I’m bored and want some suggestions! I love extreme cinema so throw it at me!
Cabin in the Woods! Fantastic movie
I’ll throw some I haven’t seen here yet
Talk to Me is one of the best horror movies I’ve seen. It’s original, well written, and nobody acts like they’re in a horror movie or makes blatantly stupid decisions.
If you haven’t seen The Others yet, it set the bar for what supernatural horror could be.
The new boogyman movie is a little ‘modern’, but it’s solid and has some really cool scenes.
Tigers are not Afraid was one that came out of nowhere to me, it’s a Mexican indie movie about children dealing with cartels, and it’s heavy as hell.
For less actually scary and more campy, Satanic Hispanics was a lot more fun than I expected. It’s an anthology movie similar to VHS with each piece made by a well known Hispanic director.
And if you want tone upset for the rest of your life, watch Antichrist by Lars Von Trier and Mother! From Darren Aronofsky without reading anything about either of those movies.
Wow there is some great gems here!
The Others is amazing and I remember being blown away by it when I watched it. Totally love it!
The new Boogyman was probably one of my favorite more last year. It actually made me really get into it and i felt it wasn’t all jumpscare like many horror movies do today. I love horror movies that build it up and takes it time.
Talk to me… Omg what a great flix. I think I have to watch it again. I’m looking forward to see what comes next from the director.
Oh and Antichrist. Wow, that movie was such a mixed bag for me. I really liked it until the ending, but I won’t go into spoiler territory. It’s definitely one of the more fucked up movies I’ve seen, but I wouldn’t say it’s really that bad.
By the way, if you’re into Lars Von Trier then The House that Jack built is pretty good as well. And if you’re interested in something that is not horror related Melancholia is a great movie, but it might be a hard watch if you’re not to patient. The reason I love it is because it truly shows how depression can be.
Pandorum and Tusk
I like most Vincent price. So House on Haunted Hill from 1959 is pretty great. I really like campy movies too. So… Yea. Tools in The Wax Museum and The Last Man on Earth too.
Cabin in the Woods is great.
Friday the 13th.
Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Truth or Dare.
Escape Room.
Ready or Not.
Have you watched the Saw series? I think you would like them.
I have. And mostly do. Though the last one, Saw X, sucked imo. It didn’t really feel like his character would have let that ending play out that way.
Have you seen the Hostel series? Those are good too.
I loved Saw X but then again I’m a big fan of everything John Kramer…
Yes. I think the first two ok and the last horrible 😅
John Carpenter’s Apocalypse trilogy
Color out of Space (with Nicolas Cage)
Mandy
Silent Hill (2006) - Games are better than the movie, and the movie’s story doesn’t follow the games at all, but it has a good atmosphere
Did you read the series Annihilation? Curious what you thought about the books vs the movie. Oddly, I liked the movie better. Books were a bit too abstract(?) for me
No, I only watched the movie
Holy crap what a list! I gotta see a few of them. Some I’ve already seen but thanks for such a great list of movies 🥰
I didn’t put them in any particular order. They’re all good in their own way.
Highly recommend Thing and Red State.
Red State is legit terrifying.
Gonna throw Aliens in the mix. Great atmosphere, classic 80s one-liners. Truly an iconic movie.
I ended up watching Us. It was OK but the ending kinda was meh. Didn’t make to much sense to me.
Only bc I don’t see it suggested yet. The Ring was the first movie to really scare me.
Splinter
I love a good creature feature, and this one had a very unique, and awful creature!
I just saw Truth or Die. Pretty fun flix!
Oculus was pretty good, IMO. Same vibe as the first Ring movie. Brutal ending.
My man! I loved it.
Oh hell yeah, this movie was so damn fun, very well made, great premise!
Arachnophobia is one of the best movies ever made, and almost all of it still holds up really really well as they used all practical effects.
The Thing 1982
They Live (not really horror but kinda)
The original alien movies
It follows
The Ritual 2017
And if you like reading, may I suggest just reading the SCP articles. There are over 8000 of them and a lot of them are very good.
Sinister and Hereditary are my top 2! It’s hard to scare me, but those were FREAKY without being too cheesy or whatever that a lot of movies do.
I’m halfway through It Comes at Night and I like it a lot.
Another good one I saw recently was Midsommar but after some reflection I’m not sure it falls under horror any more
I would say it does fall under horror.
You’re probably right. Just looking back in feels like it could also fall under satire or comedy. I’m not sure why I feel this way. Many of the scenes are so over the top I’m sure Arri Aster knew what he was doing. Interesting movie though.
The thing. Read nothing else about it.
The Descent and Barbarian are both excellent.
The descent was really fun! I did not really like Barbarian that much, there where parts that just annoyed me for some reason but worth a watch for sure to see if you like it.
I can understand that about Barbarian. The hard turn it takes about halfway through isn’t as much fun during rewatches. But I still appreciate the subversion, and it does eventually get back on track. I definitely wouldn’t fault someone for not being into it though.
