    If I was to watch a scary movie like a shit my pants kind what should I watch? I want one that I don’t need to think too hard about the storyline and doesn’t involve sci-fi.

      Sinister is great. Ethan Hawke discovers snuff films in depicting gruesome murders in the new family home.

      Talk to Me is really great recent release. Group of friends discover how to conjure spirits with an embalmed hand.

      Barbarian is also fantastic. Girl stays in air BnB and discovers a hidden door in basement leading to a labyrinth tunnel of horror.

      The Platform (2019) spanish film.

      It is sci-fi but not aliens, time travel etc. It’s basically the human condition gone wrong (or right).

      Scared the shit outta me.

        As a zombie film buff, train to Busan is one of the best imo. I’m due for a rewatch

      by sci-fi do you mean computers/technology/spaceships or are you including anything supernatural?

      I walked out of the cinema within 10 minutes of the start of The Ring when it came out. I don’t generally do scary movies and I was literally the only one in the cinema so I just noped out of there.

        Yeah like aliens and shit and time travelling crap. I’m looking for something that will sound cool on the big speakers. I’ve watched bits of Venom and that was OK only because there was funny bits in it. Looking for something like Amityville horror or Misery but like this century.

        I watched that when it came out. All I remember is the guy putting his feet into the slippers and that’s the reason I still check my shoes to this day.

      Hard Candy and Mysterious Skin are pretty dark/raw but I don’t know if they’re quite horror.
