Just get the movie and watch, the less you know the better experience you will get :)

Most 'scary' films aren't scary, they just use cheap tropes to startle you or make you cringe.
Cabin In The Woods is definitely a horror movie, even if it avoids dumb 'screamers'.

I'm seriously confused about all the comments, that movie was cancer.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't consider this a SCARY movie, per se, but it is still just about required viewing for the horror film aficionado.

Event Horizon. Sadly the last part of it is not very good, but the earlier parts are very atmospheric.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've seen that, not bad at all (and I like Sam Niel's acting, he was brilliant in At the Mouth of Madness).

Was going to suggest this, great movie even if the ending is slightly weaker than the first half.

Horror isn't my usual genre but I was going to suggest this as well.

Bump! Hm... I like the first Resident Evil movie xD. Sorry, not a fan of horror movies!

If you want to get scared - Sinister.
If you want a good story - Shining, 28 days later.

I really like Stephan Kings The Mist, it's got a great ending.. very messed up.
I'm a fan of cheesy horror like Slither, and Cabin in the Woods.
Also classic horror like Night of the Living Dead, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Of course, great sci-fi horror, best I've seen so far in that niche.

Either Texas Chainsaw 3D, Army Of Darkness, Dawn Of The Dead (either remake or original), or Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare

I've seen the original Evil Dead trilogy, hah that was brilliant! Not a big fan of Nightmare on Elm Street, but who knows, maybe I'll like the new ones.

Can't enter giveaway cause blacklisted. Boo :P
As for movies, I'm not a huge fan of horror. I can enjoy a scary game or a book, but in the films it doesn't quite work for me for some reason. I do recommend Cabin In The Woods though, cause Joss Whedon is a boss.

that's not a genre I watch, so I can't recommend you a film.
but thank you for the GA :-)

It Follows - Not really about jumpscares or gore, but continous dread. A really well made movie.
Comment has been collapsed.
I clicked just so I could suggest this! I like that it does NOT have jump scares, I am still on the fence about it because we didn't get any explanation about "it" though. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Do we really need an explanation? I think one of the most common mistakes of today's filmmaking is explaining EVERYTHING to the viewer. The director himself said that he intended the film to be similar to a "dream", meaning there aren't necessary "rules" or explanations to what, when and how happens. Only the core idea is constant.
Only suggesting things and leaving the rest up to the imagination of the viewer is one of the most powerful tools in horror.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, it was a supernatural STD essentially, I just wonder where the chain started, ho wit came to be, what would happen if it did reach the "beginning" again.. and why nobody thought of giving it to a very active prostitute.
Comment has been collapsed.
SPOILERS
Well Paul did do that actually in the end, which was suggested when he cruised with the car in an area full of prostitutes. But that didn't help either as It caught up to him eventually as shown in the last shot of the movie.
Comment has been collapsed.
I remember that scene but he was not shown explicitly going with one, I was under the impression that he got cold feet/thought it over and didn't go through/etc (because he didn't want it to spread any more perhaps? he was a "nice" character).
Comment has been collapsed.
Again not showing explicitly is a tool of suggestion, which works well with a horror movie :) I think he went for it as he was more in love with the girl and wanted to save her too.
Comment has been collapsed.
But you see, without explicit showing, both our theories about it are right. :p It is kind of like Schrodinger's cat, both of them exist at the same time, we could only discover which one was true if the director showed us - but that never happened.
Comment has been collapsed.
That is a good thing, because it makes us theorize about it and discuss it.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have to come back here to post +1 to this.
I watched It Follows because of this recommendation (especially the "continuous dread" part) and the movie most certainly did not fail to deliver. One of the best horror movies I've seen.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm really glad you liked it :) I'm a huge fan of horror movies, especially this type which puts mood before shock value. I'm always looking for such hidden gems. Another one which is pure mood is Pontypool. Again the core idea might seem silly and it plays out in a single location and leaves a LOT up to the imagination. It's kind of a you hate it or love it movie though. Give it a go, you might like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Already saw it, but didn't find it very enjoyable unfortunately.
I'm going to check The Babadook next.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yea I can understand, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Babadook is great too. I'll try and think of some similar movies.
Comment has been collapsed.
I watched As Above, So Below recently and even though critics received it poorly, I think it was pretty good for a horror movie. If anyone is interested, check it out.
Comment has been collapsed.
That reminds me of an indie movie called The Tunnel. I think it was crowdfunded and released for free. It was surprisingly solid even with the smaller budget they had.

+1 You beat me to it. Best I've seen in a long time. Oh and this for those that have seen it. Chills every time.

Came to this thread, pressed Ctrl+F, searched for "it follows", was not disappointed. :)

uhm.. wow.. I can't think of any good horror movie right now.. maybe resident evil. (as said above) I meant Silent Hill... :-S
Comment has been collapsed.
Resident Evil isn't really a horror. It focuses on a badass protagonist that just happens to kill scary "monsters" and so. Just like Blade, and lots of other movies. They're more action than horror.
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, did I really write resident evil.. I meant actually silent hill. was it really that late... :s
you are right.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks, I've watched Silent Hill a couple years ago. I found it disturbing and very true to the game's atmosphere. Nice one.

Just go to any giveaway and look at the web address. Might give you an idea.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know what type of fear like.
Normal horror: Ghost Ship (2002), Silent Hill, Hellraiser, Night of the Living Dead.
Something that I think is a horror: Ghosts of Mars, I Spit on Your Grave, Braindead.
Something very unusual, if you like movies where a human is sadistic beast: Salo by Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Entry for the "Something that I think is a horror" : Idiocracy
Why people think this is a comedy I'll never know :3c
Comment has been collapsed.
LOL Idiocracy is everything but definitely not a horror. Can be sci fi, comedy or even parody of horror. There is even quite amusing when you're drunk or you belong to the Lower Forms of Intelligence 3:)
Comment has been collapsed.
Are you kidding? The premise behind Idiocracy is absolutely terrifying, and worse still BECAUSE IT CAN REALLY ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
brb, hiding under my bed.
Comment has been collapsed.
It isn't nearly as terrifying vision as you think, especially since it is unlikely to affect Europe in the near future. Part of the reviews of this film even said that it shows the vision of the current condition of USA, and especially Detroit. ;)
This is still not a horror movie, but something bordering on a post apocalyptic movies.

Re-cycle is very nice. It's like a horror adventure. It's not scary, just eerily creepy. Ending is very WTF.
I can recommend Del Toros's "Mama" with the king slayer Nokilaj Coster Waldau. Very creepy, but the ending is a little meh. Mama is based on a short proof of concept movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRqS6pBC42w The feature film is in english

I'm not too big into horror movies but I can tell you a few movies that scared me when I was forced to watch them lol ~
The Ring movies
Rose Red
The Fourth KInd ( Don't know if that counts as horror, but it scared the crap out of me ><
The Grudge ( I swear this movie gets scarier the more times you see it
Comment has been collapsed.
Scary movies generally don't do anything for me, so I've given up on them, but I'll be peeking at this thread to see if anything interesting pops up. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
First [Rec], then second one, third part is weakest, but I still kinda enjoeyd it and then finally fourth part.
I'm talking about spanish movie, not that sad american remake.
Also, if you like found footage and scifi - 'Apollo 18' and 'Area 51' Maybe the second one isn't actually a horror, but it's very enjoyable to watch.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, and as a fan of Carpenter you probably have seen this but go for 'In the Mouth of Madness' great movie, main charatec is somehow based on Stephen King, which leads us to movie adaptations of his books - most of them are at least good.
And, you see, I don't really get scared on horror movies (you know, I just can't; I apreciate and love atmosphere and all but most of horrors just doesnt work for me) but I can really recomnd mentionem movies.
And, if you like found footage I can post few more good titles.
Comment has been collapsed.
You've probably seen this one.
"Let the Right One In"
Also been recommended "As Above, So Below" recently. Not seen it yet but will do soon.
Comment has been collapsed.
+1
"let the right one in" much better than the Remake "Let me in"
Comment has been collapsed.
Nice suggestion, I will definitely look for "Let the Right One In". I have not seen the remake, as I am not a fan of remakes when the original is already good.
I have seen "As Above, So Below" a couple months ago; not bad for a "found footage" style of film (which I am usually not very fond of).
Comment has been collapsed.
Watched "As Above, So Below" 2 days ago and even though its beginning is boring and overall it's low budget movie, the longer I've been watching it the better it was.
Comment has been collapsed.
As per title, I am looking for a horror film to watch, not necessarily recent, but scary.
Gore is ok, but I'm not a fan of jump scares - those get boring quickly. I am more into unsettling plots and dark or unusual settings.
To give you an idea of what I like, I am a big fan of John Carpenter (The Thing, Price of Darkness, The Fog, Christine...).
So let's see, what are your favourite horror flicks?
And now, for the unrelated GA: 1DyS0 [Level 1+] (ended)
New GA: /PFSnM/
UPDATE: I've watched "Don't Blink" because it was easy to find and cheap (a few pence, second hand of course). 9 for the idea, 5 for the final result. Too many plot holes, I guess that's where people disappeared. :D
UPDATE 2: I have now watched "Jacob's Ladder", wow that was a trip. Very weird film, I think "Hellraiser: Inferno" might have been inspired by it a little, but Jacob's Ladder was deeper, more mysterious and all round much better.
UPDATE 3: Watched "Emergo" (Apartment 143) and May, because I could get them for a few pence :D The first started ok but went downhill quickly, the second is very weird but a bit boring (very well acted, though).
