And also subjectively, what was the the scariest film you've ever personally experienced?
Hereditary was the only movie I watched as an adult that didn't let me sleep at night.The Cell is pure kino, definitely up there. That first 'adventure' in the killer's mind was fucking terrifying.
>MOVIES SCARE HIM....
>>221229267If only JLO and Vaughn wasn't in it, and it was directed by Fincher, this would be kino.
Movies don’t scare me, but I had a nightmare after watching Don’t Breathe where an old man dragged me under my bed and I still have to check under my bed 10 years later before I sleep
>>221229355>movies don't scare himI can't imagine being such an emotionless NPC. Must be a pathetic existence.
>>221229386The hype around Don't Breathe baffles me. I just found the whole thing silly.
>>221229394>movies (goyslop) scare or affect him in any wayI can't imagine being such an emotional NPC. Must be a pathetic existence.
>>221229412>all movies are slopWhy are you even posting here lmao
>>221229376The directing was flawless. Nobody could have done a better job.
>>221229394IF MOVIES SCARE YOU, *YOU* ARE THE «N P C»; YOU LET YOUR EMOTIONS OVERRIDE YOUR REASON, AND DIRECT YOUR BEHAVIOUR.MOVIES ARE ARTIFACTS; FICTIONS IN AUDIOVISUAL FORMAT THAT YOU VIEW ON A SCREEN; THERE IS NOTHING SCARY ABOUT THAT.
>>22122926712 Angry Men because a miscarriage of justice is the scariest thing imaginable
>>221229412>he only watches goyslophaha kwab
>>221229441>tradlarper>tripfag>typing in all caps>le epic based alpha posturing holy shit go back to twitter
>>221229458Based. That kid should have got life
>>221229267The original TCM has such an incredible suffocating atmosphere, it's the only horror film that felt genuinely uncomfortable to watch. And the first time I watched Ju-On was the first night I spent in an apartment by myself after I moved out of my parents house and it spooked me pretty good.
>>221229490>NO COUNTERARGUMENT.>INSTEAD OF NOT REPLYING, OR OF REFLECTING, AND CONCEDING, HE REPLIES WITH A NON SEQVITVR.TYPICAL OF SOMEONE WHO IS SCARED BY MOVIES.
>>221229376This is one of those movies where the bad acting kind of works out because both of their characters are two kind of plain muted detached professionals so somehow it makes it more believable, like you really are just watching a normie cop and a normie psychiatrist get lost in a serial killers head.
>>221229490>tradlarperhe's actually trad and has been around for decadesa genuine autist, but not a larper
>>221229530Even if the acting was unbearable it wouldn't matter honestly. The Cell is the most visually stunning film I've ever seen and it stands tall on that alone.
>>221229267Pretty sure the only movie I remember causing me actual nightmares was Spy Kids 3, I'm not even joking. The idea of getting permanently trapped inside of a videogame freaked me out.Besides that, I used to watch the first Harry potter movie every Friday, and my mum would have to turn it off right before Quirrel would take off his turban, because Voldemort's face freaked me out.But as the other guy said, there's legitimately something wrong with your brain if you find motion pictures scary. You ought to grow up.
>>221229556i really thought the director was gonna keep pumping out visually incredible films after this but it pretty much stopped after the fall. i think he depended a lot of that japanese costume designer a bit too much unfortunately.
I watched the original Jeeper's Creepers when i was 10~, that was the last time i was ever scared of a movie.Something about being scared shitless by a movie, then waking up the next day and laughing about it made every subsequent "scary" movie immediately, not scary.The Cell is 10/10 kino though, don't let J-Lo discourage anyone from watching it. She's actually used quite well for a non-actor.
>>221229440STFU you stupid pajeet.
Inland Empire.
The original Dark Water remains the last film i've watched that legit made the hairs on my neck and arms stand up and fucked me up for a little bit after it was over. That slow creeping dread that just keeps building and building, no shitty jumpscares, no over the top gore or cg shit, just pure spooky goodness
>>221229344Hereditary is too unintentionally funny
This shit had me terrified to take baths or look in the mirror after seeing it as a kid
>>221229777>tripsjapanese horror? hell yeah, brother. Koji Suzuki also wrote the ring series. loved the original tv movie, and tv series. there was also The Ring: Terror's Realm, dreamcast game. something about that urban legend vibe I can't get enough of.
>>221229834>>221229777Japs are on another level, man. I won't say most anime/manga aren't garbage but when they get it right, NOTHING comes close. That's true for all they make. I remember watching Ichi the Killer with a fever late at night and I cannot possibly describe what I felt. It was surreal beyond words.
>>221229677Mirror Mirror is very underrated. Lily Collins was so cute.
>>221229677The Fall is pure kino and Immortals is pretty good too. Shame about Chris Cunningham though...
>>221229267This is dreadcore on par with Hereditary and the only movie that fucked me up like a panic attack https://letterboxd.com/film/victoria-2015/This was rec'd here, top 5 scariest imho, under seen https://letterboxd.com/film/the-canal/
>>221229267While I enjoy horror movies, it's been a while since one genuinely scared me, which I attribute to desensitization.However, horror vidya can still creep me out since I'm in the shoes of the protagonist. I recently played the OG Silent Hill and that got to me a few times.In terms of movies, I guess Lee Cronin's the Mummy made me tense in the very beginning with the sarcophagus scene, but as it progressed, it wasn't about a mummy in the traditional sense and I thought it was a missed opportunity.
Apparently hereditary is scarier than blair witch project
>>221230740I'd say Blair Witch was scarier at the time of its release because of the found footage novelty. It came across as realistic. For modern standards, Hereditary is scarier.
>>221230772You only watched it once
>>221230772Toni Collette is like a clown in that movie idk how anyone could take it seriously
>>221230805her hysterics are part of what makes the performance unnerving
>>221230740The memorable parts of hereditary are the ones around the time the girl gets decapitated, the ensuing dread etc. The entire ending segment is scooby doo shit
Technically not a movie but a vr experience thing is the scariest media I've watched, not long after vr became accessible. The one where you're in a shark cage sinking down to the ocean floor. I had headphones on too so I was fully immersed. So fucked up, had to squeeze my eyes shut multiple times. I hate the deep ocean
>>221231002>The entire ending segment is scooby doo shitYeah it felt that the movie just painted itself into a corner, showed some crazy shit and roll credits. Really mid film.
>>221229267The Cell, nah. It was mostly an indian guy shooting eye candy and then trying to outdo himself in disturbing shit as much as possible. It's like a classier Human Centipede. Scary? Nope.
It wasn't the big jump scareI'm not particularly concerned about ayy lmaosThis was really the only horror movie I've ever seen that made me care, and that was scaryI cared about the tired, faithless old widower, I cared about his autistic loser brother, I even cared about his retard fucking kidsI was completely invested in seeing them not be harmed, and the movie kept threatening them with terrible harmIt's so simple, that it's odd how rare it is in horror. Most horror movies at some level encourage you to hate its characters, to delight in their destruction. It's uncomfortable not to.
>>221231306>Most horror movies at some level encourage you to hate its charactersOnly shit tier campy shlock does this. Truly great horror films have characters you like and care for and seeing them suffer is painful.
>>221229267Too subjective.Depends on the execution and on what actually scares you the most
Nothing scares me, I was chosen by the God of War to be a vessel for his carnage on this Earth. The death scene in Bone Tomahawk fucked me up a bit though, not even in a scary way just in a memorably jarring way.
>>221231306nothing can stop us from being scared of this film SO BE SCARED BY IT
>>221229267>What is objectively the scariest film of all time?
>>221232205Great post. Jacob's Ladder is unbelievably scary and disturbing.
>>221229267Probably your own proctology exam but who am I to judge
>>221233129Youre a fag who jacks off to men's assholes. You are a gross subhuman weirdo.
>>221229267The only movies that truly scared me are>Animatrix: The Second Renaissance >I, RobotI, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
>>221229521why are you actually larping as a tripfag though?
>>221232205Jacob's Ladder is a very fun adventure, but not scary at all. What the hell.
>>221229521>TYPICAL OF SOMEONE WHO IS SCARED BY MOVIES.Zozzle.That's actually a pretty funny comeback to yell at someone during almost any argument.You alright, tripnig
>>221230740Only thing scary about that movie is how two white people had a jeet kid or whatever that guy was. Took me right out of it.
>>221229267In my opinion, the ending of Black Christmas (1974) remains the scariest scene in any film. Always creeps me out
>>221229490no tripcode thoughbeit
The Alien Report scared me. Or rather it made me remember the fear of gray aliens I had as a kid.
Real shit will always be scarier than some ooga booga jumpscares or whatever supernatural/sci fi horrors people can imagine
>>221229344Love taking sleeping pills and watching scary movies.It's something about the combination of not caring if I die and the anesthetic effect of sleeping pills just puts me right in the sweet spot where you can be scared, while simultaneously not care that you're scared.
>>221229441>YOU LET YOUR HUMANITY OVERRIDE YOUR PROGRAMMINGYeah, I'm getting big NPC vibes from you.
>>221229777Has my vote too and checkedI think what's unique about this one is that the antagonist force comes from sadness, abandonment and despair. Or maybe that's not too unique, but it's not like Ringu where the ghost girl is Pure Ebil. Story and environment were all on point. Very lean. Just a beautiful, spooky and melancholic movie through and through.
lmao imagine looking at the screen and getting scared of it
>>221232205People talk about this as such an alt, artsy, sophisticated but cool movie, and it is, but then you actually watch it and run into the crazy unnecessary "Vietnam murder drug" stuff. It even ends with a little blurb about vietnam war murder drugs like its a serious real issue the director is really trying to do activism for and that's basically why he made the movie. People like mentally edit this out of their conception of the movie. "Its about mortality and alienation and the struggle to make sense of your life in the face of death" Its also about Vietnam murder drugs.
>>221229651>my mommy had to turn it off so i didnt go into a shrieking autistic episode>grow up kiddowhy am i replying to this obvious bait
>>221234791The Exorcist really freaks me out, just looking at her face and the spider crawl down the stairs and that eiery house setting. That movie is cursed man
this one gave me pause. after it was over i just kind of just sat therein the dark silence for a while. not necessarily deep in thought, but something about it deginitely triggered my sympathetic nervous system to temporarily go into freeze mode
>>221229267Nightmare on helm street, the thing, forbidden planet, Reanimator.I was a kid for two of them.
>>221234996Oh, and I forgot: Twin peaks, the movie. I was high.
i thought this was pretty scary just because of the random nature of it
>>221235031Reasons I watch horror films:>atmospheric buildup is sometimes good though the director usually lacks restraint and keeps it going until it becomes boring/extremely annoying especially when "looking around the house">often better at portraying interesting survival situations and predicaments than action or adventure movies>sometimes there is female nudity, more often than in other movies because "well it's shocking after all this the art or whatever" - the main other venue for female nudity is shitty feminist dramas>occasionally there is a scene of a woman wetting herself under the guise of showing how scary it is and definitely not as fanservice
>>221229267>objectively>the scariest
>>221234922Yeah, when I was 5. Then I grew up. Are you too mentally deficient to comprehend that?
>/tv/ in 2015>scariest movie is a german arthouse film watched by less than 500 people in which men rape newborn baby corpses and force their teenage mothers to eat their shit>/tv/ in 2026>scariest movie is A24 slop
Synedoche, New York
>>221229267There's no such thing as 'objectively scariest movie', what you find scary another person may not. Horror, like comedy, is a very subjective genre. That being said, one of the most intense movies I ever watched has to be Haute Tension.
>>221235997an improvement
>>221235299>>221236118everyone knows this, god you midwits are so fucking dull and boring
>>221236259OP clearly doesn't, you dimwit.
>>221236289That is OP. Who else would get that defensive over OPs post. Lel
>>221236330It was a different time. America was still 90%+ White and the jews were still working in the shadows, not out in the open as they do today
>>221233768This I remember, as an adult, had me scared like a little kid, and I'm not one to get scared by movies anymore really
>>221235997A24 is incredibly terrible but not as bad as EVERY FUCKING THREAD being coopted by thinly veiled pedosadists
>>221235997honestly, that's more a comment on the times. the first thing is something you just year about on the news now
>>221229267Pleasantville.
The Descent had its moments. Rec. Jap Pulse was eerie.
>>221236289>>221236328the fact that you even entertain this thought shows you are terminally midwitted
>>221236525The Descent was ok but the scariest part was getting stuck in the cave not the monsters. Also Jap pulse isn't scary at all even remotely. The American remake is much scarier
Dark Skies. Fourth Kind is a close second but Dark Skies is scarier
>>221229267The objectively best time to watch horror films is under the age of 14. It's the only time they are scary. Your mind can still make what you're seeing affect your reality. You can still have nightmares about it. You still have strong emotions that drive you to hide behind the furniture afraid of the television. Being scared of any movie as an adult is pretty pathetic.
Why nobody is talking about The Road ? The ending is trash but the rest looks way to real, always bleak, always dark, no hopes nothing , just pure desolation and desperation
>>221234994I just watched this because you recommended it, and right now I feel a mix of emptiness, contemplation and confusion
>>221236355>America>90% white in 2002
>>221229538A true traditionalist would not have internet access or be a homosexual, like xir is.
>>221238081>went from 75% in 2000 to 61% in 2026
>>221229267The Vanishing / Spoorloos (1988)Absolute dread from start to finishjust like that you dissapear from reality and become just memories
>>221229267I think unironically the movie that spooked me the most was Signs. It’s not outright scary but the jump scares were done well, and the sense of unknown dread was great. I mean it also helped I saw it when I was 11.
>>221233826For me, it's taking 300 MG of Benadryl and watching horror movies and playing those horror anomaly finding games.
>>221229267Amour by Haneke
>>221229782ok, edgelord
>>221229394nta. im far from emotionless but movies arent real. they cant hurt you. why be afraid?
>>221231306such a stupid fucking movie
>>221231306his brother was autistic? cause he kept swinging the bat the same way each time or what?
>>221239197one of the best horror in the last 50 years
>>221239109Oh yeahFuck that movie"You are home early, I wish I could've killed myself faster"Fuck that fucker Haneke, that movie is too real
>>221229267For me, it’s the Grudge. I remember being absolutely terrified the first time I watched. And even now, even knowing everything that happens, I still get a bit spooked watching it. If you made the Kayako noise while I was in the basement or something, I might actually panic.
>>221229267Peak kino
>>221233805For me, the opposite is true. What’s the worst thing that can happen in real life? Pain and suffering? Sure, it sucks, but it’s temporary. Even if someone was committed to making you suffer as much as possible, they still can’t make you live forever. Death? It’s scary, but you were always going to die. It’s inevitable. Only in the realms of fantasy can you find fates worse than death, and that’s what scares me.
>>221229267I remember this movie being a massively overhyped disappointment.>>221229344Hereditary is my favourite pure horror movie. It didn't keep me awake but it's just so well made and improves on a second viewing when you actually know what's going on.
>>221229267ITT:>I think Toy Story 3 was the scariest movie of all time because the bear was actually evil all along!What a bunch of absolute faggots.
>>221229267Hay Hoe ruined that movie otherwise it’s pretty good
>>221235031That shit was stupid
>>221240244yeah. the mid part of the movie is a bit entertaining but the beginning and end pretty much suck
>>221229267Ghost ship directed by William Malone.House on Haunted Hill directed also by William Malone.Rose Red.
>>221229267Threads!!!FACT!!!
