Alien checking in as the best classic horror movie.
>>17779813
Fuck, not dropbox. Just a list of reccomended movies.
A rough list of my all-time faves (though I might miss one here or there) include:
The Thing.
Rec.
VHS1.
The Orphanage.
The Babadook.
Alien.
10 Cloverfield Lane (yes, the ending is retarded, but it's basically a good psychological thriller with horror elements if you just stop it 10 minutes before the ending).
Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer.
Mulholland Drive (IDK if it's really horror but it's /x/-ish and pretty unsettling).
The Ring.
> I'll also tell you some horror movies that people say are good but aren't
It follows. It has like one good scene, where the tall guy walks in through the door, it's totally un-scary other than that.
The Witch. It's a good movie in certain respects but the scare factor is so low I can't recommend it to a horror fan. The ending is also a joke.
Anything before 1970. The fact is, horror is part art, part science. The art of scaring people objectively improves with time, and the fact is, yesterday's scares usually suck. Occasionally you'll find some movies that are ahead of their time, like The Thing or Alien, but honestly, before 1970, there's nothing scary, period. I always roll my eyes when some fedora tries to unironically say Nosferatu is a good movie.
>>17780476
Werner Herzog's Nosferatu is pretty legit, though, desu senpai.
>>17780476
Youve got to let go and embrace the films unique style my friend. Only unintelligent casuals dislike the classic films of the horror genre, as it takes an aethistic uncompromised mind to appreciate true art

P.S. vote bernie, his breakout role as nosferatu grants him the cool factor to be prez *tips*
Hellraiser
Wolf Creek
Creepshow
[spoiler]I liked The Boy[/spoiler]
Insidious, man that movies good
It Follows
The easiest answer...
The original versions of every single shitty reboot/remake in the last 20 years.
>>17780476
>The Witch and It Follows suck
>Old horror sucks
>The Ring and Babadook are good
That's one way to have your opinion immediately discarded.

>>17779813
Lets see, friday the 13th, scream 1,2,3,4, a nightmare on elm street, child's play 1, 2 and (3 was alright not good), then there's also nosferatu vampyre of the night, halloween and the original Dracula. These are all good movies.
>>17781898
The Boy was pretty good desu
One of my friends has seen and loved Rec, The Woman in Black, all that sort of scary film. He loved Woman in Black because of how it built up tension and had some scenes that were pants-shittingly scary for him.
Are there any films that are similar in terms of feel?
So OP has been watching this documentary called "The Nightmare" on netflix and its about sleep paralysis. I've been interested in sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming. The documentary i assume hollywoods the actual experiences.
So, what are your experiences in sleep paralysis, how does it get triggered? Or how could you induce lucid dreaming the most efficient way? General dream thread.

>>17780476
I trust your opinion.
Babadook, It follows and The Witch are the 3 big modern horror movies everyone on /tv/ talks about yet Babadook (the only good one out of the three) gets the most hate. Also The Thing is your first choice, which is the greatest horror movie other than The Shining.
>>17780476
If movies actually scare you, I dunno, you're either five, or a complete nervous wreck. Film simply is not well suited for much more than cheap jump scares, and gore (which is meant to disgust, rather than scare anyway). There are a few (very few, and debatable at that) exceptions, but if you want scary, read a book. A movie will never be able to get under your skin, and fuck with your head like a book can.
No, Nosferatu was not scary. What it was was atmospheric as fuck, and very creepy. The special effects were completely amazing considering that Murnau was basically pioneering the very concept of special effects as he went. Not just with Nosferatu, but Faust as well. Both films have effects that people still can't figure out, and reproduce, all these years later.
>>17783328
I really despise Rosemary's Baby. It's like 2 hours of an always annoying Mia Farrow attempting, and failing to avoid elderly people. It's one of the most overrated movies I can think of. The Omen was just so much better.
I guess it doesn't really count as horror but both House of 1000 corpses and The devils rejects are fucking superb movies
>>17783403
I miss mom and pop video stores. Sure, new releases were often very hard to get for months after they were released, but there was just something magical about those places, and as long as it didn't come from behind the beaded curtain, they generally didn't give a shit what kids rented. They seemed to have a much better selection of older titles too than Blockbuster. I mean blockbuster had more titles overall, but far less hidden gems. Movie Gallery did come somewhat closer to recapturing that mom and pop feel than Blockbuster though.
>>17783392
It's good for movie night with a girlfriend. The only thing I seem to remember about watching it was that me and my girlfriend turned it off about halfway in and made a dash for the bed. There were lots of chick-horror movies that ended like that.
I will say though, she wasn't squeamish about horror movies. She liked stuff like that, but she also didn't mind watching shit like the August Underground movies either.
>>17783743
Ahh yeah, the curtain. Another thing kids take for granted, access to porn.
Watched Hush recently.
It's a pretty decent film. The concept of having the protagonist be deaf was really nice, and made the scenes really tense.

The Boy, Hush, Babadook... from the recent horror movies Ive watched, those were very good. I think it was partly because I had very low expectation for them, since they have cliche premises... which means they are good movies to watch NOW. People are starting to think outside the box and you can see it in those movies. I'm excited for the future of horror movies. But if thats true, those movies can lose their charm as time pass by, like happened to, say, Amityville.
Hush knew how to build tension and had a very empathetic main character, while The Boy had some very good plot twists. Babadook is highly psychological and as such, a hit-or-miss, and the only one between those three with potential to be a "classic", I think.

This girl I like wants to watch a horror movie with me. What's one that's either terrifying or full of jump scares?
I just bought the conjuring on Blu-ray for $1,is it good?
>>17785421
It was well worth a watch in theaters, so I think it's worth a buck on Blu-Ray. James Wan has been the modern master of horror since 2002, which is both a good and a bad thing. I really hate the Saw franchise, but his other work has been pretty good.
>>17785224
The Conjuring.
>>17784689
Creepshow 2 is really good, but if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and watch the first one.
Also check out the old Tales from the Darkside tv show. Originally Romero was trying to get a Creepshow TV series going. It never officially happened, due to legal concerns surrounding ownership of the franchise. According to Tom Savini though it very much should be considered to be Creepshow: The Series. It came directly as a result of the effort to make that series, and pretty much all the talent behind Creepshow contributed to Tales From The Darkside at some point or another, over the course of it's run.
It is a little different though. The stories are still heavily inspired by the old EC Comics, just as Creepshow was. Unlike Creepshow though, it doesn't feature the comic-book panels and artwork, or any sort of mascot/host. Also the gore had to be toned way down since it was a syndicated television show. Tales From Crypt was more like Creepshow in that sense, and it's very much worth checking out too. In fact it's very hard for me to say which was the better of the two, because both were great.

I'm not that dude, but Babadook would have been fucking great if it SPOILER ALERT didn't turn out to all be fucking fake. It was The Village all over again. Awesome weird horror movie completely and savagely ruined by a "plot twist" where everything scary is revealed to be fake.

Tales from the Darkside movie was decent. Also check out Cat's Eye from Steven King.
i'll whole-heatedly recommend this one, takes off with a good movie concept to begin with, and then uses it to make a really good horror movie.
Another recommendation would be "The Den" 2013, which to put it simply is Unfollowed but done correctly.

>>17788058
Yes, I like both of those too. Cat's Eye was one of those I kind of grew up with. Well I guess Creepshow, and Tales From the Darkside were too.
I was in my teens when Tales From the Crypt came out, but I was hooked immediately. I'd read some of the old comics before that, and really loved them. I thought the show really did them justice too. I enjoyed Demon Night quite a lot, and Bordello of Blood, while not really that good, was still kind of entertaining. I wish HBO would bring the series back.
Ray Bradbury Theater and Monsters were pretty cool too. I've always been a big fan of Bradbury, and really that show was what got me into reading his work later on. He's probably one of my favorite authors.
>>17781898
I was really disappointed, the first half was really good but I feel like the second half shit the bed. Would have been so much better if they left it up to the viewer to decide if she was going insane or not.
Worth seeing /x/?
>>17787194
>The novel ghoul by Brian Keene was much better though not by a whole lot more.
I'd meant to check that out, I just haven't had much time to read in quite a while now. So it's not very good? From what I've seen of Keene's work, I like him.
Have you read The Rising? It was pretty damn entertaining. As done to death as zombies have become in the last few years, you hardly ever see any Return of the Living Dead style zombies. Which is a shame too, because they are really fun. The Rising though used that type of zombies combined with the Evil Dead (and the gut-wrenching brutality of Fulci too), and I found it to be a really enjoyable change of pace.
The sequel wasn't bad (not as awesome either), but the ending really blew. It was a total fucking cop-out. I kind of knew something like it was coming though, because it's apparent that Keene kind of wrote himself into a corner early on. There's also a third one, that an anthology of short stories taking place during the initial outbreak, and it is pretty good. I highly recommend the series to anyone who likes zombies.
>>17788088
The Internet has made far more titles easily available though. Especially more obscure and rare stuff. So it's not all bad, but yea, I do know what you are saying.

Start from the middle. Pick a sub genre/type, choose vintage (black dot, made pre-1990) or modern (white dot, post 1990), then pick in English (black box) or Foreign (white box).
assuming that wasn't bait...
>>17785979
I have, I didn't feel like it compared to the second one, honestly.
Also, I've watched all episodes of Tales from the Darkside. Tales from the Crypt seemed somewhat lame and I did not seem to enjoy it but a few tales. I couldn't take it as seriously. For now, I'm going to watch all of Monsters (1988).
Somewhat off-tangent but I enjoy some shows with ghost documentaries such as Paranormal Witness, My Haunted House, and Haunting. Even if some of them seem lame.
Also, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is pretty cool despite only one source (Robert Tralins) is used for the true stories.
i saw "drag me to hell" last night and it was pretty good. Comedy horror but well made. Same director from evil dead.

One of the few movies from Spain that I actually enjoy. I saw it the first time in school if I recall correctly. A teacher brought it up.
>>17788780
I mean if you like Keene's other work youll probably like Ghoul. I read alot of his other stuff, Dark Hollow, Earthworm Gods, Urban Gothic, The Rising, The Cage, Darkness On the Edge of Town, and alot more. They all seem to have an interesting premise, just always somehow manage to fall short of my expectations. Ghoul isnt a very long read, but its okay. Something different.
I prefer Laymon, Ketchum, Barker, Morell(who isnt really horror author but has some damn good suspensful short stories) and Lovecraft

This fucking line of thought is what's killing the genre.
Horror movies don't always need to be 'scary' to be a good horror movie. Not every horror movie is there to make you jump, and judging a movie's quality by if it 'scared' you or not completely ignores all the other aspects.

You can say old movies are good but are they scary? nah haha the exorcist was scary when it came out but would that scare anyone from this generation? noooope
>>17787781
How was it fake, though? If I remember it well, [SPOILERS] It was open for interpretation either it was only her getting insane and then learning to live with it (which isn't "fake" at all. Not being able to tell if something is real is scary af imo) or if she actually tamed and fucking domesticated some sort of demon that gets its strenght from desbelief+negative emotions.
But as I said, it'd a hit or miss. Doesn't make the movie bad, just means it's not for everyone

The Possession of Michael King might be worth a watch.
It's not an amazing film, but it's decent and has an interesting concept + religious theme.

It's not really a possession or exorcism flick but if unorthodox religion and young-girl-as-ostrasized-victim floats your boat, you might check out Jug Face. Doesn't quite get to where it sets off for but some nice indie spooks and decent acting en route.

Carpenter's version is the only reason you ever knew that the original existed. I prefer the original too I think, but it's doesn't detract from it in any way to give Carpenter his fucking due.
The same goes for Mystery At the Wax Museum/House of Wax. The remake was great, and so was the original. There's nothing at all wrong with liking, and enjoying both.
With all the shitty remakes that get made these days, it would be nice to see more of them strive to be good/great films like the Thing, and House of Wax.

Loved it
>Occult
By the guy who did Noroi. Great except (like in my previous post) for the last minute. As long as you can get past that you might enjoy it.
>Shirome
Also by the Noroi guy but nowhere near as good. That said, I still enjoyed it a lot.
>The Conspiracy
Saw this the other day and really liked it. Some complain about the ending but thats because it could have a couple interpretations I think.
>Blair Witch
Overhyped but still good. I only saw it this year and thought it was pretty neat.

Not really horror but I highly recommend this. It's really funny.
>Grave Encounters
Kinda goofy but I really liked it. They made a sequel which was just OK.
>the Bay (personal note: HORRIBLE)
Like others said, really good.
>The Last Exorcism
Really good.
>Apollo 18
Silly but worth a watch imo
>Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
Quirky half-comedy half-horror. Not really scary but its a lot of fun. Ton of horror cliches.
>The Sacrament
It was OK. It follows the Jonestowns stuff a bit too much to be scary.
>Cloverfield
Fun action movie.
I know I've seen a lot more so if I think them I'll add. I'm always open to suggestions myself!

Well, the way the anon made his point is pretty rude, but it is true that the so-called "found footage genre" has produced a huge pile of absolute garbage that has arguably been a detriment to the overall quality of horror films produced in the past decade.

If movies with characters suffering from hallucinations and paranoia (possible schizophrenia) is a thing you like in scary movies. Try Take Shelter. It's so good.

My grandpa was a WW2 vet, and I also used to play FFXI. I don't particularly care for the Japs. They are fucking assholes, and unapologetic savages, who barely got a slap on the wrist for the atrocities and shit they committed. Two A-bombs were not nearly enough.
I generally respect and admire other Asian cultures and people though. The Japs treat Westerners like shit, and they treat other Asians as less than shit.

I couldn't get over it. That ending reaching fucking unfathomable levels of just awful. Ruined the whole film for me. It just amazed me that multiple people watched that part and nobody said "Hey, does anyone else realize that this is fucking terrible? Let's not include this in the movie, because ruining the audience's suspension of disbelief with the single worst scene in Japanese cinematic history is probably not a good idea." Fuck that movie.

Im not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet (I can't ctrl-f on my phone) but the new scream tv show on netflix is actually really good. The mystery of the show keeps you interested and even though they ditched the iconic mask, I think it was for the better. They do keep the iconic archetypes of the traditional campy movie (nerd, goth, slut, jock, nice girl). That being said they do so in a very good way, and even acknowledge that they are doing it. Another thing is the use of the 'nerd' character explaining the ideas of the show, I very much liked this and it was in no way overdone. The show focuses on cyberstalking/bullying and also has a good subplot which I won't spoil here, that keeps making you ask even more questions. The one thing I didn't like is the teenage culture they had, it seems disconnected like the writers observed their children for a day and went off of their interpretation with added "teenage" buzzwords. The second season is updated weekly on netflix and I recommend it.

Started watching VHS recently, thought it was pretty crappy. I stopped after the witch-succubus part.
Might not be popular to say, but The Blair Witch Project is still a fantastic horror movie. A masterpiece even. There's a reason it's as famous as it is - it's an extremely well done story, AND a well done horror-film.
I recently watched Lake Mungo, which is probably the most frightening thing I've seen in my life. I'd be extremely impressed if I find something more horrifying. I recommended the film to a Russian guy I work with, and he too said it was frightening as hell. It reveals almost nothing about what's really going on, but still manages to offer a satisfying conclusion (it's like The Blair Witch Project in that respect).
Jacob's Ladder used to be my most frightening movie, but I don't know if I still feel that way about it. I'd have to re-watch it to confirm.
I recently watched Noroi, a Japanese horror film that was recommended by people who enjoyed Lake Mungo. I was expecting a lot from this film. But holy shit was it bonkers. There was nothing frightening about it. Crazy tin-foil hat man was so over the top that it was laughable. The film had a few promising moments, but they all fall flat. And then, at the end, it goes full autist and explains the whole back story of the "demon" that's causing the paranormal events. Essentially an old Japanese demon got mad because the Japanese government decided to build a dam, and the damn was going to flood some place where people made offerings to it. What the fuck.
Watch Lake Mungo.

>>17796402
>It Follows
good soundtrack. i wish it had been a better film.
>Torso 10/10
why do people do this? this was nothing more than a cheaply dubbed italian made B movie with a plot taken from a made-for-tv murder mystery with a couple of scenes of tits with bright red paint splashed across the screen. Completely boring piece of shit. i challenge anyone to survive the hour and a half of shear boredom created by this movie.
while on the topic of italian horror movies, i've never understood why there was so much hype about these mostly B movies. i've seen all of Dario Argento's films and there are only maybe two or three of them that even rise above 5/10 level. Suspira is no doubt his very best film and even that one doesn't have a coherent plot and survives only on visual style and set pieces. lots of scenes shot with garish lighting and poor camera work. the soundtrack and other aspects of the film are effective for reasons that are unintentional. the dubbed voices, foley sounds, and the distorted (recording levels too high) soundtrack by Goblin give the film an eerie, otherworldly quality that was nothing more than a happy accident resulting from poor craftsmanship.
is there something i'm missing? i wouldn't mind being proven wrong.
>>17796024
Um...your point being? That's not horror, that's drama.
>>17795707
You're a narrow minded lobotomised child.
I'll give you an example, Hellraiser. Without a doubt it's a horror movie, and a good one at that. The special effects are top notch, the actors deliver great performances, but was it scary? Did it scare you? The answer to anyone over the age of five should be; no not really. But it wasn't really the movie's goal to make you jump out of your seat, or have you scared to sleep with the lights off that night.
It's still a good movie, and has plenty of merits besides "scaring" you. The genre of horror encompasses so much more than just making you jump out of your seat, or unnerving you.
Judging a horror movie on the criteria of 'did it scare you' is retarded because it's so subjective. Certain people are going to have higher tolerances, and there's plenty of shitty movies that rely on just making you jump. And there will always be that one asshole, who no matter what horror movie you bring up they'll always say "well it didn't scare me!".
And that's what's killing the horror genre. Because good atmospheric horror movies, that aren't necessarily scary, get overlooked of the cheap thrills and predictable jump scares that trick their idiotic audience into saying "well I flinched so I guess it's a good horror movie".

Good point about Argento. However, I still like Fulci's crazy ass movies. They also lack cohesive plots, shitty dubbing, and poor camera work. But, they are wild and disorienting and brutal. Worth experiencing.

It was pretty good. I'd probably give it a 7/10.
If you liked Lake Mungo, you'll probably like the Smiley Face Killer documentary--but SERIOUSLY do not read anything about this before seeing it.

I know this is a common criticism but it's really mostly them arguing and doesn't do a very good job with atmosphere or suspense. And I don't know, maybe it's just me disliking found footage movies but non diegetic sound can make a horror movie much better and the style doesn't include that, meaning the movie is much less engaging. To tell you the truth I haven't seen it in a while but I remember being astounded that the Blair Witch Project was so critically acclaimed when it was so mediocre.

Like the orphanage, where SPOILERS nothing supernatural at all happened and it was a woman just freaking out cause her son was missing (and died)? It almost seems similar but the orphanage is fucking awsome, it's about execution not the fundamentals of the plot twist itself
I actually really liked The Signal(2007) because the camera work was great and it has some crazy as hell scenes. The ending is pretty stupid but if you wanna see some anarchy, gore, and dark humor in the same vein as The Evil Dead then go for it.

Just letting you know, this is a 90% legit documentary. The shit about the director being killed, let alone missing, is fake. It's a shame, because all the stuff they cover is real (regardless of whether these deaths were murder or not), and to profiteer off of it for shock value is deplorable, IMO.
