To ask your most scary horror film?

[ThingsthatgoBumpintheDay]

Just as the subject says, I’ve watched nearly all of them on Netflix. Really could do with some more suggestions. Thank you 😊

Greta (2018) is on BBC1 tonight at 11:40pm.

Repo, The Genetic Opera.

With Anthony Head and Sarah Brightman and a host of others, every actor is just brilliant for their part. Very gory and a lot of humour.

Possibly outing, but I used to work in the hotel it was filmed in! It was quite a spooky place - I didn't experience anything personally, but lots of the staff had stories.

My scariest film is The Ring, but I see lots of people have suggested that already.

Threads.
Far too realistic.

Event Horizon here too!!! I thought I was the only one. Every so often I think it can't surely have been that scary and I re-traumatise myself 😫

Unsettling but not a horror surely?

Definitely Eden Lake! I was also really scared watching Smile recently.

I think Event Horizon got something like 20% on rotten tomatoes. I agree it's really scary!

Everyone saying Eden Lake - I like a horror when it’s more of a thriller. Can’t stand anything to do with supernatural as I won’t sleep for weeks and don’t want to look it up and see spoilers. Will I be ok with this?

Yes, there's no supernatural stuff. Just nasty humans.

Yes to the Innocents! I watched it on TV years ago and it scared the daylights out of me.

God yes and I know the scene @LatteOneShotplease is talking about too. Just horrific. Bashy, who played the husband, is currently a very sinister Jaggers on the latest adaptation of Great Expectations.

Has anyone mentioned Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum yet? It's a South Korean found footage film with some VERY freaky scenes.

The segment in VHS2 called Safe Haven. It's got it all.

Castle freak

Eden Lake. Horrible. And two from the past. American Werewolf in London - seems tame now, but I went to see it at the local cinema with friends, and had to leave it scared me so much !! The other is the Julie Christie/Donald Sutherland film ‘Don’t Look Now’. It was based on a Daphne Du Maurier story which I’d read, but I didn’t bargain for how atmospheric and downright creepy the film would be. It stayed with me for ages. I think you can watch it on Prime video.

Don't look now is scary as fuck!! I watched it with friends as kids and it freaked us out.

Also mine would be :

Any of the Saw movies (not cos I think they are amazing films but quite jumpy and so gory)
The Ring
One missed call
Eden lake
Hostel
Nightmare on elm street
Jaws !! (Not so much now but defo at the time)
Halloween (originals)
Friday 13th
Physcho

There’s an old black and white film called ‘Dead of Night’, made in 1945. It’s not a horror film as such, but if you can find it anywhere I’d thoroughly recommend it. It’s one of the creepiest films I’ve ever seen, with a really good plot and plenty of atmosphere. Don’t watch it alone, or late at night !!

The Strangers!! Terrifying.

Home invasion scares me so much!! I find The Purge really uncomfortable as a concept 🫣

Anyone mention 1408? I'm sure it was based on the Cecil Hotel😱

Stephen King - my favourite horror guy !! It was loosely based on a real life paranormal investigation of room 3327 at the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. The room is supposedly haunted by the ghost of Kate Morgan who committed suicide on the beach at the resort in the late 19th Century. If anyone’s seen the Marilyn Monroe film Some Like It Hot, the hotel was the backdrop for the film set.

Agreed. The Others is unsettling and creepy. You don’t really know what’s going on but you know something is really wrong in that house.
I thought the husband coming home was so original too. The fact he loved them and was loved enough to get home but ultimately he had to go back to the battlefield he came from.

Whereas Hereditary was plain stupid I thought. Some director just putting together scenes to shock rather than having any real ideas. My husband doesn’t like scary films and even he said it wasn’t scary at all just a bit nasty.

I've been to that hotel (not in that room, though), & on the beach. My head was full of 'Some Like It Hot', & I didn't experience anything woo at all!

Ok thank you
