What are the scariest horror movies? (lemmy.world)

I love horror but apparently I don't vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I'd seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn't find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn't the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn't like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

Horror movies don't scare me, but Hereditary was the one movie that made me come close to experiencing genuine fear from watching a movie.

Meh. Towards the end I was laughing at the Spiderman bit. Hilarious.

The movie started insanely strong but fell off just as hard, at the halfway point at the latest it was just bad

When people say this they're just talking about the one single moment in the first half of the film, right? The rest of the movie was interesting but idk about scary.

You mean after like 15 minutes?

[–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, trying to keep it vague and I also only saw the movie once near release.

Tell me about it. Horror movies are such a snoozefest but Hereditary gave me the creeps.
