Give me some recommendations for scary horror flix !

[stillvicarinatutu]

I have sky and Netflix .

Live alone but LOVE a proper scare fest ! I love snuggling into bed at about 8pm and watching a scary horror film . Any recommendations ?

Well it's not on streaming yet I don't think since I just saw it in the cinema but 'The Black Phone' is terrifying. Really really scary, and has a gripping plot and really great female lead too.

On Netflix, I'd suggest 'Run' (about a girl who uses a wheelchair who discovers a dark secret). Not really super scary but tense and lots of jump scenes.

'Creep' (the one set on the London tube, not the more recent one) is terrifying.

'Hush' is on Netflix and is scary.

'Happy Death Day' is a horror comedy that's more comedy than horror but a very good movie.

I love horror films but Hush scared the wits out of me, I think I thought about it every week for about six months after watching it, definitely recommend!

I found Sinister really good, if you haven't already seen those, and The Strangers is a bit old now but I rewatched it recently and it still made me jump

I found It Follows quite scary. I think that's Netflix and possibly BBC

Incantation on Netflix is v creepy.

Seen incantation

Trying hush !

Just seen the lead in hush was Theo in the haunting of hill house....loved that series!

It's not a film but I found the sandman pretty scary and it's a series so sets you up with something to watch for a while. Gets pretty gruesome 🫣

Binged sandman ! Just watched hush . Enjoyed

Just been to see NOPE at the movies, fantastic. Also love love loves "get out"

Loved Get Out!

I’d recommend the Spanish film “REC” (first one only); the American remake “Quarantine” is pretty good, too. Also “The Descent” good female leads here too… don’t think there are any men in the film, actually!

Thats about it. Nothing much scares me.

Found a proper scary Spanish one on Netflix called don't listen !
Subtitles but it's v v scary !

Have you seen The Invitation on Netflix? It's maybe not scary scary, but super tense and creepy.

Just out in the cinema, Nope. Bloody brilliant.

Not sure if it's available on streaming services yet.

Yes! In a similar weird vein “Coherence”

And if you want weird, scary Spanish try “La Cabina” a short film from 1972. <shudders>

Peppa pig the movie

Insidious
Gwen
Kill List
A Field In England

The Babadouk

Los Ojos De Julia (another Spanish one) was pretty scary!

All on Netflix:

Fear Street - Not scary per se, but pretty gruesome in some places

The Game - late 90's film with Michael Douglas

Day Shift

Choose or Die

Escape Room

Midsommar

The Platform

Army of the dead

The Perfection

Midsommar and The Perfection I found particularly unsettling

Ooh yes, Midsommar is good… quite horrific, though!

I loved The Descent! Creeped me out, especially the fact it's British, felt so much closer to home lol.
Have you watched Midnight Mass? It's a Netflix series rather than a film but I thought it was brilliant. Slow burn but great last few episodes. (5 or 8 episodes I think).

Is this the dinner party one? There's a new film also called The Invitation starring the actress who played Daenerys' handmaid in Game of Thrones, as an American who finds out she has posh English relatives who try to embroil her into what looks like some kind of cult, per the trailer. I don't think it's out yet and I think for cinemas not streaming?

A scary movie that isn't a horror movie is 13 Lives, the film about the Thai soccer team being rescued from the cave. So tense!

This is a good thread which I bookmarked from previously

The Grudge - scary as hell!

Some great suggestions already, and I’d second the recommendation of:

Don’t Listen - this is seriously creepy!

Also:

The Visit - found footage film, but really good
Mara - don’t watch this just before bedtime!
