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?

I liked Noroi: The Curse.

No jumpscares, but really quite unsettling

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.

Annihilation is great cosmic horror.

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.

“Host” fucked me up and is the reason I don’t watch horror movies anymore. I’m a huge baby though.

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.

Soft & quiet.

Humans are a terrible thing

I’m noticing a distinct lack of Terrifier and Terrifier 2 in these comments. Art the Clown is perhaps the best antagonist I’ve ever seen in the horror genre and true originality is rare in the modern horror filmscape.

The Ring is also good for originality as far as modern classics, though it’s a whole book series in Japan.

Edit: I also liked The Shrine, forgot to mention that one. Again, originality.
