Actually scary horror films

Has anyone got any recommendations? I've been on a bit of a horror movie binge since having a marathon of them at a friend's place, but none of them actually scare me.

Pic unrelated, but I did love Cabin in the Woods.

>angst
>poughkeepsie tapes
>threads
these movies are all pretty good and make you feel uncomfortable

where can I watch It comes at night ?
My cinemas dont show it

He asked for scary horror films not teen drama crap.

The japanese Grudge films are absolutely terrifying to me. Don't bother with the american remakes though.

This, up until the beach scene. Then it just gets comical

Still, great movie and killer soundtrack

>no teen drama crap!
>Japanese Grudge films

Lol

At least they're scary unlike It Follows

I actually felt genuine fear watching Cronenberg's "The Brood".

OP here, thanks for the list. Should've said that just general creepy and/or unsettling films are great too.

I'm actually from the Aussie state that Snowtown happened in, and have watched it, so that was pretty fucked considering we've all heard about the 'bodies in the barrels' murders.

Lake Mungo

I liked the Babadook. I recommend it. It's not very scary but its worth the watch.

trash.
anyone who unironically recommends this shit flick to anyone should seriously kill themselves.

>Horror films
>any of these
what? lol

Jacob's Ladder

How about you actually list some movies yourself instead of flinging shit around?

Nothing is scary when you're an adult.
Here are some films with merit
A Dark Song
The Autopsy of Jane Doe
Noroi
The Borderlands
Descent
The Innkeepers

>>the woman in black (original)
Based on that alone I will watch all the films you recommended

Thanks for this list m8

Ah man what a great film

I keep seeing this recommended. I guess it's really that good?

OP, someone already mentioned Kairo. Kurosawa's Creepy is also really unsettling. Berberian Sound Studio was great. So was Starry Eyes.

Noroi was great, the nips working on it knew the value of pacing and suspense.

I think Occult and Shirome are just as good, if not even better, at least in Occult's case.

most ghost story for christmas films are good
old m r james horror

For what it's worth it was the most enjoyable horror in a while, not perfect but a fun ride.

This

>actually fell for this meme
I swear to god never again I am listening to you retards

The only movie that has made me feel unsettled and on edge is Beyond the Black Rainbow.
I felt physically sick while watching it, like it had some sort of vertigo-inducing effect on me. I don't expect everyone to feel the same way watching it, but you might wanna give it a try.

Speaking of getting memed into watching a movie...

texas chainsaw massacre 74
exorcist
blair witch
anything else is shit tier

I actually believe you,the movie is something else in HD.

Lake Mungo genuinely scared the hell out of me but I hate recommending it to people because if it doesn't scare you it just ends up boring you. I feel like you have to have certain pre-existing fears to be affected by it.

Fuck, cabin in the Woods is fucking garbage.

Ju-On: The Curse (Original TV Film)
Dans ma peau
Martyrs, if you can overlook the really funny/silly parts.
Kurosawa's Loft is my personal favorite.

I don't know how anyone can find something as plot heavy and meandering as ringu scary.

Even the least scary Kurosawa is unsettling forever.

There's literally next to no character development or interaction, at least in the good ones. It's not faux-cerebral like it follows, sure, but it achieves a pitch black, surreal sense of nihilistic dread unlike pretty much anything else. It follows is Titanic next to the original.

Oh, so you've watched literally every horror and thriller movie out there and decided yourself that only these three extremely popular and mainstream movies, one of which is simply painfully average at best, are not only the only three good horror moves in existence, but also that the rest is simply "shit tier" and unwatchable?
Oh man, good for you. I'm glad we have such masters of kinography as you in our little board. Thank you sincerely for your input.

Oh so for you it's: foreign language films = scary, huh?
What are you, a literal xenophobe?

>Even the least scary Kurosawa is unsettling forever

You got that right. I haven't started watching Penance yet. Where would update it amongst his work?

Also, OP, don't forget the trilogies:
Carpenter's Apocalypse Trilogy
Fulci's Gated of He'll Trilogy

>literally every horror and thriller movie out the
most of them

so do you have an actual example of another geniunely scary movie or are you just talking out of your ass

None of these are scary and texas chainsaw is the only one that even barley passes as a movie.

The language barrier pretty much objectively makes everything more unnerving, especially if the film works on a visual or psychological level. I can't think of any english language films I've ever found immensely scary other than a moment or two in a few lynch films.

I get the impression it's drama rather than horror, hope to be wrong about that but he's great at that as well.

>most of them
I don't think you understand quite how many movies are out there. A man couldn't watch half of them in his lifetime if he lived up to 100 and watched 5 movies a day.
The bellow movies are all unsettling in one way or another:

Megan is Missing

LMAO

Noroi
it was pretty fucking scary because some people are not used with japs religion tradition and myth, it feels very unusual..

>The language barrier pretty much objectively makes everything more unnerving, especially if the film works on a visual or psychological level.

I can attest to that. The first time I saw Zlo it was unsubbed. The fact I couldn't understand anything being said added to the terror of the film. Seeing it again subbed actually detracted from it, because now, on some different level, I "understood" the movie.

I might have found this movie interesting as a teen, but as an adult, the source of drama in the film seems childish and flimsy.

>funny games

Not scary at all, but still an excellent movie

It's really hard to get scared as you get older. The best advice I can give is that you choose movies that caters to your fears.

In my case it's movies that involve surgical procedures going wrong (Awake, Excision, The Skin I Live In, Eyes Without A Face, American Mary, etc).

I don't know about inspiring fear, as lets be real, horror films tend to lose that once you have seen more than a handfull. You get jaded. I know I have.

But I will give the first season of American Horror Story props. It managed to inspire some genuine dread a few times, since I cared about the characters. When a certain character is revealed to have died some time ago, and shit is hitting the fan, the emotion of the scene and seeing the maggot ridden corspe of a character that had grown on me and the tragedy of their fate really hit me hard. I've gotten used to predicting where a film or show is going before it ever gets there, and somehow this caught me out.

OP here, thanks for all the suggestions everyone, I made a pastebin link of what everyone has said so far:

>pastebin.com/eYD8fCCt

Depends on what you find scary. I'm more of a slow-burn scare kind of guy, so here's my list:
>Alien
>Invasion of the Body Snatchers (70s one)
>The Thing (80s one)
>The Changeling
>The Witch
>The Shinning
>Misery
>Christine (underrated, got to keep an open-mind for this one)
>Session 9
>Silence of the Lambs
>Noroi: The Curse
>Audition
Plenty more out there though.

No. The concept of this film is frightening but the execution is like a fucking music video. I felt nothing
