genuinely unironically what is the scariest film of all time
Probably truman show
I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I'm terrified of ending up an old mentally ill loser that never amounted to anything and has nobody and all I have left is my own fantasies of what could have been.
not a horror movie but I don't remember the name about a kid who gets abducted and raised by his abductor. he get brainwashed and abused by his captor and as a teen he escapes and returns home. very screwed up. this movie terrorized me
>>215142724real life.the rest is fiction to make you believe there's something worse and scarier than waking up every day. but there's not.
>>215142838The skin I live in?
Pretty subjective but the only "genre classic" horror film that has aged even remotely well is The Exorcist. Shit like Rosemary's Baby and The Birds just show how fucking retarded boomers are and most Gen X era favorites are just genre-aware ironic crap
>>215142856AGP kino
>>215142838>I Know My First Name Is Steven 1989true story is what made it scary
>>215142724sometimes I get the most creeped out by random scenes in otherwise shitty movies, even more than the best horror movies.There's this scene in The Invasion (of the body snatchers remake) where a creepy guy is knocking on her door and night and trying to get let inside. Idk why it really got to me, it's just an okay scene. I swear right after this scene, it's like 2am and someone starts banging on my front door irl, a LOT and very loudly. Like a fucking horror movie knock.You will never have a movie moment that scares you as much as that shit scared me.
>>215142860Rosemary's Baby is peak jew horror.
>>215142817good pick. basically in the same boat right now and it's terrifying
this or midsomar
>>215142724Not a film but a scene in Persona. The one when she confesses fucking teenage boys on a beach. I swear to God I find it absolutely terrifying.
>>215142936If by that you mean, "unintentional redpill on a shadowy cabal who hate christ and want to run the world," then you might be right. There is not a single point at which that movie is scary, though.
>>215142724umm Threads, obvio
>>215142817>>215142940Dying young sounds scarier to me.>Oh no I'll have regrets!!!Yeah, after you lived life
>>215142724Having watched many many horror movies, Hereditary for me.Other contenders are, Skinamarink for vibes, The Girl Next Door for groundedness, Possum for standalone effective scenes, Audition for the ending, Goodnight Mommy for parenting stuff, and maybe Incantation for asian supernatural horror
>>215142915>older brother later became a serial killer
>>215142817Pussy foot faggot lmao
>>215142724Not a film but black mirror just cause of how real and possible every single episode is.
>>215143199You ever watched Barbarian? I liked Weapons so I was wondering if it's any good.
Jesus Christ is this thread the reddit/tumblr containment zone? What's with all these pussies lmao
>>215142724Le conjuring 2 made me jump 1,000 times but it's been ages since I've seen it.
>>215142724Birdemic
>>215142724I'm too autistic to find a movie scary so the genre is lost on me
>>215143639Anon knowsSecret bird plots
>>215142724If I thought about it it probably wouldn't be a horror film. More likely one that shone a light on the ultimate futility of life and the world in general.
>>215142724On the Beach
>>215142724Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018) a South Korean picture, is way up there for meJacob's Ladder, with Tim Robbins, freaked me the fuck out when I was a kid. Shouldn't have been watching that... is what I would say if I were a wussyNoroi: The Curse (2005) as well
>>215142975I have masturbated to that scene.
>>215142724Either Insidious or The Conjuring. No old horror movies are actually scary, those ones will at least make you jump.
Prince of Darkness
Knock Knock haunted me for weeks
>>215142724Trash Humpers
>>215142724I like horror films like that where the undead/satanists/body snatchers just stare while standing still or walking slowly.
>>215142724VideodromeThe Fly
>>215142961Evil Dead 2 is more comedic than scary
For me, it was the fourth kindIt completely shaped my understanding of god

>>215147777checked and kek'd
I was 15 when I watched in 2012. Spend a whole week checking my bedroom before going to sleep, making sure there was no serial killer with a crow mask and a handycam.
>>215142724Most horror films are shit, you go into them expecting to be scared and so it never works. The diner scene in Mulholland Drive though was the first thing in years that actually made me pause and look away.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UozhOo0Dt4o
>>215142724Amour by Haneke.Messiah of Evil was trash.
>>215142915>>215143333So I just read in to this. It’s insanely fishy and I feel theres a lot more to it. >Kidnapper’s cabin was about 100 feet from the child’s grandfather’s cabin>After fleeing, his father basically wrote it all off and said he didn’t need any therapy >Kid gets kicked out of the house after all this>Kidnapper only spend ls 5 years in jail and his accomplices mostly get off scott free>Prosecutors didn’t even bother to try him in certain counties >Steven is later killed in a suspicious hit and run on his motorcycle >Older brother becomes a serial killerYeah Stevens parents sold him to Parnell. And they must have been involved in some serious evil shady shit. It’s so obvious
>>215142724I think Shivers is pretty chilling.Even tho it's kinda goofy and date, the implication of sex zombies is viscerally unsettling.
>>215142724
>>21514272428 days later has to be up there
Marebito was pretty unsettling too, in a Lovecraft way. More of a fantasy than a horror film. Audition is more of a ghost story than anything else.
>>215148349FROM THE TWISTED MIND OF CHUD CHUDDERSON
>>215143199>Having watched many many horror moviesNothing you listed was a horror movie, just memeslop.
>>215142860What a stupid boomer You sound "fully vaccinated" The Grudge is the greatest horror movie ever
>>215142817No movie has ever hit closer to home than that one. The janitor is me 30 years from now.
jaws
Hereditary because it's a family drama with extreme horror elements rather than a pure horror movie. And those horror elements are somehow both fantastical and grounded. If such things were possible, that's how they would be done. Ari Aster will never come close to matching it.
try horror games, horror games are much more effective than horrror movies
>>215149150What would you recommend

>>215142724It’s the Grudge. The “American version” with Sarah Michelle Gellar, which is still set in Japan and by the same director, just with better production values. Even knowing exactly what’s going to happen, it still unsettles me.
>>215142817this
50 First Dates. It's as bad as Martyrs.
>>215145464Actual kino, and absolutely terrifying, how sistematicaly all hope is getting lost. It's coming soon.
>>215142817Genuine reddit take. Sure I don't wanna end up that way but that doesn't mean the movie is horrifying

Sinister (2012)
>>215142961It's one of my favourite movies but I don't know if it's scary enough to say that it's one of the scariest films of all time.>>215143199>Hereditary for me. I love Hereditary, it's my favourite horror movie.>>215142724The Omen, maybe? I would say they're genuinely scary all the way through.
>>215142724Cure
>>215150351>he knows
>>215148073inland empire is an absurd "film", even by Lynch's standards, and I remember basically nothing about it except that there was a moment in it that absolutely scared the shit out of me
>>215149236Why? Seems boring
>>215151538Laura dern wasn't that haggard
>>215142724Star Wars: The Force AwakensAs soon as John Boyega appeared on the screen…biggest jump scare of my life.
>>215151611Don't listen to the pseud. The king is starkers.
>>215142990>>215151538It was probably the hobo behind the diner.
>>215152161That was Mulholland Drive, Lynchlette.
>>215149236Heh I watched pacific rim on acid at theater and when I went to bathroom the booming outside literally was like giant monsters outside the building. Then we walked home like an hour in the hot sun from the theater just laughing like goofs
>>215150391It might be, were it not for the one scene of the ghost kids dancing around the house in slow motion. Truly a baffling misstep.
>>215150317Exactly. Absolute faggot this guy is.
>>215149236I feel like skinamarink is really close to being a masterpiece. If it was just like 10% closer to a regular, spooky movie, 10% less art house, 10% faster, it might be perfect. If you get engrossed, it can be quite scary, but you also might fall asleep before that happens.
>>215142724Dark Horse by Todd Solondz
>>215142724If you had an ounce of intelligence you would know the answer to this question is Children of Men.
>>215152790Nah. It's a decent film, but it's not scary.
>>215142724Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Whichever version. The idea that humanity is being slowly replaced and that eventually there will be no one like you left is terrifying. Imagine some disaster and you run to your neighbors only for them to turn on you. Imagine your own family members becoming your enemy. The most profoundly isolating hopelessness.

>>215152848
>>215152848>>215152915No. One half decent shot does not make it anywhere near the scariest film ever made.
>>215152814Welcome to modern Britain.

>>215142724Not a movie but Twin Peaks Season 3 was the most disturbing thing I ever saw
Black Christmas is the only thing that's made me hide behind my hands since I was a kid. It's not particularly scary but the ending is great
>>215142860>Rosemary's BabyIs one of the best movies ever made you filtered faggot.
>>215153288Terrible film, made by a pedophile.
>>215153362>made by a pedophile.Irrelevant. Why do you think its terrible? The technical aspects are extremely good and the story was great too.
>>215142724Zodiac, because it's based on a real world serial killer and not some gay CGI spooky faggotry shit
>>215153288the movie is very very boring, get over it
>>215153439Hes right it's a bad movie. I like a good movie. So I watched it and it was bad. In fact I haven't seen a single good Polanski movie, so it follows he was always propped up by his fellow Hollywood pedophiles
There are sacred cows that all the pseuds fall in line and blindly agree is good.Rosemary's Baby is one of those. Dogshit film. Some people are confident enough to think for themselves and speak up when they see this hivemind bullshit.
>>215142724My biopic.

>>215142724The Grifter
>>215148349Absolutely horrifying
>>215148475Audition was a good wank
>>215152814The original is the best, 70s one is pretty lame
>>215154097My brother is still in a mental institution after he came across this like 15 years ago on the dark web
Asia > Europe > USA when it comes to horror moviesAmerican produces a huge amount of horror movies but they're not much good at making them scary, they usually lacking in the tone and atmosphere.
>>215154391What would you say America does well?
>>215153439>technical aspects are extremely goodThe demon hand in the rape scene is laughably fake and poorly constructed even for back then
>>215154497Nah
>>215154196He should have downloaded Destruction of Daisy instead.
>>215153701>Rosemary's BabyI only saw that a couple of years back and was genuinely surprised at how great it was. I didnt think some 70s horror movie would hold up like that.
>>215153570I found it very engaging. Each to their own though, you probably like stuff like Terrifier, which i thought was retarded.
>>215154466Westerns and superheros and action flicks
>>215142961>Evil Dead 2>scaryIt's pure kino but scary isn't even on the radar
>>215154530I'm not fucking with any of that after what happened to my brother. The few times I've gotten to see him he just says the images are playing in his head over and over again... truly horrific...
Most scared I've ever been in a movie was probably Lake Mungo. At the time when I watched it I vaped, and was puffing on one of those disposable smokers. During the one single scary shot in the movie of her bloated corpse, the smoker was stood up on the coffee table in front of me, and at the exact moment of the jump scare it started sparking and billowing out smoke, causing it to fall on its side and roll over onto the floor where it continued to zap. The timing on it was insane, I picked it up and in one swift movement fastballed it into the wall where it afterwards sat quietly. I was left unnerved for the remainder of the film. The ending that showed the protagonist was trapped alone for eternity was just the icing on the cake. I think about it every so often.
>>215154729Be patient. They're American.
>>215142817wait until you get old
>>215149236Maaan I wish Skinamarink was better, had a good ending, but damn the “realistic child dialogue” wasn’t done well
>>215142724cannibal holocaust is the only movie that looks so scary to me that I won't watch it
>>215154831It's schlock and more a commentary on mondo documentaries
>>215154856I just have a fear of mob violence. like hundreds of people that want to hurt you and can't be reasoned with. don't even want to watch that shit.
>>215142978i think the dream orgy scene is surreal and scarythe>This isn't a dream! This is really happening!part feels so strangepolanksi definitely trying to 'reveal the method' with his movies>>215152814came to say thisthe movie itself isn't exactly that scary, but the ending with Sutherland pointing and doing the scary alien screamjust the idea of being out in public and every single person you see turns on you and is not what they seem>>215154530DD is real, Grifter is not

>>215154971It's definitely written from the boomer perspective that women are the be-all and end-all. Which we now know is not even close to true.
>>215142724REC (2007)the blair witch project and noroi are also up there. these three are also coincidentally the only good ff movies ever made
>>215142724Bilbo tweaking out in Rivendell because you aren't expecting that kind of shit in a non-horror film. That scene still makes me uncomfortable even though I know it's coming.
>>215155279i hate that zoomer slang makes me laugh so much, kek
>>215142817The movie was total garbage if you knew what it was ripping off. Book was much better at being unsettling. It really wasn't 2deep4u the way I think people tried to make it, and I hate to be the "um ackshually" guy, but go read the book for real. You'll be so much more unimpressed with the made-for-tv Netflix slop. >>215142930Know what you mean. I was watching The Hills Have Eyes as a mid-teenager and it wasn't especially scary, like I was almost laughing at parts because it was comically over the top, but we lost power at one point and the movie and all the lights just shut up and it was the scariest evening I can remember just due to odd circumstances
The only people more annoying than the "elevated A24 trauma horror" people are the "ackshually the scariest movie of all is this random documentary because it shows the world is heckin dark"Get fucked
>>215155209Was just about to say REC. The ending scene in the penthouse still scares the shit out of me to this day. It's also genuinely the only movie I can think of that gave me nightmares. It's cool that the actor that plays the demon is a gangly freak irl and is still acting in those kinds of roles. He was Dracula in that shitty Voyage of Demetyr movie and the offspring in Alien Romulus which was kino.
>>215155512i like RECagree with the end sceneagree with the marfan syndrome guy being a good spookbut the Romulus guy was some basketball player

Why can't we ever have a thread without someone saying something is either jewish, satanic or has gnostic themes
>>215148299brutal, his parents should be shot
>>215142724You can't have a defacto answer to this question. People find different things frightening. But really, I'm only replying to say that Messiah of Evil is a weird fucking movie, but I recognized that shot on sight from only having watched it the one time, so I guess it did something right.
>>215143434It's woke crap
>>215142961>midsomarMaybe if you fear dying of boredom
>>215146090That one doesn't scare me so much as put me in a thoroughly creeped out vibe. I've never been able to quite replicate that feeling.

>>215155209Unlike The Exorcist, The Grudge or Ringu, REC breaks out of that "subjectively scary" trap by having some really well-placed jump scares to keep your more plebby friends happy, so it's probably the best movie to screen around your more jaded associates.
>>215157308>lake mungo bro??????? just a fucking picture w a girl in the back that slowly zooms ini mean, they're movies, its all just pictures
>>215157356yeah man but i want pictures plural
