if there are any horror nerds out here

for me: return of the living dead (1985), scream (1996), lake mungo (2008), blackcoat's daughter (2015), the evil dead (1981)

not much good horror over the past couple years at least to my taste, but i really liked the passenger from last year. but it's more of a thriller.

I can't say I have a top 5 as my list is constantly changing, but I will say that some of the best ones I have seen in the last 5-10 years are Hereditary, It Follows, The Witch, Coherence (though not technically horror, but slightly horrifying nonetheless), and Midsommar.

 

[cernunnos787]

those are some refined picks, coherence is fucking awesome. resolution is a good one which isn't too similar but it shares that lower budget mindfuck horror-weirdness. it follows is incredible, i think it didn't have a strong ending and that's the only reason it's not a veritable classic

 

[Fauxcest]

I can't think of five, but The VVitch is the one for me. Black Phillip and that scene "Wouldst thou like to live deliciously?" are things I never forget. And as a whole it's a great picture

Coherence messed with me for a long time after watching it, so few movies have made me reflect so deeply. I can't believe I didn't mention Resolution, it was SO good! Have you seen Mr Jones? Based on your tastes it sounds like something up your alley...

1. The Shining (1980)
2. Omen (1976)
3. The Mist (2007)
4. The Others (2001)
5. Ringu (1998)

haha yes i've seen this, i don't remember much about it but i remember it had that weird-dreamy thing.

for what it's worth, if you come across a recent found footage arthouse horror called the outwaters, don't watch it. my goodness what meandering garbage

Haha good to know! If you like found footage, have you seen REC?

 

[c23568]

I love some of the ambience of the older films. Like Event Horizon. Rewatching it recently it doesnt hold up to the times but it can kind of be funny in a bad way.

 

[cernunnos787]

Haha good to know! If you like found footage, have you seen REC?

ofc! if i extended my top 5 out to 10 or 15 i'm sure REC would be there. found footage is maybe-probably my favorite horror subgenre, although 80s cheese stuff like the blob 1988 and night of the demons are fun too.

really underrated found footage that i've seen like 5 times: BUTTERFLY KISSES. so good.

 

[burner4]

I've never been a big horror buff but I want to get into it! Gonna lurk here for recommendations lmao

Omg Peeping Tom yo! Oh yeah, that one is goooood

 

[kaizerlith]

More a fan of horror comedy type of films. So the later Friday the 13th films, 6 Jason Lives in particular. Also stuff like Tremors, which is more comedy, and Malignant.

 

[cernunnos787]

i saw peeping tom not too long ago but i remember feeling kind of underwhelmed over it. but maybe i was just tired. i can appreciate it was revolutionary in some ways

Tremors will ALWAYS live in my heart, I cannot even tell you how many times I watched that when it came out!

Oh no I meant the subject of the footage in Butterfly Kisses haha

 

[cernunnos787]

oh yuh lmao. 1960 peeping tom is like the first "found footage" film, i was thinking of that. it's ok.... i think it didn't age as well as some of the other early classics like rosemarys baby/psycho

 

[JadedSkywalker]

Not a big fan but Return of the Living Dead, The original Night of the Living Dead. Evil dead 1 and 2. Day of the Dead Romero. Dawn of the Dead.
