Mine are:
Event Horizon.
Why?
Beacuse the evil swirly torture tunnel of death that leads to the heart of darkness has handrails.
• リング ( The Ring ) ( recently watched for the first time a few years back and it was pretty good )
• Get Out ( that's a movie that has stuck with me since seeing it in theater )
• Us ( the 2019 film ) ( same deal as get out, except at home instead of theater )
• Coraline ( I know it's children's horror, but it is still pretty disturbing, IMO, even as an adult )
• Perfect Blue ( my first time watching it messed with my head with how they played with sense of time and what's real vs fake )
The Carbin in the woods (2012)
I will have to watch that
No "Get out"?
Get Out is solid and a creative example of turning a relateable real-world uncomfortable situation into supernatural horror. Its story is simple, which is a virtue (especially for a first movie), but imho that means it got too easily turned into just a commentary on "race relations."
Nope, on the other hand, has a lot going on, including about family, media, human care of animals, the dying vs the idealized west, and struggling with grief. It stands up to multiple watches. It's grim, scary, realistic yet absurd, and sometimes just really funny.
So it's not that Get Out is bad, it's just that Nope is so much better, an example of Jordan Peele growing as a writer/director.
A solid answer.
4/4 all bangers
I will look these up. They sound awesome.
"[Rec]" is the best zombie movie I've seen.
Event Horizon - i had it on VHS back then, and the tape was starting to degrade at the start of the movie because we watched it so much
Do you remember BlockBusters? Yes, I am showing my age. 😭😭😭
There were no BlockBusters in Austria, or at least they weren't as prevalent as in the US, and i never rented VHS (most of my movies were pirated back then). But i was renting quite the amount of DVDs between my 20s and 30s.
Haell, I remember renting gamecube games from our local blockbusters. Just the games and not much of the store, though.
The Thing! The original, not the prequel (although I wouldn't call that one bad). A close second would have to be The Descent.
I have seen this one mentioned a lot, I will for sure look into this one. Seems like many love it.
I've got a thing for found footage and existential dread.
It (both versions for very different reasons)
The Shining (Though the book will always be way better)
The Thing
Alien
Event Horizon(Satisfied my space itch for a long time until I discovered The Expanse)
Blair Witch Project
Paranormal Activity (1 & 2, before they threw in all the weird cult shit)
[REC] (The first... Maybe the second. 3 jumped the shark)
V.H.S. (Fun, random horror collections, just don't think too hard about how vhs tapes and video recorders actually work, they definitely didn't.)
I'll try my hand at an all Asian list, I think they do horror in a different, more uncomfortable, way:
I'd add Kingdom(2019) as another different take on zombies, this is a TV show though.
There's so much more to explore in Asian filmography, just search for best Asian horror movies and you won't be disappointed.
Oh this is a fun list.
“The Wailing” was my favorite that I’ve seen recently. Can’t really articulate why but I just found it extremely engrossing start to finish
The Wailing is a really good choice!
I will look this one up too. Right when you think you have seen many horror movies, there are more around the corner you missed.
I really love the goofiness of Happy Death Day. Good slasher without taking itself too seriously. Sleepaway Camp 1 and 2. I think the Autopsy of Jane Doe has just the right amount of terror for me. I watch it every October. Same with Trick 'R Treat, I never miss that one.
Hokum was the most recent one that really captured me. A lot of people missed it but I think it's absolutely worth a watch. Good Halloween vibes. Oh, and Undertone was scary as shit.
That sounds like an amazing collection. I will admit, slashers are my favorite genre.
In no particular order:
Obsession was amazing, that actress is going places
I will look into these. The Witch sounds interesting.
Some more I didn't see mentioned yet
Underwater - probably closest thing to soma movie No one will save you - zero dialog movie
Talk To Me (2022) is one that I found particularily scary. Send Help is the latest Sam Raimi film and is a lot of fun, with his signature zany style. Hokum was great, too, starring Adam Scott playing a likeable asshole. These aren't necessarily my favorites, just ones that come to mind that I've seen recently. I watch a lot of horror.
Those sound like a lot of fun to watch.
Evil Dead 2
I feel like I have seen the trailer for this, maybe even watched it, but will have to recheck this one.
The Mummy was such a great movie. I will look into Tremors. Great list.
Favourite would be ones I can watch over and over, like Evil Dead 2, Planet Terror, Drag Me To Hell and The Substance
There's a few I've seen which stuck with me in a different way though, like Eden Lake, Martyrs and The Sadness. Not in a hurry to rewatch, but still memorable.
Interesting list, the Drag me to Hell looks interesting.
Nosferatu — any of them

Caveat (2020)
or Loop Track (2023)
oh man i almost forgot my actual favourite: Event Horizon (1997)
These sound very fun. Loop Track is on the list to look into.
it is excellent, imo, I'd recommend going in blind
Ginger Snaps, and Ginger Snaps 2.
Love those names. Will look into this. I am getting a Christmas theme here.
Not Christmas movies.
One of the characters is named Ginger. They're more werewolf movies.
That is interesting. I honestly wouldn't have gathered that based on the name alone.
There are actually a bunch of movies in the "series". But I think only the first two have real continuity, but they all star the same two actresses.
Edit: Looked it up, and it's three movies. One is a prequel.
Never saw the third.
In this /c/, we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song!
All year round!
