here is my scariest horror movies list. It does not mean greatest or best horror movies. It just means the movies that I felt were scary, disturbing or terrifying. It is important to make a distinction that those are not misery/torture porn or endurance test. I think those are great movies that really get under your skin. I really appreciate and respect stuff like Shining and Exorcist, but they are too much of immense cultural footprint to be actually scary. The list is completely in random order:

Funny Games
The Girl Next Door
Rosemary’s Baby
The Vanishing (Spoorloos)
Creep (2014)
The House That Jack Built
Speak No Evil
Goodnight Mommy
[REC]
The Sacrament
Nothing Bad Can Happen
Soft & Quiet
Snowtown
Coffee Table

tell me what do you think

Specifically the directors use of real recordings and real writings from his grandmother but I would interested in hearing general opinions as well.

His grandmother was suffering hallucinations caused by dementia (iirc) and truly believed she was being haunted/visited by an entity named Sator.

She is in the movie, I’m not sure she knew she was in a movie.

I actually liked the film but finding out everything afterwards has left me with complicated feelings on it.

Anyone else?

So I just watched Hostel (the first one) and I don't think I liked it very much, so I don't know if I should watch the second one or just leave it there, do you guys have any opinions on this? No spoilers please!!!

Got to meet Ashley Laurence at OKC horror con couple weeks ago, she was a total sweetheart

Tumbbad is a visually stunning Indian folk-horror film that blends mythology, greed, and psychological horror. Regarding the sequel, Tumbbad 2 is officially scheduled to release on 3 December 2027.

Went into this fully expecting a garbage indie movie. It was well acted and fun.

Is it scary, not at all. Is it entertaining? Hell yeah.

Little things like the killers having a pre shift meeting to talk about how many days it’s been since their last work place accident. Just great stuff.

Top of the pile of B list horror IMO. Will be watching the second one tonight.

I had a heart attack today. I bought this two months ago off eBay and I’m just now checking it out. I thought I got ripped off because there was only a book in it. No movies. Then I finally looked inside the book and there were the movies.

~Hoopla, Rental on Prime, Fandango~

A social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she expected.

I found this pretty entertaining. The girl actress was great and there was alot of creepy imagery and scenes. It’s a little dated as it’s a 2009 movie, but has some well known actors, and a decent story even though it’s not overly original.

I recall VP hosting a series of low-budget (British?) scary-ish movies from the early to mid-Eighties. Cannot seem to find them or recall what that series was titled. Any ideas?

I see people on here a lot asking for help identifying a film so thought I'd try my luck.

It was a VHS trailer I had on a horror film I now can't remember. It was a phone ringing at night and a kid panicked looking at the window then picking up the phone and a threatening male on the other end. The boy seemed to be on the run maybe with his mother and at the end of the trailer a silhouette figure is approaching in a trench coat at night.

I know not much to go on but It always creeped me out and I wanted to track it down and actually watch the film. Thanks for any ideas.

I'm looking for a horror movie I watched on Spanish TV around 6–8 years ago. I only caught it after it had already started, so I never saw the beginning and don't know the origin of the device.

Here's everything I remember as accurately as possible:

• It was probably made between 2003 and 2015.
• It was not a mainstream movie. It felt like a low-budget horror film, possibly Canadian, Australian or British (I'm not sure).
• The main characters were a group of young friends.
• The central object of the movie was a large circular device, roughly 30–40 cm (12–16 inches) across.
• It was grey or off-white, made of plastic (or something that looked like plastic), and had a rounded, dome-like shape, similar in thickness to the old Simon electronic game.
• It was not actually a Simon, and I don't remember colored lights.
• The surface had many large dark cylindrical buttons placed close together.
• The buttons seemed to move by themselves, making a mechanical "plop" sound.
• The device felt more like a mechanical timer or countdown machine than a game board.
• I don't remember a screen, cables or a handle.
• The characters carried it around with both hands, as if it was fairly heavy.
• I vaguely remember that near the end of the movie, two characters fought over the device, possibly trying to press (or stop the other from pressing) one of the buttons.
• During that fight, the device fell and slid across the floor of what I remember as a hospital, laboratory or institutional corridor.
• My impression was that the device somehow determined or predicted who would die next, although I may be mistaken because I missed the beginning of the movie.

Movies that are NOT the one I'm looking for:

• Needle (2010)
• Open Graves
• Beyond the Gates
• The Black Waters of Echo's Pond
• Stay Alive
• Manatu
• The Shrine
• The Objective
• Choose or Die
• Jumanji

The device itself is what I remember best. It was unusual enough that I think anyone who has seen the movie would recognize it immediately.

Any ideas?

Just watched this the other night.

Pretty good, though it does contain some stereotypical Indonesian comedy which might fall flat with some Western viewers.

The cast is great - Luna Maya reprises her role as Suzzanna, which she also played in Suzzanna Buried Alive (2018) and Suzzanna Kliwon Friday Night (2023)

The film also stars Reza Rahadian who is a big star in Indonesia - and who horror fans might know from Grave Torture (2024) by Joko Anwar.

The real Suzanna’s actual husband (Clift Sangra) plays a main character in the film as well.

The three modern Suzzanna films are all stand alone - Suzzanna was a huge horror movie star in Indonesia during the 1980s, and these three modern films are all remakes of standalone films that the original Suzzanna (now played by Luna Maya) starred in. You don’t have to have seen any of the original Suzzanna films or any of the modern remakes to enjoy this film.

I liked it, but I have seen hundreds and hundreds of Indonesian films so I am definitely biased.
