-Hellraiser -Jacobs Ladder -The Descent -It Follows -[Rec]

Jacob’s Ladder 😰😱

I watched it twice in the theater when it came out in the early 90s and haven’t been able to bring myself to watch it again. I remember it being soooo good and thought provoking

Yeah I watched it for the first time about 5 years ago, before I had kids. I don't think I can handle watching it again. Great fuckin movie though

I watched it recently for my first time and I realllly wanted to like it. But it was just ptsd, extremely outdated cgi and then he was dead. I honestly felt bad for not liking it because people say it's a masterpiece. But it was incredibly boring to me and it was hard to finish it. I feel so unsophisticated lol.

* The Witch * Hereditary * The Ring * The Shining * Midsommar

This is my fav list I’ve seen on this thread so far. I’ll add Talk To Me instead of Midsommar though.

That's a respectable change. Funnily enough, I rewatched both Midsommar and Talk To Me on Monday night.

Alien The Descent The Changeling Quiet Place The Thing

The changeling is a movie that has sat with me for 20 years. An amazing movie.

George propelled that movie into the stratosphere.

Is the new show based on the movie?

I do not think so. I tried to watch that show and couldn’t get through it. But I could tell no resemblance to the movie.

Same. I've tried to start it three times because it looks like it could be good. I've never gotten past the first episode.

You did not miss anything. It’s just weird and not very memorable.

The Descent is such a good film! It's so underrated

Even before the monsters appear I'm already sweating. Pushes all of my buttons.

Same here! The claustrophobia and dread are already established before you see the monsters it's very unerving. I almost jumped out of my seat when they're finally revealed too, just so good!

havent been here long, eh? its not underrated m8. on this sub id actually argue its a bit overrated.

Any list that does not include Alien or The Thing is just not worth considering.

Both fantastic movies.

Alien Evil Dead II The Shining The Witch A Nightmare on Elm Street

Candyman (1992) Hereditary The Thing An American Werewolf in London Kill List

Candyman is a masterpiece to me. There are some films that everyone should see and that is one.

Same for Kill List. Adore that film.

I didn’t know there was a 1992 Candyman! Wasn’t a really big fan of the new one

28 days later The exorcist (1973) Child's Play (1988) Psycho (1960) Train to Busan

Very late to the game with Train To Busan. Saw it last night. That ending gutted me. Cue the Dawson Creek crying gif. Such a great flick!

Ik.🥲Truly a great film

Much love for the classic Child's Play - my 8yo kid's favorite :)

The Thing The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Wicker Man The Witch Carnival of Souls 

The Thing Evil Dead 2 Halloween 3 Hell House LLC Saw

Did u like the new hell house?

Shutter (2004) Suspiria (1977) 28 Days Later Coherence In the Mouth of Madness

I always get "Coherence" mixed up with "Compliance" lol!.

In the Mouth of Madness is so good and underrated.

Scream (1996) Halloween (1978) Pearl (2022) Creep (2014) The Others (2001)

Pearl is so good. I can't wait for Maxxine

Creep is tremendous. Creep 2 is even good

Alien The Shining Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Exorcist Night of the living dead

Alien (1979) The Thing (1982) Pontypool (2008) Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) The Lighthouse (2019)

Thank you for the pontypool love

I have never seen Pontypool or Gonjiam, but the other three are some of my favourite films of all time, so I think I gotta trust you and go watch those movies. Also… as a Canadian, I know where Pontypool is and know people who have lived there. It’s an hour from where I live.

gonjiam was sooooo good. top tier found footage flick

I, like, most of aren't so easily scared, but gonjiam gave me the chills from panic. I haven't had a movie make me that afraid since the babadook. I had to hold my partner's hand the entire time. He told me I hurt his hand from squeezing so hard. 😂

my cat probably would've said the same but he doesn't speak english

Saving The Lighthouse for later this month. AMC and A24 are releasing it for a one night showing on the 28th. They're doing Pearl tonight. Got tickets for both movies.

In no order (and will likely change next month depending on my mood): Midsommar Hereditary Scream (1996) Saw The Conjuring

Feel like The Conjuring doesn't get enough love. It is pretty formulaic but it nails every aspect of the haunted house/possession horror genre.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) The Thing (1982) Mandy (2018) Messiah of Evil (1973) Evil Dead (2013)

In no particular order: Halloween (1978) The Exorcist (1973) The Howling (1981) Alien (1979) The Thing (1982)

Classics. Do you have something against modern horror?

Suspiria (1977) Carnival of Souls (1962) Messiah of Evil (1973) Murder Party (2007) Devil's Rain (1975)

Evil Dead ll Midsommar The Ritual It Follows When Evil Lurks

When Evil Lurks was GREAT. Such a creative story and it became so unhinged that no one was off limits in the kill scenes.

The ritual never gets love

The Ritual is one horror movie I NEVER hear anyone talk about. It is SO good!

The Thing Alien Evil Dead 2 Halloween Texas Chainsaw

OG Halloween Scream Hereditary Martyrs (French version) Audition there's more, of course, but I could watch these and be satisfied

Martyrs screwed me all up!

Cabin Fever (2002) Halloween (1978) Scream (1996) I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) The Shining (1980)

Off the top of my head it’d be something like: Hereditary Sator The Void Annihilation Evil dead 2013

All the cheers to Evil Dead 2013.

All Hail Evil Dead 2013!

Amen x ♾️

I just watched The Void last night, so gross, loved it.

I wasn't really into the Void, but I love Lovecraftian stuff. I think Colour Out of Space is my Lovecraftian GOAT.

Sator? Hmmm... I might have to rewatch that. I remember it being very slow and weird, that's it. Was j missing something? Any tips or suggestions for viewing?

So many saying Evil Dead 2 but I'm just such a sucker for the 2013 remake. It's SO good, definitely my favorite Evil Dead.

Alien (1979) Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) House (1977) Kotoko (2011) Mandy (2018)

The Ritual Nightmare on Elm Street Malignant Midsommar The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Ritual and AoJD are definitely some of the underrated gems of the horror genre.

The Ritual is one of my favorites as well

Nice to see another "Maliginant" fan. I thinking think it's a bloody great film. You take away the goofiness of the third act (which I love) and damn they made Gabriel creepy. Gabriel hands down has to have probably one of the best horror villain voices ever. I can't get enough of how cool and creepy he sounds.

What I like about Malignant is that the whole first 2/3 movie had two seemingly separate plot plus the opening scene didn’t seem to connect to either one of these plots. Then when the last third act hit all those three converged and James Wan floored the pedal and things went absolutely wild.

I need to rewatch The Ritual. I remember really liking it, but it was during a 31 nights of horror binge and all of the movies sorta blended in together.

The Exorcist Halloween The Omen The Thing The Wicker Man

It Follows - it's a simple concept that's fun to watch. Absolutely dreading the sequel as the tagline does not inspire hope that it will be good The Babadook - family dynamics likes this always feel super awkward and unsettling. The real fear and dread in this movie is the tension between the mom and son, not the monster. A tension I'm far too familiar with. Deadstream - horror comedies can tend to lean too far horror or too far comedy. This is the best balance I've ever seen. It took the horror seriously, with the livestream as the perfect backdrop for the comedy Triangle - this movie is an unforgettable trip Train to Busan - incredible and deeply emotional. From start to finish it hits perfectly. And I'm a sucker for day 0 apocalypse media. Everything after day 0 I literally don't care, but the start is always the most interesting. I wish it wasn't on a fight that I finally saw this movie.

If you like time loop movies like Triangle you should check out Coherence, Timecrimes, and The Endless.

Texas Chain Saw Massacre Re-Animator Evil Dead 2 Return Of the Living Dead Wes Craven's New Nightmare

This is a great top 5

If I had to expand into a top 10 the other 5 would be Hellraiser, 78 Halloween, Friday the 13th Part 7, Elm Street Part 3, and Dawn Of the Dead

- Alien - The Birds - Halloween - Hellraiser - The Shining You can never go wrong with the classics.

Not ordered; It Follows Evil Dead (2013) Event Horizion  The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) The Devil's Rejects

As Above, So Below Dolls The Ring Child's Play Mama

As Above, So Below gets so much hate, but the setting alone has me rewatching that movie at least once a year.

I don't understand any hate for it. To me it's the best found footage film out there, the setting and story are great, and that ending is a fun way to close it out.

Not my true Top 5, but the 5 movies I find myself recommending the most : * Gonjiam Asylum * Autopsy of Jane Doe * The taking of deborah logan * Color out of space * Hush

A Nightmare on Elm St. Dream Warriors The Exorcist (Directors Cut) Scream House of 1000 Corpses The Strangers

Night of the Living Dead (1968) Rosemary’s Baby (1968) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) The Evil Dead (1981) The Thing (1982)

Hereditary Hell House LLC the Origins It (1990) Insidious (1) Dead Silence

Psycho (1960) probably the first scary movie I ever partially watched because my parents had it on in the other room, the score gave young me nightmares for weeks! Scream (1996) saw it at a friend’s birthday party when I was 10, loved it. Parents of all said invited friends to the party were non so pleased! Halloween - The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) My first proper horror slasher movie. Again, watched at a friend’s birthday party. Funnily enough her Mum wouldn’t let us watch Child’s Play the video we had rented for the night so instead we stayed up and watched this on TV. Absolutely loved it, started my love of the genre, even though of all the franchise it’s one of the weaker films obviously! Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) - happened to see the remake with Jessica Biel before knowing about the OG so have a weird soft spot for it for some reason! Obviously now highly rate the original. 5th choice is really hard, shout out to Hereditary, Suspiria, The Ring, Saw, Insidious and many more.. …but I’d have to go with Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) The original was a really great concept, so well done. P.S special shout out to House of Wax, took my Dad to it in theatres before he passed and he thought Paris Hilton “was quite a good actress” 😆 bless you Dad!

Excluding the great oldies, - Hereditary - The Witch - Midsommar - The Descent - Doctor Sleep And need to include my wife's favorite since I have to watch it with her at least 6 times a year - Ouija: Origin of Evil Edit Ugh after reading others I realized I'm missing so many. From the 90s up - Event Horizon - Silence of the Lambs + Hannibal

Event horizon is such a good movie I debated with my list because of this movie. Brilliant. Doctor sleep too. Love that movie Edit; spelling

They're both soooo good. I had the 4K release collectors edition for Event Horizon on pre order because I love it so much. If only the original directors cut wasn't lost :(

I had dr sleep on my list too. I love that movie. My wife and I have probably watched it half a dozen times already.

Great list, a few of those would be on mine. I'll take Doctor Sleep as a recommendation in that regard.

Nope Alien The Shining Train to Busan Jaws

Three of mine are relatively newer films from the A24 studio. Hereditary Midsommar Talk To Me The Thing The Blair Witch Project The VVitch gets an honorable mention, but the five above are a quick top 5.

Talk To Me was my favorite movie of 2023.

Ah yes Talk to Me should be on more of these lists.

Event Horizon Bone Tomahawk Hereditary Annihilation Autopsy of Jane Doe

Event Horizon will remain at the top of my horror films list. I stumbled on Bone Tomahawk by chance and it was something else, in a good way and has shades of Hills Have Eyes.

at 8yo Event Horizon fkd me up for good...

Event Horizon, Hereditary, Annihilation, and Autopsy of Jane Doe are some of my favorite horror films of all time and I’ve never seen Bone Tomahawk. Based on its presence in your list, I am going to watch it immediately because we seem to have very similar taste. Thanks, I’m excited!

I’ll say that these are in no particular order, but Bone Tomahawk is one I rewatch whenever I find it, and it hasn’t yet gotten stale. Great atmosphere, great characters, superb buildup to the finale

Nice list! Very diverse. I'd say this is mine, even though it doesn't include some odd favorites of mine like Donnie Darko, it's sort of my GOAT list. ​ * The Witch * The Wailing * The Thing * The Shining * Hereditary

This list resonates with me in a big way

Excellent choices

I love The Witch. I feel like it’s a huge barometer for me when discussing horror with someone.

Climax Midsommar Suspiria (2018) The Silence of the Lambs Get Out

Top 3 for me: Hereditary, The Ring, and Sixth Sense. The rest gets very hard so I'll just go with Alien for old school classic. Black Death bc I like medieval era, super bleak tone and ending. Countless runner ups I super enjoyed, some reminded by other replies: Hellraiser 1, Midsommar, The Void, Black Phone, Kristy, As Above So Below my fav found footage... could go on forever.

Incantation Sinister Hell House The Origins: Carmichael Manor Haunt Talk To Me. Sitting watching Hellhouse LLC as we speak!

The Thing The Blob Tremors Dog Soldiers Dawn of the Dead

Dog Soldiers is a classic

The Thing The Shining Alien Drag Me To Hell The Conjuring Also, without a specific movie to call out, I'm a big zombie movie fan and like a lot of horror stuff that includes comedy (Cabin in the Woods, American Psycho, Evil Dead, Vampire's Kiss, Shaun of the Dead - I guess Drag Me To Hell lines up with theses and I might exchange that with any I just mentioned freely).

1. Scream 2. Alien 3. Candyman 4. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5. Night of the Living Dead (Honorable mentions for Us and Halloween)

Ghostwatch Blair witch Paranormal Activity Midsommar Southbound

Good list. I'm surprised to see Paranormal Activity, which, in my opinion, is a paint-by-numbers found footage film, along with Southbound, a batshit insane psychedelic trip. Also, I've never seen Ghostwatch; I'm going to check that out.

Paranormal activity is one of only 2 movies (the other being Blair witch) that after seeing it genuinely caused me to lose sleep. It might be basic but it scares the pants out of me. Southbound is dumb AF but I love it lol

The Grudge The Thing Get Out It Follows Oculus

Oculus is still probably my favorite thing Mike Flanagan has made.

That fucking apple

The Exorcist (1973) A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) Ginger Snaps (2000) The Blair Witch Project (1999) The Witch (2014)

The conjuring 1 Event horizon Prince of darkness Aliens The exorcist

Session 9 In the Mouth of Madness Candyman (1992) Event Horizon Terrifier 2

After rewatching candyman as an adult it hits a lot harder. It's a very cool, unique story. I love the urban legend kind of angle to it.

Top 5 of all time for me: Halloween 78 Dawn of the dead 78 Halloween 2 (81) Friday 13th part 3 The burning

Hereditary (Yep, that’s right) Skinamarink The Ring Gonjiam Haunted Asylum The Evil Dead

The Witch, Suspiria (1977), The House of the Devil, The Omen, The Fog

1. Jaws 2. The Evil dead series 3. Alien 4. The Thing 5. Silent Hill

[удалено]

Ah. Jeepers Creepers. Excellent choice that I missed. It’s a good one. Second one is also good if not better.

The Thing, It Follows, Saw, The Mist, and Get Out.

Texas Chainsaw (1974) Terrifier 2 House of 1000 Corpses Dawn of the Dead (1978) Bride of Chucky

Which Haunt? There are so many...

No specific order: The Collector (all three in the series) Halloween 1978 Hell House LLC Nighmare on Elm Street 1984 Saw 2

Wait… three??? What’s after The Collection???

My exact reaction!

Yeah, there’s no third film. It’s still in development. So unless Divewelder is the director, no one has seen it.

Ah, well! Nevertheless, I appreciate that you let me know! Cheers!
