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?
- The Descent
- The VVitch
- The Shining
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
- Audition
“Ju-On: The Grudge” from 2002 was probably one of the scariest movies I’ve seen (if you don’t mind reading subtitles). The US remake did not do it justice IMO. I don’t know how well it holds up nowadays since it’s so old and I was a lot younger when it came out.
The Ring remake (not the original Japanese one) takes the cake for me. I couldn’t sleep the first nor second nights I saw it.
Blood Quantum, for the humour and great cast. Outback, for being based in a true story.
My vote goes to The Vanishing (1988).
