This is a judgement free zone, Skinamarink is a perfectly acceptable answer
Edit: we're getting pretty decent participation so I'll selfishly ask, what's your scariest demon slash possession slash exorcism movie? I seen them most!

For me I think Skinamarink was the most dreadful film, in the most literal sense.
There are some scary moments and one in particular, but the overall feeling is overwhelming dread and exhaustion.
The kind of vibe you're describing is similar to how I think the Ari Aster horror movies work, you get so emotionally drained and tired from the constant misery and stress the characters are dealing with and that, I think, makes it harder to put up walls and make light of the scary parts.
Skinsmarink seems like it'd do that really well but I read the description and while I might have watched it five years ago ever since I became a parent I just can't handle kids being subjected to that level of trauma. I cried during Onward lol
Yeah I definitely would not recommend if you struggle with children being subjected to trauma, its very rough.
Yeah I think that's right. I do think there's a kind of scary that is not related to acute "scary moments" though. Like it's possible that the ever deepening :doomjak: feeling is a more perverse type of scary than just a series of scary moments. In fact I think that deep, unsettling feeling that sinks in when the full sense of severity becomes clear is much scarier than a bunch of classic scary moments.
It's kind of the same with Texas Chainsaw Massacre honestly, like that movie doesn't have a ton of "scary moments" either, it's much more about the summation of watching the protagonists desperately exist in this demented environment.
