Night of the Demon if you like old films that do it with atmosphere rather than gore....apart from the stupid bit at the end that was tacked on against the director's wishes.
You're Next, The Strangers and Funny Games (all pretty similar) are quite good tbh. Another French one in the same vein called 'They' was a good'un as well. I also enjoyed one called The Sacrament which was a docu/found footage type.
Island of Death. Bit low budget and non-PC, but kind of entertaining.
Hello, I've been looking for you.
I also watch a pretty ludicrous amount of horror films, good and bad, to the extent that they all begin to blur together.
I watched on a year or two ago, and I've tried to find it again but to no avail. It's British, possibly Scottish or Irish, and all set in a single flat. I think it may have a character's name in the title.
There's a couple, and the guy's mate comes to stay at their flat but he's kind of a feck-up I think and outstays his welcome, sits around playing video games. I think he gets really bad headaches. He starts to think there's some sort of demon after him – there's one really vivid scene where he's trying to hide in the bathroom and this demon walks past the window.
I think towards the end they all end up going up to the flat above and it all kicks off. There may be a pregnant woman. There may be newspaper cuttings on the wall.
PLEASE HELP ME, it's really annoying me.
Same here, I watch loads but that doesn't ring a bell.
@Jiggs'Hamstring Shallow Grave?
Polish director Andrzej Zulawski passed away yesterday, his film 'Possession' is as mental a horror film you'll ever see.
That's what I thought at first but who was the one with the demons was it Ecclestone?
Been a while since i've watched it so not too familiar myself.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no........ No, no, no, no, no, no, no,...... No, no..... No... No.......No
If you really want to be scared watching a horror take acid beforehand.
Watched the ring and half the stuff the scared the shit out of me wasn't even in the film, i just imagined it.

The Visit is pretty original and weird.
It Follows was very edgy as well.

Yeah I watched the visit the other day, could have been loads better I thought, also was it based on a Stephen King short story?
@a_devil_inside
Afraid not lads, but thanks
Any more info you can give us
Any decent serial killer movies?
How or where can I download or watch any films I want to such as session 9
Ha e you seen I saw the devil?
Also what's the best horror forum?
Dunno about forums, but r/horror is a pretty good subreddit.
Yep, I think I liked it, although not as much as I hoped.
I watched Pay The Ghost tonight with Cage.
It wasn't scary, but the story was surprisingly not that bad

What do people think about The Collector?
Any idea who was in it or even roughly what decade it's from?
I've been trying to figure out what one was that I saw about 5 minutes of as a kid, but no one ever has a clue what I'm on about. May as well try it here too:
It involved these two young fella's in a cabin in the woods, they are looking out over a clearing into the woods when this guy that's kinda green and freakish looking starts slowly marching towards them saying "I am your papa" as they frantically try to hide. One may have been trying to hide under a bed, but I'm unsure. I was about 5 when I saw it and it was terrifying. That's the only bit I saw though before I was kicked out of the room.
@Art Vandelay how many years ago roughly was this?
The mid to late 80's I saw it. The film was in colour and looked to be late 70's/early 80's possibly.
I know it's a hopeless quest mate, but it was worth a go. I've been asking people what it was for nearly 30 years.

Invaders from Mars (1986) just popped to my head...
Not sure how well it aged, but damn it was creepy shit to see as a kid.

The Collector was a scrapped Saw script and is decent. The Collection takes things to a bigger stage but not as good.
Didn't know that but agree about the sequel.
August Underground sorry if you see it
Find most horror movies to be piss poor.
It's either too predictable or just tons of shaky cam and jump scares these days.
Best ones are definitely those that use religion/demons as a base, like the exorcist or emily rose. Babadook i haven't seen, but to me, the review makes it sound like one of very few horror movies that are thoroughly enjoyable when you've had the full experience (if you understood the plot points), so I expect to give it a try eventually.
The shining is good, but getting old. The ring was pretty crap, far behind the grudge which I fell asleep while watching at the cinema when I was a kid. Blair Witch project was revolutionary for its time, but everything post that like quarantine and paranormal activity (which I also fell asleep under) just feels too bland.
Funnily enough, I was a proper scardy cat when I was a kid, and my (big) brother loved horror movies, when we grew up I ended up finding horror movies hard to enjoy, whilst he can't stand even the absolute dogshit ones.

The one with Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter is a good watch.
Come on, Suspiria is a wicked trip (insane soundtrack) but you couldn't call it scary, it's way too ridiculous!
Just bought Lizard in A Woman's Skin, another italian '70's horror, looking forward to it.
Anyone seen The Witch yet and is it any good?
I've read it's not actually horror but more like an arthouse drama film in a horror setting than a proper horror movie most people expect when they visit the cinema. Someone said it's really slow and supposed to unnerve you rather than having jumpscares etc in it.
I really want to see that, looks like the best horror movie to come out in a long while.
Trying to decide what one to watch tonight.
