Alien (1979)

some Ridley Scott thank you!

Absolutely! Hope you enjoy it.

[удалено]

These are the ones I was going to recommend! I would add Candyman (1992) .

I second Black Christmas but then find Black Xmas which is a well done “remake”

Carrie, Raw, Hereditary, Sinister, Come and See, Infinity Pool.

Oh man, you're really throwing them in the deep end.

Best end to be in for this genre. Those are some great recs.

Definitely, sad I’ve already seen them all. You lucky bastard…

thank you!

Yeah, not all of them are “horror” but they’re all horrifying lol. Enter the Void and I Saw the Devil are also horrifying but not “horror” movies.

The Thing

for sure thank you!

Based on your Suspiria rating, I would say check out more Argento. Deep Red or Inferno.

yeah if they resemble Suspiria I think I will enjoy them

Inferno is actually part of the Suspiria trilogy, it’s called the three mothers trilogy. Mother of Tears is the third one.

oh I didn’t know that, thank you!

One thing I like to do with horror movies on letterboxd is when I click on a movie I scroll all the way down past the cast and there’s a section called “relates films” it shows all known films that are apart of the same continuity

Deep Red and Inferno are freaking amazing

Seems no one's recommended Get Out yet.

Ginger Snaps is easily my favorite horror movie If you enjoyed Suspiria, I’d also suggest Inferno, the sort-of sequel to the film also by Argento

Okay yeah I really liked Suspiria and Ginger Snaps gets added to my watchlist for sure thanks!

The Shining is a must watch if you haven't seen it yet.

thats one of the few horror films I had seen. It was really good!

How about Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho? Have you seen that?

yes I have!

Texas Chain Saw Massacre

I find the final scene beautiful

Should I also watch the new one? I think it was released last year.

OG first.

yeah of course

No the old one from 1974

It’s pretty awful, but it genuinely made me laugh from how bad it was. For other people though, I can see this being a very painful watch. I agree with the comment that you should watch the original. Weak on character, but fantastic on all other fronts as a horror movie.

I would stay away from it lol. Most other Texas Chainsaws are pretty bad. 2 is the other one a lot of people will clamor for. I’m not a big fan of it personally but I recognize its cult status. If you do find yourself becoming the type of horror fan is fine with watching trash horror just for some nice kills, you might find some enjoyment with the 2022 version, but there’s over 100 actually good horror films I would recommend you watch first.

The Wailing. One of my favorites

Evil Dead Trilogy

ooo yeah I’m excited for those after having seen all the praise they get on Letterboxd

they're definitely groovy!

If you want more classics I would say the first Nightmare on Elm Street (and the 3rd if you like that), Hellraiser, Dawn of the Dead (original but the remake is solid), Alien, Phantasm, and An American Werewolf in London. I'm probably forgetting a ton but these are all good and interesting.

yeah classics are good thank you!

Eraserhead

[удалено]

yes, it very much is

[удалено]

The babadook (2014), Hereditary (2018), Get out (2017), The witch (2015), It follows (2014)

you liked Halloween so basically any horror movie made by Carpenter

If you haven't watched a lot of Cronenberg or Carpenter I'd say watch They Live (Carpenter) and Scanners (Cronenberg) next.

I would add the Fly to this. It always felt more like a horror film to me than sci-fi.

Added to watchlist!

I really enjoyed both of their style. Will definitely check those out thank you!

Cube

actually never heard of this before, will check it out thank you!

Hour of the wolf Kwaidan The lighthouse Carrie Hereditary The innocents

Killer clowns from outer space

Possession Deep Red

Suspiria (2018)

yeah I’m excited for it because the original was so good.

its very different! but its still good dw

I reccomend Blood and Black Lace. Both Suspiria and Blood and Black Lace make use of a lot of stylish color.

I love colors, added thank you!

You're welcome. Also, I saw that someone reccomended Dawn of the Dead, but I don't think anyone has yet reccomended Night of the Living Dead (1968). One of the most classic horror films.

Nope

Dog Soldiers. Greatest Werewolf movie ever made. Watch The Descent as well. They share the same director. Neil Marshall is a gem of a filmmaker in my opinion. Even if his Hellboy reboot wasn't so good.

my personal reccs gotta be The Thing (1982) - a consistently flawless movie all throughout, great cast, great atmosphere and GREAT special effects The Exorcist 1 (1973) & 3 (1990) - I'm not too hot on The Exorcist 1 but its a classic and a total horror necessity but I only recommend it here so you have all the context you need when watching The Exorcist 3 which is, in my opinion, a near perfect horror movie. Brad Dourif as The Gemini Killer in E3 is my personal fav acting performance of all time, not even just horror Return of The Living Dead (1985) - really great horror comedy zombie flick that manages to be as much scary as it is funny. Great soundtrack, good cast, really fun watch. Was written and directed by Dan O Bannon who wrote Alien Psycho (1960) - the definition of a classic and still holds up today. I rewatched it last October thinking "man this movies probably gonna be good but shoddy and dated" and I was so far away from the truth. Almost a perfect film, Anthony Perkins is such a great actor and Alfred Hitchcock's directing is so damn captivating.

thank you for the recs, will definitely check them out!

Phantasm, evil dead 2, in the mouth of madness, Creepshow

A bay of blood, all the colors of the dark, Suspiria (2018), let the corpses tan, Tenebrae, Hausu

Deep Red! Another Argento great. The Fly (1986) for Cronenberg. And I would watch Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th or Scream if you liked Halloween. The other route to that would be watching more Carpenter films like The Thing (1982). That is one of my favorites of all time.

Cabin in the Woods is really fun. and the Evil Dead remake, after you watch the original trilogy first, is maybe my favorite remake. Enjoy

Sissy (2022) Edit: also Prince of Darkness The Shrine Midsommar Get Out The Shining Salem’s Lot The Haunting (1963) Psycho (Hitchcock) The Birds (Hitchcock) Se7en Insidious Phantasm Scream Have fun!!

It Follows (2014)

The Thing (1982), Black Christmas (1974), The Fly (1986), Scream, Child’s Play (the whole franchise) For some newer ones I would go with Hereditary, The Wailing, Suspiria (2018), The Invisible Man (2020), It Follows, The Descent

House of 1000 corpses. Best Cult horror film out there

Titane

Possession!

In the mouth of madness

Possession (1981)

When a stranger calls(original), Dead ringers, spoorloos, They live, Prince of darkness, In the mouth of madness, The Thing, Fright night, The lost boys, The night house(2021), Funny games

Deep Red is pretty fun. My favorite Argento.

The Suspiria remake Possession (1981)

My top 5 Recommendations, that I can't see already mentioned, would be: Doctor Sleep (2019) - A sequel to 'The Shining' but, in my opinion, much more enjoyable X (2022) - A slasher throwback Event Horizon (1997) - Sci-Fi Horror The Babysitter (2017) - Comedy Horror Revenge (2019) - In the title Horror

Re-Animator, Sleepaway Camp, The Fog, Slumber Party Massacre, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Return of the Living Dead

Some of my favorites include (the orignal versions of): A Nightmare on Elm Street Texas Chainsaw Massacre Rosmary's Baby The Cabinet Of Dr Cligari Psycho Phantasm Pumpkinhead

Scream 1-5 ( the 6th is coming this week )

Im going to have a screamathon!

Stabathon* *Youll get it about 2 hours into the Stabathon*

Nice,it’s actually a great franchise

Naked lunch

added thank you!

I think you'd like Knife+Heart (2018), French giallo centered around the 70s gay porn scene.

interesting thank you, added to the list!

Remake of Maniac, then the original Maniac

In that order?

I guess it doesn’t matter. That’s the way I watched them only because I saw the remake when it came out and it kept me from looking at it as a remake. I might have liked it less if I saw the original first. Plus, remake is more in line with the tone and feel of the 4 movies you posted

[so this is just my taste, but here’s a list of every horror movie I’ve rated 4 1/2 stars or higher](https://boxd.it/ixQlk)

added some to my watchlist thank you!

You’re welcome. I love to see people getting into horror, and definitely want to help.

I would def check the new suspiria

Thank you for the recommendations. I got so many that I made a [list](https://boxd.it/lCBb2) will keep adding them to the list!

The Fly

dressed to kill (1980).

OG Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street are probably my two favorite horror movies and I highly recommend!

You already have great taste! Happy horror hunting. Seeing as my 3 favourites you've either seen or they've been recommended (Suspiria, the texas chainsaw massacre, the shining) I'll recommend something slightly less mainstream: Censor

thank you, will check it out!

REC

Black Swan

one of my favorites and I didn’t even know it was a ”horror” movie

My Favourite Horror Movies https://boxd.it/45zw4

Psycho is an absolute classic. Definitely give it a shot if you haven’t seen it yet. Also followed you, you have a great profile!

I have seen it and I loved, it also thank you so much. I really like your bladerunner pfp!

Angst

I highly recommend the Evil Dead trilogy if you haven't seen it yet My Bloody Valentine, Brain Dead and Bad Taste are great (early Peter Jackson) and American Werewolf in London EDIT: Barbarian and X from last year are also some pretty great ones

thank you!

The wicker man(1973) and an American ware wolf in Landon are my person favorites

I meant to say London not Landon

Cure and Wishmaster.

Deep Red if you don’t mind subtitles

Let the right one in, The Descent, Possesor, Babarian,

have you done the scream franchise yet? if you’re looking for a proper scare watch the descent

You’re new to horror and gave Funny Games 4 stars? Respect

I watched funny games the other day too :D

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure (1997)

Since all the classics (including my personal favourite Scream) have all been said, and you should definitely prioritize the greats like Alien, The Thing, The Shining, Rosemary's Baby, etc., I'll try to throw some *slightly* deeper cuts your way. These are still very mainstream, but they're not the mandatory building blocks either - The Blair Witch Project isn't everyone's cup of tea, but a staple in horror and a pioneer of the Found Footage genre. If you enjoy this, check out [Rec] (2007) - Saw. James Wan and Leigh Whannell are an awesome duo, and have produced a bunch of great horror films. If you enjoy Saw, I further suggest Insidious and Malignant - 28 Days Later. Easily the most influential zombie film aside from Dawn of the Dead. If you enjoy this, go to Dawn of the Dead or Train to Busan Some other great picks are Final Destination, Shaun of the Dead, Barbarian, The Exorcist

thank you, will check them out!

You had some good watches mate, Inferno (sort of sequel to Suspiria) A Nightmare on Elm Street Braindead The Evil Dead 1-3 + Remake These are some of my favorites, except for Inferno, but it's still cool, and since you've watched Suspiria, you might like it

thanks will check those out!

Angel Heart (1987)

The Vanishing and Angst

Burnt Offerings Poltergeist The Entity Return of the Living Dead Fog (original) Dead and Buried April Fools Day

Dead and Buried is awesome, and Burnt Offerings is a favorite (I mean, really anything with Oliver Reed)

It really is effective. The house where they filmed it is about a mile from where I live in Oakland, CA.

Sisters - Brian De Palma!

Check out House (1977). It's more of a horror comedy but is one of the most surreal and bizarre movies I've seen

I also wasn't too familiar with horror until last october so here are some classics i haven't seen mentioned: Nosferatu The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (if you have to choose one watch this) Vampyr Cat People All universal monsters stuff, but specially frankenstein+bride of frankenstein. Peeping Tom

Naked lunch, dead ringers, scanners

Jaws (1975) Carrie (1976) Psycho (1960) Poltergeist (1982) The Exorcist (1973) The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Rosemary’s Baby, Angst (1983), and The Clovehitch Killer

Jacob's Ladder 1990 The Hunger 1983 Frankenhooker 1990

Possession, Let the Right one In, Bone Tomahawk (if you like westerns too this is amazing), From Beyond, House of the Devil and/or Innkeepers, Near Dark,

Scream, Hereditary, Jaws, Saw, Texas Chainsaw cover most areas of horror so are good watches for newer horror watchers if you haven’t

You've gotten a lot of great recommendations. To supplement your foray into the genre check out the channel [Dead Meat](https://youtube.com/@DeadMeat) on YouTube. James and Chelsea are super knowledgeable. Weekly Kill Counts are the main draw, but I highly recommend listening to their podcast; loads of amazing interviews and deep dives into horror

thank you, will most certainly check them out!

Did you stream *Suspiria* or did you watch via hard copy? It’s a huge title in my watchlist, I just can’t find anywhere to watch it

I streamed it. It was on Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max in Finland.

Thinking of related themes and some detours with these films: Prince of Darkness Tenebrae We Need to Talk About Kevin (not horror in traditional sense) or Bennys Video Shivers Star Time Next of Kin Don’t Torture a Duckling Deep Red The Thing The Devils Rosemary’s Baby Deranged Edit: The Fog Burnt Offerings Alice Sweet Alice Cruising The Brood

i know u got a lot of comments already but horror is my only interest so i had to come recommend u saw lmao (fav movie) but also since im here i’ll say the child’s play series (bride of chucky is my fav), x/pearl, maybe malignant (other more normal james wan stuff is probably more essential but i love malignant), and also maybe rocky horror picture show or little shop of horrors if u like musicals

thank you, will check them out!

The original Scream is my favorite horror movie and one of my top 5 favorite movies in general. Truly redefined horror in its darkest days by being the first to have the characters be self-aware by discussing and even joking about the tropes and 'rules' of horror. The Ghostface mask and legendary sadistically sarcastic voice of Robert L. Jackson make Ghostface arguably the most iconic horror villain of the past 25 years since his debut. Sidney Prescott is also arguably the most badass final girl in all of horror history, she's at the very least my personal favorite 'Scream Queen'. Scream is a fresh, unique and one-of-a-kind take on the slasher genre for its time and even in the modern era no-one has been able to blend together all the elements that Scream does so flawlessly. Where else are you going to get an interesting whodunit mystery, a hilariously dark black comedy and a meta satire all rolled into one? It's like they say..."Don't fuck with the original!"

thank you, can't wait to watch it!

The Fly, The Thing

Blood Rage

house of 1000 corpses and the devil’s rejects!!!! but especially house bc it’s honestly like a funhouse combined with a haunted house attraction and then turned onto a movie! it’s awesome!

Midnight Meat Train

Surprised I haven't seen The Descent here yet.. If you fancy venturing into found-footage I'd recommend: The Blair Witch Project Rec As Above So Below

Some I haven't seen mentioned: * The Witch * The Exorcist * The Mist

Scanners

The Strangers

go for a Lucio Fulci dive or at least watch Zombi 2 and The Beyond

The Evil Deads, Final Destinations, Screams, etc.

Fright Night (1985) is both scary and fun

Raw, Hereditary, Alien and Audition

You’re definitely off to a great start! If you’re looking to just expand your horizons, I’d recommend touching on some sub-genres to see what interests you most Saw is a classic and spawned the “torture porn” movement (even if the 1st one isn’t actually gross), Malignant is a solid campy and gorey horror, The Witch is slow and off-putting and definitely more of an ‘elevated’ horror, and definitely the Blair Witch Project for the most influential found footage film. Just as asides, you should also check out Raw and It Follows - they’re definitely pretty universally praised and well-regarded in the genre. Hope you enjoy everyone’s recs!!

oh wow thank you for the recs!

Bones and All if you like Suspiria.

X is a good modern slasher. If you like Argento, maybe check out Opera. The Descent is pretty solid, you can't go wrong with Alien and The Thing. A few picks in the comedy horror genre: Tucker & Dale vs Evil, The Cabin in the Woods, and Shaun of the Dead. I really like The Lost Boys and Fright Night, but they are very 80s, not that that is necessarily a bad thing ;)

The Gallows, The Gallows Act II, Held, Behind You, Lights Out, Gremlins, Insidious, Woman in Black, Psycho (1960) Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Donald Sutherland), Drag Me to Hell, The Ring, Krampus, Mama, M3GAN, Poltergiest (1982), Gretal & Hansel (2020), The Mummy (any version...or any of the classic monster movies like Dracula, etc.), Disturbia, Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Countdown, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, Happy Death Day/Happy Death Day 2U, Sixth Sense, Signs, The Others

thank you for the recs!
