REALLY scary films

[StrattersDD]

Anyone got any recommendation of good scary films? I haven't seen one that's actually scared me for a long time.

[TheCunkOfPhilomena]

Lake Mungo.

Watch it. Don't read anything about it or watch the trailer beforehand, just watch it.

I hadn't heard of Broken but I love Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy so that's now on my list!

[DurhamDurham]

I love a good horror film, I'm fine as long as it's clearly not believable or set in a different time/place.

Films that really scare me are ones like Eden Lake because it was set today and in this country, a bit too close to home and a bit too realistic.

The Hostel.

[spankhurst]

Suspiria, if you want arty. Jesus, it scared the crap out of me. The Haunting (original version). Clever, scary and disturbing.

[twoduvetsandablankie]

The Descent, Hostel and Wolf Creek

[ladypete]

The others
The conjuring
Orphan - the concept is scary!
The Woman in Black

[clary]

I find Don't Look Now really scary.

It's v v old tho. I've not heard of or certainly not seen most of the ones mentioned here

[putthePuffindown]

I also only clicked to add Event Horizon shudder

[HackerFucker22]

God yeah Wolf Creek is horrid. I've seen it a few times. I have no idea why I have seen films that scare the shite out of me more than once?

[Hotpatootietimewarp]

Insidious terrified me! I thought it was a good idea to watch it alone one night and spent the rest of the night waking up thinking the scary guy was standing in the corner

I watched a film a few months back that was based on the YouTube slender man series, I totally wished I hadn't after that, every time I looked out the window I thought he was there!

And second Eden lake but it was scary in a this could actually happen in real life very relevant kind of way

[Ridingthegravytrain]

Drag me to hell is entertaining horror with some good jump moments

Could also try the unborn and the uninvited

[WaitrosePigeon]

Creep is pretty vile and scary

[DurhamDurham]

Riding I thought the beginning of Drag to to Hell was great but once I saw the talking goat I couldn't take it seriously.... The whole cinema seemed to laugh every time the goat appeared which broke the mood somewhat

Se7en.

I watched The Wicker Man, with Edward Woodward, on my own when a teenager and I've never forgotten the image of the burning figure, it really disturbed me at the time, not sure I could watch it again now.

[vichill]

The Grudge. I still suffer from past and hate to admit it but recoil at the sight of long haired Japanese women.

Wolf Creek is really disturbing . More of a slasher type one. Horrible.

[GingerFoxInAT0phat]

Poughkeepsie Tapes, the only feel to leave me feeling haunted for days!
Not a paranormal film but so disturbing!

Don't really like all the ring, insidious type films, find them boring and I have night terrors at the best of times so watching them before bed makes my brain a bit overactive. Dh loves them though.

[AllOutOfNaiceHam]

It.
I'm still traumatised.

[DrHarleenFrancesQuinzel]

Ooh someone else has said Shuttle. Was a crap film, but the ending. Ive never got over that one. I think its scary, because it could (and probably does) happen in real life.

Looking into Broken now.

Ive seen most of the films mentioned on this thread some of them scared me (Woman in Black) some of them bored me (exorcist)

[southeastastra]

Babadook agree with borderlands. Find it quite hard to find really scary films insidious and the like are crap. I do like some of the old films good like the entity and the haunting

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I'm not the bravest, but I watched The Visit with DS aged 15 yesterday. Omg it scared me.

[TheWoodenSpoonOfMischief]

Another vote for The Conjuring.
The Orphanage

[FeliciaJollygoodfellow]

Rec is good. It's Spanish.

I liked both versions of the ring - just enough difference for them to almost be different stories.

Black Christmas was on on Xmas eve a few years ago (the 70s one) I had nightmares!

[FeliciaJollygoodfellow]

Oh god the orphanage is brilliant although I cried so much.

[DramaQueenofHighCs]

Definitly The Grudge and The Ring - the Japaneese versions though - not the American remakes which rely too heavily on graphics!
