The Ring and other similar Japanese horror movies from those era were by far the scariest horror films.
It had a mysterious otherworldly feeling to it, wasn't scared of being filled with nasty jumpscares so you were on edge at all times and they actually had pretty good stories and atmosphere as well.
I wonder if we ever go back to that golden age of actual scary horror
It Follows fricked me the first time I saw it. Didn't help that I had nightmares when I was a kid about the terminator slowly walking towards me to kill me, and my family would have to move and eventually he would catch up.
For me it's the fact that it always knows where you are and never stops. Sex having aspect aside I always thought that would be scary even when I was a kid
The It Follows monster is pretty easy to beat as long as you have some money to afford travel expenses. >Fly to other side of the world >Wait a few months for the monster to walk half-way around the world to get you >Once it gets close, fly back to other side of world >Rinse and repeat
I'm pretty sure it can hitch a ride on a plane as well. The thing to keep in mind is that it's not some mindless automaton blindly marching towards the target, it's actually capable of thinking and could probably violate the "rules" any time it so desires. Personally, I'd say your best bet is to somehow frick/rape a rich and famous person and let them pour their resources into dealing with that shit.
For whatever reason the scene where they try to trap/kill the monster in the pool just totally ruined my immersion in the film. Kino up to that point though, and I think the idea of a monster that camouflages itself as random people is interesting.
Patrician answers. May you all be smothered in breasts and riches.
My vote really wants to go to Skinamarink, but hell no. This movie did so many goddamn things deliciously right, but in opposition; fricked just as many things up. So much potential. Frustrating.
It's a competently made movie and I don't understand the hate it gets for not being 10/10 perfection in a genre where people pride themselves on watching every 3/10 moronic budget movie with plastic skeletons on strings
You ever see the rack on that motivational speaker girl with the genetic disorder that makes her look all fricked up? (That's mean, but I don't know how better to describe her)
Spoiler because she is scary looking.
I've heard her boobs are real. I don't know what the basis for this is, but basically that she just naturally has highly fiberous breast tissue (the good kind of boobs), and because she has 0% body fat, and only weights like 60lbs they look massive on her.
>besides the disorder that makes her look like a fallout ghoul she looks decent
... she does have a kind of endearing cuteness to her though.
The scene at the end, the cell phone footage I mean, Is really good, even ignoring the jump scare. In the theme of Alice being haunted by her own death, the thing I liked most about it wasn't actually Alice physically seeing the spectre of her own death, it was the dream/psychic stuff. The mom talking to the scam psychic about these dreams she's having of Alice standing at the foot of her bed, and then Alice talking about having those same dreams from the other perspective before she died. And then the last sessions being the mom no longer able to connect with or see Alice and they move out, but Alice's last session was that she was still there, and her mom couldn't tell she was there anymore.
>spoiler
Yeah exactly. That shit was unnerving and it's not presented as some huge massive reveal with music or anything like that, it's left for the viewer to actually be paying attention to realize how they entwine.Then there's the idea of prophecy and inevitability, making one question whether it was an accident that was destined to happen or suicide because of what she'd seen and dreamt. It's both chilling and very sad.
Yeah the psychic and weird time stuff (Alice and her mom seeing the same thing from different perspectives at their sessions, Alice seeing her own drowned corpse from the future) are the best parts of the movie.

My favorite part about Lake Mungo is the random nazi that shows up in one of the videos and is never addressed at all.

Supposed to be a joke about people wearing inappropriate costumes to parties apparently.
Must've been a fun day on set kek. Also wonder if there are any other easter eggs hidden in the movie.

Not an easter egg, but this is the last shot in the movie, in slow motion as it's showing a bunch of creepy pictures, like the actual Alice in the fake backyard ghost pic.
I do not understand the importance of this video other than to just be creepy looking.
This. I watch a lot of horror including all the recommended ones and most verging on all of it rolls off like nothing or comes across as a lame waste of time. When I got to this one in my list of recommended horrors it was different though. Lake Mungo itself isn't chocked full of things that'll make you turn away from the screen or anything like that, but I think it's the most genuine experience to capture horror I've found in movies. The ending haunted me for days after watching it which was the first time a horror had that effect on me, and I was an adult in college by then. Spoiler: The concept of your own future dead body being the thing to come and take your life from you as a cosmic inevitability really struck me as such a unique way to approach a horror. It really gave me a sense of existential dread.
Hard to be a God but Alexie German. I can’t event explain exactly what makes it so disturbing but it’s by far the most uncomfortable and creepy shit I’ve ever seen.
Hellhouse LLC is the only horror movie that scared me as an adult so I would say that.
If we talk about my childhood, the one that scared me the most was one about some family reunion in the middle of nowhere and then some aliens appeared and took everyone away, I don't know the name of the movie, but everytime I saw a red light in the dark I thought the aliens were coming for me...
you seriously got scared of Hellhouse? The movies are boring as frick and paint by the numbers found footage, it doesnt do anything that isnt done way better in other movies. The whole series is moronic
This movie is unintentionally hilarious. It's about a woman obsessively subjecting people to spine breaking injuries through hypnosis before finally breaking her own spine after leaving a trail of horror in her wake.
Typical woman.
Especially typical woman therapist. >Go in a little depressed >come out with more manufactured trauma than 1 person could possibly have come by naturally
Anything to keep people coming back I guess.
If your movie doesn't have jumpscares, it's not scary. Simple as.
What's the point of building up all that atmosphere and tension if you are never going to release it? It's exactly the equivalent of a joke without a punchline.
I wasted two hours of my life watching expecting for the "SCARIEST" movie of all time and what I got was a miserable meandering piece of shit. Watch Noroi if decent jap horror is what you seek.
You're absolutely correct. In fact I feel like "horror" movies without jumpscares are actually just parasites feeding off of the fact that other movies with jumpscares in them exist.
People are only afraid of the tension in movies without jumpscares because a jumpscare could happen any time.
In a universe where jumpscares didn't exist these horror movies would be extremely boring to the average person. Their only appeal is them teasing a jumpscare that never happens.
I agree that the idea that jumpscares are underappreciated is true, and that people would miss them if they disappeared.
But the idea that horror only comes from a potential jumpscare is just wrong.
Case in point, the Zodiac scene where he kills the couple. The horror in that is because it makes you face that shit like that happens, and it could probably happen to you, or people you know and there's only so much you can do to prevent or avoid it.
Horror is a broad spectrum which is one of the reasons the genre suck, because something like an action movie, MOST people can agree on what an enjoyable action setpiece is. But people think all kinds of different stuff is scary so it's hard to find a consensus outside of jumpscares that just startle anybody.
I'm a bigger fan of existential dread content where the 'horror' is me dwelling on a movie for 2 weeks after watching it, but not everybody is.
Has anyone made a movie that feels like a normal movie in whatever unrelated genre and then you start to notice weird things but first think nothing of it and it gets weirder and weirder?
I would say that could work wonders for someone that's been living under a rock and never heard of/seen Predator. It's literally a stock gung-ho action movie that gets kidnapped by a slasher movie a quarter through.
There is too much Skinamarink dick sucking in this thread. It's alright and has some good stuff, but sucks in too many ways for it to be considered good.
Almost as if Horror is a gay Reddit genre and it’s purposely spammed for demoralization. I certainly didn’t see this thread posted so much a few years ago. Curious!
Because Emirugays are trying to force their autistic waifu onto the board. She's mentally challenged and constantly sounds like she's on the verge of crying. I'm not surprised desperate homosexuals cling onto that type of shit.
I find the Grudge (2004 series) terrifying. Sleep paralysis as a kid is pretty creepy and I use to see some creepy stuff under it. Sleeping on my back is a no go for me even now.
You guys ever see this thing? He was walking in place for me around 10 ft away. I could have walked up to him but didn't.
I usually hallucinated bugs around me as I’m falling asleep. Sometimes it was a big spider on my pillow other times it was a swarm of big ants all over my room. The annoying thing about it was I eventually started to know they’re not real as it was happening and was trying to snap myself out of it, but it still visually looked 100% real. It used to happen almost every week when I was a teenager, nowadays it happens once a year max.

Antichrist starring Willem Dafoe fricked me up. I have a pretty strong stomach for horror but genital mutilation is something that viscerally spooks me
Read the synopsis of it. I'm not a fan of horror but shit like this is revolting to me, not really sure why but when horror involves the supernatural it's not that scary anymore.
She's got a killer body, but I can't stand the way she talks, and she generally associates herself with a group of unimaginably insufferable online personalities, so I don't need to know anything about her personally to just dislike her.
Yeah, it made me angry because of how banal and realistic the scenario and villain in this movie is, it's real human horror. That and being stuck in a stinky barrel with your decomposing friend.
Lot of people shit on that movie but it was pretty good. Definitely amateur/low budget but very fricked up and hard hitting.
Surprised me too, like when the feds found her photo on the fetish website.
I knew it was coming but the buildup where they keep showing the barrel and then he tells her he'll let her go, only to open the barrel and make her get in with Megan's corpse really got to me.
Did you know that you should probably try and run away instead of getting inside of a 55 Gallon drum with the gushy decomposing corpse of your best friend in it?

Western horror movies suck. They have to rely on jump scares to scare people because most westerners are atheists and don’t believe in the supernatural so it’s all silly to them anyway. Basically western horror movies miss soul and honesty.
>They have to rely on jump scares
I don't get this argument because I mostly watch (western) horror and I've come across very few movies this applies to. Maybe if you're only watching the shittiest bargain bin horror.
This is why I like Pulse. People meme the creepy ghost woman scene and blew it out of proportion. But my biggest fear is my current life, where I have no friends, and the internet ruined everything. So Pulse resonates with me a lot.
>Western horror movies suck. They have to rely on jump scares
I fricking wish, that way they would actually be scary. Instead I get this bullshit A24 "Atmospheric horror" bullshit that is extremely boring to watch and has 0 tension.
This didn't scare me but I think it's the best horror movie I've seen. Some jarring things to say about evil. butthole does everything he can to turn this girl's father against her, and even after we have started to wonder about her he just will not budge. Oh well frick it, just kill him and offer the girl some creature comforts.
Paranormal activity was effective, to me. I hate the idea of someone looking at me without realizing I'm being looked at. And stuff like Micah's girlfriend's voice dipping to show she's possessed works.
I'm not saying it was good, it's just north of okay, but Fall scared me more than any other movie I can remember. Imagine if somebody remade it with likable characters.
For me, it is The War Game (1966), a british speculative documentary about the immediate consequences and aftermath of a nuclear strike on greater britain. >it caused infighting within the bbc and government >it was judged by the bbc (on order from the government) as "too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting", and was locked away for 20 years so it didn't make people anti-nuclear
It's also a concise 40 minutes.
If you did a serious study like they did with Airplane, it's probably Seven. I remember when that came out, the last bunch of people out of the theater were just standing around in a group together. None of us knew each other, it was just dark and quiet out, the street was empty, and I had the impression we all just didn't want to be by ourselves or walk to our cars alone. Weird camaraderie with a bunch of strangers. Bear in mind most people went into that movie expecting a standard police procedural.
The exorcist is just a really good movie.
I can watch it over and over again and enjoy it.
It's not scary, I'm sure it was when it came out, but it's just does horror right.
wake in fright is the only film that gave me true internal existential dread. Australia is just so fricking depressing. Requiem for a dream is an entry level example.
Stalker is a distant second, but second none the less.
Horror genre movies being actually scary is for low IQ. Horror is meant to just be interesting, like the shining.
>american watches wake in fright and feels true internal existential dread >australian watches it and laughs about how it's an accurate night out in shitholes
definitely blair witch, watched with some friends, we all where silent the whole movie but had to put a break inbetween from how scared shitless we where.
I agree with the "at the time" but it makes me wonder why do horror movies stop being scary with time (might age well in other departments but not in how much it scares you)

I legitimately thought it was a leaked videotape from the government when I watched it. That's how it was marketed.
Took me years after that when I first got internet access for me to find out it was fiction. Yeah I was fricking scared by that shit.
Probably The Ring. And if we're allowed to rate them based on the year they came out (so a movie like the Exorcist obviously had a much bigger impact by then when demons weren't so common and faith was widespread), then the Ring is 100% the victor.
It had damn good effects for the time, and it scares the frick out of everyone since we weren't as tech-savvy back in the day.
A hellish entity coming out of your TV from a cursed tape was exactly what I'd describe as true horror, since it actually keeps scaring you after you finish the movie. The concept is just scary in real life, and when you're all alone and your TV makes a strange noise or suddenly turns on.. or when you watch a certain video / movie you feel you shouldn't have.. it follows you and makes you fear it might happen to you.
You can probably enjoy mystery movies for a similar feel. Horror is a weird genre, like you described we logically don't want to feel bad yet some of us want to bathe in horror games and movies.
For me, I like a protagonist having to deal with some unknown threat, the danger if people being killed and dealing with the pressure of someone else being next, night scenes, and extra points if a detective is investigating.
We all have fears and have things that scare us. Fear is universal. Fear of dying, fear of the unknown, fear of hell, fear of your neighbor, strangers, etc. I think horror is really kind of therapeutic. We're able to face different fears but in a safe way. It's uncomfortable, but the movie ends and you made it through unharmed. I think horror is a really important genre, especially when you're growing up. It's a shame that so many filmmakers just frick it all up.
Am I the only one tempted to say Smile? How much of a loser am I? I'm sure it's not exactly high cinema, I've probably seen scarier movies that I forgot by now.
But those smiles were really fricking disturbing, and by the middle of the movie you never knew when something was an hallucination and you got jumpscares from anywhere.
OH and I don't know how well this holds up, but as a kid pic related horrified me.
That and The Hills have Eyes haunted my childhood.
Also Martyr, but that one is mostly torture porn with a very powerful ending.
ehh smile is scary af. torture porn Black folk don't like it but other horror movie fans do. even as i was watching it i knew i wasn't going to see anything as good for ages and i was right.
I'm sorry but this was the first movie I've shut off out of boredom and contempt since ehh okay Black Phone, but when I started this reply it seemed longer than that. Frick I just hated everyone in it, and for some reason it reminded me of Jack Reacher. What happens at the end?
It's kind of an easy answer, but nothing has ever scared me more than first seeing The Shining as a kid. It's the first movie I remember seeing. It had such a traumatic impact that it made me obsessed with horror ever since. Over 30 years later I work as a horror artist. And looking back I think it's all because I needed a way to work through the trauma of seeing that movie.
I don't know but it's weird that it's happened twice. I guess the new politically correct way to depict sex with teenagers is to have them rape the white man as he screams and begs for it to stop.
I don't know what the context is, but if some jailbait wants to suck your wiener and her mother doesn't mind, why would you freak the frick out like that? If you're don't find dicky attractive and are actually feeling repulsed by the situation, then you're not going to get an erection anyway.
Lmao right, it's funny not knowing the movie because we can only imagine what kind of super contrived situation the writers created for a man to be screaming like that from getting the best blowjob of his life by a hot teenager

I can't remember the name but it's European and the guy is investigating human traffickers after his daughter goes missing, that's not the girls mom. >inb4 taken
Her cold lips lock tightly around your wiener, and they slide down your shaft all the way to the base. Her ice cold tongue enthusiastically flicks side to side as she deepthroats you.
The only movie that managed to make me disturbed was some low budget satanic movie by some moron who used his 5 or 6 year old daughter as an actor.
I forgot the name of the movie but basically the plot is some satanic family wants to open up a portal to hell by using their kid, so they kidnap people and make their own child kill the victims.
I thought it was dumb bullshit at first and found it hilarious, then it really just got uncomfortable to watch the parents of the girl cheer on this hanious shit. Making their own daughter pretend to stab or shoot someone on camera and that being shown to the world as your existence on earth made me physically sick.
I watched the movie like 5 years ago and still occasionally get chills from the cheering. That poor girl in the movie is probably a fricking mess at this point or dead.
It's hard to find the scariest horror movie because it is probably the most subjective genre. As well as that, a lot of horror movies aren't creepy all the way through but have moments of scariness. Picrel is one of them for me. I really liked the ending and certain psychological/supernatural scenes but a lot of the rest of the film is a slowburn. Sinister is another one that has some of the best horror moments I can think of (i.e. the Super 8 films in it) but the rest of the movie is meh.
It’s alright. I watched it in theater with a few friends which probably make it better. And while watching it, some qt held onto me because she was scared. Felt good. But it’s not a movie I would watch again. I think it’s pretty forgettable
It's not really scary but has some jump scares that I think work well. Still was a lot better than I expected from the trailer and advertising. Much more to the story about dealing with trauma etc. Kind of like how Stephen King writes horror as the backdrop to the personal shit going on with the characters.
the soundtrack and sound directing in this movie in general were phenomenal
the visual were too but they were way more subtle
pretty damn good due to those elements despite having very run of the mill writing
Drag Me To Hell gets passed over sometimes because of the black comedy aspects but it shook me both times I saw it. The nightmare dream physics of nasty things being magnetically attracted to her mouth. The demon approaching her door. The witch doctor basically telling her to kiss her ass goodbye. Doom. Dysphoria. Hell. Inescapable curse. It's awful.
Anons I don't know if I'm moronic, I liked the plot and direction of Lake Mungo, but everything until the point Alice's history starts unraveling (that's 50 minutes in), I was fairly bored.
I usually like found-footage but the documentary style of the film was so dull
That's fine anon. I think the middle section is kind of weak. But I like the beginning. >opening, and spooky ghost pictures and videos >fakeout, nothing is happening >just some weird irl stuff is happening? >Oh spooky stuff is happening, and it's worse than you thought.
But the movie's pretty short, so I don't think it's a big problem. It would have been a bigger issue for me in a 2+ hour movie.
jesus christ Cinemaphile got totally dominated by redditors...
but to answer op's question, the blair witch, because a lot of people thought it was actually real, there was no need for suspension of belief
>Hereditary
It's been mentioned too much in the thread to be bait. I legitimately thought it was boring, not in a contrarian way but in an almost fell asleep way. I legitimately can't even see what people could find scary about it.
Not being contrarian, not trying to be "cool". I just legitimately don't get it and can't even imagine how it could potentially be scary to someone.
Even movies like skinamarink that weren't for me I could at least imagine how it would scare someone. But hereditary? What the frick???
Misery.
I know it sounds like a boring choice for most because there is no ghost or the like. But its mundaness is what makes it scary to me. Its something that could actually happen to someone in real life.
I think it's the ring
Im in my 40s now but when this came out it scared the shit out of me
Legitimately traumatic
I couldnt sleep with a tv screen in my room for years
I was a child when I watched it and even I wasn't even close to being that scared, pussy
Same except I'm 31, not 40
these imo
also REC
for sure a top 5
The Ring and other similar Japanese horror movies from those era were by far the scariest horror films.
It had a mysterious otherworldly feeling to it, wasn't scared of being filled with nasty jumpscares so you were on edge at all times and they actually had pretty good stories and atmosphere as well.

>It Follows
Sex havers need not apply
imagine getting hung up on the sex thing. I totally forgot that was even how it spread. the spooky part is the monster itself
what was so spooky about the monster
he's tall
For me it's the fact that it always knows where you are and never stops. Sex having aspect aside I always thought that would be scary even when I was a kid
>imagine getting hung up on the central plot point
Ya crazy
The It Follows monster is pretty easy to beat as long as you have some money to afford travel expenses.
>Fly to other side of the world

>Rinse and repeat
i'm pretty sure the monster doesn't "walk", it appears
how would you know when it's going to show up genius? it might show up one day earlier than you expect while you're asleep
>It's on the plane
How does it get across the ocean? Swims of just walks in the seafloor? Or does it switch to a fish??
What if it teleports when it touches salt water? You don't know!
I'm pretty sure it can hitch a ride on a plane as well. The thing to keep in mind is that it's not some mindless automaton blindly marching towards the target, it's actually capable of thinking and could probably violate the "rules" any time it so desires. Personally, I'd say your best bet is to somehow frick/rape a rich and famous person and let them pour their resources into dealing with that shit.
Frick you.
Oh, cool it. You're fine.
>that scene where IT was disguised as that dude's mom
>dies getting humped
my fear was replaced with a fear boner
For whatever reason the scene where they try to trap/kill the monster in the pool just totally ruined my immersion in the film. Kino up to that point though, and I think the idea of a monster that camouflages itself as random people is interesting.

I've heard her boobs are real. I don't know what the basis for this is, but basically that she just naturally has highly fiberous breast tissue (the good kind of boobs), and because she has 0% body fat, and only weights like 60lbs they look massive on her.

Q The Winged Serpent
bricks will be shit
Lake Mungo
the only good answer
Why do people say this every thread? This movie was a fricking bore
It's how it all comes together at the end imo more than the scare. Even the sudden showing of the corpse being fished out the lake was worse.
The scene at the end, the cell phone footage I mean, Is really good, even ignoring the jump scare.
In the theme of Alice being haunted by her own death, the thing I liked most about it wasn't actually Alice physically seeing the spectre of her own death, it was the dream/psychic stuff. The mom talking to the scam psychic about these dreams she's having of Alice standing at the foot of her bed, and then Alice talking about having those same dreams from the other perspective before she died. And then the last sessions being the mom no longer able to connect with or see Alice and they move out, but Alice's last session was that she was still there, and her mom couldn't tell she was there anymore.
>spoiler
Yeah exactly. That shit was unnerving and it's not presented as some huge massive reveal with music or anything like that, it's left for the viewer to actually be paying attention to realize how they entwine.Then there's the idea of prophecy and inevitability, making one question whether it was an accident that was destined to happen or suicide because of what she'd seen and dreamt. It's both chilling and very sad.
Yeah the psychic and weird time stuff (Alice and her mom seeing the same thing from different perspectives at their sessions, Alice seeing her own drowned corpse from the future) are the best parts of the movie.
My favorite part about Lake Mungo is the random nazi that shows up in one of the videos and is never addressed at all.
Supposed to be a joke about people wearing inappropriate costumes to parties apparently.
Must've been a fun day on set kek. Also wonder if there are any other easter eggs hidden in the movie.
Not an easter egg, but this is the last shot in the movie, in slow motion as it's showing a bunch of creepy pictures, like the actual Alice in the fake backyard ghost pic.
I do not understand the importance of this video other than to just be creepy looking.
Atmospherelets aren't welcome around here
Definitely has one of the spookiest scenes, and I find the whole atmosphere of the movie to be unsettling (but also weirdly comfy.)
dogshit waste of time movie about some gross prostitute
This. I watch a lot of horror including all the recommended ones and most verging on all of it rolls off like nothing or comes across as a lame waste of time. When I got to this one in my list of recommended horrors it was different though. Lake Mungo itself isn't chocked full of things that'll make you turn away from the screen or anything like that, but I think it's the most genuine experience to capture horror I've found in movies. The ending haunted me for days after watching it which was the first time a horror had that effect on me, and I was an adult in college by then. Spoiler: The concept of your own future dead body being the thing to come and take your life from you as a cosmic inevitability really struck me as such a unique way to approach a horror. It really gave me a sense of existential dread.
the exorcist. no joking
idk ju-on i saw it when i was i kid
Is this Emiru?
yeah
Hard to be a God but Alexie German. I can’t event explain exactly what makes it so disturbing but it’s by far the most uncomfortable and creepy shit I’ve ever seen.
Dropped the movie after 1.5 hours, felt really exhausted and had no clue about what's going on
>people being boring and disgusting for 3 hours
Frick that. German's early stuff is exponentially more interesting.
Dead man's letters, the eventual life experience in 10 years
Hellhouse LLC is the only horror movie that scared me as an adult so I would say that.
If we talk about my childhood, the one that scared me the most was one about some family reunion in the middle of nowhere and then some aliens appeared and took everyone away, I don't know the name of the movie, but everytime I saw a red light in the dark I thought the aliens were coming for me...
>some family reunion in the middle of nowhere and then some aliens appeared and took everyone away
was it Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County
Google tells me it might be.
Either Alien Abduction or the movie it's a remake of, UFO Abduction/The McPherson Tape.
>Is that... a clown mannequin in a location different from where we put it?
>Help me, Black personman!
It spooked me a bit as well.
you seriously got scared of Hellhouse? The movies are boring as frick and paint by the numbers found footage, it doesnt do anything that isnt done way better in other movies. The whole series is moronic
any capeshit
seconded
Careful, this traumatized a generation in the early 2000's.
frick
You might be joking but that jump scare makes the movie and legit creeped me out for months. Shame the rest of the movie does not really hold up.
I mean I wasn't really joking. Maybe a little with the picture, but the statement is pretty much true.
What this from again?
The one about the video tape.
you think some cheeky janitor jizzed on that prop's mouth?
This shit creeped me out
The thought of aliens torturing me every night and then erasing my memories of it fricked me up when I was 13.
>and then erasing my memories of it
That's kind of nice of them though. No?
The body keeps the score.. when the boy grew up he wouldn't be able to make it and have a good life
This movie is unintentionally hilarious. It's about a woman obsessively subjecting people to spine breaking injuries through hypnosis before finally breaking her own spine after leaving a trail of horror in her wake.
Typical woman.
Especially typical woman therapist.
>Go in a little depressed
>come out with more manufactured trauma than 1 person could possibly have come by naturally
Anything to keep people coming back I guess.
This is unironically one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Is that a heckin Asian girl? AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH I'M GOING INSAAAAAANE
Asian girls are scary
Yeah I also saw that video essay telling me this is supposed to be le scariest scene ever
Video essays are for midwits, but this was indeed very scary
It's not this scene that makes it scary. It's the idea of being immortal and alone that brings up a certain dread feeling.
Is...is that a person...WALKING TOWARDS ME AND STUMBLING SLIGHTLY?? AAAAAAAAHHHHHH
only right answer ITT
If your movie doesn't have jumpscares, it's not scary. Simple as.
What's the point of building up all that atmosphere and tension if you are never going to release it? It's exactly the equivalent of a joke without a punchline.
I wasted two hours of my life watching expecting for the "SCARIEST" movie of all time and what I got was a miserable meandering piece of shit. Watch Noroi if decent jap horror is what you seek.
You're absolutely correct. In fact I feel like "horror" movies without jumpscares are actually just parasites feeding off of the fact that other movies with jumpscares in them exist.
People are only afraid of the tension in movies without jumpscares because a jumpscare could happen any time.
In a universe where jumpscares didn't exist these horror movies would be extremely boring to the average person. Their only appeal is them teasing a jumpscare that never happens.
Jumpscares are underappreciated in general.
I agree that the idea that jumpscares are underappreciated is true, and that people would miss them if they disappeared.
But the idea that horror only comes from a potential jumpscare is just wrong.
Case in point, the Zodiac scene where he kills the couple. The horror in that is because it makes you face that shit like that happens, and it could probably happen to you, or people you know and there's only so much you can do to prevent or avoid it.
Horror is a broad spectrum which is one of the reasons the genre suck, because something like an action movie, MOST people can agree on what an enjoyable action setpiece is. But people think all kinds of different stuff is scary so it's hard to find a consensus outside of jumpscares that just startle anybody.
I'm a bigger fan of existential dread content where the 'horror' is me dwelling on a movie for 2 weeks after watching it, but not everybody is.
man pulse was terrible, i actually cannot believe its so highly regarded
>she le walked... towards le camera??
no no no, this can't be real, this can't be happening bros!!!!
This scene is top tier but the movie overall sucks ass.
The one I'm making about how I thought spanish women could be trusted
Has anyone made a movie that feels like a normal movie in whatever unrelated genre and then you start to notice weird things but first think nothing of it and it gets weirder and weirder?
Something Wild comes to mind, but that's just a thriller initially disguised as a romcom.
I would say that could work wonders for someone that's been living under a rock and never heard of/seen Predator. It's literally a stock gung-ho action movie that gets kidnapped by a slasher movie a quarter through.
Audition, but it's hard to go in without knowing it's horror nowadays.
Shaun of the Dead kinda fits that criteria.
That movie popped into my mind too. Maybe it's because I have been quoting it for most of my adult life though.
Not horror and someone will probably be mean to me for saying this, but you might enjoy the first few episodes of WandaVision.
Don't worry anon, I thought wanda vision was interesting too. Definitely one of the better new marvel shows/ movies
Wandavision is actually pretty decent. Of the handful of the marvel slop series, it's at least the most creative.
One Hour Photo
As a kid Fire in the Sky legitimately gave me nightmares and a permanent fear of ayy lmaos.
Anytime I looked out my window at
night and see a satellite or some weird lights, I would immediately close my eyes and hide under the covers.
how much for the doggo?
There is too much Skinamarink dick sucking in this thread. It's alright and has some good stuff, but sucks in too many ways for it to be considered good.
Why is this thread made so much? Like every hour every day this exact thread is made.
Shut up. That's why.
Almost as if Horror is a gay Reddit genre and it’s purposely spammed for demoralization. I certainly didn’t see this thread posted so much a few years ago. Curious!
trips.
Are you saying horror is the /gif/ BBC content of Cinemaphile
capeshit/wokeshit threads are the /gif/ BBC content of Cinemaphile
Because Emirugays are trying to force their autistic waifu onto the board. She's mentally challenged and constantly sounds like she's on the verge of crying. I'm not surprised desperate homosexuals cling onto that type of shit.
what do horror movie threads have to do with emiru and her abusive sexpest wop boyfriend that beats her
No, I meant the “what’s the scariest movie ever” threads. Like every single hour and day they are posted, regardless of post count.
Because horror is shit and everyone's desperate for something actually scary. It's such a neglected genre by people with talent
People like talking about horror and it's a good thread starter.
>No bullshit answers
I'm sure you've come to the right place sir.
she looks like she has an incredible tummy
I find the Grudge (2004 series) terrifying. Sleep paralysis as a kid is pretty creepy and I use to see some creepy stuff under it. Sleeping on my back is a no go for me even now.
You guys ever see this thing? He was walking in place for me around 10 ft away. I could have walked up to him but didn't.
I usually hallucinated bugs around me as I’m falling asleep. Sometimes it was a big spider on my pillow other times it was a swarm of big ants all over my room. The annoying thing about it was I eventually started to know they’re not real as it was happening and was trying to snap myself out of it, but it still visually looked 100% real. It used to happen almost every week when I was a teenager, nowadays it happens once a year max.
Maybe you aren't hallucinating and you just live in low income housing?
This guy just called
a poorgay.
>would start falling asleep in class
>jerk awake screaming because spiders were crawling up my leg
>the one time a real spider was on me I failed to react and it was my brother pointing it out that made me take action
>he looked at me like I was crazy when I explained I hallucinated spiders when drowsy
Antichrist starring Willem Dafoe fricked me up. I have a pretty strong stomach for horror but genital mutilation is something that viscerally spooks me
>genital mutilation is something that viscerally spooks me
Transphobic!!!!!
Read the synopsis of it. I'm not a fan of horror but shit like this is revolting to me, not really sure why but when horror involves the supernatural it's not that scary anymore.
Emiru looks like an Asian guy wearing a wig, I really don’t get the appeal
her navel is S-tier, but that's all I can think of
She's got a killer body, but I can't stand the way she talks, and she generally associates herself with a group of unimaginably insufferable online personalities, so I don't need to know anything about her personally to just dislike her.
>Asian guy wearing a wig
god damn, how common is face blindness on this site?
It's not my fault all asian boys look alike and that I'm attracted to them.
does she still date dyrus? imagine going for his secods
She wears geisha level makeup. Way too much.
The movie that scared me the most in recent memory was A tale of two sisters (korean film)
Hereditary
I feel like found footage movies like megan is missing are effective. Especially when she found her friend's corpse.
The ending to Megan is Missing is gross af.
Yeah, it made me angry because of how banal and realistic the scenario and villain in this movie is, it's real human horror. That and being stuck in a stinky barrel with your decomposing friend.
Surprised me too, like when the feds found her photo on the fetish website.
I knew it was coming but the buildup where they keep showing the barrel and then he tells her he'll let her go, only to open the barrel and make her get in with Megan's corpse really got to me.
Did you know the film was filmed on a $35,000 budget? It's amazing how a setup that simple can produce results.
Did you know that you should probably try and run away instead of getting inside of a 55 Gallon drum with the gushy decomposing corpse of your best friend in it?
She did, but a malnourished teenage girl stuck in a dungeon is no match for a grown man.
Damn. Definitely pretty good for the budget.
Why do these read like shill posts?
Who the frick is going to spend money shilling a low budget found footage movie from 12 years ago on Cinemaphile?
I didn't say they were shill posts, only that they read like them. The way each post was written seemed fake and forced.
Maybe you're not used to genuine enjoyment anymore.
Appeal to incredulity
>barely have money to make indie ff flick
>but have money to advertise it on an image board over a decade later
Makes sense
Lot of people shit on that movie but it was pretty good. Definitely amateur/low budget but very fricked up and hard hitting.
valley of the dolls
Western horror movies suck. They have to rely on jump scares to scare people because most westerners are atheists and don’t believe in the supernatural so it’s all silly to them anyway. Basically western horror movies miss soul and honesty.
>They have to rely on jump scares
I don't get this argument because I mostly watch (western) horror and I've come across very few movies this applies to. Maybe if you're only watching the shittiest bargain bin horror.
This is why I like Pulse. People meme the creepy ghost woman scene and blew it out of proportion. But my biggest fear is my current life, where I have no friends, and the internet ruined everything. So Pulse resonates with me a lot.
>Western horror movies suck. They have to rely on jump scares
I fricking wish, that way they would actually be scary. Instead I get this bullshit A24 "Atmospheric horror" bullshit that is extremely boring to watch and has 0 tension.
The Witch | Black Phillip
and
The girl next door 2007.. kind horror kind creepy
girl next door is inspired by real event and this is why is it catches you
This didn't scare me but I think it's the best horror movie I've seen. Some jarring things to say about evil. butthole does everything he can to turn this girl's father against her, and even after we have started to wonder about her he just will not budge. Oh well frick it, just kill him and offer the girl some creature comforts.
That one webm of the goat walking on two legs is creepier than The Witch
Paranormal activity was effective, to me. I hate the idea of someone looking at me without realizing I'm being looked at. And stuff like Micah's girlfriend's voice dipping to show she's possessed works.
are you a 14-year-old girl?
I'm not saying it was good, it's just north of okay, but Fall scared me more than any other movie I can remember. Imagine if somebody remade it with likable characters.
For me, it is The War Game (1966), a british speculative documentary about the immediate consequences and aftermath of a nuclear strike on greater britain.
>it caused infighting within the bbc and government
>it was judged by the bbc (on order from the government) as "too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting", and was locked away for 20 years so it didn't make people anti-nuclear
It's also a concise 40 minutes.
If you did a serious study like they did with Airplane, it's probably Seven. I remember when that came out, the last bunch of people out of the theater were just standing around in a group together. None of us knew each other, it was just dark and quiet out, the street was empty, and I had the impression we all just didn't want to be by ourselves or walk to our cars alone. Weird camaraderie with a bunch of strangers. Bear in mind most people went into that movie expecting a standard police procedural.
The exorcist is certainly a mix of both scary and depressing. For the time it's amazing and it still holds up very well.
The exorcist is just a really good movie.
I can watch it over and over again and enjoy it.
It's not scary, I'm sure it was when it came out, but it's just does horror right.
Strangely The Exorcist didn't scare me much as a kid. But the older I get and the more I watch it, the scarier it gets.
>What's in my hand?
I personally wouldn't call The Mothman Prophecies a scary movie, but it's definitely weird and creepy and spooked the shit out of my gf.
REC 1 and 2 are the best horror movies ever hands down.
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but REC almost made me cry from being scared. I'm a grown ass man too. REC 1 and 2 are great.
wake in fright is the only film that gave me true internal existential dread. Australia is just so fricking depressing. Requiem for a dream is an entry level example.
Stalker is a distant second, but second none the less.
Horror genre movies being actually scary is for low IQ. Horror is meant to just be interesting, like the shining.
To add, movies that were filmed in 70's new york are depressingly apocalyptic due to the urban decay.
>wake in fright
has a lot of funny parts though
>american watches wake in fright and feels true internal existential dread
>australian watches it and laughs about how it's an accurate night out in shitholes
wolf creek is pretty good
i like the ending car chase real cold when he's laughing at her before shooting her
Audition
Tears of Kali
For me it was Blair Witch Project, obviously at the time.
definitely blair witch, watched with some friends, we all where silent the whole movie but had to put a break inbetween from how scared shitless we where.
I agree with the "at the time" but it makes me wonder why do horror movies stop being scary with time (might age well in other departments but not in how much it scares you)
blair witch only worked because it felt like an actual found footage film, cant do that today
I legitimately thought it was a leaked videotape from the government when I watched it. That's how it was marketed.
Took me years after that when I first got internet access for me to find out it was fiction. Yeah I was fricking scared by that shit.
Probably The Ring. And if we're allowed to rate them based on the year they came out (so a movie like the Exorcist obviously had a much bigger impact by then when demons weren't so common and faith was widespread), then the Ring is 100% the victor.
It had damn good effects for the time, and it scares the frick out of everyone since we weren't as tech-savvy back in the day.
A hellish entity coming out of your TV from a cursed tape was exactly what I'd describe as true horror, since it actually keeps scaring you after you finish the movie. The concept is just scary in real life, and when you're all alone and your TV makes a strange noise or suddenly turns on.. or when you watch a certain video / movie you feel you shouldn't have.. it follows you and makes you fear it might happen to you.
Can we get some genuine answers in here besides The Ring? That movie is not scary.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like horror movies because they all scare me and I don’t like being scared?
No, my brother's like that.
You can probably enjoy mystery movies for a similar feel. Horror is a weird genre, like you described we logically don't want to feel bad yet some of us want to bathe in horror games and movies.
For me, I like a protagonist having to deal with some unknown threat, the danger if people being killed and dealing with the pressure of someone else being next, night scenes, and extra points if a detective is investigating.
Good point anon, I love mysteries, even the creepier ones like Edgar Allen Poe type shit. Maybe I’ll check out that Pale Blue Eye movie.
I've always been the outlier amongst my friends in that I don't like scary movies because the feeling of being scared is just super unpleasant to me.
I don't understand how people can like it.
I am also a giant pussy. I can only watch horror movies if I can spam the space bar when I think a jump scare is coming up.
We all have fears and have things that scare us. Fear is universal. Fear of dying, fear of the unknown, fear of hell, fear of your neighbor, strangers, etc. I think horror is really kind of therapeutic. We're able to face different fears but in a safe way. It's uncomfortable, but the movie ends and you made it through unharmed. I think horror is a really important genre, especially when you're growing up. It's a shame that so many filmmakers just frick it all up.
Am I the only one tempted to say Smile? How much of a loser am I? I'm sure it's not exactly high cinema, I've probably seen scarier movies that I forgot by now.
But those smiles were really fricking disturbing, and by the middle of the movie you never knew when something was an hallucination and you got jumpscares from anywhere.
OH and I don't know how well this holds up, but as a kid pic related horrified me.
That and The Hills have Eyes haunted my childhood.
Also Martyr, but that one is mostly torture porn with a very powerful ending.
ehh smile is scary af. torture porn Black folk don't like it but other horror movie fans do. even as i was watching it i knew i wasn't going to see anything as good for ages and i was right.
I'm sorry but this was the first movie I've shut off out of boredom and contempt since ehh okay Black Phone, but when I started this reply it seemed longer than that. Frick I just hated everyone in it, and for some reason it reminded me of Jack Reacher. What happens at the end?
It's kind of an easy answer, but nothing has ever scared me more than first seeing The Shining as a kid. It's the first movie I remember seeing. It had such a traumatic impact that it made me obsessed with horror ever since. Over 30 years later I work as a horror artist. And looking back I think it's all because I needed a way to work through the trauma of seeing that movie.
Ahhhhh! Noooo! Do NOT suck my dick! Do NOT suck my dick!
The scariest indeed
the frick movie is this
I don't know but it's weird that it's happened twice. I guess the new politically correct way to depict sex with teenagers is to have them rape the white man as he screams and begs for it to stop.
Safe by 1 second
I don't know what the context is, but if some jailbait wants to suck your wiener and her mother doesn't mind, why would you freak the frick out like that? If you're don't find dicky attractive and are actually feeling repulsed by the situation, then you're not going to get an erection anyway.
Lmao right, it's funny not knowing the movie because we can only imagine what kind of super contrived situation the writers created for a man to be screaming like that from getting the best blowjob of his life by a hot teenager
I can't remember the name but it's European and the guy is investigating human traffickers after his daughter goes missing, that's not the girls mom.
>inb4 taken
I've seem this posted several times by now, but I never got a sauce.
Any kind Anon that can help out?
a serbian film
It's not A Serbian Film, although a similar scene almost plays out in that movie.
I was going to say I'm almost positive that isn't from it because you can clearly see the lady is speaking english along with the subtitles.
What movie is it?
>What movie is it?
I have no idea. All I know is it's definitely not A Serbian Film.
>AAAAAHH NOOOO DON'T SUCK MY DICK LITTLE GIRL NOOOO AAARRGH
Must be a wild flick, that's for sure.
He's screaming because she's non-white. Not because she's young.
Her cold lips lock tightly around your wiener, and they slide down your shaft all the way to the base. Her ice cold tongue enthusiastically flicks side to side as she deepthroats you.
NOOOO DON'T YOU DARE CUDDLE WITH ME, YOU DEMON! YOU'RE TOO COLD STOP AAAAHHHHHHHHH
How scary is j horror compared to typical hollywood horror films?
OP's birth videotape
The only movie that managed to make me disturbed was some low budget satanic movie by some moron who used his 5 or 6 year old daughter as an actor.
I forgot the name of the movie but basically the plot is some satanic family wants to open up a portal to hell by using their kid, so they kidnap people and make their own child kill the victims.
I thought it was dumb bullshit at first and found it hilarious, then it really just got uncomfortable to watch the parents of the girl cheer on this hanious shit. Making their own daughter pretend to stab or shoot someone on camera and that being shown to the world as your existence on earth made me physically sick.
I watched the movie like 5 years ago and still occasionally get chills from the cheering. That poor girl in the movie is probably a fricking mess at this point or dead.
GETSUGAAAA

Strictly speaking I don't think you'd call it a horror movie but the one that filled me with the most dread has to be Green Room
When I had a dream this Tuesday where I was playing MGSV looking for Big Boss' grave and instead I saw a huge statue of Moloch and then Satan
Daisy's Disaster
Simple but effective
Huh, this is from my country and I didn't even know about it.
What did you think of Hostel?
Is there a chance that shit like that happens or used to happen there?
It's hard to find the scariest horror movie because it is probably the most subjective genre. As well as that, a lot of horror movies aren't creepy all the way through but have moments of scariness. Picrel is one of them for me. I really liked the ending and certain psychological/supernatural scenes but a lot of the rest of the film is a slowburn. Sinister is another one that has some of the best horror moments I can think of (i.e. the Super 8 films in it) but the rest of the movie is meh.
Forgot to put image.
Anyone watched this btw?
Some anon suggested it on another thread
It’s alright. I watched it in theater with a few friends which probably make it better. And while watching it, some qt held onto me because she was scared. Felt good. But it’s not a movie I would watch again. I think it’s pretty forgettable
It's not really scary but has some jump scares that I think work well. Still was a lot better than I expected from the trailer and advertising. Much more to the story about dealing with trauma etc. Kind of like how Stephen King writes horror as the backdrop to the personal shit going on with the characters.
>Pov my penis
the soundtrack and sound directing in this movie in general were phenomenal
the visual were too but they were way more subtle
pretty damn good due to those elements despite having very run of the mill writing
>Are you sure?
scariest part of the movie
It's tiktok the movie
Enter the Void on shrooms
I'm embarrassed to admit that some parts of Hell House LLC spooked me proper.
Whoever wrote the dialogue should be drawn and quartered thoughever
For me it's the bed/girl scene.
Not really a horror movie but Lord of the Flies (1963) scared the shit out of me.
I hate that she bleached her hair.
hellraiser fricked me up as a kid.
The grifter
Life
Reminder that she gets fricked by Mizkif.
I would rather be dead than know anything about any of these people.
that little fricker is so ugly i have no idea how he pulled her
He's literally out of her league. He's like a 7/10 while she's a 4/10 at best.
Drag Me To Hell gets passed over sometimes because of the black comedy aspects but it shook me both times I saw it. The nightmare dream physics of nasty things being magnetically attracted to her mouth. The demon approaching her door. The witch doctor basically telling her to kiss her ass goodbye. Doom. Dysphoria. Hell. Inescapable curse. It's awful.
Anons I don't know if I'm moronic, I liked the plot and direction of Lake Mungo, but everything until the point Alice's history starts unraveling (that's 50 minutes in), I was fairly bored.
I usually like found-footage but the documentary style of the film was so dull
That's fine anon. I think the middle section is kind of weak. But I like the beginning.
>opening, and spooky ghost pictures and videos
>fakeout, nothing is happening
>just some weird irl stuff is happening?
>Oh spooky stuff is happening, and it's worse than you thought.
But the movie's pretty short, so I don't think it's a big problem. It would have been a bigger issue for me in a 2+ hour movie.
What's Asmon's endgame promoting these other people? He wants some kind of comedy troupe? I bet underneath it all there is some tax benefit to it all.
jesus christ Cinemaphile got totally dominated by redditors...
but to answer op's question, the blair witch, because a lot of people thought it was actually real, there was no need for suspension of belief
Lake Mungo
Hereditary
and Pet Sematary 1989
>Hereditary
It's been mentioned too much in the thread to be bait. I legitimately thought it was boring, not in a contrarian way but in an almost fell asleep way. I legitimately can't even see what people could find scary about it.
Not being contrarian, not trying to be "cool". I just legitimately don't get it and can't even imagine how it could potentially be scary to someone.
Even movies like skinamarink that weren't for me I could at least imagine how it would scare someone. But hereditary? What the frick???
When The Wind Blows.
Misery.
I know it sounds like a boring choice for most because there is no ghost or the like. But its mundaness is what makes it scary to me. Its something that could actually happen to someone in real life.
if I tell you that 99% of horror if you flinching to a human face jumping into the screen you will be cured of "horror"
I unironically really enjoyed blair witch project because it didnt do that, I felt creeped out watching it in broad daylight for the first time
