I swear i haven’t been legitimately scarred by a horror movie since hereditary. Not to say i haven’t loved some since it’s just that’s been the scariest imo
People that make the bet of doing suspense over jumpscares/horror really have it hard. They have to be as good as Hereditary otherwise it might be boring. I think many asian movies have the perfect rythmn for this kind of horror.
Yea honestly hereditary and The Wailing are the only movies I’ve seen that like actually scared the shit out of me. I had to split The Wailing into 2 nights because i started it too late and I was never gonna sleep
To quote the greatest horror movie tweet of all time: ‘My 12yo is into scary movies but complained they aren't scary enough so we just watched The Descent and wow you don't always know when you fuck up as a parent but this was a big one.’
first movie to ever fuck me up was the wizard of oz because the witch straight up tells dorothy she’s going to kill her and i hadn’t even fully grasped the finality of death yet due to being super young. i can’t say being traumatized by the wizard of oz is an original experience tho. i love horror now but that green freak still sends a shiver down my spine
Oh my god yes! The Wailing needs to be talked about more. Love how they lure you in with the charm and humor and then just descents into hell and took a piece of my souls. Also it just managed to keep the tension from start to finish, something western horror movies seem to struggle with, even Hereditary
Question it, keep going and questioning. How did the koala and kangaroo get to the ARK from Australia? MANY Flood Myths Exist. Evolution happened and is happening. We were NOT created by any GOD from any religion
I agree with The Ring, Hereditary, and Skinamarink. I would add Martyrs, Antichrist, Lake Mungo, A Tale of Two Sisters, and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Man that movie is so good though. The score and cinematography of that movie is unbelievable, not to mention the stellar cast. I have it on DVD, although it will definitely freak you out for days after a first viewing
In my opinion, Fire Walk with me is one of the most terrifying movies ever. I’m surprised you didn’t put it in the list considering how you’ve reacted to the film.
Bob was absolutely terrifying haunted me for a long time afterwards I mean if I think about it and im home alone I won't sleep im a middle aged adult too.
I know it turned into a bit of a meme when it was released due to all of the attention it got, but Blair Witch Project is a legitimately scary movie. Also, your sister has a point, Uncut Gems might not technically be a horror movie, but watching it is every bit as stressful as any horror movie.
Went on a found footage horror binge with my roommate recently and none of them had me as unnerved as TBWP. It’s really a testament to how less is more when it comes to horror, imo
Weird pick but the lighthouse is one of those movies that Ive only watch during a storm/power outage when I don’t have internet and I always tend to forget how unnerving it is
Good pick, though I find Argento's Deep Red more unsettling than Suspiria. However, the film that gave me the most uneasy feeling of being watched was Avati's The House with Laughing Windows. It's not a scary movie, but it puts you in the protagonist's shoes as he investigates something truly sinister. Fulci's Don't Torture a Duckling has a similar vibe.
TCM was so ahead of its time that it doesn’t even feel old when you watch it today. It feels like a modern film set in the 70s. One of the best for sure
the ring also fucked me up as a kid. gave me nightmares and made me afraid of tvs. i highly recommend a full watch, it holds up and i think you’d love the cinematography.
Barbarian was the last one that really got me, watched it in an empty theater at the tail end of a month long road trip while I was staying in an Airbnb
As a big family guy. Skinamarink made me genuinely tear up listening to the kid cry… I can watch as many random slashers I want and it doesn’t really do anything to me (maybe I’m wack) but bro hearing a kid cry while not having anyone to defend them is literally devastating to me
some people will mock me, but horror is my favorite genre and the film that still haunts me every time is Coraline. It's one of my favorite films ever but oh my god it is so specifically everything I'm afraid of.
I watched Skinamarink with my friends who didn’t take it seriously , as a result they thought it was trash, saying “oh nothing is happening this is stupid” basically laughing at it. I on the other hand fully immersed myself in the film and found it genuinely terrifying.
Thirteen Ghosts is not a particularly great movie but the concept of the house and the look of the ghosts with the strange editing was pretty nightmare fuel as a kid
Kiyoshi Kurosawas films like Cure and Pulse and most recently Chime, have all scared and disturbed me in a way no other movie can at all. Highly reccomend if you haven't seen them.
I think the horror that Kiyoshi Kurosawa can induce is on some other plane, i have enjoyed his non horror stuff too, Serpent's path, Charisma, Bright Future...very interesting and methodic works
These may not all be my favorites but the films that genuinely scared me/made my stomach drop are: Talk to Me Midsommar (adam warlock stuffed with hay fucked me up) The Babadook The Conjuring Funny Games (the scene after the gunshot is one of my favorite scenes in film) Coraline
Used to be a huge wuss until I got into horror around 14 years old, and the first one that got me was Evil Dead (2013). Also watched Sinister not long after and these two are still prob the scariest horror movies for me. Hereditary comes close but these days it takes a lot to genuinely scare me. Hope seeing Longlegs in theaters (probably high af) will live up to the trailers
Last film to get me close to the feeling of scared was Barbarian, specifically the first half. She discovers a secret door in the basement that leads to a mysterious dark tunnel, that being unnerving as is, she discovers a little bit into the tunnel another hidden door that leads down a stone staircase that seems to go down forever into the darkness. With the music score and performance of that scene, it was legit unsettling with the mind racing trying to think about where that tunnel goes and what could be down there. The reveal might kill the film for some but i enjoyed it.
I watched Lake Mungo for the first time last year and it made me feel like a kid watching a horror movie for the first time. Absolute nightmare imagery, and incredibly sad as well. The mockumentary style really contributes to the scares as well.
when u talked about just passively experiencing The Ring, i remembered that Psycho actually prevented me from sleeping at night… i was at universal studios the year before and all i saw was the IMAGE of the knife and the iconic score… that was enough to give me nightmares 😭😭
One of the creepiest and most fascinating horror films is Vampyr (1932). It's very surreal and feels like some arcane creation, as though you've stumbled across the real tape from The Ring.
You're experience with The Ring perfectly mirrors my experience with Alien. Threw it on when I was 7 watched until the chest burster and had to leave, vividly remember the wya I felt that night
Insidious 1 fucked me up & I actually fainted in dark bcoz I think I was seeing faces in dark that's how much it ruined me for a while but now I look back on it as a corny horror movie which had really good jumpscare for its time
Climax scared the shit out of me when i first saw it, and a lot of that has to do with my own personal shit. Also, Possessor was really disturbing and scary as well. I dont think anything has ever scared me the same as when I was like 6 and watched Nightmare on Elm Street though.
Nightmare on Elm Street scarred me when I was 6 as well. Will never forget how I felt as a child, watching the scene where Tina’s body gets dragged all over her bedroom walls and ceiling
Even though The Ring had a number of creepy scenes and effective jumpscares (everyone always references the closet frame), what really got to me was just 'The Tape' and the footage on it. I remember watching that, with the subtle little noises it had, and all I could think about is "I shouldn't be watching this; this feels wrong", which absolutely feeds into the theme or premise of the film itself. I was so paranoid about receiving 'the call'. That movie MESSED me up as a teenager and I had to sleep with the light on for months. The Grudge also did similar things for me as a teen.
I remember Finchers Zodiac scaring me, especially the basement scene made me feel uncomfortable for a while (coming from someone who isn't easily scared by horror films, I think its the fact that the story actually happened is what made it all the more scary)
The only movie that really creeped me out was "the entity" (1982). The idea of being invaded like that and being so absolutely powerless to stop it or fight it. The ambient noise/soundtrack that went with it scared me too. First time a movie ever made me scared of going to sleep that night 😂
The Wailing (2016) terrified me the first time and it became my all time fave horror film. Incantation (2022) might be the most recent horror film that got under my skin.
I know it’s not horror but signs had some good tension build up and since I was only 5 when I watched seeing the Alien found footage at the birthday party scene it stuck with me lol
I watched “Splice” when I was like eight years old because my parents had DVR recorded it to watch themselves and I was home from school that day. I can’t return to it to this day, and seeing images of the creature still makes my skin crawl. Worst part is, I’ve heard the movie is garbage, so if I sucked it up and watched it again as an adult I would probably get over my discomfort.
Not necessarily a horror movie, but Tetsuo: The Iron Man is one of the only movies to make me deeply uncomfortable, so much that I hesitated rewatching it for 10 years.

And before that it's Audition for me.

To quote the greatest horror movie tweet of all time: ‘My 12yo is into scary movies but complained they aren't scary enough so we just watched The Descent and wow you don't always know when you fuck up as a parent but this was a big one.’
I think I was also 12 when my dad showed me The Descent and it was also a mistake on his part, lost an entire bowl of popcorn at THAT jumpscare
Dude for Real xD
Nah, this was a good lesson for the kid- be careful what you wish for.
karsten is looking so french rn
@@yt.byliam still looks like James Franco's long lost brother
@@nms7872 don’t disrespect karst like that 😭
i love that karsten is describing all these horrifying movies while a gromit mug vibes in the background
I immediately knew this video had something to do with the Long Legs hype lol

The Wailing scared me, deeply unsettled me, and in a semi-related way, made me question my faith, genuinely.
I adore it!
facts
SAME
How did it manage to affect your faith?
Oh my god yes! The Wailing needs to be talked about more. Love how they lure you in with the charm and humor and then just descents into hell and took a piece of my souls.

I don't think any movie has scared me as much as Inland Empire
Correct answer
the phantom in the hallway scene is unforgettably terrifying.
i don’t get scared easily but Requiem for a Dream terrified me in a way that made me never want to watch it again
Man that movie is so good though. The score and cinematography of that movie is unbelievable, not to mention the stellar cast. I have it on DVD, although it will definitely freak you out for days after a first viewing
"Come and see" 1985 for me
That movie was awesome. Great great film
In my opinion, Fire Walk with me is one of the most terrifying movies ever. I’m surprised you didn’t put it in the list considering how you’ve reacted to the film.
great call. i saw it in a cinema last year and it was genuinely horrifying. perfect film
Inland empire is the lynch film that’s absolutely fucked to me lol. Fire walk with me while horrifying but nothing compared to inland empire
☕
Bob was absolutely terrifying haunted me for a long time afterwards I mean if I think about it and im home alone I won't sleep im a middle aged adult too.
Talk to Me got me frigged up
same
To me it was Lake Mungo. I'm not easily scared, but that movie caught me off guard, I was afraid to turn off the lights at night for weeks
yess I watch horror movies religiously and for some reason after Lake Mungo I was kept up at night and I can't explain why fr
Pretty out-there movie, but Lake Mungo. Horrifying movie. Had an existential crisis that lasted hours because of that movie ngl
omg i love lake mungo. so underrated
I had only heard someone refer to it as a documentary, so my first viewing was pretty effective
Also my pick, great movie
LAKE MUNGO MENTIONED!!!
Wish I understood the love for this one. I was so bored. I’ll have to give it another watch eventually, maybe I’ll see it differently.
I know it turned into a bit of a meme when it was released due to all of the attention it got, but Blair Witch Project is a legitimately scary movie. Also, your sister has a point, Uncut Gems might not technically be a horror movie, but watching it is every bit as stressful as any horror movie.
Went on a found footage horror binge with my roommate recently and none of them had me as unnerved as TBWP. It’s really a testament to how less is more when it comes to horror, imo
Weird pick but the lighthouse is one of those movies that Ive only watch during a storm/power outage when I don’t have internet and I always tend to forget how unnerving it is
genuinely one of the weirdest movies ive ever watched lol
Them mermaid screeches got me Fs
The original Suspiria has such a chilling soundtrack to it, and just the way that Argento used the green, blue, and red lights- it felt more sinister.
Good pick, though I find Argento's Deep Red more unsettling than Suspiria. However, the film that gave me the most uneasy feeling of being watched was Avati's The House with Laughing Windows. It's not a scary movie, but it puts you in the protagonist's shoes as he investigates something truly sinister. Fulci's Don't Torture a Duckling has a similar vibe.
@@billhaverchuck3745 deep red is a classic!
and Goblin the band is amazing.
0:32 Oldboy.
That's all I gotta say.
Inland Empire and Funny Games, two great films but ones I have absolutely no desire to rewatch, deeply disturbing stuff.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre is surprisingly scary, especially for being 50 years old
It's also suprisingly bloodless. The real Chain Saw Massacre happens in your head.
TCM was so ahead of its time that it doesn’t even feel old when you watch it today. It feels like a modern film set in the 70s. One of the best for sure
It's one of the few old horror films that I actually like. Genuinely scary for sure.
Funny games is a great pick. I have never wanted to throw up while watching a movie until funny games
The original Ring (Ringu) has the creep factor up to 100. The remake is just as good in its own right, a rare thing.
nice mustache karsten
"My sister thinks Parasite is a horror movie" she's right!!!!!!
the ring also fucked me up as a kid. gave me nightmares and made me afraid of tvs. i highly recommend a full watch, it holds up and i think you’d love the cinematography.
It really does hold up astonishingly well!
I know many people talk shit about how pretentious it is, but some of the imagery in Begotten has really seared itself into my head
Barbarian was the last one that really got me, watched it in an empty theater at the tail end of a month long road trip while I was staying in an Airbnb
That’ll do it!
Lol what? 🤣
Barbarian was laughably bad
@@datdude3327 calling barbarian a horror movie is an insult to the genre
@@bamhamerhow come?
As a big family guy.
Skinamarink made me genuinely tear up listening to the kid cry…
I can watch as many random slashers I want and it doesn’t really do anything to me (maybe I’m wack) but bro hearing a kid cry while not having anyone to defend them is literally devastating to me
the ring, the grudge and the others fucked me up as a young adolescent
The Poughkeepsie Tapes (2007). I'd like to un-see that one.
some people will mock me, but horror is my favorite genre and the film that still haunts me every time is Coraline. It's one of my favorite films ever but oh my god it is so specifically everything I'm afraid of.
i literally JUST bought tickets for longlegs lmaoooo
Based
I'm really jealous, it doesn't have a release date here
Seeing a 35mm screening tomorrow I’m so fucking excited
How long are their legs?
How did it go ? @@colinmitchell1276
The Ring is horrifying… I saw it at 8 and have been messed up since
I know it’s not technically horror but The Zone of Interest
Fair
I watched Skinamarink with my friends who didn’t take it seriously , as a result they thought it was trash, saying “oh nothing is happening this is stupid” basically laughing at it. I on the other hand fully immersed myself in the film and found it genuinely terrifying.
Come and See, Fire Walk With Me, Hereditary, Irreversible, The Witch - all films that really rocked me
Haha you had me with "Old", i was genuinely shocked when i heard you mention that😂
The Ring scared the hell out of me when I was in college.
the ritual (2017) had some genuinely scary moments in it that not a lot of movies have been able to replicate
For me itz Skinnamarink, Noroi The Curse, Lake Mungo, The Fourth Kind and The Last Shift
Thirteen Ghosts is not a particularly great movie but the concept of the house and the look of the ghosts with the strange editing was pretty nightmare fuel as a kid
Love these sit down vids
Kiyoshi Kurosawas films like Cure and Pulse and most recently Chime, have all scared and disturbed me in a way no other movie can at all. Highly reccomend if you haven't seen them.

Talk to Me
Midsommar (adam warlock stuffed with hay fucked me up)
The Babadook
The Conjuring
Funny Games (the scene after the gunshot is one of my favorite scenes in film)
Coraline
the perfect kurst drop for tonight, the intro bit had me chuuucklin
Loved this. Thanks for making it.
spit out my drink when you mentioned OLD
would have loved for this to be a main channel vid with editing so we could see what ur referencing while you talk about it

Dude... those evil dead ads fucked me up as a kid but i watched it a couple of years after and its a good movie

Honestly, I barely get terrified by horror movies but... Inside(2007), Martyrs(2008) were something else. French Cinema is incredible fr
Not a horror movie, but no movie has ever messed me up like “irreversible” did. That movie was truly traumatizing
First Reformed ruined my entire week in the best way possible
I watched Lake Mungo for the first time last year and it made me feel like a kid watching a horror movie for the first time. Absolute nightmare imagery, and incredibly sad as well. The mockumentary style really contributes to the scares as well.
Onibaba is one of those older movies that I can appreciate for how often I still think about shots in it, but it didn't do anything for me at the time
when u talked about just passively experiencing The Ring, i remembered that Psycho actually prevented me from sleeping at night…
i was at universal studios the year before and all i saw was the IMAGE of the knife and the iconic score… that was enough to give me nightmares 😭😭
I was literally looking for a video like this 2 weeks ago i’m boutta binge all of these
Suspira is the movie that messed me up and made me realize every other horror I've seen will probably not be as grotesque as suspira
Besides Hereditary and paranormal activity (childhood trauma) I would say Incantation (2022) and When Evil Lurks made me shit my pants.
I thought green room was genuinely scary. Rlly got my adrenaline going
One of the creepiest and most fascinating horror films is Vampyr (1932). It's very surreal and feels like some arcane creation, as though you've stumbled across the real tape from The Ring.
You're experience with The Ring perfectly mirrors my experience with Alien. Threw it on when I was 7 watched until the chest burster and had to leave, vividly remember the wya I felt that night
I almost find it weird that you didn't include Lake Mungo, it would seem like a movie for you. Judging by watching ur channel 4 a while haha;))
The original Ringu disturbed me for a long time, and I was in my 30s 😂
Insidious 1 fucked me up & I actually fainted in dark bcoz I think I was seeing faces in dark that's how much it ruined me for a while but now I look back on it as a corny horror movie which had really good jumpscare for its time
My mom thought cocaine bear was too scary and almost walked out in the theater when we saw it ☠️
I think of The Blair Witch Project on a near daily basis
Nothing has truly fucked me up as much as watching alien when I was young. Everything about it is just unsettling to the core
Speaking of Onibaba, Kuroneko is pretty darn scary as well.
This video is my favorite scary movie, the ending was especially a real shocker
Thank God there is still some love for Skinamarink.
Pendas Fen is one that really disturbs me to be honest, a must watch if you love horror, very underrated
Climax scared the shit out of me when i first saw it, and a lot of that has to do with my own personal shit. Also, Possessor was really disturbing and scary as well. I dont think anything has ever scared me the same as when I was like 6 and watched Nightmare on Elm Street though.

I saw The Ring when it came to Sky Movies in like 2004, I was 8 years old and I CANNOT watch that film to this day. Scarred me as a kid.
To be fair, when the guy comes up the stairs at night. It’s a horror movie 😅.
I know it’s not horror but signs had some good tension build up and since I was only 5 when I watched seeing the Alien found footage at the birthday party scene it stuck with me lol

The way I heard a record scratch when u included Old
i had a similar experience but w the grudge as a kid haha
Perfect blue had me shook
i too would say funny games. extremely disturbing and scary.
Skinamarink SHOOK me
Good list
I really love the original Chainsaw Massacre
i would also add Sinister 2 or the killing of a sacred deer here
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 1997 film 'Cure' is a deeply unsettling, but brilliant, watch.
“When Evil Lurks” is the most memorable modern horror movie for me. Would probably be my favorite if I spoke fluent Spanish 😅
Hilarious The ring was also my first scare and the intro really scared the shit outta my brother and me
It may not be a horror film but Come And See really messed me up so I think it’s worth a mention.
Funny Games made me feel hopeless and empty in a way few other movies have
This is gonna sound crazy but the visit creeped me out more than hereditary
the first frame of this video is actually scary
"Wouldst thou wish to live deliciously?"
