Hey all!
Over the last couple of nights, we have watched a few "scary films"
However, nothing that really makes us jump.. is this a thing of the past or have you got any decent recommendations?
Adam. 
P.s- Don't watch the witch.  |

I've noticed modern 'horror' isn't scary anymore. They follow the same formula, you can tell when the 'jump' moments are coming. It's all a bit predictable.
I'd love to know of some genuinely, jump out of your skin, scary movies. |

Sanatorium done my head in a bit, it lingered afterwards and I don't like that as I live alone! It was scary!
It's the paranormal investigators one not the sanitarium films (I haven't seen those) |

The witch was seriously crap ha ha. I don't understand how it has done so well on review sites.
It was so odd and not at all scary.
The goat thing was ridiculous, I thought the plot line was all over the place. The acting wasn't any better either.
I love a scary film and yet I hate them too. I'm such a wussy that I find myself being a little scared of the dark afterwards ha ha.
Anything paranormal related has me hiding under the quilt and looking for crazy ass demons on my roof.

"Recently watched 'the invitation', not really scary per se but still good ! "
 yeah this was pretty good...also 'The Visit' has a few 'jump' moments..also a few quite hilarious bits too. Bit slow to start but persevere. |

I really like Event Horizon. Oh and Babadook is also really good. And I enjoyed Mama as well.
I guess it depends on what sort of horror you're after? More a supernatural element with traditional scare tactics? Thought provoking? Against subtitles? |

"Hi guys
The conjuring or Jeepers creepers if you havent seen them.
Miss"
I love Jeepers Creepers! Scares me so much though.
We go camping alot and we were camped in the countryside one night, sat around the fire. It was so quiet and we were right next to a barley field.
Suddenly lots of birds flew into the air and I imagined him running towards me through the field.
Scary ass guy!!

"The last film that made really jump was The Others
If you want spine chilling menace AND sudden shock you still struggle to find better than ALIEN the director's edit. "
Alien is something I never tried.. I really like prometheus.
Thanks

Alien is a masterpiece compared to Prometheus.
I enjoyed Prometheus but felt it could have been a much better movie than it was. All the elements were there but the story was to drawn out. I wasn't really enamoured with Charlize Theron as the 'lead' either. |

The shining is the scariest film I've seen, that beautiful naked woman turning into a Granny. Like the opposite on here they fuck a granny an imagine it's a beautiful woman |

"Human centipede 2 is pretty fucked up.
I spit on your grave is pretty hard to watch too. (The remake) the rape scenes made me feel really uncomfortable
"
I started to watch human centipede and nearly threw up. Turned it off.
My mother made me watch the I spit your grave film. It was traumatising, I can't bear to watch any film with rape scenes.

Me too! It was a great film but did creep me the heck out.
I love both insidious and the conjuring.

"This might be laughed at but......
The woman in black 
For a 12 that shit is scary! "
We've watched it.. it was quite good but I couldn't get past the "Harry Potter is fighting a ghost" feeling, ha ha.

Kill List.
And I'll second the shout for 'rec 2' as well. Probably as good as the first film.
'The Devils Backbone' is another good one. Its directed by Guillermo Del Toro who did 'Pans Labyrinth' but it's more overtly horror than the latter.
'It Follows' is a real throwback to late 70's horrors like Halloween. It got great reviews and people said it was very 'jumpy'. I thought it was good but not particularly scary. Very atmospheric and a great soundtrack though. Might be worth a go. |

Modern horror movies are not that good really. They seem to have only murderers or demonic spirits as the main antagonist of the films.
Horror movies years ago used to have a fine balance of good characters and plot with some decent scares and gore but now it seems that the good horror movies with that balance are almost rare as most of the modern horror movies today have not much in characters and plot and seem to be more focused on jump scares and gore which just doesn't work |

A lot of the good ones have been mentioned. Maybe a couple others to throw into the mix.
Annabelle
Shrooms
1408 (a good thriller with horror elements)
The grudge is a classic
Grave Encounters
Session 49 is a bit different
Anyone have some outside of the box suggestions?

Don't get the hype for that film at all, bored to death
I suggest:
Session 9
Blair Witch
White Noise
Lovely Molly
Absentia
Sinister
V/H/S
Any of the popular Asian horror movies, Ringu, ju-on, kairo, noroi

Not really "scary" but The Cabin in the Woods is a fantastic film. Sort of a love-letter to horror and horror tropes by Joss Whedon.
Not to be confused with Cabin Fever (original) which was just odd. |

I started to watch it but had to hide behind a cushion. I just turned it off but I'll be having nightmares for sure!

A Tucker and Dale fan! I knew there had to be another out there somewhere.
Are you watching Ash vs Evil Dead? Season two just finished and it is absolutely brilliant. |

Mama would have been excellent if they hadn't bottled it and went with a CGI Mama. The original motion tests are fucking nightmare fuel

There are very very few horror films that are any good these days.
All mentioned have been boring. Only one recently that has kept my interest is the conjuring 2.
I want to find something that scares/unsettles me. Not yet found it. However I have found 2 that have disturbed me and I had to do turn of and bleach my brain. |
