What are the scariest horror movies?

I love horror but apparently I don’t vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I’d seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn’t find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn’t the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn’t like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

What I’ve learned from this thread as someone getting into horror again is that I really need to watch Hereditary and the original Candyman. Might just bookmark this for all the great recommendations. Only hard part is that my partner isn’t into horror so it’s hard to watch them.

Perfect Blue

I absolutely love and hate how they mess with your perception of not only time but what’s real because I could see myself in situations where I couldn’t tell you how long has passed and/or having to question if what I’m seeing is real or not.

Thanks for reminding me about this movie. Been meaning to watch this for a while.

Rec (2007) and Climax (2018) are some of my personal favourites that have scared me to some degree

The original Rec and Rec 2 are great, the third movie was terrible and the Hollywood remake of the first Rec is a disaster.

Annihilation is great cosmic horror.

I don’t get scared easily, but Kothanodi had me watching through my fingers. It has four vaguely connected stories, and two of them are very fucked up. There’s a decent amount of infanticide and other atrocities inflicted on minors, so be warned if you have any childhood trauma.

Also by the same director, the movie Aamis is about cannibalism acting as a replacement for sex. It’s pretty fucked up as well.

I liked Noroi: The Curse.

No jumpscares, but really quite unsettling

Not a horror film per se, but definitely leaning that way:

The original ‘ALIEN’.

The building of tension throughout the entire movie is brilliant.

Not sure how great it holds up today since it was a while ago I watched it last, but The Thing is for me still one of the best ones.
