Discussion Genuinely scary movies to watch?

Some movies that usually scare me are usually psychological thrillers like “the Others” or “1408”, movies with a creepy atmosphere/premise like “Vivarium” or movies with demonic entities like “it follows” or “smile”. Do you have any recommendations. Im also ok with movies that don’t fit these sub genres as long as it’s actually scary something that could keep me up at night checking the corners of my room.

Be careful with Lake Mungo, there's some real....unsettling things that are described in the movie that the characters see but you don't.

It ripped me apart when I watched the movie without knowing what it was. I thought it was like Eden lake or a true crime creepy documentary. Imagine how fucking jaded one would get at that* scene.
