Looking for some more good ones to watch. Preferably not “jump-scary”, I like slow-burners better.
The ones where USA wins.
It Follows and Midsommar are both really good “slow burn” horror movies. My favorite horror movie is the original Evil Dead.
It Follows is really good, I don’t remember it but I remember not liking the ending. Evil Dead 2 is like my favorite movie ever, first one definitely had soul though
I also love Evil Dead 2, super hard for me to decide if I like the first or second better. IMO the first has better horror while the second makes it up with more charm and comedy.
The Thing (1982)

The greatest slow-burn horror movie is the one where the protagonist realizes that they’re living in a capitalist hellscape
Good ending, though

I have to say the original Alien and The Thing are both pretty great.
These are both top tier films.
John Carpenter’s “The Thing” is one of my all time favorite movies. So that. Also “The Witch” 2015 film is fuck all creepy. Those same people made another film not too long ago that’s a more modern demon possession movie and it’s spot of creepy as all fuck. Neither of them have too many junk scares it’s more the just suuuper creepy and the setting and everything.
Edit: “Hereditary” that the name of the other movie. It’s fuck all creepy.
I loved the witch, really unsettled me.

The other movie I was talking about is “Hereditary” and fuuuuuck it’s some creepy shit.
Hereditary stuck in my head for weeks after I watched it. Scary af.
I saw The Thing so long ago and I was sleepy at the time, so I thought it was boring, I may need to watch it again
Don’t feed the plants from Little Shop of Horrors freaks me the fuck out. Little Shop of Horrors with the alternative ending might be the only “horror” movie that creeped me out.
The Shining (1980). Also the series Hauting of Hill House is quite good too.
I have haunting of hill house downloaded, I’ve heard good things.

The wailing
I’ve seen some differ horror movies from terror movies. The “jump-scary” ones they’d label as terror. Great horror movies, for me, are the ones which leaves a lasting traumatizing experience. Look no further than Gaspar Noé.
From him, I recommend Climax (2018) and Irreversible (2002). Irreversible was an extremely haunting experience
Nice thx, I’ll check those out.
Not sure if it is my all time fav but I really liked Creep (2014). It’s imo a solid scary movie despite being goofy as well.
Gerald’s Game is also surprisingly good. It’s such a simple concept but the execution is very good.
Village of the Damned is a lesser known one of you want to go on a more old school tour.
Is Creep similar to Hush? I get very similar vibes with those movies?
Creep is more found footage style video of a guu that goes mental and becomes serial killer/stalker. It’s goofy but also pretty intense at times.
Head count (2018). It’s a lesser known movie with a limited budget, but I liked the concept of the monster and it’s a slow-burner.

As a fellow disliker of jump scares, I recall “The Mist” (the one based on a story by Stephen “Stepan Bandera was a great man” King) being pretty good
Avoid Jump scares at all costs, ditch Friday the 13th movies. they all just film someone making popcorn for like 5 minutes, a door jiggles, they hide, door barges open…and it was their friend, next scene; they clean up around the house 5 minutes, open a closet slowly…cat jumps out. They never put in a hint or clue as to what will happen, just random surprises
