To ask for scary movie suggestions

[DamnYouAutoCarrot]

Blatant misuse of AIBU I'm sure. Lockdown has my teen bored beyond belief. I'm planning a scary movie night (she's a month off 16). Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I hope you're all coping as well as can be!

I hated Hereditary. Started off pretty good then the ending seemed to be a different film completely. Like the runner had been carrying two separate scripts, dropped them and reshuffled them. And nobody noticed. I appreciate some people liked it though.

Midsomar is marginally better - pretty gruesome.

Ooh, I love this thread, it's reminding me of lots I want to re-watch. The remake of The Hills Have Eyes was so terrifying it made me feel sick. Wolf Creek is another scarily possible one. Then I'd forgotten Xavier Gens - Frontiers and The Divide. Then there's Martyrs. I also love The Exorcist although many think it's dated.

Wolf Creek
Eden Lake
28 Days/ Weeks Later
The Descent
Train to Busan
The original versions of The Hills have Eyes & Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Blair Witch
The Exorcist
Halloween

It Follows, Nightmare on Elm Street and Final Destination are all quite fun

Didn't really enjoy Midsommar, Hereditary, Babadook.

The Ritual
Hereditary
Conjuring 1 & 2
Geralds Game (the Moonlight Man makes me shiver).

One that's not mentioned much but that I really enjoyed was The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

Actually, most are 18 rated so you may not want to watch them with a 16 year old.

Oh and if you want to give a series a try, please watch Haunting of Hill House on Netflix, it's fantastic.

The Descent 😬😬😬

Sorry to be boring but I think some of these films are too much for a 16 year old. Wolf Creek in particular has hideous violence against female characters, doesn’t it? Also The Hills Have Eyes?
Why not try some classic shockers like The Haunting from 1960? It’s been voted the scariest film ever pretty regularly.

Hereditary is the scariest movie I've ever seen

I agree with this, I know a lot of people don't rate it but its the horror movie that made me feel the most uncomfortable that I've watched recently.

I really get freaked out by the whole cult/witchy stuff so the ending really had me coming up with goosebumps.

Contagion. The Platform. (have a fun night :-)

Very good

The Descent is excellent, as is The Shining.

The scares in The Descent got lost on us first time we watched it. I'd not long had DS and kept having to pause it when he cried. Took us about three hours to get through!

Much better on the rewatch.

Train to Busan - hard, fast and one of the best zombie films ever!
I watched it with my teen we loved it although a bit tense to say the least!
World War Z

Dog Soldiers is funny and gory with good characters and sad in bits all at once.
10 Cloverfields Rd not a jump fest but it keeps you guessiing right till almost the end.
Priest
Fright Night (A few funny bits to lighten the mood and David Tennant in leather, what else could you want?)
All the Alien films start at the begining and work your way through them
Legion
I am Legend

The Shining wins for me !

It Follows

Suspiria

Both pretty good for young women in particular as they’re the main protagonists (and heroes)

The Haunting of Hill House
The Conjuring
The Visit
Lights Out
Get Out
Us
It Follows

You have to watch Hell House LLC !! Its free on Prime at the moment.
I was so frightened (and I'm a die hard horror fan).

If you like Blair Witch, you'll like this.

Also Heidi (haunted doll). Very creepy.

Before I wake...scary and freaky as fuck
Us

@TaTuirseOrm Did watching The Ring in the day help?

I still want to see it but know it will just scare the hell out of me. I watched Poltergeist on a summer's day when I was 13 and I still found it horrendous!

I second a lot of these. Particularly the conjuring, Hereditary, paranormal activity. Sinister and Insidious are also creepy.

It follows is good
Paranormal activity first one
Descent
28 days later

There's loads as we always watch horrors will.come back with more 🙂

Eraserhead scared the crap out my DD when she was about that age. I don't think I've ever seen her so truly terrified as while she watching that. She loved it. She's got a far higher tolerance for gore and splatter than I ever will have but the creeping weirdness of that film just got her.

Event Horizon.

We're starting with the conjuring. I'm too much of a wimp for this. The teen has the duvet ready! We have a long list to get through.. Keep them coming, this is great. Sweet dreams ladies 😮

Don't worry, DD is very sensible about them just being movies. It's me who gets scared.
