Horrors that are actually good?

[Mudface]

Ooh, forgot the horror film that really separates the men from the boys-

 

Martyrs

 

 

[Stouffer]

Ghostwatch [shits pants]

 

[Sugar Ape]

There are lots of horror films I love like The Devil Rides Out and The Lost Boys but they’re not actually scary. 
 

Off the top of my head, ones that had scary bits in it at least:

 

Alien

The Conjuring

Halloween 

Hereditary 

The Innkeepers

The House of the Devil

Poltergeist 

The Shining

Sinister

Smile

Summer of 84

Rec (Spanish version)

Vampires

Wake Wood

The Wicker Man

 

I reckon the most I’ve ever jumped out of my skin is the attic scene at the end of Rec. Watched that in the Showcase on the East Lancs and my bird screamed the place down when we watched that bit. 
 

Luckily with it being a Spanish language film there were only about another three people watching it with us.

Nah. As soon as the bird had the clamp on her face I fucked it off. 

 

I'm aware of the twist. Fella on the floor 

 

To be fair, the whole thing reminds me of the Lust section of Se7en, but still thought it was very good. I tried to watch a couple of the sequels, but they're awful, just senseless and gratuitous.

Salems lot had me shitting it for months.

[Captain Howdy]

Calvaire……..creepy……as……..fuck. Just get on the dance scene 

 

[Harry's Lad]

The Haunting.

A black & white film from 1963. You don't need gore to put you on edge.

[Bjornebye]

Not a film but the car scene in Haunting of Hill House will fuck your senses into another realm.

It's legitimately horrifying.  I try not to think about it too much, as it really gets under your skin. Disturbing as fuck.

I watched that when it came out, I sat numb for about 5 minutes afterwards wondering wtf. Definitely up there with Requiem for a Dream as one of those films you can only watch once.

[easytoslip]

Probably someone said it but The Night of the Demon is à strange one and all the rest are stupid apart from The Werewolf starring Lon Chaney.

Not into horrors so haven't seen many at all but Event Horizon is good.

[johnsusername]

Eden Lake. Pretty grim though.

I am a little bit squeamish but not a fanny in that it does not get me off as a thing in itself. Love violent movies with context and hate to not see ground breaking shit, Can't decide whether to watch this or not. Honest answer, time machine would you rewatch it?

[Bjornebye]

Come And See is fucking horrific

Are you on about Martyrs?

 

I'd recommend one watch of it. Just make sure you watch the original not the shite US remake.

Yet is not a horror film but based on real events. Life events are more horrific than make believe.

[Poor Scouser T]

Yeah cheers Martyrs. I'll give it a go. thanks.

It's utter fucking shit and without any redeeming qualities whatsoever.

 

The film makers should be in jail.
