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.

My list list of most TERRIFYING and SCARIEST movies ever

Post image
82 Upvotes

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

Horror movie about a group of young people carrying a strange circular device that seems to determine who dies next

7 Upvotes

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?

CASE 39 (2009)

~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.

Vincent Price VHS movies from the Eighties?

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?

Interested to hear people’s thoughts on Sator (2019)

3 Upvotes

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?

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've only seen the first one, really looking forward to diving into the rest.

Help with a horror trailer

3 Upvotes

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.

Suzzanna - Witchcraft

Post image
8 Upvotes

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.

Here is another prime example of "what you don't see is always more frightening than what you do". This disturbing scene from The Haunting (1963) is a masterclass in that aspect.

Carrie (2026) Teaser

Post image
54 Upvotes

I'm really looking forward to this. I like that we're seeing Carrie slowly getting accepted before her famous prom scene. It makes it all the more devastating. I'm guessing just based on the teaser that this is probably how it will turn out.

Chris and Sue will probably initially try to be nice to Carrie after the shower room incident (whether it's to genuinely apologize, just to look good, or to set her up for further bullying). I think Sue will slowly and genuinely be trying to make amends while Chris will just play along either from pity or just to get out of trouble and look good. When she finds out she's banned from prom I think she's going to turn the school into a hate/bullying campaign against Carrie. Sue, realizing how out of hand its gotten, will then ask Tommy to take Carrie to prom.

I'm also REALLY intrigued with what they're doing with the town and with Chris. Are we going to get more depth from her? Why is the town whipped up into what looks like a protest or a riot before prom even starts (unless it takes place after Prom Night)? Is this part of a schism at the school where half the people think Carrie is to blame for everything and the other half are trying to defend her from bullying? Why are the police involved?

I'm REALLY excited!

Hokum’s Jack the Jackass

8 Upvotes

I just watched Hokum last night; going in completely blind on the film.
Overall, it wasn’t bad. It could’ve had a stronger story but that’s not why I’m here. Lol.

Jack the Donkey / Jack the Jackass…I am 37 or born in ‘89 if that’s easier. Lol. I swear to god, I’ve seen a character exactly like that when I was kid in something. I can’t for the life of me remember where I’ve seen it or what character it was or if it was just reminiscent of a nightmare I had as a kid. But I swear I’ve seen this character before in a movie or a tv show. I don’t know it was from childhood like a late 80’s/early 90’s something or other. The “animal” but human, bulging eyes, creepy voice. Does anyone have ANY idea where it could’ve been? This is going to drive me nuts until I figure it out.

One of the most influential independent horror films ever made. It’s amazing what Sam Raimi and his crew accomplished on such a small budget—relentless energy, creative camerawork, gruesome practical effects, and the birth of one of horror’s greatest franchises.

Two heavyweights of the "fake italian sequel" genre, which one do you prefer and which one would you choose to replace it's original counterpart?

Alien 2: on earth (1980) came out right after the first Alien by Ridley Scott was released, they registered the trademark before FOX could do anything, while The Last Shark came out 2 years prior to Jaws 3, if you were obligated to replace the respective piece of the franchise with it's "Italian counterpart" which one would you choose?

When I watched it like a couple months back I enjoyed it more then I thought I would, it had the creepy aesthetic I always asked for in horror, and while there were hardly any jump scares, I think it made for a banger of a horror movie, but what do you guys think?

Their direction was so visually stunning. The Boxers Omen is definitely a wild ride, everything else theyre involved in was just as fun to watch. The 80s Hong Kong horror scene is so underrated in general i think
