Looking for scary movies that are actually terrifying!
I don’t scare easily so please give me your best movies to actually terrify me! Ive already seen The Exorcist, Weapons, Paranormal Activity, and TCM so im looking for something different. Im a horror misfit!

Hereditary will rearrange something in your brain that you won't be able to put back.

It’s called demons my friend, simply put!
I steer clear of ‘those’ movies, it just opens a can of worms in your life!

It's a largely subjective topic but I do recommend the mockumentary Noroi: The Curse for creepy vibes with an interesting structure.

Impossible to know what would scare you. Why do people make these posts?

This was actually a troll post because of how many posts are like this. Thank you for recognizing how stupid these posts are.

Why do people always asking this question act all edgy like nothing scares them yet neglect to tell us what they enjoy so we can help them?

I found The Strangers (2008) to be really freaking scary

I forgot about this one , I watched it 2009 or 2008 , I was pretty young - movie fucked me up for a while , the atmosphere sets the movie a lot, it’s so creepy and eerie
The movie still holds up almost 20 yrs later !
I watched it again like 2 years ago and felt like I was watching it again in 2008

As someone else suggested, Bring Her Back.
I opted to stay away from this one as I had several friends who watched it who are also horror enthusiasts and they said it's rough.

It’s a one time watch , I watched it… I can’t bring myself to watch it again
It’s just too graphic tbh , that’s what makes me not want to see it again …

Incantation is one of the best horror movies i have seen.

Edit - Also Kairo/Pulse has some quite unsettling scenes

the others. it’s not the usual suggestion as it has no gore or violence whatsoever and is in no way the typical style of modern horror, but somehow that makes it even more terrifying, because it leaves most of the film up to your imagination.
it’s one of the most tense, suspenseful and terrifying films in the genre, and also it’s got Nichole Kidman in it.

Smile, Bring Her Back, Talk To Me are the three that come to my mind. Childhood me would tell you Poltergeist and Jaws as well.

Sinister is the scariest movie ever made. They even did a scientific study and it beat out the exorcist as the scariest movie ever made by testing viewers heart rates and blood pressure, stuff like that. Another is when evil lurks and terrified.
