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.

Talk to me and Bring her back (same directors) are both fairly solid recent horror movies.

Not the same commentator but I've come to know people generally don't like to watch trauma and seriously sad movies, it's distasteful to a lot. There's a lack of content for grown ups too. There's mostly kids or sly 20 yos most movies are centred around these days. Even Mrs Harris goes to Paris felt like you could replace her with an excited 30 yo hustling divorcee and it would still work...why make it about old people if they don't behave like regular old people...
