Films like Rosemary's Baby?

[PeachPlumPears]

I love films like Rosemary's Baby, The Shining, Misery, Psycho, The Omen, basically scary films from the 60s/70s/80s I guess. Based on this list, can anyone recommend any similar films? Would love something to watch since it's Halloween and all!

Carrie
Christine
The Birds

If you don't mind a 2005 film, then The Skeleton Key www.imdb.com/title/tt0397101/

The 1980 version of The Fog www.imdb.com/title/tt0080749/

What Lies Beneath (2000) www.imdb.com/title/tt0161081/

Halloween
Friday the 13th
The Thing
Carrie
The Birds
Nightmare on Elm Street
Hell Raiser

To the devil a daughter
Exorcist
Devil rides out

The Haunting (1960). Absolutely brilliant.
Suspiria. Terrifying.
The Innocents.

Don't Look Now.

The Wicker Man

Excellent, lots to watch! Love the Wicker Man. Don't Look Now, Carrie, the Exorcist and the Birds are ones I've seen and exactly along the lines I was thinking 👍

I was going to suggest The Wicker Man, but only the original!

Candyman
The Mothman Prophecies

I love era films too. Spanish one can't remember name of it now came out a few years ago you would like that

Poltergeist
Amityville Horror
American Werewolf in London

Yes, definitely the original Wicker Man!

I'm trying to remember a Spanish one @autumnintheair - we must be thinking of the same thing

Oh, and, Sleepy Hollow www.imdb.com/title/tt0162661/ with Johnny Depp. Sorry, I'm suggesting more recent films than your request for 60s/70s/80s. But .... !

The Hand that Rocked the Cradle

The Sentinal 1977, very creepy and underated.

Oohh and how about The Thing 1982, and The Evil Dead 1981, not the remake.

And something a bit older The Haunting 1963 is great...again the remake is awful, why do they bother!!

Those are my favourite films too OP

Others I like which haven’t been mentioned yet include the modern The Babadook (shining-esque but with a woman), Duel (Stephen Spielberg), Poltergeist, Alien, Cujo. But they’re all quite well known so I’d expect you’ve seen them.

I’m also really enjoying a series of Val Lewton films (older, bit kitsch and pre-noir but effective).

Spanish film - Rec?

Pan's Labyrinth- that's a Spanish film, and The Orphanage.

The Devil's Advocate

Happy to get recent suggestions too @PanPanPanPing!

@Threadarick funnily enough I haven't seen them except Poltergeist! Will definitely watch the others now though since I trust your excellent taste in films 😉

Rosemary's Baby is my one of my favourites, and I love lots of these that have been mentioned. Trying to think of some new ones:

• Peeping Tom (1960) - also one of my favourites
• Shutter Island (2011) - not horror but creepy and psychological, haunting
• Let The Right One In (2008)
• The Stepford Wives (1975)
• Coherence (2014)
• Orphan (2009)
• Crooked House (2008) - set in the Victorian era I believe? Well, it's period and super creepy.

A few others that I wouldn't recommend as strongly, but still worth checking out:

• mother! (2017) - might be still at the cinema. VERY divisive.
• The Descent (2005) - gorier and just very different from all of these, more pure horror, but one of the most lasting frights ever from a film.
• Unfriended (2014) - I might have liked this one so much because I expected to hate it!
• Under The Shadow (2016)

Hope you like some of them, OP! Happy Halloween!

Oh and 28 Days Later (2002).
