Horror Movies/Series discussion

Add Damein Omen movies to the list.

Also Shutter Island is more suspense than thriller.

I wonder Why "The Woman In Black is not in this List." [Section: Supernatural Horror.] , One of the best recent SN Horror movies, IMO.

@zangetsu you need to make some updates man. How can Final Destination be a horror movie?

Finally!
My share:

Shutter (2004 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alone (2007 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eye (2008 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thirteen Ghosts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forget Me Not (2009 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so its a comedy movie?

@Gearbox: I've seen 13ghosts & Shutter (Shutter was good)
will check others also

Add Wrong Turn 2. I haven't seen the first one, but this one has a hell of a lot of gore.

Final Destination is more like thriller/gore IMHO, especially the later sequels.

Are you serious or kidding?
Final Destination is more of Thriller genre right? It can't be horror.

Could you please bold out best in class horror?

then I'll have to bold all in the list...coz I have eliminated those which are weak or dull.
but I will post the ones which are weak but still a one time watch here and will mention about them

If you like Japanese horror, check out Noroi : The Curse. It makes Paranormal Activity look as gay as Twilight.

very good list.keep up the good work

Good list. I would contribute here once I reach Kolkata.

My thread is catching dust, will it be ok to merge it here or do I kill (ask to lock) it?

Another one of my favourites is The Midnight Meat Train. Its written by Clive Barker, the one who wrote the Hellraiser series and the game Jericho.

BTW, what is the goriest movie that you have seen? Mine is not exactly a movie, but a music video for a song by Cattle Decapitation, but that is really sick stuff so cannot share here.

^^ Did u mean forced gender reassignment ?

That video just gives a feel cattle decapitation are trying soooo hard to be brutal.

Sorry but I never found killswitch engage(death-core) or All that remains(metal-core) doing **** like that. I would rather say bands who want to be framed as "BRUTAL" do videos like that.

List updated with 2 movies (kill theory & the strangers)

guys if want real gore then
watch
The Guinea Pig Series
this movie has 7 parts but I will say only watch part 1 & part 2 for its awesome gore effects (although fake) but its hard to say coz they look so real.
part 3 onwards it becomes comedy & funny so only pt 1 & pt 2 are excellent

good lord!!
yes!!!

now let me fire up utorrent.

yes it was banned movie...and also the cops had investigated the producers/makers of this movie to prove that the effects were not real...
due to such investigations the makers had released another last part 7 called 'Making of Guinea pig series' where they showed how all it was made

Extremely gore/disturbing:

Click to expand...

OK. That post of yours made me feel you were generalizing for the core bands

I will keep adding as I keep remembering.

One Missed Call which is based on the japanese film of the same name.

In this remake of the Japanese horror film "Chakushin Ari" (2003), several people start receiving voice-mails from their future selves -- messages which include the date, time, and some of the details of their deaths.

Click to expand...

Also, one that I found particularly interesting :

Tetsuo : The Iron Man (Nothing to do with Marvel comics)

*ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg0MDgxMTgwMl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMjUwNjQzMQ@@._V1._SY317_CR8,0,214,317_.jpg

A strange man known only as the "metal fetishist", who seems to have an insane compulsion to stick scrap metal into his body, is hit and possibly killed by a Japanese "salaryman", out for a drive with his girlfriend. The salaryman then notices that he is being slowly overtaken by some kind of disease that is turning his body into scrap metal, and that his nemesis is not in fact dead but is somehow masterminding and guiding his rage and frustration-fueled transformation.

Click to expand...

The last one I liked a lot because its shot in a B-grade grindhouse fashion and black and white and the soundtrack has some amazing industrial tracks.

It has two sequels :

Tetsuo II : Body Hammer
*ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTE5OTYwOTkwNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTMwMTEyMQ@@._V1._SY317_CR5,0,214,317_.jpg

Sequel to "Tetsou" this time has the Iron Man transforming into cyberkinetic gun when a gang of vicious skinheads kidnap his son. When the skinheads capture him, they begin to experiment on him...speeding up the mutative process!

Tetsuo : The Bullet Man

*ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg0NTAyMzMwMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzcyNjEzNA@@._V1._SY317_CR1,0,214,317_.jpg

This last one is in English and features music by Trent Reznor.

Thir13en Ghosts

I think this one is a very underrated movie. The story is awesome IMHO.

*ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTM2NzIzNTg1MV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNjA0ODc5._V1._SY317_.jpg

Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive

Pulp Fiction


Special Mention to Limitless, do watch this

Saw all the Tetsuo series movies yesterday. Not very scary, but if body horror's your thing, you will not be disappointed.

Tetsuo I : The Iron Man is about a salary man whose body turns to scrap metal after being cursed by a stranger whom he accidentally hits with his car. (Japanese)

Tetsuo II : Body Hammer is about a guy who turns into a metallic human weapon out of rage when his son is kidnapped. (Japanese)

Tetsuo III : The Bullet Man is an english language film about a guy who, out of rage, turns into a metallic entity whose body is full of guns and later transforms into some sort of fusion reactor.

The movie seems pretty B grade, especially the first part, but I think the concept is awesome.

Thank you guys, I will watch Grudge and Ring first. I will watch the other movies later on.

Has anyone watched Darkness Falls (2003)? It is a pretty good movie.

Synopsis : A vengeful spirit has taken the form of the Tooth Fairy to exact vengeance on the town that lynched her 150 years earlier. Her only opposition is the only child, now grown up, who has survived her before.

Personal addendum : The ghost cannot tolerate the light and therefore only remains and stalks people from the darkness.

Watch the 'Hostel' series...

Mirrors movie is more or less same, except that the ghost dwells in mirrors.

Ha ha, watch Salo: 100 days of Sodom then!!

As the title says. This thread is meant to discuss horror movies. Since I think horror movies are a niche here, carrying out a discussion on the other movies thread would not be appropriate. Therefore, I have created this thread to serve this purpose.

My most favourite genres of movies are war, sci-fi, drama and of course, horror. I think its a brilliant genre of movies mostly because of the difficulty to pull off good scares or to have a lasting impression on the mind.

This thread is for discussing and suggesting horror movies. All types of horror movies are welcome as long as they have a scare factor. Slasher movies also allowed.

Some of my favourite horror movies (in no particular order):

1. The Shining (1980) - IMDb

Stanley Kubrick's seminal horror movie which is an all time classic. Based on a novel by Stephen King, this does not have much corporeal horror but the psychological and supernatural horror is on point. Jack Nicholson's absolutely stellar performance beats the point home. A must watch classic for any horror aficionado.

2. The Blair Witch Project (1999) - IMDb

One of the pioneers of the "found footage" genre of horror movies. The Blair Witch project tells the story of a group of student filmmakers filming a documentary about the legend of the titular Blair Witch in the woods. Unexplainable phenomena begin to occur as the investigation goes on as the crew are stalked and harassed by a mysterious entity.

3. Noroi (2005) - IMDb

This film is another found footage film, filmed in a documentary style following a filmmaker investigating the paranormal occurrences that have been sweeping a Japanese city. Knotted strings and dead birds begin to appear around the city. He goes to the root of the matter uncovering the source to an ancient and evil mythological entity.

4. The Grudge (2004) - IMDb

Another classic must watch movie. Following the reanimated spirits of a murdered family seeking revenge on anyone who comes into their home.

5. Hellraiser (1987) - IMDb

A classic film based on Clive Barker's novel The Hellbound Heart. Follows a family who come into contact with the Cenobites - a race of sadomasochistic extra-dimensional beings who some from a dimension of unlimited pleasure and unlimited pain pursuing the person who escaped from their realm.

6. The Thing (1982) - IMDb

Written and directed by John Carpenter, The Thing is a brilliant mix of psychological horror and body horror. It follows a group of individuals isolated at a antarctic research station as they come into contact with a shapeshifting life form that starts infecting and impersonating them. The tension gets thick as trust begins to wither between the members while the alien life form picks them off.

7. Alien (1979) - IMDb

With perhaps the best monster design of all horror movies, Alien is another classic horror film. Following the crew of a hauling starship called the Nostromo. They come into contact with a distress beacon that leads them to an uncharted planet. While investigating the signal they inadvertently bring aboard an Alien organism that stalks the halls of their ship and starts hunting them down. Great performance by Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley.

8. Tetsuo (1989) - IMDb

A very low budget production, shot in black and white. Tetsuo: The Iron Man follows a Japanese salary man who gets cursed by a man with a fetish for metal. This causes his body to transform into an amalgamation of flesh and metal. Good visceral atmosphere and great industrial soundtrack.

9. Pet Sematary (1989) - IMDb

Also based on a novel by Stephen King. This film follows a guy who loses his child and overcome by grief buries its corpse in a Native American burial ground that is rumored to bring dead things back to life.

Will reply with more as I remember.

Alien is definitely my rank 1 in terms of horror, not because it is actually scary but the amount of lore they managed to build up because of the movies is just stunning.
Aliens was not horror but still a great movie to watch.
We dont talk about the other movies.
BTW, anyone into HP Lovecraft here ?

Duuude. I am big into Lovecraft. Read many of his books including Call Of Cthulhu, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror, etc. Too bad there isn't many good movies based on his books.

Yea, Aliens was a bit more action packed but still good enough to watch. Though I think if Aliens came out 30 or so years ago then it would definitely have been scary. Now people are too desensitized so older movies don't feel scary any more.

Have you seen The Thing?

Edit: So what kind of horror you guys like the most? Psychological horror or body horror?

Yep, the new movie tied up so well to the old one, that ending helicopter dog chase scene. Thats how prequels should be made lol

BTW the new Call of Cthulu game (which also has relation to the old one) looks absolutely great. (Kinda going offtopic, but big HP Lovecraft fan).
My personal favourite is cosmic horror.

The abyss returns even the boldest gaze.

Yeah, I played the game. Its loosely based on Shadow Over Innsmouth though. Never completed it because of a bug that makes the game incompleteable. Good game but that should be discussed in the horror games thread.

I am definitely not into horror movies (I always think that there are enough horrors around in real world, to see cinema which horrifies you). But that doesn't mean I don't respect them. But my taste includes horror which are mostly psychological or horror combined with sci fi/thriller. One more reason I don't like in horror movies are jump scares.

So I am not even surprised that I haven't even watched a single film listed in the OP.

With that note, here are some horror movies I like:

The Cube: Damn, this film. It's amazing. It's so thrilling and nasty. There are not a lot jump scares, but the story and how it progresses it's very unsettling, thrilling and uncomfortable. The Cube 2 and 3 were not that good, but if you like Cube 1, then you may want to watch them too.

The Cabin in the Woods: Even if it's horror, IMDb also classify it as comedy. And damn it's good. Things take very wrong turn, and spooky. The movies makes so many references to the tropes of other horror movies. And as goes full on crazy during the end. I loved it.

The Butterfly Effect: It's one of the movies that is difficult to describe. But even thinking about the story now gave me a shiver. So that's something. I find the movie absolutely engaging, very weird, and climax absolutely bewildering! The climax is beyond imagination. So kudos to the one actually thinking about it.

Donnie Darko: I can't even write about this movie. It's just unspeakable. It's very creepy. But I still liked it. Don't know why or how. It doesn't come under the genre of horror which I like, but the film still spoke to me on some level.

A Clockwork Orange: This is a classic by Stanley Kubrick. It's also a very uncomfortable movie, and seems very weird to even be released. The movie seems wrong, especially about the time it came. But it's absolutely enthralling to watch.

IMO Horror means different things for different people. Good horror movies exploit your fears effectively. If you are too scared to even watch it that means that the movie actually was effective. But I think confronting your fears is what makes horror movies enjoyable.

I knew this existed but wasn't able to find.
Maybe @Desmond David and mods can agree to merge these two.

because I like Horror movies
I will post my profile link of icheckmovies and the OP is very small compared to the horror movies I have watched till date

Now that we're here, why not remove the only 'thriller' movies from the list?

Nah, it's okay I think. Sometimes thriller movies can also be scary

BTW, you guys seen 13 Ghosts? The one from 2001, not the original. It gets a lot of flak for being bad but I thought it was pretty good. Yes, the acting can be a bit janky at times and there is some unnecessary amount of comic timing. But overall, the concepts of each of the titular 13 Ghosts and the ending concept, etc is pretty much on point IMO.

Edit: Date

Remove The Cabin in the Woods and The Cube from the original post. Since as per Rhitwick, those two are not horror movies.

The cabin in the woods I would mostly call a horror-satire, if there exists something like this (but there should).
Cube is pure thriller and the OP wants to have thrillers here too.

So....let both be here.

I am waiting for the "The Nun" movie now. i like how they are merging the Annabel & conjuring series.

A good short analysis of The Shining:

Never seen Videogamedunkey do a serious video like this.

^^ Saw the trailer and it looks really good.
Netflix has very good Series with them.

Anyone here seen Marianne? It is good series considering whatever is out there for this genre. I would recommend. Its available on Netflix and is in French language.

Nope, I haven't really found any good TV series when it comes to horror. Stranger Things comes to mind but it's more slice-of-life than horror, good concept though but seriously lacking in the scare factor. Perhaps I am too desensitized to all of the horror that I have watched so far.

Click to expand...

Lol. I am now not sure if you will like Marianne as well. The story gets better in both the series but the middle 1-2 episodes are dry. Even if you feel bored first few episodes, i would suggest to keep going since both the series are small.

Oh well, let's see if I come around to it.

IMO TV/Web series don't really work very well with horror, especially if it is the same long-running narrative because you cannot show horror elements regularly and you have to pad out the whole season with non-relevant story arcs from time to time. It works well only if it's an anthology series or if it's a series with episodes dealing with different supernatural elements (like Supernatural or Constantine).

Haunting of the Hill House is based on the book. It has only 10 episodes and there is a build up to take it to some point in the story but they have stayed relevant for the most part.
I would give a solid 7/10 since its far better than other series/movies out there in this genre.
As for Marianne, only 8 episodes, not that scary but I liked the series overall through scenery, BGM and also good acting from the lead character.

Ok, I will try Haunting of Hill House this weekend and see.

Desmond David said:

What!!!

This is by far the best horror TV show ever created.
American Horror Story - S01 comes close to this but failed to keep the pace/surprises till the end.

"Haunting of Hill House" is benchmark on how a "Horror" TV show should be made!

They are coming out with a sequel (diff. story and character though)

Click to expand...

Even I had this notion till "Haunting of Hill House" came.
American Horror Story spoilt the taste of horror TV show for me. And I kept on thinking there can never be a TV series on horror as the horror elements would die down and you would used to the shocks soon.

But, but I was proven wrong and how I loved to be proven wrong by this show!

Makes me really think what is actually left in the future of horror. Most of the tropes have be done to death.

Horror movie world is mostly dominated by Hollywood.
So Ghosts related or out of Bible would dominate their stories.

Next is to look into folklore of other countries and invest in them.

Everyone loves a well told movie. Why not from Japanese, Thai, Korean, Chinese etc.

IMO horror is not completely based on folklore, it's more about things that challenge our sense of reality or forcing us to face things that we fear the most. Folklore is just a backdrop, but what's really exploited is our own sense of fear.

Now, fear can be something very mundane. For example, we all fear for the safety of our family members, so if say your children go out of the house we ask them to return before dark and if they don't come back we begin to worry. If it gets even later and they don't return, we begin to panic and start fearing the worst. So, the challenge of a good horror story would be, how to exploit such fear in a story. A good example of this is Pet Sematary where a family loses their child in an accident and unable to cope with the loss goes to forbidden lengths to get the child back.

So, the material does not really matter but it's about how fear is exploited.

Any watched Siccin Series they have released 7 parts ?

Relevant

There are some movies in that list I haven't seen. Will check that out.

Finished 'The Haunting of the Bly Manor', sigh ... Do not watch this, it is more of drama than a horror series. Except the cast and acting, nothing is good here. You might find the cast familiar from 1st part.

Have any of you watched this series? Lovecraft Country (TV Series 2020– ) - IMDb

It's based on H P Lovecraft's stories apparently.

^IMDB says this,

Will this have any connection whatsoever (other than the title) to the works of H.P. Lovecraft?

Yes and no, because the novel of the same name it's based on makes significant references to Lovecraft. The Novel is a commentary on what is wrong with Lovecraft's work in the eyes of the writer Matt Ruff. It is vaguely set in the same universe but it isn't written in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.

Oh well. Makes sense given that H P Lovecraft was actually a huge racist. But sadly I guess proper Lovecraft movies are hard to make.

Thanks for posting here. I watched this movie on last weekend and loved it.

Entire movie is almost in daylight, have bright colored scenes but that doesn't shine enough light to overcome the darkness of the context. Generally I like good cult based movies like Hereditary and this was no exception. It might be slow for some people and runs for 2hr 50 mins but with a short refreshing break, the time spent was worth. I really liked the acting of the lead actress too.

Overall, if one likes cult based horror movies/series then this is a must watch!

Anything for Jackson is a decent movie from horror genre. Do not believe the comparisons with Hereditary on some website, like I did. It is a bit slow paced cult based movie with very few characters which was a +1 according to me.
I would give 6.8/10 for this good slow horror movie not relying on jump scares.

Midsommar (2019)
This is seriously a cult movie. With lot of WTF moments
Another movie I saw long back was Hereditary & Wicker Man.

Well many uncensored(aka not Indian censor board/services passed) horror movies are NSFW anyway.

^Yeah. But we aren't allowed to post NSFW contents here. But i am suddenly interested and I would actually watch a non-sense movie as long as its funny.

Why they think of making it anyway its gonna be FLOP show.

Vanity perhaps? Or for tax purposes.

Tried to find these on prime video India but no luck. Any prime video India based good horror movie suggestions ?

I am currently watching the entire Hellraiser series from the start. Currently finished Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth.

I can't believe how good these films are. The first one is a classic of course and the series kind of loses steam with each sequel but I never get tired of seeing Pinhead and his team.

I watched them long time ago when they were braodcasted on Star movies back in early 2000 I think. After watching hellraiser 1/2/3 just stop at hellraiser 4 bloodline. I never bothered with any other hellraiser movie after that(a little spoiler but hellraiser 4 is kind of an origin story as well as finisher for the series).

Those are heavily censored. I suggest watching elsewhere for the uncensored ones.

The rest of them are not that good, I just watch them for completeness. Though the last one Hellraiser: Judgement has somewhat better reviews.

Yes but I also got the uncensored versions later. If you haven't seen Hellraiser Bloodline yet then watch it, chances are you will not want to watch later hellraiser movies(they all are/will be its prequels in a sense unless they reboot the series).

Yeah, I watched it. Pretty bad acting overall. But still I never get tired of watching Pinhead rip people apart.

The thing is that Clive Barker isn't involved much in the later movies, so the rights holders just make whatever story they feel like making. Even the original actor of Pinhead does not reprise his role in the last few movies.

I actually don't bother with prequels/spinoffs unless they are exceptional(one such example was Rogue One). For me Hellraiser series ended with Bloodline & unless they reboot the series(in a good way) I see no point in seeing any of the later movies which are all prequels/spinoffs(the same reason I haven't watched fantastic beasts & its sequel).

As above, so below 7.5/10

really? I have been ignoring every movie below 7 until now,, except from the comedy genre.

Yeah. Horror genre is the most low rated. You will hardly find Horror movies crossing 8 rating in IMDb.

Check this Feature Film, Rating Count of 25,000, Horror (Sorted by IMDb Rating Descending) - IMDb,

only 11 movies crossing 8 rating as compared to other Genres.

Yesterday I watched Color Out Of Space. It's actually much better than I expected. It captures the cosmic horror really good and there are numerous references to Lovecraft's works since it is set in the fictional Arkham county from the Lovecraft works and cities like Innsmouth, Dunwich, etc are also mentioned.

The problem however is that most of the characters are very two-dimensional but overall the movie is a really trippy experience.

I have seen the trailer & I think the most important plot twist already revealed(it shows a certain someone strongly hinted as turning into candyman/candyman's proxy so there is no suspense regarding who actually is candyman in this movie(original only appears as bits & pieces kind of like saw reboot but instead in trailer they revealed who the successor of jigsaw is).

From the plot, it seemed a sequel not a reboot. Not sure exactly. Lets see.

^ I haven't seen the old one so I am interested and also, since they have revealed the identity, then something else might be there which they have not shown in the trailer. I know this a obvious trick but its for working on me

It's a very low budget, avant-garde-ish movie, mostly shot in black and white (a la Eraserhead). But it tells a more clear story rather than something surreal.

It depends upon what genre of Horror you like. Horror has subtypes which some people don't like.

Yeah, it's technically a cult movie and while not as surreal as Eraserhead, it's still pretty surreal in other ways.

I personally think it's a really good body horror movie with a pretty unique concept.

Wikipedia gives a good synopsis of the movie.

Here's my understanding though:


The story is told non-linearly at times which makes it hard to follow. But the whole movie is really a low budget art film and the visuals and hallucinations are all part of the experience.

Fear Street: Part One - 1994 - 6.5/10

Slasher movie fans would love this one.

Recently saw following on Netflix

1. Midnight Mass- Slightly slow but the dialogues are good and worth paying attention. The conversations are not just the fillers or build up for story also has meanings related to life. I would say a must watch only because of a fresh story in this genre and I would rate it 7.5/10
2. Dabbe- A Turkish movie based on black magic. Good one time watch. 6/10

Please update here if anything recently came out and worth watching.

Depends what kind of horror you want to watch. As horror has various sub-genres.

Just check for NC-17 Rating if you want to know how typical the Horror movie is. NC-17 is more violent that R-Rated movies

Cannot call it a Zombie movie. They have added Comedy also in this. E.g.: The president speech scene (WTF)
Never saw a Comedy scene in serious situation in a Horror movie. This is Fiction but still fails to impress the audiences, forgettable movie.
May be the Director wanted to show COVID infection in different virus form.

Compared to Train to Busan this film is a flop show.

I agree it is not exactly a zombie movie but I found the president speech scene "dark humour". The unique thing about this movie was the "logic of infection" which is quite novel(a virus mutation affecting human brain in a very unique way related to centres of pain & pleasure) unlike other such movies where either such infection creates "mindless killers"(28 days later) or "dying ppl/dead walking"(12 monkeys & every zombie movie incl Resident Evil).

Eagerly looking forward to this.

Just finished Fear Street : Part Two 1978
Much better than part 1. Director has made a good watching Slasher movie.

Fear Street : Part Three : Excellent conclusion of the series. Generally the Horror movies has failure with sequels. But this movie is different.
Excellent direction and Cinematography. Part 3 and Part 2 are much better than Part 1. Story is good.

Color Out of Space (2019) - Damn good horror movie, with lot of suspense. Excellent cinematography and effects. Do watch it. Based on H.P Lovecraft book. Some of the scenes are shocking to watch. But nice concept and plot.

Yeah, I have watched it, really liked it. The characters are kind of one dimensional but I liked the story.

Also there are references to other Lovecraft towns. The water researcher for example comes from Miskatonic university.

I wish David Lynch directs some Lovecraft story someday.

First look: Uzumaki

The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Brilliant Horror movie. A must watch for all Horror fans. Not to be missed.

I watched few movies recently so I will give my ratings on those movies only from entertainment perspective

Evil Dead Rise: 5.5/10. Its an ok movie with some jump scares.

The taking of Deborah Logan: 6.5/10. Not enough scary but still decent story line so I recommend it.

The Medium: 7/10. This Thai movie has decent amount of horror. One of the good horror from recent times, definitely recommended.

The Host: 4/10. Such a good concept. But they ruined it. Looks like they didn't had enough after certain point. It is just 1 hr watch so if one is utter bored, can watch this.

Attachment: 6/10. Another black magic movie based on Jewish superstitions. Its a decent one time watch for people who like slow burn movies with okayish horror elements.

Dabbe the possession: 7/10. Turkish movie on Netflix is another movie I saw long back but I didn't update here I guess. This is another good movie based on black magic, which keeps on building up the story upto the climax which will not disappoint.

Suspiria 7/10 I watched this one long back. It is a remake of 1977 movie which rated higher on IMDB. I have not seen the old one, but this one is definitely recommended. This one is slow but has elements to keep you on the edge till the end.

Now all these movies are not so scary like Hereditary so I recommend watching all these in dark and if possible, alone.
Please recommend some new(last 4 years) horror movies as I am looking for some good ones.

Also, question to everyone here,
1. Are we allowed to put personal ratings here? Last few recommendations are not with ratings. I just followed the Movie thread rule here so provided my own ratings.

2. After knowing the ratings, do you still feel interested to watch the movie? Like I gave 4/10, will you watch it or just skip. I tend to skip horror movies which are rated below 6.0. So I want to know if people here would like to watch the movie without knowing the ratings like this or ratings just kill all the excitement for low rated movies and over hype good rated movies, which does ruin the entertainment factor a little bit.

I doubt I will have the time to watch even one of those. But when I do I will consult your list.

It Follows: 6.5/10. The story line is almost unique, but I deducted 0.5 for lack of horror elements. As the name suggests, there is something which follows the victims/chosen one. The way story is told with light horror and suspense, IMO it is refreshing,

I feel like watching horror movie in theaters is waste because we know we are not alone so the scare factor goes down significantly. Now if I am watching movie alone at home at night, lights off, may be with 1 more person, gives better thrill. Almost all the horror movies I have watched, I only enjoyed because I watched them alone at night. I think Midsommar is the only movie I came across which doesn't need night or lone affect to leave lingering scary thoughts.

That is true. I have watched Alien & Aliens multiple times. In fact Aliens & Terminator 2 are the only two sequels I ever found to be better than their predecessors (excl Dark Knight as that is more like a comic book series instead of a typical sequel).

Aliens wasnt exactly horror like the original Alien was. But both are amazing movies on their own.

Y'all should play Alien: Isolation if you haven't already. It's uncannily true to the original movie in visuals.

Note: I do not watch gore movies. Horror and gore is separate for me. Gore with horror is fine. Do you have any suggestion in this category?

Interesting premise.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter
6.5/10
Another Dracula movie. It is not scary or leaves lingering thoughts on your mind but it is entertaining.

The Cinematography is excellent.

I dont' really understand all the elements of cinematography

Cinematography is the art of composing shots. Basically the art of framing a scene and recording it.

Yes I read about it. I do understand the basics. But if someone says cinematography was good then I can't think of scenes unless it was extraordinary and explicitly visible. Eyes and brain arent tuned to pick subtle works.

Both movies are based on Spiders...Worth to Watch

I like spiders!! They catch other insects and eat so I kind of consider them as friendly neighbors

The only spider I like is Spider man.

I have not seen any of these. I generally don't like horror movies/shows where the element of horror is only jump scares. Are these worth investing time?

^^Same here. But heard good review about them. I have added them to my watchlist.
Will Probably start Hellbound (7 episodes)

^Please update your review after you are done

Try this...Mike Flanagan's mini series....You never disappoint

The Haunting of Bly Manor

Midnight Mass

Haunting of Bly Manor is almost like Haunting of the Hill House, by a lot of margin lol(similar cast!)

Midnight Mass is one of my favorite series horror now!! Its a slow burn but they keep the viewers engaged as the plot progress.

What You Wish For - 2023

Hokum: 6.5/10
A decent horror movie with very minimal horror part. I liked the slow paced simple story. I would recommend it.

I did not like Hokum. very slow and not that scary. Plot & Story was weak.
Horror is missing and the last 30mins of the movie was like meh.

Watch Beezel (2024) the rating is 4.9. But the Horror element in it is superb. I stumbled upon this low rating movie accidentally, but it surprised me.
