Your favourite really good, properly creepy horror film please!

[TheImprobableGirl]

I think tonight calls for a really good creepy horror film. Dp hasn't watched many bar saw, but it does need to be realistic-y (ie no zombies/ zombeavers) can be old or new. Ideally on sky rental thing, which most tend to be.

I was thinking maybe the grudge/ring. Preferably nothing too old-fashioned, we tried the birds, Carrie and wicker man but were none too taken.

Please

The Shining gets my vote too! One of the few films that made me hide behind a pillow and peek around the edge in that awful 'can't bear to look, can't bear not to look' state of anxiety!

Try while you're waiting. Only 35 minutes long.

This is the scariest horror I've ever seen. So scary that someone ran out of the the screening at the end. That's scary. .

Unfortunately I can't find a version with English subtitles. But it's fairly easy to follow.

Don't bother with the American remake with Kiefer Sutherland and Sandra Bullock.

I like Fallen with Denzel Washington and the first Saw.

The Woman in Black, 1989 version is scary. The Daniel Radcliffe one isn't.

The original Omen film, with Lee Remick, Gregory Peck, and Billie Whitelaw is scary. I saw it around 1989/1990 aged 7. And had to get into bed with one of my older sisters. My parents were not impressed that they let me watch it whilst they were dining out. The actor who played Damien looked like an evil fecker.

Poltergeist. The first one.

Exorcist 3, that scene with the nurse in the corridor, never again.

That film with Barbara Hershey based on a true story, where the woman was attacked by an invisible ghost. Saw it last year and it scared me to death.

Halloween. Although the ending was far-fetched.

Amityville, James Brolin one.

Children of the Corn.

There are loads more, not so well known good horror films that I have seen, but I cannot remember the names of them.

Oh, Stephen King's IT.

Shuttle.
Scoffed a bit at first as the usual bog standard chase and slaughter film but it totally bent my head as you could believe it happening. I still think about it wondering if it actually happens.

Broken
Got me in quite a high state of anxiety quite early in which stayed for a bit after it finished.

Again I could believe it could happen.
It's rare I find films that really hit the spot.

Actually... How about the Enfield Haunting?

I watched that recently on TV and it's the first thing that's pretty much terrified me for ages.

First 2 episodes out of 3 are REALLY creepy

Actually i thought The Conjuring really creepy,lots of doors opening and slow cameras.Really good.Also the woman in black 1 and 2.

Salem's Lot.

Hope you don't like sleeping

Oh yes Wolf Creek - just no let up is there? I don't think I breathed throughout the whole film. Dh did, but the only thing he said was ' fucking hell' intermittently

It follows is a massive pile of over hyped meh imho. Waiting for more recommendations

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is really good.Actually one of my favourites of all time.

Rosemary's Baby. An old film but still creepy and kind of stylish.

Exorcist. Hell I couldn't sleep without the light on for a week.

The Shining. Looks great and is sooo creepy.

I love the twist at the end of Orphan

I've got a good one for you film fans that you may have missed.

Its called "Borderlands" its quite recent, it's British and its in the found footage style.

I'm quite fussy about my horror films but this one I really enjoyed and found to be proper full on scary.

As with any film, don't watch the trailer if you don't want too much spoilt.

The descent is really creepy
Oh yes orphan, had forgotten that one

FluffyPersian The Babadook was a manifestation/representation of the mothers grief and issues (that caused her to be a total bitch and make her son a pain in the butt). Once she battled it she kept it in the cellar and fed it worms, visiting it briefly. I think that was meant to represent her allowing herself to remember her pain, nurture her memories and keep it from taking over her at the same time.

Pet Semetary.
Cujo.
Orphan.
I found this film on Netflix called Boo about a haunted abandoned hospital, quite creepy. I mean abandoned places are creepy enough with ghosts and ghouls poking their noses in. Just imagine a hectic eventful active hospital, someday being abandoned.

It's not a horror film but I find the film "Zodiac" to be very frightening. It's got a good star cast as well. Robert Downey Jnr, Mark Ruffalo and Jake Gyllenhaal.

I also really enjoy "What Lies Beneath" It's not a horror either but I just love a good old supernatural thriller and its got Harrison Ford and Michelle Peiffer in it. Its like the good old days of movie making.

I also like "The Uninvited" from 2009. This is a psychological horror film that I think was and is rather under rated and forgotten.

Just remembered I was so scared after seeing The Blair Witch, I had to sleep with the lights on for a week as Dh was working nights. When he saw it he said ' wtf was that about, why on EARTH were you scared?'

It follows is great

They Live is good .

I'm currently watching a film called. Finders keepers about a creepy doll.
Will report back later if it's scary or not

The Descent
The Orphanage
Let the Right One In (Swedish)

The Cabin in the Woods

Not quite horror, but very good indeed: Sightseers.

Like Wolf Creek, Snowtown is Austrlaian and based on real events, but far more closely. It's the most horrifying film I've ever seen, bar none.

Ethan Hawke in Sinister

Hostel!
Not a fan of zombie or too much unnecessary gore tbh. It's the ones which could be real that get me and hostel is awful
