Movies that actually left me feeling unnerved:
The Witch
Bone Tomahawk
The Babadook
XTRO
The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
Top “fun” or interesting but not haunting horror movies:
Alien
The Thing
Friday The 13th Part 6
Evil Dead 2
House (1985)
(A lot of runner ups in the fun category, including basically all of the Jeffery Combs catalog, but I’m not even sure those can be considered “horror” instead of comedy with horror trappings. Similar to Dead Heat and the like.)
The Witch and Bone Tomahawk are absolute classics. now I guess I’ll have to watch your other recommendations
I had to look up House, I was only familiar with the Japanese one. I’ll check it out.
House and House II are classics, nice to see a human with some taste
I don’t like horror movies but Shawn of the Dead is brilliant.
Try Tucker and Dale Vs Evil. It’s a similar kind of horror comedy.
- Nosferatu (1922)
- Cat People (1942)
- Alien (1979)
- Under The Skin (2014)
- It Follows (2014)
Under the Skin is great.
Good ass list. Cat People rocks.
I’m biased toward stuff I’ve watched recently (and more than 5)
- hereditary
- evil Dead rise (2023)
- Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum
- midsommar
- talk to me
- rec (the Spanish one)
- the orphanage
- Veronica
Talk to me was fantastic! Been a good while since I felt so unnerved from watching a horror film.
- Event Horizon
- In the Mouth of Madness
- The Thing
- Dead Alive
- Evil Dead
This is a great list. I’d only replace dead alive with the void.
I like the concept of Event Horizon but not the execution, a remake could be interesting.
Yeah it’s gotten a lot of praise lately and I found the movie a bit drab and jarring. I might need to re-watch it
In no particular order, ill go with these:
-
Wes Cravens New Nightmare
-
Evil Dead (2013)
-
The Shining
-
Halloween (1978)
-
Poltergeist
Upvote for New Nightmare. Nice pick.
I love the Freddy movies, but New Nightmare is the only one the made me scared even AFTER watching them.
To this day.
And ill still rewatch it because its so amazing.
My only complaint is that it indulges in some of the old Freddy cartoonish weirdness (the big fake Freddy head and long tongue) but otherwise it’s just such a mature evolution of the whole franchise. It’s really one of my favorite trashy slashers.

No order:
Poltergeist Alien Hereditary Dale and Tucker The Witch
Extras: Sunshine, Event Horizon, Evil Dead (the reboot), Longlegs
You have excellent taste.
Off the top of my head:
- Exorcist
- The Thing
- Blair Witch Project
- Hereditary
- Event Horizon
The Fly (1986) X 28 Days Later Hereditary The Silence of the Lambs
Not specifically in that order, but those are some of my favorites as of late. The list changes from time to time.
