Idk, but definitely not this cringe ass PSA stretched into a full length flick. Occasionally it's comically bad.

Dude I've tried watching a number of famous and fairly recent horror movies and almost none of them are scary unless it's well done aliens or haunting.
The Fourth Kind, Dark Skies, for alien movies
Paranormal Activity series for hauntings. And Insidious...and Sinister.
There you go, that's like all the scary movies. You know what wasn't scary at all that I saw recently? The Descent. That movie was not scary at all.
>>
>>219775429
There isn't any. A normal adult will never be scared by passively watching some silly scenes on the screen. Certainly not if you've been exposed to tons of similar movies and don't make any attempt to immerse yourself. You want scary, you're going to need to play a horror game, with no lights on, headphones, and the sound up.

I really don't get this film because all the behind the scenes seem really fucking sincere that this was a PSA. The director especially seems really sincere about the point of it. And yet it very quickly descend into the writer's barely disguised fetish.

there’s a lot of genuinely scary movies out there but keep in mind that “scary horror movie” does not actually translate to “good horror movie”
some of the scariest movies out there are actually extremely mid in every other aspect aside from how effective they are at being scary
Some examples are Shelby Oaks and Undertone.

If we are talking media in general, the aggrotech aesthetic and the musical genre itself can be somewhat scary. Here's just a random schizo who uploaded a music video with the keyword in the description:

basically, humans feel fear when they are in danger. since you're not in actual danger while watching a movie, the only way that movies will scare you is if you're willing to make yourself feel in danger by letting yourself become immersed in the film and letting yourself feel fear. to put it simply, you are not some tough badass because a fake movie isn't scary, you're just a dimwit

Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch spooked me
There’s something about a video game (or at least, the ability to choose) that is a hell if a lot scarier than a film. Like if I control the character, I am a lot more anxious than if I’m just watching a character make decisions
they need to make more choose your own adventure horror

>>219776178
Okay, but I feel the overlap must be massive. If a movie succeeds in being scary, I feel like it also must have succeeded in other things like acting, pacing, and editing, because these are all things that contribute to whether a movie is scary or not. If those elements are bad and take you out of the experience, you can't really get that scared.
I kinda get what you mean, because if you ask me what horror movie is the best and what's the scariest, I'll have different answers, but I can't imagine watching a horror movie, being scared, and not thinking it's at least good.

>>219776503
No. Surviving Edged Weapons is a knife crime service video originally for law enforcement, it just happens to be kino because the scenarios are well shot.
Megan is Missing is weird, the acting is super bad and on par with a Christian video about the dangers of drinking, talking online, premarital sex etc. But then the rape and torture stuff feel really seedy, especially given the cringe acting and stuff that came before it. When the girl is getting raped and the perpetrator's hand is placed near the camera, we see virgin blood. Like okay? The director seemed adamant and sincere that this was about dangers of the internet, they seemed like a real genuine person but then the rape and horror aspect feels like someone's perverted muderous sex fetish.
Imagine if you were watching a film about I dunno, drug addiction, by some Christian group, and the acting was all cringe, don't do drugs my man, type dialogue, down with the kids etc. Then near the end, one of the kids gets violently raped because he did drugs and made wrong decisions. And you just watch some cringe actor being pounded. It would feel weird and jarring.
Either you make a PSA or make a horror movie.

Go on Youtube and watch some of the interviews where the director (Michael Goi) talks about the film. He has a career as a cinematographer and has filmed a bunch of TV shows and films over the years. He seems very soft spoken, calm and sincere about the subject and this being a PSA which he researched. He wrote it in 10 days, shot in 8 and a half days, with actresses ranging in age from 13-17 on a budget of $35,000. And yet the gratuitous stuff in the film feels fully like a pervy exploitation film. Not a career cinematographer's PSA.

Only Victorian ghost stories are scary.
Horror as a genre isn't supposed to be a scary genre.
>>
>>219776394
I wouldn't call The Poughkeepsie Tapes or the original Child's Play masterpieces just because they're the only movies that ever managed to scare me nor would I think The Shining or The Exorcist are any less of masterpieces just because I didn't think they were all that scary when everything else about them is perfectly done and I can confidently say they would've been worse movies without all the horror elements and so would a lot of other movies. But I guess this difference in attitude explains why ratings are usually all over the place for horror compared to other genres.

I'm too desensitized at this point, my first proper horror movie was Saw 2 at like 10 and it scared that shit out of me but now that over the top gory stuff just looks goofy. My best scares were with REC 1 and 2, then I started being more and more numb towards horror stuff, which is a shame because I'd like to feel that thrill again sometimes

If you prefer a femdom bdsm relationship watch the Finnish film Dogs Don’t Wear Pants, however she’s a much crueler mistresswho makes her sub remove a tooth as an act of benediction then, and only then can she commit and trust. She probably cucks him after the credit rolls.

If you can get past the found footage meme its a genuinely scary flick. A group of adventurers illegally spelunk below the catacombs of paris to look for the tomb of nicholas flamel and his philospher's stone. Then they pass through a narrow hole above which are inscribed the following words: "Abandon all hope, you who passes through here."

It depends. Once you are an adult is not about what is scary but instead what makes you feel on the edge, constantly anxious about what is going to happen. Therefore, A movie just like terrifier 2 just hits the nail for me. There are also Martyrs, The House That Jack Built, and Antichrist, which are very difficult to watch and that I don’t want to see again. They leave you with a sense of unease after watching them, and, in my opinion, it’s almost the same feeling you get when watching a scary movie as a child.
>>
>>219787695
That's your opinion. I think it is, because there's all kinds of sadness and death and unexpected mysterious happenings and you don't know if you're ever going to get an explanation of what's going on and things escalate sharply with no warning or foreshadowing. I went into it blind, which I'm quite sure added to my experience of it.

Sinister has a real solid atmosphere, and the super-8 films are kind of unnerving. Love Ulver too, recognized a few tracks when I watched it for the first time not too long ago.

Picrel was excellent. Escalates the sense of danger steeply and relentlessly, so that even before things start to go physically wrong for the characters, you feel like they are walking into an absolute meat grinder.

cucking is a milestone of masoch's fantasy, not femdom as a whole. i'm in that camp so i understand it, but i also know there are alternatives. some people are strongly monogomous and find it repulsive, but they can still enjoy bdsm and flr.
it's also not endgame. it goes further.

The only movies that caused viceral fear for me was the Chucky movies but that fear kinda burned off of me as I grew older and realized the sequels literally became comedy movies. That movie relies on the premise of jumpscares and the fact inanimate small objects becoming easily concealed killing machines is something we can't really defend against in normal settings.
I think the only thing that invokes fear is things that invoke your primal prey fear response. As you grow older you realize there is nothing that can really harm us as humans. Even bears are scared of us as humans and the standard protocol even against a grizzly or polar bear is to wave your hands like a madman and yell wildly like a barbarian to freak the fuck out of them. Running gets you killed instantly.
Even light hearted movies like the gremlins have scary parts like when the woman is searching cabinets while 'can you hear what I hear' plays in the background for this reason. Tiny + lethal + easily hidden (jumpscares) makes horror.
>>
>>219784330
I really liked this movie. I don't remember finding it as terrifying as other horrors I love, mostly because some of the acting isn't great. It's not atrocious either and I like the Mad Men jew okay, but I never shit my pants like in Hereditary. The premise is really dope and visually it's awesome and claustrophobic, and it got me really intrigued in the catacombs IRL and I've spent a couple dozen hours looking through them on Youtube since, but I think the movie was really fun more than scary. Good for the genre because 90% of horror is garbage storytelling and it is hard to write it right, but this had a simple enough premise that nothing about it seemed challenging or deeply unbelievable beyond the supernatural aspect of it. All of the tropey stupid decision making in Horror is usually just stupid and tropey, but here these guys are explorers and probably some level of adrenaline junkie, so the decisions are sometimes dangerous but within their character realistically.
Also I found a fan edit if it called the Catacombs Cut, I can't remember what is different about it and I haven't watched it yet but I think it includes a deleted scene or two. Maybe I will watch tonight.

I thought the first one was scary, but I guess I was 14 or 15 and hadn't really been into the genre. The second one was okay but everything after that was trash imo. And I really watched them all. Unless there has been a new one in like the last 5 years.

I worship Korne, and therefore find 'horror' to be a nuisance. I try to enjoy it, but something is always silly or totally irrational and it makes me not care anymore.
There's things that are disturbing to watch (the execution in bone tomahawk for example) but gore porn and 'horror' are not that same thing. I've never seen or watched anything that made me want to turn off the screen.

Something about ghost photography always gets me. It's why Fatal Frame is my favorite video franchise and why I love watching found footage type movies, so this movie really scratched the perfect itch for me and I honestly can't think of many other movies with a jump scare that got me as good as that end scene. Say what you will about the acting or the story or the pace, but if nothing else that scene is a masterclass in building tension. And for that, Lake Mungo deserves the recognition it gets IMO.

>>219793573
I watched it recently. The content is fucked up but the presentation is corny, like a made for TV movie. It does not have the same feel nowadays. Also more people know about Junko and Likens now, making this slightly less shocking because you have a heads up about the depths of the depravity you're about to witness.

I don't know about that. Horror movies have notoriously been poorly acted for example, because the audience doesn't need to care about dumb bitch dying #9.

It was literally just some bitch summoning labubu by listening to ba ba rainbow sheep backwards. Then a bunch of babies crying while some fag rattles off backrooms and scp tier lore. And then her dead mom just chilling in the background a couple of times while thick room tone plays. Oh no help me! The pipe bonging sound was a dead baby in a sack!!

I think my number one issue with it is that it looked overly polished for found footage, but I thought it was really good and fun anyways. I also haven't seen a ton of found footage, the only ones I can think of are Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity (1), and V/H/S 1 and 2, which all had way smaller budgets than As Above, So Below. At least I'm assuming. But I as a sort of fan with an underexposure to the genre, I think that small budget aesthetic is the core style of found-footage.
Idk why I said all that I'm kind of high but yeah it is a really cool movie

Lake Mungo is a hard movie to shake. It's scary in a deep existential kind of way, unlike almost any other horror movie. It's also just... sad. Leaves you with fear and depression. Weird mix of emotions in this one that makes you uneasy long after it's over.

The Wailing really got into my soul and I'll be honest, it really fucked me up. Not only is it just a brilliant and tense movie, but it hit me on a deeper spiritual level. I don't expect anyone else to be hit by it like I was. But it really started to make me question if God and the devil are real and if I was being deceived by forces that I couldn't understand. I seriously couldn't shake it for months. Not just the movie itself, but the deeper questions of evil, deception, faith, etc. I could honestly say that I went from being an atheist to getting baptized because of this movie. I doubt anyone else will go through that same religious journey, but it's a great movie on its own.

Veronica (2017) was a really scary movie that sadly flew under the radar. It's by the director of REC which is another terrifying movie. Veronica seems like a typical ouija board, possession, ghost movie, but it's done extremely well with great characters. I was damn-near 40 years old when I watched it and I was afraid to walk down my hallway like I was a kid. Hard to find horror movies that still give you that feeling, but this one got me.

It's incredibly well-written, lots of layers. It starts off almost a little goofy with a bumbling cop, but slowly pulls you into a web where you don't know what the fuck is going on.

We never get many of those nowadays.

I loved the first couple. I know it became kind of a pop culture sensation eventually and released a new movie every year for a while, but when it first came out I think it was kind of ground breaking, wasn't it? I know Blair Witch was like the original found footage hit (at least that is what I think) and Paranormal #1 kinda felt like its first true spiritual successor in style I guess? Is any of that true or am I ignorant

Agreed, 3rd is good too. I once got recommended a video review from some random asshole on YT and he said he didn't like it because the sound of footsteps was obviously the production crew just stomping on the floor boards off-screen like... yeah? It's a movie you fucking autist, Bruce Willis didn't really cut his feet on glass in Die Hard either. I can understand thinking if the CGI or SFX you see on screen looks too low quality as that's very easy to notice but complaining about cheap but effective sound effects is nuts. The stabbing sounds from Psycho was just from a knife cutting into a casaba melon but you probably wouldn't notice it without being told.
Moviemaking is all about tricking your audience into accepting what they see and hear is real despite knowing that it isn't. Paranormal Activity/Blair Witch showed what you can do with horror on a shoestring budget without ever showing the invisible force of evil directly if you just get a little creative. PA isn't quite as good as TBWP though but it's still solid.

The lingering feeling you get is from the eerie scenario, usually a centerpiece of Victorian ghost stories. And the tragic aspect of it is an element of Victorian ghost stories too.
Lake Mungo is like a mashup of two separate ghost stories:
The Signalman by Charles Dickens and
The Lake by Ray Bradbury
If you want more weird, sad stories like it you should delve into weird fiction, Mr Arcularis by Conrad Aiken, The Bus by Shirley Jackson, The School Friend by Robert Aickman, and The Emissary by Ray Bradbury.
These type of emotions are easier to convey in fiction but somehow always fail to be properly translated to movies.

Yea I watched it in a tv stream maybe the first one too. Times were comfy then.

This is how a majority of the genre feels to me, because the scariest and most immersive part in obviously the tension building up to the conclusion; usually once I can physically see what the fret looks like, whether thats a monster or a person or a demon, the adrenaline drops like 80%, so I think conclusions are really hard to nail in Horror. The entire format is about the build up so the conclusion often feels empty in comparison I think

Thanks for the reading recommendations. I'm checking some of them out. Yeah it can be argued that there's only a handful of stories and formulas and every movie falls into one of them. That's the basis of alot of screenwriting books like Save the Cat and even shit like Joseph Campbell. While there's probably a lot of truth to it, I think it's that type of thinking that is ruining a lot of movies nowadays and that's why so many feel ineffective. You can sense what's going to happen largely because they actively adhere to these formulas that we're all used to. That's why I think there's a lot of found footage movies and foreign movies in this thread. Even though they might even adhere to a familiar formula (those handful of stories), there's a different sensibility to them, something we're not too familiar with. And a big part of effective horror is that unknown mystery aspect that's unfamiliar. I think it's why a lot of westerners have been gravitating towards shit from Japan, South Korea, little indie movies, etc. I kind of drifted off topic, but these effective emotions are still there in movies, very rare though because they're not found in the mainstream much.

Eden Lake is one of the few movies that I still recoil at watching even though I’ve seen it a handful of times. Very mean spirited, real grit, raw tension. It’s funny because I’d go as far as to say I hate watching it but once a year or so I really want to put myself through it again. Truly bleak kino.

My fellow uneasy tension chads, you should both check out Speak No Evil if you haven’t already. The McAvoy remake is okay in places, but lacks the gut-punches and feels a bit too polished overall. Still worth a go, but the original made me feel fucking dreadful, I had to watch a comedy afterwards and felt like I needed to shower. Haven’t been that stressed out by a movie in a long time.
Also, Ich Seh Ich Seh might be worth your times too.

It's used as a jumpscare in the context of the film.

>>219778959I wasn't sure while watching it if Josh was meant to still be watching Megan on the webcam get her clothes out for the party but I don't think she showed the hairclip so there's no other way unless this hello fellow kids guy really was just there shopping.

that image reminds me of a video I saw of a tranny wearing bdsm gear and a leather face mask, he had like a transparent sink thing going and somebody shit and pissed into it, then dissolved the shit with the piss before unclogging the sink leading to the tranny being forced to drink the shitpiss cocktail and he did, all of it.
It's one of the most cursed videos I've ever seen and I can't believe these people are sharing the same planet as the rest of us, I can't believe they're human beings. Truly depraved in a sick kind of way that shouldn't exist outside of movies that do this stuff specifically to be edgy and gross

I thought Hereditary did a good job of creating an unsettling atmosphere and building a sense of dread until the end when it went off the rails
