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 😊

I love Dog Soldiers. Some scenes / lines are very funny .

I think I watched it on Netflix or maybe prime . Was 2016 according to Google. It’s available on channel 4 to watch now .

Has anyone watched a movie about a stolen/found laptop? Off to Google

@ConsuelaHammock I love Dog Soldiers! It's been ages since I watched it. I will rewatch soon, thanks for the reminder!

The only horror film that has really stuck with me, so much so that I have no desire to watch it again is The Babadook. Cracking film but it really got to me and I never want to watch it again.

I'm a huge horror fan some of my favourites are

The Exorcist 3
The Blair Witch Project
An American Werewolf in London
Lovely Molly
Fright Night
The Others
Saint Maud

I have a subscription to shudder and have really enjoyed,

Attachment
Leave
Blood Harvest
Anything For Jackson
A Banquet
My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To
Blood on Satans Claw
Sorry About The Demon
Blood Relatives
Wakewood

I’m actually watching the American one tonight . I’ve had to tape the ending so I can watch it in daylight.
never used to be this much of a woos

Omg Lovely Molly absolutely traumatised me with the scene in the alleyway/hallway in work. You will know what I mean. That was truly horrible.

Yes! Lots of funny one liners, but still a really good film surprisingly.

The Shining and Blair Witch Project

Lake Mungo looks really good, I’ll be watching that! Thank you

Seen them both, Blair Witch scared me more than The Shining & I absolutely loved the follow up to The Shining called Doctor Sleep.

I loved Doctor Sleep as well. I know Stephen King's material doesn't always translate to the screen well, but this felt both typical SK, and pretty true to the book (which I read first). If that makes sense.
And I do think The Mist was a good film, and also fairly true to the short story.

I have just read a collection of novellas by Joe Hill (SK's son), "Strange Weather" - and one or two in there would make good films, but one ("Loaded") will definitely never happen, even though topical in terms of Black Lives Matter and gun control. Still a "good", nerve-wracking tale, which reads in a King Style, which I always find - as a Constant Reader - quite comforting. The other one "Rain" is loosely about climate change and messing with science, which is of course, always relevant, but definitely with a horror theme threading through it.

I digress.

Did anyone mention Get Out? Superb.

Seen it . Was a good film but didn't live up to the hype imo .

The conjuring actually illicited a scream from me - the cellar scene !

Another brilliantly scary series is the haunting of hill house . Watched it 3 x now and it is brilliant. Not a film but worth watching.

Omg Lovely Molly absolutely traumatised me with the scene in the alleyway/hallway in work. You will know what I mean. That was truly horrible.

I know exactly what scene you mean, same here, it's a brilliant film (the guy who directed it was also the director of the Blair witch project) but hard work in places.

Seconding Lake Mungo! If you like found footage, mockumentary sort of stuff (which I absolutely do!) it's a cracking example of it.

Speaking of mockumentaries, the bbc classic Ghostwatch is brilliant. It is very much of it's time (the bbc outside broadcast trucks!!) and is admittedly a little dated but the creepy factor is definitely there. Mr Pipes is pure nightmare fuel.

It's the best one Jordan Peele has done, but I thought US was terrible.

My unpopular opinion is that the Shining has a very cool aesthetic but isn't scary and Jack Nicholson overacts so badly that I can't really watch it.

I found it really overrated.

Agree. It's like a twilight zone episode

I agree. One of the scariest bits of the book is how the haunted hotel uses the weakness of the alcoholic father. And we all know how abusers are subtle in the beginning.
I could never believe the dynamics of Shelley Duvall and Jack Nicolson working as a family. He’s so overly dramatic. She’d never had gone for him.

Re: Doctor Sleep, and The Shining.
The book for the latter frightened me (I was about 19 when I read it, and have never re-read it...) far more than the film; as you say, the hotel itself has a personality/is possessed, and a lot of the malevolence comes from it, whereas Jack is a "typical" stompy, shouting bully (with bells on), and of course Jack Nicholson - who plays him so well - can be pretty one-note - his face lends itself to being scary/aggressive, I think.

I found the actress for the younger Wendy in Doctor Sleep very convincing.

I won't hear a word against the (original) Twilight Zone.😀Or the (original) Outer Limits.

I missed any hype about Get Out so I have nothing to compare it to. I came to it fresh & found it funny, scary, tense, intriguing & thought-provoking - that's enough for me.

I cheer when she whacks him with the baseball bat, every time I see it.

I think it's shit. A classic, but shit.
