Based on kid me who hasn’t seen it again since, Fire In The Sky.
A more recent one, It Follows, not because it’s some groundbreaking horror or amazing movie, but the dread of a force so unstoppable and inevitable that you can’t get away from it no matter what you do is what makes it scary to me. I had dreams after watching it where something is chasing me but I can’t remember even looking back or seeing it. And you know how running in dreams works right? It doesn’t. So I had to do the grab the ground and pull yourself forward move to run away. Anyone who has tried running in their dream knows what I’m talking about.
Alien. It’s the pinnacle of horror movies. And what makes it so good is the believability of it all. There is no supernatural, no ghosts, no masked mass murderers, no silly “monsters” that defy all the laws of biology and physics.
The way the alien grows before it has a chance to eat anything defies biology and physics.
Twin Peaks when Bob climbs over the couch towards the camera. I was extremely uncomfortable like he was actually looking at me and was going climb through the TV screen.
Idiocracy.
It’s rare for me to find a movie that actually scares me, but Sinister is one that really make me feel afraid. The soundtrack alone does it for me
Pan’s Labyrinth
Creep was possibly the only movie to move the dial.
Smile and Barbarian were scary.
