Films like Rosemary's Baby?

60 replies

PeachPlumPears · 24/10/2017 15:17

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!

The Changeling (1980), not the one with Angelina Jolie. Terrified the life out of me (not the one with A Jolie )

I love all the same films op! Are there any decent ones like this on Netflix?

Another Spanish one, The Devils Backbone. Bloody brilliant, Scary then sad, then spooky.

Whistle and I'll come to you

For Spanish film are you thinking of La Cabina? 35 minutes long, begins funny, becomes terrifying?

TurboTheChicken · 24/10/2017 21:20

Audrey Rose with Anthony Hopkins. Classic!

Rosieumbrella · 24/10/2017 21:36

The Crow is good for Halloween, I think that was early 90s though

MargoChanning · 24/10/2017 21:40

The Fury, a psychic horror starring kirk douglas. Is very good and creepy.

Let Me In

Creepy as fuck. And explores the relationship between the vampire and their familiar.

Or the original Let the Right One In.

A Carnival of Souls 1962. Freaky.

Fab Spanish ones:
Pan's Labrynth
The Orphanage
The Devil's Backbone (Eduardo Noriega - he-llo sexy!)
Rec

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane 1976 Jodie Foster...super creepy

AnneGrommit · 24/10/2017 22:04

Loads of great suggestions already - love it. I'd add Magic starring Anthony Hopkins. Creepy as fuck ventriloquist dummy thing from late 70s/early 80s.

autumnintheair · 24/10/2017 22:08

It was pans labyrinth I was thinking of earlier

autumnintheair · 24/10/2017 22:09

Julia's eyesight another good Spanish one

AnneGrommit · 24/10/2017 22:10

Oh Pants Labyrinth made me cry!

And the feckin Orphanage made me sob almost hysterically.

Great films though!

AnneGrommit · 24/10/2017 22:11

Hahaha *Pan's

CountDuckulaTheSqueaky · 24/10/2017 22:11

The Faculty

Andrewofgg · 24/10/2017 22:13

All the Christopher Lee Dracula films.

The Abominable Dr Phibes.

(I had a GF who was into horror films big-time!)

skippy67 · 24/10/2017 22:16

The Orphanage.

Pants Labrynth GrinGrin

Next time there's an 'add a letter to ruin a film' thread, i shall be posting that Grin

PanPanPanPing · 25/10/2017 10:29

I've just remembered I found Play Misty For Me rather scary en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_Misty_for_Me. But it's about 'extreme stalking', so don't watch it if it's a trigger for you.

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/10/2017 10:34

Event Horizon probably the scariest film I've ever seen. I saw it at the cinema with then BF and apparently I went to the toilet 8 times.

lessworriedaboutthecat · 25/10/2017 10:35

I should say not in my seat all 8 times, but it was too dam creepy for me

PosieNarka · 25/10/2017 11:52

The Blair Witch Project (I haven't seen it though)
