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.
A few have mentioned Hereditary already so I’ll give an honorable mention to Dark Skies with Keri Russel.
My absolute favorites are mostly your standard entries that you’ll find on plenty of top 10 lists:
- Halloween
- Alien
- Scream
- Night of The Living Dead
- An American Werewolf in London
Apart from these, I’d recommend
- The Wailing (2016, 156 minutes): a Korean movie about a detective trying to find the cause of a mysterious disease running through a town
- Barbarian (2022, 103 minutes): this movie falls in the very weird “AirB&B” sub genre of horror. It has some scenes of incredible tension, one of the best (and well-earned) jump scares, and some great humor.
- The Return of the Living Dead (1985, 91 minutes): a horror-comedy zombie movie with some incredible practical effects
For my least favorites, I’d probably put Slenderman, Meghan is Missing, Winchester, and Ghosts of War.
I’m a big fan of the found footage (FF) subgenre of horror. Some favorites would be Gonjiam Haunted Asylum (2018), Cloverfield (2012), and Hell House LLC (2015)

Ehh I don’t like torture porn or movies with stupid loud noise jump scares, but I love anything horror that’s camp or schlock, like
Chopping Mall
Evil Dead 2/Army of Darkness
Fright Night (1985)
The Hazing
Night of the Comet
Reanimator
Return of the Living Dead
I got sucked into binging the V/H/S series a while ago and enjoyed all except Viral, which I turned off midway through as it was boring me to misery. 94 and the more recent 99 were the standouts for me.
