Discussion what are your fave/scariest horror movies?

Yes, what an absolutely gut-wrenching scene. Have you seen Ari Aster's other film Midsommar? I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but I'll just say the first 20 minutes are similarly devastating, if not more so

I haven't, but it's high up on my list of things to watch. I'm nervous for the beginning because I've heard a little bit about it, but I've also heard that it's an incredible movie, so I plan to check it out.

I put off seeing Nope by Jordan Peele for awhile. I really liked Peele's films. Us was his weakest one for me, but the others were fantastic.

Nope was phenomenal to say the least, decent pacing, good character development and genuinely terrifying and well-done sequences. It's not super scary, but it's there, and in typical Peele fashion the political / more-so social commentary was great, though much more subtle than his previous films.

I'd definitely recommend it if you like any of his previous films, or if you don't know him at all.

i really loved nope!! i thought his approach to aliens was incredible and original. all the characters were really great.

i recently watched the new hellraiser and i loved it!!i especially loved the new cenobite designs, i felt they honored the originals while being unique.

Good thread, good recommendations. Shall pluck myself up for Midsommar tonight then, Hereditary was intense. Is it anything like The Wicker Man? Loved that one.

ALSO no one's mentioned Dr Lecter yet?? 😮

Films were ok but the series was a proper journey. Godd it's good. 😭

Midsommar is much closer to Wicker Man.

As for myself, plenty of great films past few days. Hellraiser remake, Terrifier 2, Barbarian and Deadstream were all excellent. But the best hands down was Pearl. A must see.

Oh and Ring is a childhood classic for me.
