What's/are the scariest movie(s) that you watched? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I watched Us (2019). OMG, what an utter garbage. It literally sent craps down my spine. (I had to invent a new saying, as defining it merely as crap would be a criminal understatement.)

Don't Leave Home (2018) is a very good movie. Not scary but very atmospheric. Splendid utilization of music too.

On IMDB, Us got more than 200.000 votes and has an average rating of almost 7; while Don't Leave Home received barely more than 1000 votes, the average score of which is 5.

Come on people! Make the world just again!

^Hmm. I really cannot watch real violence and abuse videos. I'm oversensitive about such things. I realized that my sensitivity level is very high, when I had/made my flatmate watch a terrible video of a practice in the fur industry. My friend was barely affected, whereas I had been seriously traumatized.

Jason and the Argonauts, I was about 8 years old and saw this in the theater in the early 60s. Honest I couldn't sleep for a week.

More than scary, this beautie was a masterpiece of stop-motion cinematography !!! Wink

Probably The Ring. I watched it in theaters when I was 10 and made me a horror movies fan.

Yes, The Ring is probably the scariest movie I have ever watched (and I've watched many, I assure you). Few horror movies beat Samara in her scariest moments :):)

...........................AND ...............

DEEP RED BY THE MASTER OF MODERN HORROR, DARIO ARGENTO:

Has anyone seen this one?

Spanish, 'Tesis' (Thesis); more of a psychological terror... saw it in the 90's. I remember having thought: ".. what a badass".

Being there, another I like from the 90's: 'The Blair Witch Project'.

I liked the then-new 'reality' approach of filming; the myth surrounding the movie, the woods, the suspense, the characters, the plot, and how something as simple as getting lost in a forest can frighten you so.

Before that, around 1990, Anjelica Huston's 'The Witches', wherein the witches made that sort of convention ceremony where they took out their human disguises and turned boys into mice, caught me badly... I was about 10. It got me scared for days even in daylight!

I'm reading here the director had to soften it after showing it to his kid!

The Witches: 8 Cool Behind-The-Scenes Facts About The Anjelica Huston Movie

And before that, certainly many. Honored mention:

Don't know if these are 'the most', but the ones I remember. Anyway, not a horror fan per se. In books a bit more.. Stephen King fan. A great book, and one of the best suspense/horror sequences I've read, was the ending of 'The Eyes of the Dragon'.

Blair stuff was just the opposite for me. The epitome of uninteresting borefest...

Oh and, I wouldn't directly oppose that. Perhaps I was taken advantage of as a kid. Pinch

Nah nah, don't try to get away with it.

There's good kid movies and bad ones, (well, to put it your way, at least I never liked it).
