Forums - Movies & TV - Help me find some good, scary horror movies with supernatural elements

Oh! Reminds me of my Films That Scare You thread.

A few modern ones that you might not have seen yet:

Sinister

Oculus

The Woman In Black

Mama

Shutter

Drag Me To Hell

Orphan

The Orphanage

For something a little different:

The Cabin In The Woods

The sad reality is that there's a limited selection of good horror movies, and a very sparse number of great ones. The genre is chock full of clichés and unispired direction. If you do manage to find one with a decent story, it often fails to deliver a few scares, and vice versa.

Seconded. It's good enough. I thought the second one was pretty bad though.

These were mentioned in the previous page, but I'd like to support their recommendations:

Noroi: The Curse - Blair Witch has nothing on this. Just be patient because at first it seems as if it was taking forever to pick up the pace, but once it does it won't let go. People on IMDB usually agree that the ending is very disturbing.

Shutter - The original Thai version is great. A couple of predictable scares, but pretty far in between the tense scenes... And dat ending!

The Eye 1 and 2 from The Pang Brothers - These films manage to be creepy but have a pretty deep plot that will get you thinking.

There's tons of Japanese Horror movies that are scary, specially if you're the type to think about what's happening on screen. Same goes for South Korean films such as A Tale Of Two Sisters (Brain destroyer for many), Phone (similar to One Missed Call but with a better plot), R-Point (Military action meets supernatural elements mixed with a pretty awesome ending that will get you thinking.

And these are not horror per se, but they can be disturbing if you think about the meaning of their settings/plots and how well everything is executed: The Vengeance Trilogy!, I Saw The Devil, Bloody Reunion (Slasher...).

Go check Asian Horror in general!



The Devils's backbone. The first Guillermo del toro movie I ever saw and I consider it one of his better horror movies. Jacobs ladder is also another one I didn't see mentioned. It's probably one the weirdest movies I have ever seen, but it does have some creepy moments. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it, but it did help inspire the silent hill games.
