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!

Just googled Wolf Creek and the murderer it was based on. Turns out he died today in prison, spooky timing for a google search!

It's frightening though in a lingering psychological way. I thought the ending was horrible in a scary terrifying way. The concept (possible spoiler)
that everyone has to sleep at some point and then will be vulnerable is pretty creepy stuff

It's very much down to the viewer I think. It was an interesting and ambitious film. I enjoyed watching it

(It's hard to talk about it without giving it away, as it's not like the more common storytelling out there) it's definitely worth a watch.

Candyman terrified me as a youngster

The Hitcher (2007) freaked me out!

Joy ride is terrifying.
I agree with pp who mentioned the Final Destination films

Ivan Milan the murderer who inspired Wolf Creek died today! Never seen the movie though, don’t like torture movies.

I'm so glad to see The Grudge on here so many times! I loved that film, I'd make 'the noise' in my husband's ear now and again afterwards. Most amusing

Gonna watch Ghost Stories tonight based on recommendations on here, can't wait!

Agree with posters about sinister and the strangers both really unsettled me and creeped me out. Anything based on a true story gives me the creeps though 😂
Eden Lake is really uncomfortable and scary as it is very realistic as PP mentioned.
He's out there on Netflix is quite scary I was surprised and also Hush.
Avoid Wounds and Eli on Netflix they are awful!!

Not a horror, but a very tense movie: Buried. Ryan Reynolds is a driver working in Irag who wakes up to find himself buried underground in a coffin.

Agh! Iraq. He was working in Iraq. Not Irag, that would be very silly.

You're Next is exciting and horrific. Very fast paced with an unexpected climax.

Baxter Bear, thoroughly agree with a Serbian Film. Deeply unpleasant even compared to stuff like Men Behind The Sun and the Guinea Pig series.

Original Texas Chainsaw is great. Don't bother with the rest of them.

Martyrs, Inside, Funny Games. Originals only.

The Mist. If only for the ending which is truly magnificent.

If you want coherency don't bother with the Italian stuff. Korean and Japanese stuff is generally awesome if mental. The French have been banging out quality for years.

Mainstream horror uses too much cgi to be scary...

Rosemary's Baby absolutely terrified me.

Apologies for the pun in advance.

If Hey Duggee referenced Wolf Creek would it be head on a stick stick stick stick sticky sticky stick stick?

The Descent made DH jump out of his seat!

I'd love to watch something spooky and ghostly but with no gore. Like the ring or the woman in black! I must check which films are on this week.

Im sorry but 'mother' is one of the worst films i have ever seen. Its a self indulgent wank fest for the director who was dating the star at the time. Scarily bad yes, scary - no.

Agree that mother! Is an overhyped mess trying to be religious but it got ridiculous.

I didn’t find sinister or insidious scary at all! I did absolutely hate every second of the witch though, not sure why but the music just unsettled me so much. Eden lake is petrifying I’m the sense that it’s so normal and I could see it happening in real life 😳

Ring (Japanese movie). Aarrghh!!

Love this thread!

American horror story series 2- Asylum. So creepy and scary!

Also, having read through, I haven't see. The fourth kind mentioned- was that petrified me!

Oh i loved mother! Perfectly nightmarish.

Agree that JL wasn't well cast though

milkjetmum Inside Number 9! Was just telling my daughter about those yesterday. The one with Sheridan Smith in stayed with me for ages. Horrible.
I am also traumatised by a 'Tales of the Unexpected' I saw when I was a teenager (so more than 30 years ago) about a prisoner and her escape attempt.
