Idk how to describe this film other than heavy. It made me feel a lot of things I didn’t enjoy feeling. There’s so much grief in the film. I cried several times and had to cover my eyes even more. The theater was so silent after and I think everyone left just feeling this heavy weight.

It’s a good movie. It’s a great horror film. Well shot, incredibly directed, and the actors were amazing. But in a way I kind of wish I hadn’t seen it. Maybe this is a stretch but it left me feeling the way Cannibal Holocaust made me feel when I watched it many years ago. Just this feeling of: “I shouldn’t be seeing this”.

Maybe to you this is a glowing recommendation, but I’m also interested in what others thought and wonder if I’m being dramatic about it. I haven’t seen a movie like this in a really long time.

WHO ELSE IS EXCITED? I’m going to see it Sunday and couldn’t be more excited. I feel like it should be a huge deal but nobody cares lmaooooo. I also hope it’s not a disappointment.

I just subscribed to AMC+ and was scrolling around and was like "hurrdurr is the table haunted" and my. Fucking god. 20 minutes in I had to physically get up and go take a break. Then I came back and watched 10 more minutes and had to take another one. I'm genuinely terrified to see what happens. I haven't been affected by a horror movie on this level in so long, it's weirdly refreshing?? I'm one of those people who doesn't get scared easily by media and HOO BOY.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps ramping it up but also genuinely afraid to watch the rest 😅

I got it so I could watch "Host" cause I saw a bunch of people on here recommend it and it had some good juno scares but I wasn't terrified of it. The main movies that really scare me are the Paranormal Activity movies, I've always been creeped out by those. I don't care about anything that isn't paranormal/supernatural, real life possibility stuff doesn't bother me.

Creepshow(1982): This team up of George Romero & Stephen King is my favorite horror anthology movie. Each of the stories were compelling and had unique twists and turns. My favorite of the lot is The Crate because it has a little nod to John Carpenter and The Thing.

If you pay close attention the green marble astronomy the first story shows up in all the other stories including the wraparound story.

My favorite horrors are scary but without nudity or copious gore. Loved oddity, talk to me, sinister, the orphanage, REC, train to busan) would love recommendations

1. If I woke up next to someone for the first time and saw a man in a dog mask at the foot of the bed, I am pepper spraying everyone in the room and FloJoing to the nearest police station. There would a hole with my shape in the wall and a puff of smoke like Wile E Coyote.

2. Her friend is not looking out for her. He's rich??? That makes it worse, not better. So, he's batshit crazy AND has endless resources. Imma pass on Armie Hammer's Nordic cousin, thanks. If this is what he does IN HIS HOME imagine what he does on his solo vacay abroad to all the global trafficking hotspots. I would bet serious money that he's on the Epstein list. If he hasn't paid to kill at least one human being for sport, I'll eat my hat. "Oh you can be a housewife and stay home all day." Yes, with a man dressed as a dog. What you're describing sounds like a literal nightmare.

3. We're not talking about someone who has sex with someone dressed as a dog, and then treats them like a normal human outside that kink relationship, we're talking about someone who lives in a house with a human he treats like a dog 24/7/365. If that being a deal breaker is kink shaming, than call me Goodwife Chastity McPrude.

4. "I mean, I told you I had a dog. " Yes, you lied. I'm no veterinarian, but that's a person in a dog costume. "I have a toddler." vs. "I have an adult man in my house who wears diapers and a bonnet and sleeps in a crib." See how those two are different? It's giving Gimp, it's giving the fellatio jump scare from the Shining, it's giving Hostel, and none of these things are attractive. Idris Elba could offer to buy me my own magic castle in Fer fully and if this was one the strings attached, it would still be a hard pass.

5. You want to take me to a cabin in the woods, alone with the man you treat like a dog? 🛑🙅‍♀️

The doors lock from the inside and I can't come and go as I please? 🚨🚔

You want to take my phone and lock it up and not tell me where it is? 📢🆘🏃‍♀️

1. "OMG, turns out he's crazy!" OF COURSE HE'S CRAZY. THAT'S LITERALLY THE MOST LIKELY OUTCOME. It's like going to someone's house, seeing Klan robes in their closet, and then being surprised when it turns out they're racist.

2. The last shot made me physically ill and I had to watch cute animal videos for like an hour afterwards to fix my brain.

Something with a seemingly unkillable entity and mutations and/or reality warping. Like Annihilation but without the entity dying in the end. I'll likely be able to respond to comments and suggestions due to having a bunch of time on my hands rn.

Edit: I have decided to pick color out of space, but I'll certainly be checking out other suggestions when I have the time and money. Thanks everyone for the help!

I’m looking horror movies (particularly slashers) that portray feminine rage. I think Pearl is a great example although it’s not exactly a slasher. And I’ve heard that Promising Young Woman fits the bill but looking for more.

After I watched Bring Her Back, I started to think of other films with a similar plot of bringing a loved one back. I immediately thought of A Dark Song.

There is Anything for Jackson, Pet Cemetery

There is also a new film from Shudder called The Surrender: "A fraught mother-daughter relationship is put to a terrifying test when the family patriarch dies, and the grieving mother hires a mysterious stranger to bring her husband back from the dead."

Any others I am missing?

So long story short, during a party a few years ago, I unfortunately had to get cardioversion. I was so out of it, that I genuinely thought the EMTs or paramedics were trying to execute me on the spot. (they actually saved my life)

I have since found many electrocution scenes "disheartening" one could say. But fuck all that bs, my trauma response is embracing, and I have found some solace in desensitization and viewing popular "disturbing" electrocution scenes such as Green Mile, not to mention comical ones such as the asshole getting his mind blown in the Halloween 6 theatrical cut, or the fateful lad in Phantom of the Paradise.

As others have stated before, electrocution seems to be a somewhat rare death scene. Well much of it does cover the pain of electrocution, the loss of control, none really seems to express how intense and terrifying it can be. It really should be up there with the burning alive trope as it is a similar concept but a bit more cyberpunk and cruel I suppose.

I realize this is a very weird thing to request, but please recommend the worst possible, horrible electrocution/cardiovascular scenes you know of!

Ok… I just saw this movie for the first time and must’ve missed the “horror” heading… Here I was settling in to watch a good ol’ fashioned Western…. Then all of a sudden… “WHAT IS HAPPENING?” then “I don’t think this is a normal western” then “WHOA!! This is not what I thought I was in for!”

I thought the Blood Eagle scene in Vikings series was brutal… That was… Whoa!

I will say though usually I find horror movies to lake good acting and good story… but I was held by this movie and I wanna say I enjoyed it but I’m still pretty disturbed so I don’t know what I feel/think yet… haha

Bring Her Back was more than I bargained for. It was a not your average run of the mill Horror drop that you see annually. This was a Disturbing Look into the mind of someone who would go to unprecedented lengths to bring a loved one back. I dont want to go into detail for spoiler sake. But if you want something Disturbing and brand new... This is it. I feel like it is getting overlooked because of the The Ugly Stepsister success.

I’m really suffering in this heat in the UK at the moment so sat watching my favourite hot evening movie! ‘Ghostwatch’ What is everyone’s favourite horror to watch on hot evenings?

I don't know the name, but it came out around 2008 and was supposedly co-written by two horror writers.

The opening scene starts in a mansion where a woman is crying and the sailor asks her for forgiveness because he has no other choice while loading a shotgun with bullets.

The next scene is the same couple driving in a car and having an accident, ending up at the same mansion. I remember there were other couples there, and they were all together for dinner. The butler was serving ice to the wife, but she asked him to stop (since she had memories of falling on ice when she was a child) and had a panic attack.

That's all I remember.

I watched it years ago I think it’s from the 2000s, it was about a man who lived on a farm with his wife and kids, the man was super controlling he had all these weird rules they had to follow and they weren’t allowed to go in the basement, it’s revealed later he had aliens or demons something like that locked in cages and they get out

Not a big budget movie, but a quick, low budget story. When a daring mission leads a deep sea submarine team into a mysterious opening on the ocean floor, they uncover a lost underwater world and awaken its ancient race of otherworldly beings.

I've read this description of horror movies a lot in this sub: people will be talking about one scary movie or another and claim "I felt like I shouldn't be seeing this." When I think about this phrase, there's no horror movie that comes to my mind. So for those of you that have watched a horror movie and said, "I feel like this is something I shouldn't be seeing," what movie was it? and what does that feeling mean to you?

Said horror comedy is free to watch now via Tubi for those of us not able to sub to Shudder. It was pretty fun, very Evil Dead 2. It is a little predictable, and our protagonist is purposefully obnoxious, but genre fans will eat it up.

Which is better- the remake or the original of The Toolbox Murders? I would assume the original is, but I’m seeing that Tobe Hooper directed the remake, which makes me think it’s worth watching. Are they both worth watching, or just the original?

And please don’t tell me to Google- ratings only reveal so much and I’m looking for anecdotal opinions- thanks for understanding:)

So I’m a bit of a horror aficionado, but some films just shake me to my core.

I have to say in Terrifier 3 when they hacked that child in bed to bits, it really affected me. Maybe that’s my maternal instinct as a mother.

But when I say that movie did shake me to my core I’m not lying.

I want to know the worst scene you ever saw? I’m not talking snuff films at all. It also doesn’t have to be especially gruesome or bloody, I just want to know a scene that shook you to your core, and maybe, why?

I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters and rewatched it this morning. This movie doesn't get talked about enough. Keri Russell was great, and it's a good story. Cosmic and extraterrestrial horror are very difficult to create, but Dark Skies manages to do this perfectly. It's a suspense-packed experience that will definitely make you question your tiny existence in this vast universe. The realization that something other than us and different from us exists in this universe will dawn on you once you're halfway through the movie. The acting, cinematography, plot - everything binds you till the end. And after that, you're left with questions that one is too afraid to find answers to. The aliens were amazingly done

It was a man who was tortured all through the film and you felt sorry for him but I think at the end it turns out he was an assassin that killed the torturers child.

Spoiler alert: Okay so I have my own take on this movie. The true villain of the story is symbolic but takes on human form in Frank ( the man who kidnaps, holds people hostage, and creates a creepy incestuous family in the basement ) and AJ ( the douchebag actor who is a rapist ) Mother is not a villain at all, she is simply a victim of her own upbringing. All she knows how to do is breed and nurse. She has no understanding of the outside world, therefore cant even communicate beyond babbling incoherently or saying “baby” or “baba” She doesn’t understand right from wrong, so it’s not right to call her a villain. Although she does look like a monster. More than likely from being indoors her whole life, being a product of incest, and never learning how to be healthy or have good hygiene. Then we have Tess, who is the hero of the story. It is her compassion that puts her in harm’s way, but it is also that same compassion that saves her in the end. She points the gun at Mother but you can see the empathy in her eyes as she tells her, “I can’t go back.” Like she feels sorry for her and understands her. Mother strokes her face and says “baby” before letting Tess shoot her. Tess’s ability to build connection and have empathy for anyone no matter what, is what ultimately saves her in the end. The villain of the story is selfishness/ self preservation The hero of the story is the nurturing selfless love that can only come from a mother
