For someone that doesn't particularly like scary films, I've seen and really loved quite a lot that would be considered horror (or / horror)...

- Scream
- Aliens
- Silence of the Lambs
- 28 Days Later (pretty much any zombie or vampire film tbf)
- The Thing
- Event Horizon
- Terminator
- Jaws
- The Ring
- A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
- Pans Labyrinth
- Cabin in the Woods
- Attack the Block
- Green Room

More recently It Follows, Upgrade and Train to Busan make my list, Train to Busan is probably my all time (actual) zombie film - strong strong recommend

House of a Thousand Corpses is totally gruesome.


Yes it is: love Rob Zombie, especially his music.

Hellraiser is probably my favourite horror film. Thereā€™s a bit more to it than just simply being gory for the sake of being gory.

Some interesting trivia:

The house used in the film was in Dollis Hill:

There was a Hellraiser Bus Stop on the Old Kent Road:

The Descent.
The Ring
The Mist..

All 3 had great/disturbing endings


Ending of The Mist is classic, pure trauma

I never watched any of the sequels, there was just no point.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

The Shining is the best movie ever made (debatable if it is a horror though)

Suspiria

And as a kid Jaws scared the shit out of me

The oldies are the best. I love The Spiral Staircase šŸ‘ļø Beautifully filmed too.

Having said that Host is a good recent Horror. Had me going a bit.

The Shining definitely up there - and yes I reckon it's a horror film.

1, 2 and 5 are GREAT.

I'm a huge horror fan. My faves are The Thing and Terminator (fk you, it's every bit a horror film).

More recently I really liked Devil, It Follows and VHS Beyond (which is an anthology, I LOVE those).

Looking forward to seeing Smile 2. Smile shat me up.


I started watching Smile last night. It genuinely creeped me out. Turned it off in the end. I was already getting Sunday night panic attacks anyway, so just for health reasons I switched to random youtube vids.

Yes, the head in the boat hole and even the float bobbing up on the sea surface were genuinely scary. But I think that all comes from the general terror created in Jaws. Great film.

Watched Longlegs the other night. Was worried the hype would kill it, but have to say it's one creepy ass film. Nick Cage absolutely chewing the scenery but it works.

Kill List, most oppressive atmosphere i can remember. Watched everything Ben Wheatley has done after watching this.

Hereditary was good.

Babadook, nice twist on the depression/ grief horror theme.


I find Ben Wheatley stuff a coin toss, but when he hits, it's incredible.

However I watched his new zombie show on C4 last night and it was absolute garbage.

Agreed. Kill List is a great film but Generation Z was a complete mess.

A lot of my favourite films have been listed, including Alien, Halloween, The Shining, American Werewolf, The Thing, Hellraiser, Event Horizon, Saw, The Descent and Get Out. Others good ones are:

The Omen
Damien: Omen II
The Fly
A Quiet Place
Wrong Turn
Hostel

More thriller than horror, I also recommend:

Calibre
A Lonely Place To Die
Dead Calm

Suffering since 1978.

The first ā€œhorror filmā€ that really got me was The Night Walker. My mum and dad had an impromptu small gathering in our front garden for some reason leaving me and my young brother to watch it alone. I shat myself for a long time about this film, but it gave me love for Hammer Horror productions that I still have today, although much as Iā€™ve tried, I can never find any Dracula etc films on the box. Still got quite a few books from the 70ā€™s about this genre, including a still by still photograph book on the first Frankenstein movie.

The Exorcist got me badly first time around. Enjoyed The Omen so much I named my first son Damien.

One of the above is not true.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

Ah that's a shame about Gen Z, not watched it yet.

Yeah I know what you mean, but I'll always check Wheatley's stuff out, and the same with Mike Flanagan, it's not *always* amazing but usually interesting at least.

Good shout on Train to Busan, excellent film. The Korean film industry is really strong. On the horror side of things , Tale Of Two Sisters is pretty harrowing, and The Wailing is good.

I struggled with Train to Busan. It's the same with all Korean films, it's like they're aliens who are pretending to have human emotions or something. Can someone explain to them that people don't cry like that. It's like they're practically going 'BOOHOOHOOOOOO' or some shit. Takes me right out of it. Squid Game was the same.

Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. Stefan Moore, Stefan Moore running down the wing. He runs like a cheetah, his crosses couldn't be sweeter. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore. Stefan Moore.

I love Korean and Japanese horror/sci-fi and the acting is generally excellent.
Think the over-emoting may be lost in translation, especially if itā€™s English dubbed.
Train to Busan is an excellent movie with great zombies and action sequences: the little girl does cry a lot though!
