumatising them.

Irreversible is horrible too.

And Necrophiliac....

Has anyone mentioned "Chained" by Jennifer Lynch with Vincent D'Onofrio? Perhaps more sick and twisted than horror though.

I saw Geralds Game recently, thought that was very good, maybe not classic horror scary.

I don't like torture porn or sick depraved films. I like a good, clever plot and a building creepy atmosphere

Watched Event Horizon last night after reading this thread and my god what a load of drivel,I've seen scarier and more realistic episodes of Red Dwarf!
Wolf creek is brilliant but you can only watch it once

The Wicker Man is really scary, but a lot of that is the weird 70s-ness of it! You are just like WTF?

The wicker man made me 😂 so hard in the cinema, great idea for a second or third date - just thinking about it is making me smile.

Watched Whiplash last night which has more than its share of psychological horrors for something that’s not official Horror, it was so much better than it should be - considering how basic the storyline is. Really fascinating to watch. Recommend!

Whiplash is a brilliant film. My husband is a drummer so was rather annoying as he pointed out the little errors in the playing. But thoroughly enjoyed it all the same...a psychological cat and mouse drama.
