Horror films suitable for 13/14 year old

[pharmachameleon]

Any recommendations for a horror film we can watch tonight that would be suitable for my DS to watch too? He's 13 but v mature and would be fine with a 15 certificate I think. I hate horror films so can't think of any but he's really up for watching one tonight in the lead up to Halloween.

Perhaps an older one from the 80s? I hate horror films, but I liked them at about 14 or so - but they were nowhere near as graphic as today's special effects. What about something like Poltergeist or the original Halloween?

(Disclaimer - I don't remember anything much about them, so can't say if they are 'suitable')

Nightmare on elm street maybe.

All the Final Destinations we love them.

Something 80’s like The Lost Boys (not really horror I know)

Ooh, The Lost Boys! I might have to watch that again, to be honest. 😊

Thanks all. I do love older films but my DS finds them really slow compared with modern movies

Freighteners was a film I liked at that age. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116365/ It is not as bad as the cover suggests and has some scary but also pretty funny bits.

The conjuring series
Insidious
Paranormal activity
Documentaries about ghost stories
Haunting of hill house which is a series
Annabelle
The purge

All films I have watched with my mature slightly younger daughter.

I've just watched The Others, The sixth sense and both The quiet place films with my son, he's a bit younger than yours. We also watched a series on BBC iplayer called Crazy fun park

Lost Boys is a great shout.

Some I've watched with my eldest recently:
The Others
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Signs
Sixth Sense

Woman in Black

The woman in black- nothing tooo scary but some good fun make you jump moments

Just watched Totally Killer on Amazon with 14 yo. Scary enough but not too scary.

The Others with Nicole Kidman.

I used to love that as a teen.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
80s Poltergeist
Halloween
The Exorcist
The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The Hills have Eyes
The Conjuring
Scream

I remember liking the Scream films at that age.

The Frighteners with Michael J Fox is brill.

How could I have forgotten Carrie, might have to see if my son will watch it with me today!

I can rennet reading that when I was about 16. Not sure i would have enjoyed watching it at 13 though.

Lost Boys is timeless.

I watched Cocaine Bear over the weekend ideal opportunity to educate him on the perils of drugs too.

It was naff but I had to watch it til the end.

Misery

Same! Deffo Scream!

The Ring made me shit myself at that age.

Might he enjoy a Hammer or Amicus classic? Theatre Of Blood is a hoot.

Oh yes, and my all-time favourite - Dog Soldiers.
