The best horror is always whatever is realistic and could actually happen. Also, this movie is just devastating.

You people really need to see Berberian Sound Studio already. Best horror movie I've seen in years.

I work in a movie theater. Teens love it and say it's scary as hell. Everyone out of high school, though, has said it was drivel.

The Revenant. I can barely crawl my way to the supermarket when out of food, so couldn't imagine crawling across arctic tundra after being mauled by a bear and left for dead, and sober all the while.

Yes. Both the original and the American remake are both good.

Paranormal Activity

The Thing is a 10/10 horror but I'm sure everyone has seen it enough now that it isn't worth bringing up.

>>64938599
The American remake is my favorite horror movie. The original wasn't as scary.

which is better the Japanese version or the american?

No.

is wolf creak any good?

>>64938413
I haven't seen it since like Jr High, but I remember enjoying it. It was spooky enough to me at the time. It wasn't genre breaking, but it did enough differently that it felt fresh.
>>
>>64938713
the ring or the grudge?

Cant remember for the ring but I'd give a slight edge to the american version of the grudge. Japanese version is still plenty spooky
>>
>>64938640

Is this on any of the streaming sites, or am I gonna have to download it?

I'm a fucking pleb, but most scared I've ever been watching a movie, as an adult, was the original Black Christmas.

I was nine or ten when I saw Black Christmas, those voices on the phone messed me up.
At the moment, I'm going to go with Inside, it didn't scare me at the time, but thinking back on it the premise of someone wanting to cut your baby out of you just got under my skin

Don't listen to this pathetic excuse of a human being - >>64938691 - the Japanese version is far better executed. Relies mostly on psychological horror and the fear of the unseen, whereas the American remake goes for bargain-basement jump scares.

American Grudge and Ring is.
>>
>>64938413
just watched them both literally last week, neither the original or american remake are good films. the OP pic is literally the only slightly scary thing about the original, it's more of a mystery/thriller actually. the remake just went too far with the spooky shit but not in the right ways. dont waste your time.

horror is literally pleb: the genre.
Even the crème de la crème horror is still pretty fucking meh.

I gotta go with The Fly, The Thing and The Blob as the best horror films. These are the only non-pleb horror films I can think of.

Is Asian horror better than the western's? In my experience when the asian makes a horror movie they go all out with the spooky stuff whuke western's are mostly jump scares

You can't generalize like that, also it's highly subjective. Both have some gems. Pic related.

But the original asian horrors are always better than US remakes.

both the jap and english versions are good, they're very different films though, so its dumb to compare them IMO

most good horror movies are asian, but I think The Thing from 1982 is the best
>>
>>64938229
I think it depends on your phobias

I can take any demon, devil, monster horror and be unphased.

But make a horror about people going insane and I piss my pants.

Afraid maybe, but Candyman's Cabrini-Green setting is unique and makes it stand out. Gothic horror in an urban setting is pretty cool.

House at the end of time (La casa del fin de los tiempos) is the best horror movie I've seen in a while. Mainly because it's also a good drama.
>>
As above so below. Was a good movie.
>>
>>64938413
I saw it in like high school and it spooped me. Something about a little girl ghost thing you can do absolutely nothing against is really terrifying. I've only seen the English version, so the kind of thriller/mystery aspects and finally learning why this little girl wants to kill so many people is neat. I'd say watch it, it's not like you have anything else to do.

Fuck, now I have to download this one again and watch it. I was wondering what I was going to do to pass the time today. Just got done downloading Constantine and now this. I was going to go shoot muh guns, but that requires putting on a shirt and driving to the range...

Ringu is far far better than his american version.
Like Skin US, or Sherlock US...
A Japanese / British movie is always better than his american adaptation.
>>
>>64956305
Which genre would you prefer?
>>
Any horror films where a male has sex with a zombie, ghost, alien...
>>
>>64956673
>Ringu is far far better than his american version.
lol no amurrican version have that weird ass vibe that original dont
>>
Insidious 1 and 2 are good, haven't seen 3
has more of a story/universe to it

Pan's Labyrinth is good, I dunno if it's pure horror, more of a fantasy/drama with some creepy stuff

Ringu is certainly a hell of a lot more Japanese than 'The Ring'. Not for the better, though:

>>64956619
>suspiria

muh nigga

I'd probably go with something like

>Suspiria
>The Thing
>The Exorcist
>The Shining
>Alien
>Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer
>Audition
>Eyes Without A Face

Other ones worth checking out would be

>Onibaba
>The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
>Scream
>The Fly
>Eraserhead
>Martyrs

Probably a few that I'm forgetting. But yeah there's a pretty big gulf in quality between the two lists. Ahhh actually maybe I'd put Scream in the top list too - but I'm too lazy to edit my post so I'd rather just type out what I'm thinking.
