    These are the horror movies that stayed with me for at least a few days, some of them are stupid but struck a chord:

    • It Follows
    • Gerald’s Game
    • Mirrors
    • Dead Silence
    • Elephant

    The fear didn’t last long after the fact, but I do also want to call out Hereditary and Don’t Breathe for making me the most tense during the movie.

    Threads was created with the specific purpose to be existential dread inducing nightmare fuel, a nuclear deterrent and a documentary all at once. I see it as the most horrific movie ever made. To a fault. It is so successful in achieving its goals it makes you question whether you can enjoy it. I admire its formal qualities and cinematic language, but every time I know I'm admiring the spectacle of human suffering.

    I guess you can't separate that from "good" horror. Threads has both visceral horror and heaps of implicit philosophical horror. So yeah, watch it if you want to stare at the void.

      Just posted about Threads and then scrolled down and saw this; couldn't agree more. A very important film that I'm definitely glad exists but literally :agony-deep: in movie form lmao

      It's really good! What I like the most about the stories is that they're not simply grotesque or aggressive like cheap horror often tends to be. I don't know if it's in the delivery, but they're so beautiful and touching in such a unique way. I don't think I know anything quite like Knifepoint.

    Read House of Leaves if you never want to feel safe in a comfy warm house ever again

    I really liked the movie "It Follows." It does a good job at building up slow, creeping psychological horror.

    I’d recommend Come and See even though it’s not a “horror” film. It is horrifying though, pulls no punches in portraying war and how civilians are never safe from the terror.

        The film "Threads" is this but for nuclear war, incredibly bleak and disturbing, by far the film that's horrified me the most in the literal sense.

          On the Beach also not a fun time. Makes Threads look like FALGSC.

      Just watched it. One of the best portrayals of Nazis I've seen on film. They are cruel beyond belief and they take pleasure in the suffering of innocent people. What's terrifying to me is the fact that I've seen all of this behavior from cops and neo-nazis in the past few years. If they take power they will do it again.

    Triangle is a pretty good psychological horror, starts off with kinda boring scooby doo type mystery, then becomes a terrifying mindfuck.

      I want to watch this but haven't taken the time to find it though less then polite methods...

      spoiler

      Watched some YT'er talk about it, made it sound like an actually good Silent Hill movie.
