Genuinely scary horror movies

[Nig]

The Strangers
Eden Lake (probably not horror mind)

A mate recommended eden lake as a "believable horror"
I'm not into horror films but as it was on tv a year or so ago i watched it and was depressed and pìssed off

Anyways, all us awld fookas used to hide behind the sofa when the daleks came on

Sinister
The Woman in Black
The Descent
The Wailing is quality

I liked Hereditary tbh, found it creepy

 

[houghton cut head]

It is good

‘Rec’ original Spanish version....very well made, pretty creepy in bits and a bit at the end made me crap my duds...

 

[Scotsmackem]

The Descent and the Evil Dead remake both scared the shit out of me like.

 

[Albay3037]

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) probably classed as a sci-fi film (sci-fi/horror?) but can remember watching it as kid and the ending scaring the crap out of me, probably still stands the test of time.

 

[The Exile]

The Shining.

 

[ajthemackem]

Superman III.

 

[Albay3037]

Superman IV.

Hadaway, the wifey getting sucked into the machine scared the unholy screaming shit out of me.

Is the OP asking for genuinely scary movies to adults, or when you were a bairn- in which case I would put forward The Never Ending Story, the nothing was a right nasty kernt

Both of the Conjuring flicks are class

I read Susan Hill's 'Woman In Black' and the 'book' was proper nicely scary. The 1989 tv movie of the film (not the Harry Potter one) did it justice and although not as scary as the book was nevertheless very nicely scary indeed. My nana told me a scary book soothes a troubled mind. Wise words.

Evil Dead.. Who's in my fruit cellar?
The Legend of Hell House

 

[offmenut]

The Stangers is probably the only fillum ive actually jumped at

The bit where they're in the kitchen and you see the fella with the mask staring in the window haven't seen strangers 2 mind

The Strangers
Eden Lake (probably not horror mind)

Thought The Strangers was awful but I agree with Eden Lake.
