So, from the previous one my horror selections were:

-

-

The Conjuring

The VVitch

Alien

Get Out

It Follows

Pan's Labyrinth

Bone Tomahawk

The Descent

10 Cloverfield Lane

Split

Ghost Stories

The Mist

A Quiet Place

Event Horizon

Insidious (Or at least, the first half of it)

[REC] (Spanish version much better than the remake)

VHS (1 and 2)

-

However I'd also like to chuck in Killer Klowns from Outer Space cause it's delightfully over the top.

Another has mentioned Pandorum which I wholeheartedly recommend.

-

As Above, So Below

Paranormal Activity - they didn't need to make any more, the 1st was interesting in it's own right and terrifying in the theatre.

Gerald's Game

Sinister

Devil - Takes place primarily in a single elevator, not like a great movie, but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Legion - Takes place in a small gas station in bumfuck nowhere, put it on thinking it was something else entirely but enjoyed it anyway.

Oculus - Siblings reunite to take down an evil presence from their childhood

Triangle - Don't look anything up about it.

Lake Mungo - Possibly my favourite slow-burner. There's this unreal creepy and unsettling vibe throughout the entire film and it just grows over time.

-

While it's not a movie, if you have Netflix; The Haunting of Hill House was pretty awesome. I haven't read the book (but I will) so I can't compare the two, but the series was fantastic. We were sucked right in, and had to watched a second round with my other flat mates to spot things we all missed the first time around.

+1 for 10 Cloverfield Lane. John Goodman is freaking great in that film. The horror is extremely subtle throughout. It's also set in the Cloverfield universe and that is a another rabbit hole you can immerse yourself in. Have you seen the Cloverfield Paradox?

Agreed, Goodman was so eerie. Left me completely unsure what he was going to do next, and wondering how much truth he was sharing with everyone.

I have! I watched it last year - it was interesting, not enough for me to go back for a second viewing but I am glad I got through it. Did you enjoy it?
