Spooky season will be over soon but we still have time to binge some Halloween favorites so share your favorite scary movie recommendations in this thread.
Two foreign ARTSTY horror films:
Posession 1981 (French/German) there will never be another film like it.
Suspiria 1977 (Italian) another one-of-a-kind-film. Thees both have their flaws, but to me it only adds character. Their motifs are comletely realized and both had lasting effects on the horror genre.
I just watched Possession for the first time recently and was blown away. No idea how I never heard of it before. It just sucks you in.
The autopsy of Jane Doe is a recent favorite.
I was surprised by that one. I had figured it would be like C-tier horror, but it was closer to A-tier than I'd thought.
Very fun but not one of my super favs.
I watched this a couple years ago. I remember it being pretty decent.
Watching the Korean movie "The Wailing" was fantastic as a movie in general.
I also liked Smile if you want something more traditionally horror.
Final suggestion is Event Horizon because I fucking love that movie.
I still rewatch Event Horizon like once a year. It really doesn't hold up all that well, but it's a classic that I loved as a kid. I wish Paul W.S. Anderson would do more like it instead of a million terrible movies starring his wife.
Smile was better than I was expecting. It wasn't great, but a lot of cool, creepy imagery kept me interested.
And The Wailing is something every horror fan should see. It's so good. Korean Horror is almost always worth a watch.
The fact that the hell footage, including the blood orgy sequence (filmed with actual adult film stars), is lost forever is the true nightmare of Event Horizon. Another reason to hate Titanic.
