We all either love horror films, or hate horror films. What's that film that kept you up at night? The one that you re-watch all the time? The one that made you groan at 'the big reveal'?

Favourite: Evil Dead (2013). It was just insane, wonderfully gory and made you wanna squirm.

Least favourite: Sharkenstein (2016). Watching this film, I gained a new appreciation for Meet The Spartans.

Juon. Not the American remake The Grudge, the Japanese version.

In the Japanese version, the house felt like a normal, everyday house, and that’s what made everything scarier. It was lit like a normal house, unlike the American version.

Also, that scene were Toshio, the ghost child, is on every floor as the elevator went up literally had me backing up trying to get away, it creeped me out that much. Juon had so much subtle horror like that, along with the big scares.

And as for least favorite, I guess the Saw movies. I never much liked the torture porn genre. I prefer being creeped out than grossed out.

Juon for me as well. Masterful visuals with a minimalistic story. Nothing convoluted. Just simple, perfect horror.
