What are the scariest horror movies? (self.asklemmy)

I love horror but apparently I don't vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I'd seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn't find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn't the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn't like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

Blair Witch

I'm glad I knew the ending was disappointing before going in.

It hit on a very specific fear of mine that I have difficulty putting into words. The fear of developing a fear or maybe the fear of becoming superstitious?

It’s an interesting movie. In a lot of ways it’s annoying or underwhelming and not much actually happens, but I actually loved the ending.

Tap for spoiler

The way the entire film, from the lore that was set up in the early interviews, was all brought together instantly in a single iconic five-second shot blew me away. It stuck with me for a long time.
