I love horror but apparently I don’t vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I’d seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn’t find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn’t the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn’t like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

I agree that the idea of it is terrifying. I just feel like they executed it poorly in the movie. They somehow made it a little hokey.

Thank you! It felt like they could have done so much with it but turned it into the usual monster movie. The first appearances where “it” could be anyone were the best.
