Can user suggest some must-see horror movies?

I'm a huge Carpenter fan, so body horror, digusting things, etc. are very appreciated.

I also enjoy spooky japanese horror, apart from Ju-On, I really liked Noroi and Uzumaki.

No jumpscare shit pls, I trust you user

doom

That's not a good movie

Real life.
It scares me shitless.

I saw The Exorcist recently, and I think it still holds up. Not much jumpscares, just genuine discomfort and intensity. Great acting and some gorgeous shots as well. Theatrical release.

The Grifter

Look up "David Cronenberg"

Any suggestions from him? I've only seen The Fly and it's the only thing I know him for

You should see Scanners and Videodrome just to see them, some creepy canuck shit right there. Also if you haven't seen

The Ring
Phantasm
The Shining
Exorcist 3
In the Army Now

Dario Argento and Lucio Fulci?

Nightcrawler

Not that user, but Naked Lunch is good and disgusting. It isn't horror though. It's just something else entirely. Love it all the same.

Also Friday the 13th and Halloween are absolute musts, but I'm sure you've already seen them. Who hasn't?

Hellraiser 1 and 2
Necronomicon

It's completely gore-free but Peeping Tom is an absolute masterpiece

Definitely these

This is the base of horror movies, along with Dr. Caligari

Is Nosferatu even scary today?

...

Okay so, Necronomicon sucked dick, but I have yet to watch Hellraiser.


Watched Videodrome and that shit was fucking disturbing, fucking great movie


Downloaded


Seen em


Downloaded it


Will do

reaffirming what the other guys said, cronenber is literally THE body horror guy, I could be wrong but I thought the term originated to describe the stuff he did. Every movie he directs contains at least one scene of disgusting weirdness happening to a body; it's his hallmark

Sit down knowing that you're definitely not about to watch a normal film and watch Videodrome. Hate it or like it, there's nothing like it and it is hell of body horror. Shivers is also vintage C-berg but is less body-horror

pic related is my favorite horror movie of all time. God tier soundtrack, looks good and is well acted, and the premise is very simple but pretty terrifying and by nature it cannot have any jumpscares.

If you want to go into it completely blind don't look at these spoilers, but they aren't anything big anyways: the gimmick is that there is a thing that follows one person at a time at a constant walking pace that looks like a regular human (and can change), and you can make it stop following you by having sex with someone so it follows them instead. If it gets to you, it kills you. This sets up really nice scenes constantly because all you need is just characters in a regular situation with someone in the distance walking towards them that is out of focus. My favorite scene is the protagonist sitting in a normal classroom in the middle of the day with a lesson going on, and outisde the window you can see a person very far away walking towards the camera and it's terrifying because of how normal the scene should be

I've seen it, it is pretty amazing

the movie no

the monster is hideous and so is naturally frightening.

Event Horizon
Virus (1999)

Both pics.
The second one is the weaker of the two.

most underrated sci-fi/horror movie ever tbqfh

Yeah it is, Virus itself isn't anything special but the monster design is fucking great.

...

wojak?

Not really horror per se but beyond the black rainbow is excellent.

watch Slither. i saw it for the first time a month ago and it was surprisingly good.

The Re-Animator-series.

Also The Thing if you haven't seen that one.

It gets a lot of hate for some reason but I thought it was incredible. Very stylistic and atmospheric.

shivers, rabid, the brood are early stuff worth seeing, although the effects in the brood have aged like milk
dead ringers and crash are very good

invasion of the body snatchers (1978)
repulsion
possession (1981) is a classic that not enough people know
the wicker man
early romeroshit is worth seeing, like the first three
I've found hammer horror boring and lacking in subtext, the only one I've really liked so far is Dracula AD 1972

Men Behind The Sun.

the descent
under the skin
PI movie (dont think is really horror but oh well)
anything by david lynch except dune (not horror but disturbing)

No one has said Evil Dead 2 the epitome of the horror genre.
Plebs the lot of you.

Creep
Outpost
28 Days later
Dream Catcher
Wolf Creek
Jacobs ladder
AntiChrist
VHS 2012 are all good too.

Evil Dead isn't horror though, it's action with gore

I think Evil Dead goes without saying for most people. If you have any interest in horror, it's safe to assume you've already seen and loved it.

Shit, I was just about to make a horror movie thread.

Since you're a Carpenter fan I'm sure you've seen The Thing, that's one I always recommend however.

Jacob's Ladder is great, Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I really enjoyed Hellraiser 2, felt like much more of a horror film than the first (see that one too, though).

Ohhh man! Videodrome! I forgot about that one! I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and loved it. Great stuff.

I've been meaning to check out Scanners at some point. Anyone recommend it?

I raise you a Philosophy of a Knife

Oh, and since I'm on the topic I'd like to recommend pretty much anything from Andrey Iskanov; Nails, Philosophy of a Knife, Visions of Suffering, etc. He's a Russian horror director that makes surreal horror stuff.

This one is great

absolutely. take this survey about it

poal.me/mztn2u

Army of Darkness yes, the first two no way fam.

They have a creepy start, I'll give you that, but as soon as the demon appear it's just gore and action smh

i see what you did there

"I'm a huge Carpenter fan"

Evil Dead 2 starts off like horror, but quickly winds up in comedy territory.
Don't get me wrong, it's still a fantastic movie and should be seen by everyone, but overall it it doesn't even approach the term horrifying after the first 20 minutes.
The first one actually tries to maintain the spooky atmosphere throughout the movie and does an okay job at it.

Like people have said: Videodrome, Scanners, Naked Lunch but also Crash (not the racism one) and eXistenZ.

Hellraiser 1 is really good and so is 2 iirc.

Leprachaun 1/2 are fun to watch as is Pumpkinhead 1.

Dead Silence was pretty creepy. The Tales from Darkside shows were enjoyable and creepy at times. Childsplay 2-3 were probably the best of the series. Bordello of Blood and Demon Night were enjoyable watches. Woman in Black 1 was a tad terrifying if you go in blind. The Romero zombie movies are largely excellent. Return of the Living Dead 1 and 2 were amazing and very gory.

Reanimator and Frighteners are both very enjoyable to watch.

The Jenifer Aniston one?
wut

scanners isn't nearly as good as videodrome but you should still see it

...

I know it's been suggested already but Hellraiser is definitely a must watch if you dig body horror. Amazing effects that more than hold up today and still genuinely disturbs me. I'm sure you've seen The Fly also? If not please do, and if you like Goldblum and like more psychological horror Mister Frost is an interesting watch but some people don't seem to like it.

I watched it
Don't know, wasn't really my thing I guess, maybe I was just tired

are the hellraiser sequels any good
I mean I liked the creatures but the plot was rubbish

Not really. I love Hellraiser but this series a shit. If you want a better continuation, read the comics of some of Clive Barker's books.

Also, am I the only one who thinks Event Horizon takes place in the same world as Hellraiser? That the portal thing was a giant Lemarchand box and Sam Niel becomes a cenobite?

literally came here to post both of these

OP said he's a Carpenter fan so I kinda assumed he'd seen The Thing, but Re-Animator is a must

I'm watching Videodrome right now it's not scary I'm on 59:00.

I don't get this movie's popularity. Is this a meme?

Event Horizon very probably takes place in Warhammer universe. Any connection to the cenobites is purely coincidental.

The Gravity Drive is simply a Warp Drive, using one without a Gellar Field to protect the passengers is a very very bad idea. Even if your ship doesn't get flooded with nightmare abominations, the things that lurk in the warp will start whispering to you and we all saw how that turned out.

I want nerds to get out

I heard that this was just torture porn with a history lesson.

I want Holla Forums to leave.

Looks like we both won't be getting what we want.

Boring as fuck movie because the cast is boring. There is one good scene where the monster takes on that huge dudes form and comes out of the shadows in the doorway. Beyond that it's basically Boyhood.

What did I even say that was related to pol you goddamn whiny retard

If you're liking Cronenberg, his son made a great movie called Antiviral. Not really a horror, but some great visuals.

Also recommend movies by Shinya Tsukamoto. Haze is my favourite short movie.

Jesus you're a faggot.

Here's your guaranteed (you).

Nothing. I just thought we were both spouting off impossible fantasies.

You do realize that the vast majority of people that left for Holla Forums when moot was being a turbo faggot were from Holla Forums, Holla Forums and Holla Forumss waifu fags?

What the fuck did he ever say about Holla Forums, leave you fucking faggot.

Lest we not forget the Godfather of all 70's and 80's slasher films 1974's "Black Christmas" And IMO never equaled. Do not, I repeat. Do not watch the crappy remake.

I think scanners has aged incredibly well. it's so fucking 70s' it feels like it's shot on another planet.

The Hospital scene was pretty neat as was the intro, but Leprechaun 2 is a much better movie than the first.

I felt so bad for the old toymaker who lost his shit and dressed up as Santa. If I remember correctly, someone ended up assaulting his parents on Christmas or it may have been that he caught them having sex. Either way, he was naively innocent and it bit him in the ass hard. It was no wonder that he sought death towards the end and I think he ended up getting it when he flies off of that bridge.

Stalingrad. It's the only anti-war movie that had me fucking shaken.

Just watched Virus, it was fairly shit and had the always hideous Jaime Lee Curtis in it but the special effects were pretty cool and it was kinda entertaining.

People like it because there are very few horror movies that never rely on jump scares, gore, or an excessive amount of deaths to creep you out, and plenty of people are super creeped out by that movie even though it uses none of those.

Check out some Italian cinema from the 70s and 80s, they can be pretty disturbing.

I think you're thinking of Christmas Evil and you're right, it was sad. Black Christmas was about a sorority house that's being terrorized on Christmas.

I'm a Carpenter fan too, because of Halloween, one of the most tense movies I've seen. However, can we all agree that Escape from District 13 was shit?

If you don't mind horror on the cheesy side, these three are pretty enjoyable.


Man, that shit made me more sick to my stomach than Cannibal Holocaust could ever hope to.

I wasn't being ironic or baiting or some may may shit when I suggested it.

I find the movie incredibly uncomfortable and disturbing to watch.

You have this beautiful clean white 1950s American town. Perfect does not even begin to describe it. It is paradise on earth. No one questions anything because everything works as it is intended and it works very very well.

Then two jews get introduced into paradise by the actions of a capricious and arrogant god. And bit by bit paradise breaks under their influence. They don't even need to actively try to destroy it. Their very presence and demands that paradise conform to their selfish desires destroys White Utopia and leaves it a chaotic mess of degeneracy ready to be inflicted with niggers, drugs, and corruption.

I can't watch the movie sober. The moment color starts to appear I get a cold sweat and need a drink to calm down.

I JUST LOVE MOLDING YOUNG MINDS

This might technically be action instead of horror, but I don't care. Got it in one of those 8-movie horror collection things alongside your 2nd and 3rd.

Class of 1984 is also really solid.


I wasn't being ironic either and actually share your sentiments. I remember watching it when it first came out. At that time I was happily swallowing all the PC propaganda the schools were shoveling down our gullets, and even then the movie just didn't sit right with me. It always rubs me the wrong way when things depict picturesque 1950s towns as if they're backwards and uncivilized. It also pissed me off that they dragged poor Don Knotts into it.

don knotts was a huge womanizer fyi

Assault on Precinct 13

And no, it wasn't.

spics attack good people
nigger doesn't get the woman
white, blue collar man blasts spics
criminal nigger gets blown away by spics

so was Julius Caesar.

It has a lot of meaning squeezed into it, and the vampire looks so realistic, depite the movie being over 90 years old. It won't gonna scare you though…

Assault on Precinct 13 is easily in his top 3 movies.

your point? Julius Caesar was a shitty human being

I want Holla Forums to leave.

Faggots are gonna call me a faggot memer, but fuck 'em.

The Poughkeepsie Tapes.

Love it or hate it, but it's there. Didn't like them myself, but give them a try nonetheless.

hell if he is, those dirty barbarians deserved all the raping and looting they got. caesar dindu nuffin.

...

It is horror. It is pure existential dread that keeps mounting as the film progresses until you reach that not ending and are left hanging. No real resolution, only the certainty that nightmares yet undreamed await the people of Pleasantville.

fuckng a boyslave is hardly miscegenation

Stephen Kings 1979 "Salem's Lot", with the Nosferatu vampire in it.
As a kid I remember seeing that kid floating at the window, scratching the glass made me want to shit my pants.

I read that book when I was on a huge Stephen King nerd bender around 11 or 12, I pretty much teached myself to be afraid of the dark because of Salem's Lot

you obviously didnt teach yourself English.

He didn't need to. He was reading Stephan King.

Too shay!

Seriously dude, take a course or something. People learn English all the time, it arent that hard.

*take a course are something.

Touché

hello reddit

You know what? I am done. After spending a few weeks here I can easily say that all of are lacking of any wit or intelligence whatsoever. You all believe yourselves to be better than everyone else, and I can tell you right now, that that is not the case in the slightest, you pseudo-intellectuals. I am much better than all of you. Clearly I am because I am neither pretentious, long-winded, asinine, discourteous, nor are my tastes quite as bland as yours. No, I am quite concise, and I would never stretch beyond that of my means or what I am designated to.

I'd have to say that this board is full of anonymous lurkers, attackers, and trolls, who have nothing better to do than throw their elitist opinions around in an attempt at misguided show-boating with people they'd never ever meet.

None of you build any persona or stand by anything remotely attached that I can feel some sort of personal connection to. You lack any sort of direction and I can't have that. You're analogies are far too complicated, linear, and they're rather contradictory. Why, there's never even any variety here!

I give this image board, masquerading as a message board, a 1/10.

Now that I have said my piece I think I will go to Reddit. If the contrarians of this chan hate it so much it must be a far better place than I had previously imagined. Good day.

Ay! We're moving up!

2/10

Lamepasta. Only the egotism gives a slight believability.

Id replace hypercube with cube zero even though that one is more comedy/horror

As for Cronenberg I found The Brood to be his heaviest movie. Yeah I love Videodrome, Fly & his other stuff but The Brood is, in my opinion, his best merge of psychological themes with body horror used to emphasise those themes.It's widely know he did that one while divorcing his wife whom tried to take away their child and I think that personal touch is what makes The Brood stand out from his other work.

Don't accidently hit the back key twice user.

…what?

...

Overhyped. It was okay at first then it got boring.

The thing.

I don't know about easily (Carpenter's filmography is too good for anything about a top 3 to be easy), but it is a damn good movie.

...

I watched it after I heard that it was one of the greatest. I love horror so I checked it out but I was genuinely not impressed. All the horror you are getting out of this one is the girl walking like a spider and some other shitty jumpscares, the rest of the movie is spent with her sitting in bed and spitting colored slime at some guy.

I know I'm oversimplifying but I really think this movie is not that great.

Videodrome was the film I saw on the TV when I was 4 that scared me shitless, I forget the scene I just remember running upstairs from it. Thanks user ive been looking for it for years.
