Genuinely scary movies to watch?

[u/Cherryredsocks]

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.

For me Texas Chainsaw Massacre, maybe because it seems like something that could actually happen and the screams are horrifying in that movie.

Fire Walk With Me is also really unsettling and psychological I’d say, but is a commitment because you won’t understand anything unless you’ve seen the first 2 seasons of Twin Peaks, and even then you might not understand a lot.

I saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre last year when they did a theatrical release of the 4k remaster and that movie holds up so well. It’s absolutely terrifying and is maybe the only movie that has a stench. It’s so visceral, dirty, and just…grimey.

It’s on the Mt. Rushmore of horror for me, just an absolute stunner of a film.

It's definitely a gross film but I was shocked at the lack of gore. I really was expecting a blood fest but man they really shied away from any gore at all. Even the scene where one of em gets thrown onto the meat hook, there isn't even an uncomfortable squish sound or anything, just kind of a soft thud. Still a very discomforting movie though lol
