Any good horror movies?

[Spiral Mage]

I love how someone said "Dragon Ball Z Evolution". Ba-ZING!

It's all subjective and up to preference but I thought "It Follows" was a horrible concept .. most horror movies are just lame ideas, that stack on horrible execution. But that's my opinion, obviously many people here and elsewhere, would disagree with me.

I've watched as many horror movies as I can, I watch them all, knowing they're all going to be horrible .. the ones that get a pass from me .. are things like "The Thing" .. remake, or the original .. both were good. "The Grudge" remains my #1 recommendation if it hasn't been seen by the person already. The Japanese have a knack for subtle creepiness, and The Grudge has a simple plot but it makes total and logical sense, and follows through on it solidly. "The Ring" on the other hand was laughably bad.

I know there are some others but I'm trying to drag them out of the recesses of my mind. "After.Life" is classified as a horror movie but it's really more of a mindfuck. No chasing, no monster, no scares. Just a creepy and intentionally unanswered plot that feels very well put together to spite being slow.

"The Awakening" I think it was, started out good but went bad fast .. Roger Ebert hit the nail there: "A great buildup and atmosphere, totally destroyed by the ending". Yep, pretty much ..

"Event Horizon" was good, if you think it falls under horror .. the finale was anticlamatic to me but it was still a solid concept ..

EDIT: Oh and it isn't a movie but I'd recommend perhaps, the TV series: "American Horror Story". Each season is an entirely different setting and new characters, with a new plot, so you might look over each season and pick the one that seems the most appealing to you.

Couple random horror films from my collection:

• Absentia
• Bram Stoker's Dracula
• Evil Dead (2013)
• It Follows
• Maniac (2012)
• Oculus
• The Babadook
• The Fly (1986)
• Triangle
• The Strangers

I can suggest more. I can also provide loose synopses, or specific films within a given scope. Obviously tastes vary from person to person, but I've watched something in the realm of a few hundred horror films. So I should be able to suggest something enjoyable. Probably not for folks who just dislike the genre on principle, though. But then, why would they ask for recommendations?

"The Thing" .. remake, or the original

The "remake" was actually a prequel. You should totally watch both films again.

DO NOT WATCH TORTURE PORN like: Hostel, Hostel 2, or any of the Saw franchise.....

I remember watching It Follows but already forgot how it went, suprised to see it so well liked. A couple of movies that got me interested:

- The Babadook
- Indidious 1-3
- Paranormal Activity
- The Strangers
- You're Next
- Wrong Turn
- The Hills Have Eyes
- Cabin in the Woods (not really scary, but brilliant in how it parodies the genre)
- Mirrors
- The Pyramid
- The Grudge
- The Ring
- The Last House on the Left
- Last Shift
- The Descent
- Trick R Treat
- Martyrs

I Saw the Devil.

It's not "officially" considered a horror movie, but, it most definitely is.

OP, are you looking for modern horror films? That's what I got out of the post, but I keep seeing people suggest things like Hellraiser, The Fly, Event Horizon, movies like that. I certainly recommend all of them, but they're also 20+ years old, not exactly modern. If you're not just looking for "modern" horror movies, I can add a TON to this list.
