Do you guys know a good horror movie?

[Teo Slayer]

I plan to watch with my friends a horror movie at 31st October to celebrate Halloween. But the problem is that I don't know a good movie so I want to hear your suggestions. Send a trailer of a horror movie that you like and I'll choose one, happy Spooktober btw :D

Not strictly horror, but try Bone Tomahawk if you're looking to shock your friends.

I've always liked 'The Babadook' - the name is ridiculous, but the movie is actually pretty sweet.

[P41R47]

-Seconding 'The Babadook'
Its more psychological horror than anything out there.
And probably the best out there of the genre.

 

-Hereditary is also good. Toni Collette acting is outstanding for sure.
Midsommar by the same director is also good, not as good as Hereditary, but it shines for moments.

 

-The Wailing, a korean horror film.

At first is seems like a joke, but it gradually evolves into a terrifying experience of outstanding proportions.

The best horror film i saw in quite a while.

 

Then the classics that are still marevelous.
-Jacob's Ladder.

The inspiration for many films and games to come, especially the whole Silent Hill Serie.

 

-The Wicker Man Director's Cut.

Mistery meets Twin Peaks meets phallic centric rural town meets some of the best acting of the time.

 

Those are my top 5, probably if i am not forgetting something.

I know a lot. 

 

And I'm gonna say Sssss- Suspiria

 

 

(this is a pretty good fanmade trailer)

The question is what is a "good" horror movie? I myself am pretty easily scared so when I watched Nightcrawler I pissed my pants even though it's nowhere near a horror movie. On the other hand the Purge 2 was quite funny I dunno. So do you want to be spooked or just laugh, I thoroughly enjoyed the Night of the Living Dead (1968), I almost laughed. But then the scene with the trowel came. Ohh, brr. So overall not a scary movie, but I enjoyed it. (Once again, I don't really like horror movies.)

Can't go wrong with Antonio Fulci's 'Zombi'

 

(it's hard to find a decent trailer but this one does it justice)

The VVitch

The VVitch is a really really good film. Seconding that.

[spwnSH4Rk]

Agreed, The Witch is amazing. Probably the best horror film I've seen in 10 years

 

[Rudolph]

John Carpenter's "Halloween", not the Rob Zombie remake or the 2018 semi-reboot.

 

George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.

 

The Last of UsThe Girl With All The Gifts.

 

Jordan Peele's "Get Out" and "Us".

[Mayomancer]

Maybe not Horror in the strict sense, but Angel's Egg is pretty good

[Biodegradable]

It Follows is a rare example of a modern horror film done right if you're looking for something more current than the usual classics. I highly recommend it.

[Major Arlene]

A Quiet Place I & II are masterclasses in using sound design to create genuine tension, plus protagonists that are incredibly strong, relatable, and badass.

[ZeMystic]

Hereditary was a weird horror film. Messed me up a bit lmao.

[RonLivingston]

There is house of wax, I've seen that before

[Bauul]

The film that scared me the most was probably The Descent, especially if you are claustrophobic.

 

The best horror film I ever saw, in terms of pacing, atmosphere and just a thoroughly well crafted story, is the The Orphanage (aka El orfanato). Probably the best straight-up haunted house type ghost story I've ever seen.

 

Otherwise all of the above are great suggestions!

[Bubbabooie]

Phantasm was great. I really loved It Followed. Some others listed here I like were The Shining, The Fog, The Witch, and The Wailing. Zombie was listed here too; The Beyond was another great 70s Italian horror movie. It Comes at Night was dreadful (dread-filled) and brutal.

Hellraiser (1987 original)

Spoorloos (avoid the 90s remake The Vanishing)*

Ghost Stories (2017)

It (2017)

The Nightingale

Doctor Sleep

 

The old classic horror movies from the 30s are worth a watch too, especially Frankenstein. And the 50s had a lot of great stuff too, like Them!, Creature from the Black Lagoon and The Incredible Shrinking Man.

[Dubbag]

Look up the movie "1 Man 1 Jar" Starring Nicholas Cage. An epic body horror thriller film for the ages.

[The BMFG]

the remakes of it 1 and it 2 scared the shit out of me

[Snark]

The cabin in the woods is a VERY clever take on the classical "teens go to cabin/ monsters or zombies turn up and kill everyone " genre. Seriously, I was both highly entertained and intellectually satisfied by this one. And there's an AWESOME last second actor cameo...

 

 

[june gloom]

You can't go wrong with the original Halloween. I would also recommend Halloween II, 4 through 6, the 2018 one and Halloween Kills (though these last two disregard everything except the first movie.)

[PeterMoro]

One of the scariest movies I've ever seen was Event Horizon.
