Scariest modern horror film?

[Tom4784]

Obviously this doesn't include the classics so don't go naming The Exorcist or Alien or whatever.

I'm gonna say The Babadook, it really got under my skin. It succeeds in building a sense of dread that so many newer horror films forgo in favour of jump scares and it's honestly so ****ing creepy.

[Lostie!]

The Strangers or Sinister for me.

The Babadook was utter crap imo

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i found hostel really scary :worry:

[Babayaro.]

The Conjuring. I seen it at the cinema at like 10 at night, and it was terrifying. I think the hype made it scarier than what it actually was

I literally just got back from seeing that :laugh: It was good, loved seeing Maggie from TWD in it :love: I preferred the first half of the movie

[Amy Jade]

I found Haute Tension pretty creepy too, especially the first 40 minutes or so

[Firewire]

Is forror a genre of its own?

[Amy Jade]

I really liked it, it was better than I expected but I do agree the first half is the better half, really creepy.

Have you seen The Other Side Of The Door?

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Is forror a genre of its own?

it's short for french horror i think (martyrs, inside etc) :)

[Firewire]

ohhhh ty

[Amy Jade]

French horror does tend to be ultra gory

[Babayaro.]

Oh The Descent is a worth a mention too actually

[Jason.]

I found Haute Tension pretty creepy too, especially the first 40 minutes or so

Is that film good? I haven't seen it, but I've heard it's quite similar to Wolf Creek which I enjoyed.

The Conjuring

Someone give me the scariest film of all time to watch

I've been searching for like 5 years to find a horror film that I find remotely scary at all so not sure I can help with "scariest". I generally find them either boring, or funny :joker:.

The only media of any sort that has genuinely scared me in recent years, is a couple of sections of "The Last of Us". The first "Clicker" section, the first "Bloater" section, and one other part where you get rushed by a large group of runners all freaked my **** right out. I actually stopped playing for like 36 hours after the first dark Clicker section because I was jumpy as **** :laugh:.

[Niamh.]

The Ring and The Skeleton Key for me, I couldn't get those out of my head for ages afterwards

[Jamie89]

The Ring and The Skeleton Key for me, I couldn't get those out of my head for ages afterwards
I'd say the ring too, when she comes out the tv :worry:

[Niamh.]

I used to have visions of that bloody girl popping up behind me when i looked in the mirror at night time or following me up the stairs :worry:

[Nicky91]

well there hasn't a scary horror movie recent years



only scariest thing is Alien:Isolation when the alien surprises you, by sneaking behind you

[Ammi]

..I tend to go for scary, rather than gory in horror movies..the worst for me was The Strangers, I found that very disturbing just because things like that do actually happen, which adds an extra psychological thing for me...The Skeleton Key and The Ring definitely also...Let The Right One In, The Others..(which actually I think was just a 12 rating..:laugh:..)..but I found it quite spooky...Insidious, Orphan, 1408..(I was on the edge of my chair all of the way through that, just wanting him to get out of the room..)..Vacancy, One Hour Photo...(I'm trying to list all of the ones I've seen because they're all the most scary..)...

[Lostie!]

..I tend to go for scary, rather than gory in horror movies..the worst for me was The Strangers, I found that very disturbing just because things like that do actually happen, which adds an extra psychological thing for me

Yeah, that's why it creeped me out so much, that scenario happening is one of my big fears.

[Ammi]

..it's the masks as well, I think Lostie...that thought of someone torturing human beings but you can't see any emotion at all because you can't see their faces, I find that so disturbing..and yeah, some people have faced similar things for real...strangers coming into their home, their place of safety and been put through such awful things before they were eventually killed...

I don't think I would even watch that movie, torture films like that make me really uncomfortable

Yeah definitely, everything about it is just nightmarish.

Even down to never seeing the faces under the masks, and the only motive being "because you were home". One of the best movies at building a really unnerving atmosphere imo.

[Daniel.]

I heard negative reviews about The Strangers, it's worth a watch then?

[Ammi]

..also it was a true story I think..?...not what actually happened in the movie but that they did all just disappear from the house and some people, 'strangers' had been seen walking along the road away from the house...(I think that's what was said at the end of the movie but I'll have to check now..:laugh:..)..

[Ammi]

I heard negative reviews about The Strangers, it's worth a watch then?

...it is quite full of suspense Daniel, so if you like that in a movie I think you'll like it...

[Lostie!]

I heard negative reviews about The Strangers, it's worth a watch then?

Well it's all subjective. As far as I know the reviews were mixed, some negative and some very positive.

I'd say it's worth a watch but someone else could very well say it's not, just depends on whether the concept appeals to you or not. :laugh:

[Daniel.]

I'm more of a suspense/creepy lover than gore so I guess. :)

[Lostie!]

It's the sort of movie where, if I was watching it at home alone during the night and someone knocked at the door, I'd be terrified of going to answer it. It really plays on peoples' paranoia of this sort of scenario happening. :laugh:

[Babayaro.]

Strangers Spoiler

The Strangers was a terrible film imo. All that build up just for the strangers to stab them lol

[Daniel.]

Why would you spoil it :umm2:

I was going to watch it tonight.

[Babayaro.]

:[

[Babayaro.]

I genuinely didn't see your post Daniel. Soz

[Lostie!]

The Strangers was a terrible film imo. All that build up just for the strangers to stab them lol

What else would it be building up to though? :laugh:

[Babayaro.]

idk it just seemed like a bit of an anticlimax. It seemed like something bigger was going to happen. I suppose if I watch it again I might see it a bit differently

Was there any point in spoilering that lmao :worry:

[Drew.]

The Others, Wolf Creek, The Ring, The Orphanage & The Texas Chainsaw massacre are probably my favourites that genuinely leave you scared. There are tons more i like but they have more gore & leave you disturbed more than anything.

[Amy Jade]

I hate The Strangers, never cared who lived or died and never really found the killers creepy, recon I could take the two girls out

[Amy Jade]

Wolf Creek is a good call
I really wanted Cassandra to get away though but Mick was very creepy. It's a shame they made him so annoying in the sequel

I'll say Jeepers Creepers is pretty scary, especially the first 40 minutes

[Drew.]

Wolf Creek 2 is one of the most ****ed up movies i've seen. The first one really felt like a horror movie whereas the 2nd left me wanting to be sick half the time.. still, it was a good movie lol

Wolf Creek is really creepy. I saw it around Halloween time and it's one of those movies that sticks with you for a while after watching and it had some uncomfortable scenes too.

I really wanted Kristy to make it and I thought she was so close but then he found her in the morning. :sad:

Cassandra's death was soo sad.

[Xtopher]

I found Haute Tension pretty creepy too, especially the first 40 minutes or so

I actually I had a chat with the director when he was doing promo for Horns (that Daniel Radcliffe movie). I was obsessed with Haute Tension so I basically talked about that. All I remember was him going on about how sweet the guy who played the killer was. I truly believe it.

[Babayaro.]

Oh I forgot about Wolf Creek
The part where the old man gets shot in the head by the sniper is so gutting because the girl is so close to getting away. Also, I was pleasantly surprised that the guy (the good one) was the only survivor as it's usually always the woman, so I was kind of expecting him to get killed off at some point

[Amy Jade]

I hope the TV series is more like the 1st movie :fc:

The thing is with Wolf Creek that I liked is that your opinion changes throughout the movie on who you thought would survive.

At one point I though it would be Cassandra at first as she just seemed to fit the role of the female survivor in horror movies (quiet, shy, etc). But then she was the first one to die and then Kristy was so close to making it and getting away from Mick but then he killed her. And we all thought the guy was dead until the end but he got away lol.

[Jason.]

There's a TV series for Wolf Creek?

omg when

I love Alexandre Aja, he's my favourite modern horror director - imo his remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha were better than the originals

[Babayaro.]

The Hills Have Eyes remake is very good also. Not that keen on the second one though

How did Kristy die again?

No word yet but John Jarratt is back as Mick and apparently it revolves around Eve, an American tourist whos abducted by Mick. She survives his attack and wants revenge.

[Daniel.]

I need another film to watch tonight, so is TXM actually scary?

[Amy Jade]

How did Kristy die again?

Mick shoots her in the head

[Tom4784]

I need another film to watch tonight, so is TXM actually scary?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Nah, it's just gory.

[Amy Jade]

I think so, the original is pretty gritty looking it's one of those sorts of movie that you feel a bit dirty after watching it.

The remake is really good too

[Jason.]

How did Kristy die again?

When the old man got shot, she went got into his car and tried to get away and Mick was driving after her and kept trying to crash her car so he got out of his car and shot the tyres of the car she was driving with his sniper causing it to rollover and crash. And she tried to get out of the car after it crashed and Mick drove to where the crashed car was and she was crawling on the floor trying to get away and he shot her in the back and then in the head.

[Daniel.]

I might watch it. I haven't seen and really want to watch a horror film tonight.

[Amy Jade]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Nah, it's just gory.

I **** myself when Erin was in the house and he burst through the doors and when he attacked Erin and Pepper in the van. I also think the 'found footage' is really powerful, always leaves me feeling unnerved.

[Jason.]

I need another film to watch tonight, so is TXM actually scary?

Watch it. It's really good. I agree with Amy that it's quite gritty looking and it is creepy in some parts. One of my favourites. The original that is.

Omg that sounds good. Here for this

[Babayaro.]

Daniel if you're thinking about watching a TCM film, i'd watch the original. It has one of the creepiest atmosphere's of any film i've watched and it was way ahead of its time too

[Daniel.]

I'll take your advice, Jason, Amy and Marc, loovs.

[Xtopher]

I love Alexandre Aja, he's my favourite modern horror director - imo his remakes of The Hills Have Eyes and Piranha were better than the originals

Oh yes, love his films. I remember I had to take my father with me to see Hills when it came out, it was a bit too much for him lol. Piranha was great fun too. He's a very nice guy.

[Drew.]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of the most haunting movies i've ever seen.. even more so considering its inspired by a true story

[Jason.]

Daniel if you're thinking about watching a TCM film, i'd watch the original. It has one of the creepiest atmosphere's of any film i've watched and it was way ahead of its time too

It's got that rough, gritty, and dark atmosphere to it which makes the film imo. If it wasn't like that it wouldn't be as eerie.

[Daniel-X]

I don't really find any horror movies scary apart from the Child's Play series, something about Chucky seriously unsettles me and has done from a young age. I know the film is kind of meant to be rather funny but something about it really gets under my skin.
