Hereditary
Movie has stuck with me since I saw it in theaters. I have a recurring nightmare once every few months where I'm the kid waking up and someone is hovering in the corner of my room lol

Hereditary is scary but this is exactly why I asked what their attention spans were like. You have to really buy in and absorb a horror movie like hereditary. I don't know if it's really going to be scary for a younger crowd. Same with movies like The wailing, which are awesome, but are more psychological.
That's why I was picking more vanilla types. Sinister is a good one, too. The first part of the it remake also has some traditional scares that probably will work well on young kids

Final Prayer
man i don't think i've ever seen somebody bring up this movie on here before. VERY effective FF movie (i'm a sucker for FF) with a great ending
i was actually trying to think of some FF movies to add
Alien Abduction (2014) has an amazing/scary scene
VHS2 has some good scares
Poughkeepsie Tapes would probably scare the shite out of them but it's probably too much for younger kids
The House that October Built was good
I haven't seen Hell House LLC yet but it's supposed to be good/scary
Lake Mungo had creepy parts
REC is awesome but I doubt they want to read subtitles. haven't seen Quarantine yet to see if it holds up
Savageland was good but requires some imagination
Exists is a solid monster FF movie but reveals the monster early and isn't super scary after that
some non-FF additions that I haven't seen mentioned
House of the Devil
The Void
The Strangers
Hellraiser
It Follows
Green Room (if you want to count it as horror)
Goodnight Mommy
The Invitation (if they have focus/patience)

I was a kid when HBO came out and was showing R rated unedited movies at home. One night I was alone and watch a movie called "The Town That Dreaded Sundown"...It was very loosely based on a serial Killer I think in Texarkana. He wore a sheet-type sack/pillowcase on his head for a mask. Sort of like "the Scarecrow" in Batman but not nearly as refined.
The way they showed the murders scared the living hell out of me and to this day I wouldn't be a player to watch it. Of course they never caught the killer and that added to the scare factor.

Not sure I'm the best to pipe in, as I mostly remember being scared as a kid. That and most "scary" movies these days are just gore fests.
The original Chucky, the original Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist, and Poltergeist I found most frightening.

When I was younger, Jeepers Creepers and The Strangers were the most terrifying movies I'd ever seen. Like most horror movies, as production value increases across the industry, those movies seem really low budget and silly. But I'll never forget how they made me feel in the moment.
Currently, Vivarium is the most unsettling movie on my radar. It stuck with me a few days after watching.
In terms of pure horror, I'd be hard pressed to find something more disturbing than the home movies in Sinister. The movies, mixed with the music were just too much. To the point where I've re watched Sinister a few times and I start to get nervous when he's about to show the movies. They are fricking disturbing, but undoubtedly my favorite part of the film.
We've been on a horror kick lately. In the past 2 weeks we've watched:
Eden Lake
Jaws
The Witch
Oculus
Requiem for a Dream (not horror, but still heavy)
A Quiet Place 2
Halloween (original)
Body at Brighton Rock
The Outsider
A Quiet Place 2 was, IMO, the best out of all of those. The Witch was the most thought provoking. Oculus and Eden Lake were good, but fell into the category of normal horror movie. That isn't to say they weren't very good, just nothing extraordinarily special about them.
I've read mixed reviews on Body at Brighton Rock. IMO it was more funny than anything else. I understand that the woods were suppose to be haunted, but the thought of tasking this girl with taking care of a found dead body and then arriving at the scene to find that she's pepper sprayed herself, threw her radio out into the forest, and almost killed herself climbing a rock (all before the bear) is fricking hilarious.

I have other movies that bothered me rather than scared me.....I don't scare easy at all but I would rather be scared than "bothered"
For horror it would be the original Friday the 13th....
For disturbing it would be 8mm, Devils Rejects, or Bone Tomahawk.
You could always go truly hardcore with A Serbian Film, or that Cannibal movie that was banned everywhere....Can't speak to either of those as I have not watched. And don't plan to but they are pretty much hailed universally as 2 of the most upsetting movies ever made.

A couple not mentioned here:
Phantasm - as a 10 year old, this movie was terrifying....“Booooooyyyy!!!!!”
Amityville II: The Possession - not the entire movie, but the scene where the possessed son kills his parents and siblings was extremely scary and disturbing at the same time.

You always hype that scene/movie up.
It is good though. quote:

Meh, I have found all three VHS movies disappointing.
quote:
Poughkeepsie Tapes
Not horror as much as just plain fricked up. In the same vein as Megan is Missing...it would likely frick the teens up, but maybe not scare them too much (although MiM may scare them a bit since it's tied to meeting people online/through SM type shite).

The House that October Built

Hell House LLC
Both are just okay. I think HHLLC is the better film though, and also scarier/creepier than Houses. The way Houses ended left a lot to be desired IMO.

Green Room
quote:
The Invitation
These are all very good, although Green Room is more of a thriller than horror. But it's tense as frick though. House of the Devil has a very classic horror feel where the creepy, slow-burn vibe and the way it's shot is as "scary" as the plot. Really well done.
I haven't seen The Void, but if it's anything like Baskin, I'd pass. That movie was bad.
I think this comes down to how much the teens pay attention to the movie. I watch movies with my 18 year old stepdaughter occasionally and I constantly have to tell her to put her phone down. She doesn't watch horror movies, but paying attention is especially important for that genre. Of course nothing will be scary when you're scrolling through social media every 10 minutes.
Some others I haven't seen mentioned that I've seen over the last however many years that I have liked:
- The Vast of Night - very simple, well-acted alien type of movie set in the 50s I think.
- Midsommar - good, not great. But pretty creepy vibes.
- The Endless - part horror, part sci-fi. Cool concept. I really liked it.
- The first Paranormal Activity is solid. Just don't watch the trailer.
- As Above, So Below - really creepy movie about the catacombs of Paris.
- Triangle (2009) - Cool movie/concept with people trapped on a ship and dealing with someone stalking them.
- The Possession - most movies like this struggle to end it well, but this one was solid.
- Grave Encounters - reality TV show (think Ghosthunters type) that films in an abandoned asylum and things get sideways.
- The Crazies - sort of a new take on the zombie genre. I liked it a lot.
- The Mist - town encapsulated by a weird mist that brings creatures, and a group is trapped in a grocery store, and shite gets sideways fast.
- 28 Days Later - one of the best zombie films ever.
- 30 Days of Night - awesome vampire flick.

i'll never understand how Ti West didn't become a bigger deal after this and the Sacrement
he also did Innkeepers but I haven't seen it

oh yeah 100%. go back to my second post in this thread
horror is one of those genres like comedy that the timing/style of your teen period seems to really leave a lasting imprint on you. the fiance, for example, grew up in the terrible 00s with I know what you did last summer and the final destination movies being "scary movies".

Which part? I assume the "Sick thing that happened to Emily when she was younger" one? The problem with the VHS shorts is that they are so poorly acted that even the good/cool plots come out looking terrible.

The Sacrament was pretty good, I agree. I actually bought The Innkeepers years ago but still have yet to watch it.
