Spec me horror film

Watched The Witch recently which I really enjoyed. A little slow to start, but turned out very good.

My favourites are ones like The Conjuring, Insidious (first one), Annabelle, The Babadook.

Any suggestions for another?!

Not very similar to the ones you mention but two horrors I watched recently that I enjoyed were Exists and Martyrs.

Sinister

What We Do in the Shadows.

Mama is very similar in tone to the films you've mentioned. The Orphanage, Orphan, Session 9, Frailty, Sinister, Switchblade Romance and Inside should also fit the bill.

As above Martyrs is a very good film but somewhat more extreme and different in tone. Make sure you watch the original French film, not the abortion of a remake.

Anyone who likes ghost films should watch this. I think it's really good. There was something about it that really chilled me to the bone when I first watched it. The IMDB reviews prove that it's very popular.

The Grudge

'It Follows' was much better than I thought it would be.

I'm too much of a scaredy cat for horrow movies. Not so much while I'm watching them, more my imagination afterwards! It's been a long time since I watched a 'good' one and keep flirting with the idea so on someone's recommendation I watched the Lights Out short on youtube...

NOPE! :eek:

I was ok with those, it's ghosts/unseen things that freak me out.

Same here, un-seen/demon/posession type stuff is what I'm after in a properly scary film. I don't find zombie stuff scary at all really, just makes for good watching. 28 Days Later is one of my favourite films though

Thanks for the suggestions all, I'll have a watch.

The Orphanage

Unless you can't handle subtitles.

Craig321 · 8 May 2016 at 16:54

Nope, subtitles are fine if the film is worth it. Watched that one a while back, really enjoyed as well

Edit: actually, that's different to the one I was thinking of. Looks good!

Scary movie

Craig321 · 8 May 2016 at 17:33

think it's the 2nd one that's my favourite of those

Grimley · 8 May 2016 at 20:13

Old school here - Nightmare on Elm Street. Stay away from the sequels & the remake though.

jsmoke · 8 May 2016 at 20:25

I think kill list is a horror.
