What are the scariest fucking movies you’ve ever seen? I don’t mean the best horror movies. I don’t want a list of critically acclaimed slowburn atmospheric art pieces. I’m talking absolute thrill rides. Movies that do not relent. Movies that make you jump and scream and keep you up at night in terror. The quality and substance of the actual filmmaking are completely inconsequential to what I’m looking for. Everytime I go looking for something truly terrifying I can’t find one now. I feel like I’ve seen them all, so the more obscure the better. Also very welcome to foreign films, particularly East Asian cinema as they do horror very well.
Only scary part in Sinister is the scene with the footage of family murders. Rest is typical corny bullshit, jumpscare - children with eyeliner - jumpscare - Slipknot member - jumpscare.
Final Destination
>>222504751The last segment of Creepshow has me scared of roaches to this day.
>>222504751Did you watch Triangle (2009)? It's great
>>222504788Plenty of good spoops I thought >>222504790It’s alright, not really keeping me up at night>>222504794Forget that segment. Definitely due a rewatch>>222504802Yeah I’ve seen it, really enjoyed it
>>222504842[Rec]Noroi: The Curse but that's more in the slow burn category
>>222504932[Rec] is fantastic. Haven’t seen Noroi, will add it to my watchlist. Thanks for the recommendation man
Forrest Gump
>>222504751this is the exact opposite of what you asked for, it being both slowburn and atmospheric. i mention it because it's the only film ive ever quit watching because of how it made me feel.it's 'antichrist'.watching it is like bathing in a rapists piss. you feel dirty. it's hard to explain. i quit after 45 mins. another 10 minutes and i'd have been necking myself.
>>222504751Jeepers Creepers. Has quite possibly the best horror movie monster ever created. Imo.
>>222505097Great great movie but yeah not exactly what I’m looking for. Good shout tho>>222505101Great monster movie. Also made by a gay pedo rapist , which I suppose only adds to the horror
>>222504751What exactly do you find scary and terrifying? For me, Hereditary was terrifying and I couldn't sleep for a week, but I did not find Sinister that scary.
>>222505167>a gay pedo rapist , which I suppose only adds to the horrorYeah. I don't give a shit what people do off camera. He made something unique and I'm just glad we got to see it.
>>222505314I still have no idea why /tv/ shits on Hereditary. Well I do, the idea is just shallow contrarianism, but the arguments that are used to hide shallow contrarianism are ridiculously poor.>bonechilling slowburn Movie isn't even slow, it's moderately paced.>le traumaI get being annoyed when a movie goes "none of this was real it was just a metaphor" but the supernatural shit in Hereditary was in fact real. People are just complaining about what, the movie having characters? How terrible!
>>222504751That goofy mask wouldn't look out of place in the 90s Goosebumps series.
>>222504751i enjoyed both 'talk to me' and 'bring her back'.
>>222505314Some films that jump to mind as particularly frightening to me are Banshee Chapter, Hell House LLC, Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, The Taking of Deborah Logan, Grave Encounters. Just adrenaline rushing jump scares with a constant sense of dread for what happens next.
>>222504751The only movie that ever gave me nightmares is The Stuff.
>>222505531Have not seen bring her back, will definitely check her out because Talk to me scared the shit out of me when I watched it
>>222504751Definitely not that horseshit you posted
>>222505647Fair enough. Feel like contributing something?
>>222505487Making up arguments in your head and rebutting them, especially on behalf of some gay movie, is a form of schizophrenia I believe
>>222505702Pee wee herman
>>222504751if you're an adult male you should only be getting nightmares and sweats over films like Marriage Story or other divorce rape mid life crisis shit
>>222505858Interesting perspective. I’m likely never getting married so I’ll just have to be afraid of the dark instead
>>222505934may i recommend The Hunt, starring Maddsnow you can be afraid of being ousted as the friend group's pedophile.
>>222505556enjoy. definitely watch it!!!!!!
>>222505949I’m looking for more traditional horror but I’m adding this to my watchlist. Looks good
>>222505728If you are bot being disingenuous look up "Hereditary bonechilling slowburn" on the archive.
>>222504751You posted the one that came so close but fumbled the second half, probably because of some exec bullshit. Have to have a clear villain with a jumpscare sequel bait and all that ... I would love to find a movie to actually terrify me for once but after a certain age I dont think its going to happen again. The context always has to relate to reactions of those around you to hit and thats hard - not really 'scary' as such but the baby disappearing in a game of peekaboo in The Witch is one of the scenes that stuck with me for a while. Imagine trying to explain THAT SHIT to the parents.
>>222506156I’d rather not, who even gives a shit
>>222504788>It's only scary when the scary things happen
horror is a foid genre
I think environment is more important than content of the movie. Through my 20s I used to live in an apartment building that had a 70 year history of people dying in it and there was three people on my floor. So ghost movies used to scare me but that was due to the isolation. Plus the building had no hallway windows and was lit with ancient phosphorus bulbs so it had (what the kids are calling) Liminality. As a child I lived next door to a cemetery. So zombie movies used to fuck me up bad. I was 8 when the '90 remake of Night of the Living Dead released on VHS and my mom put it on for me at bedtime. I didn't sleep for days.
>>222504751
>>222506873Only since 2010s
>>222507043>so bad it's good>Return of the Living DeadLiterally nothing bad about that movie. Who's the faggot who made this?
>>222504751>Women's Flesh: My Red Guts>Death File: Red 1994
>>222504751Scariest movie when I was a kid - the ringIn my 20s was life it's a sci Fi horror movieIn my 30s probably Rosemary's baby
>>222504751Are you a little girl? There's no such thing as a fucking "scary movies."
>>222507043The exorcist is the only good horror movie here
>>222507132>ring>the cursegod I miss being young and getting the absolute SHIT scared out of me. It started with gremlins when I was a truly wee lad. Couldnt bring out the trash in the dark for months lmao
>>222507073 >>222507073 >my follow from i think shock movies kinda drill home the ptsd u get from after watching some of these that no horror film can come close to.
>>222504932>>222504966Noroi fucking unraveled in the end with that dog awful CGI it had. It was going fine until that PS3 era shit appeared on screen.
>>222507185If I get just the right amount of high that capacity for terror I had as a child returns. If I smoke too much though I get overly critical and can't watch any movie without ruining it for myself.
>>222504751Try Terrified
>>222507043KEK fuck A24
seeing pic related at an impressionable age was also on the worst ones. Rest of the movie didnt do much for me, but this scene got me good. Think the sound design played a big role, somehow makes it way worse.
>>222506851Children with eyeliner and a Slipknot members are not scary. Jumpscares stop being startling after three times. You just start sitting there with a pokerface every time one happens. Unless you're a literal baby who thinks their mommy disappears every time she covers her face with hands.
>>222507363Yeah seen that one, didn’t think it was crazy scary. Few good jumps
>>222507402No shit retard. Non scary things happen throughout horror movies
Some of the scares and fear reminded me of things I was terrified as a child and as such hit me pretty strongly.
>>222508004I started the watching Conjuring / Annabelle / Nun movies in chronological order ... I can confidently say theyre all utter trash except the first two.Seriously, tell me you watched The Nun 2 without cringe, I fucking dare you. Theyre not even trying to be scary anymore
Have you seen The Exorcism of Emily Rose? I put off watching it forever because possession movies are usually slop but not only is it a good flick it's pretty scary I would say
>>222506873Exactly. Now what are the scariest movies you've seen, sissy?
>>222508054I did not see the Nun 2 because I thought the first was trash.I only liked the first two Conjurings and enjoyed the Annabelle movies enough to keep the series going, although the one focusing on the children of the MCs from Conjuring sucked because I knew after half way that no one was going to die or get hurt.But after Annabelle Creation I dropped the universe.
>>222508127Creation was the point I dropped it out of frustration. Didnt even watch it to the end, like fuck outta here with our orphanage no scare bullshit. Perfect example of soulless corporate slop.Which is sad, it had potential.
>>222505487Hereditary was kind of peak "the horror is the trauma." We already had Babadook has the quintessential "trauma as the horror" etc but Hereditary was where A24 really became A24 so it blew up in more ways than one and this type of horror started becoming very reddit. That's why /tv/ shits on it despite it being good. Also the fact that Aster made the same movie again except in Sweden.
>>222507073what's the one where a female journalist receives a suspected snuff film and investigates? it's in like a found footage/mockumentary format, if i recall.

>>222508612Censor?

Showgirls. Absolutely horrifying.
>>222509223oh shit wrong thread ...
>>222508612The Punishment Tapes?
>>222506873>HORROR IS A FOID GENRE!
I always found inscrutable cults unsettling.Faggot shit like Mormons and Scientology I can get my head around but the one in pic related? Nah man these guys are way out there.
>>222508978>>222509306no, i remember now. it's Muzan-E (1999), aka Celluloid Nightmares.
>>222504751Child's PlayCandymanPet SemataryThe Texas Chainsaw MassacreThe Town that Dreaded Sundown The Video Dead The 80's early 90's stuff just had a dark atmosphere about them
>>222504788Exactly. I'd be hard-pressed to find another movie that turns into such pants in the second half. They should really remake it someday and try to fix, because that first act had some truly harrowing creepy stuff. It helps that the music is nighmare fuel too
>>222505101That shot of him throwing the body down the hole as they're driving by traumatised me as a kid. The downer ending fucked me up too
If youre looking to be scared like that, odds are you've already grown desensitized to it. Found Barbarian pretty good. No one will save you is another one with a good second half
>>222509782nice find
Any scary movies with zero gore?
>>222510191Communion
>>222510191surrealism films try >Vivarium
>>222504751>What are the scariest fucking movies you’ve ever seen?The video of your conception.
>>222510042Those shots, plus his "house of pain" for me. The two teen lovers sewn together. What a horrific fucking movie.The monster surviving and getting his kill at the end makes it so much scarier.
>>222507043Heading off the calls of bait... wise, because that's what this is.
Genuine question.You guys don't actually get scared from movies, right?99% of the time i watch a movie, since maybe 2003 onwards, it's been in my room alone, before bed, in complete darkness with headphones on. I cannot recall actually ever being scared. Startled sure, but not scared.
Hereditary and it's not even close. Only movie that I couldn't sleep from as an adult. Ari Aster is the definition of a one hit wonder though. His other movies suck.
>>222511608wow what a chad.anyways
>>222507071It's enjoyable, but a cremation oven is so hot that the zombie dust wouldn't have spread.
>>222504842>Plenty of good spoopsjumpscares are cringe and gay, lowest hanging fruit of the spooky
>>222511608It has to be when your mind is malleable. Watching something like Jaws as a child or teenager might make you think twice about beach trips. The Edge might make planes frightening. You have to be receptive to the material (and the same thing might not work on different people) and get that unsettling seed of fear put in your brain.It rarely manifests in full on shrieking, but phobias can be born from convincing fiction.
>>222507043>it comes at night that movie fucking STUNK what a boring pile of trash
I love A24! Check out my letterboxd reviews!I'm a tranny!
>>222504751The Blob (1988) - absolutely scarred me psychologically. To this day, i can't step on a floor drain with having a panic attack.
>>222505167>Also made by a gay pedo rapistThe first two were, unfortunately. The second one is one of my favorite horror stories.
>>222504751Not scary per se but this movie made me feel sick and disoriented. "Fever dream" is an overused descriptor these days but it fits this movie to a tee.Note this is not the Peter Jackson film
>>222510191The Haunting (1963)
>>222512122>not the good Braindead
>>222504751Tusks one of the worst movies ever made and it was supposed to be a parody of 50s b movies but it’s more sad and mean because of the producers changing everything, and it is pretty creepy with the way it looks and something similar to this actually happening
>>222511992This, the kills in that film are nightmarish. I watched it for the first time a few years ago and even as a jaded horror fan I was a bit spooked.
>>222504751This still has one of the creepiest forboding unsettling feels in any movie and feels like bad stuff is coming, and the look of it is creepy too
>>222512228I was disappointed by Frighteners so I never got around to watching it :/
>>222512333I loved Frighteners. I'm a Busey fan, though.>>222512294Watch it the proper way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgf3tyQy5lU
>>222509259You. Will. CUM!
>>222504751Late to the thread, but Threads terrified the fuck out me when I first watched it, and certain scenes still makes me sick to my stomach. Anyone who causally wants to use nukes on a populace is demonic.
>>222511897TA, phobias actually a much better way to look at it, the question "Have you ever developed a phobia from watching horror movies" is infinitely more interesting than "Have you been startled".
>>222504751These ones freaked me out:V/H/S 2's Safe HavenThe WitchInvasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)Pet Semetary (1989)The Thing (1982)Noroi: The CurseThese movies I really like and think are underrated or overlooked:The Changeling (1980) (one of my favorite movies of all time)PumpkinheadThe Baby's Room (its a Spanish movie)Shutter (2004) (its a Thai movie, not to be confused with the 2008 American remake)Splinter
>>222511816It wasn't zombie dust. It was chemical smoke from burning them getting in the atmosphere.
>>222504751The mother fucker who thought adding this into a kid's comedy movie
I have never seen a movie I thought was legitimately "scary". I guess the closest was Hereditary but it wasnt even close to scary, just uncomfortable. Even that was blown by the hamfisted ending.
>>222513466Some people are better at handling scary movies and/or maybe better at disassociating fear from movies. It could also be you haven't seen a movie that scares you. Maybe its a very specific thing that scares you. For example, it creeps me out when someone peaks around a corner. That alien peaking around the corner in the movie Communion never fails to scare me. I can't explain why.
>>222504751You're a grown man trying to get scared on a cantonese origami board
I often think about this question and every answer I come to is Hereditary. It is legitimately one of the scariest and most effective horror movies I have ever seen. It is such a well made film.
saw the original when I was 12, had to sleep with the bedsheets over my had that night
>>222507043What an atmospheric, bone-chilling meme. I love psychological memes like this that don't rely on gimmicks such as Bane, into the trash it goes, etc. this meme haunted me for days, a genuinely disturbing, skin crawling, genre defining meme.
>>222504751The Evil Within (2017)Frontier(s)The VigilDead EndGonjiam Haunted AsylumGhosts of War They all had moments that genuinely creeped me the fuck out. Hope that helps.
