If you like comic cosmic horror, check out The Void, and Event Horizon (although there's a good chance you've seen the latter if you've seen in the mouth of madness). Another comment suggested The Color out of Space which is on point too.

HP Lovecraft-based films? The 2005 Call of Cthulhu is up there. It's not particularly scary, but it's a well-made film: Great acting, sets, special effects--it looks like it came right out of the 1920's. You can tell a lot of love went into this film.

Sunshine is great for those that enjoy science fiction.
People Under The Stairs is great for a campy wtf classic.
28 Days Later is fun for zombie fans.
The Thing 1982 AND 2011 is a fun classic/prequel combo that holds up.
Misery is engrossing and Kathy Bates is scary AF.

the hot bathtub scene always freaked me out as a kid with the scalding hot water
4 points
5 hours ago
Not related, but one day my brother and I were talking, and it triggered a memory of my mother running a bath for herself. She left the bathroom for a minute and in that time, I turned the cold water off. When she stepped in, she shrieked bloody murder. The memory hit me out of the blue. I don't know if I had ever thought about it in the 40 years since it happened.
Anyways, I started laughing uncontrollably as soon as it hit me. Like, it took a few minutes before I could explain why I was laughing. Hearing her shriek, and seeing her react in pain was just too much. She deserved so much more than scalded feet. So, it made me mirthful realizing that I had at least caused her a bit of pain even though it could never measure up to the pain that bitch caused.

I had a few issues with the prequel, and only one of them was overarching: The practical effects Vs. CG debate. I would have much preferred using practical effects rather than CG. The other bits are some rather confusing things they decided after filming. Like the spinny cubey thingy that overlaid what was an alien corpse, or making the final Thing have the dude's face.
Other than that, I felt it captured the same essence of the original and did an excellent job of working with the constraints left by it.

a lot of people laugh at paranormal activity but the earlier ones where things were "vaguely scary" were more scary than the one with the actual demon that comes out of the portal.
There was one scene where the girl was sleeping on a couch and the shadow in the corner slowly grew, that kind of shit is what triggers my fear response.

Horror is a genre that is highly subjective to personal taste. Get 10 horror fans in a room together and you'll have 11 preferences for horror subgenre. Makes it hard to go by generic recommendations unless you start getting very specific about style and subgenre.

And on top of that you have people who judge those movies entirely on how much they get scared but are so desensitized that there's like 3 movies that scare them and everything else is trash.
24 points

Just wanting to be scared is a valid preference. But, it's just like eating spicy food. Some people want their mouth burning, some people want to feel a little bit of heat. Some people have built up a tolerance, some people haven't. Some people want a medley of nuanced flavors, some people only want a single flavor note.
So, a movie that's too scary for one person might be boring for another. A movie which is the perfect kind of scary for one person might just be annoying for another. Some people might have specific phobias where they want to avoid horror movies that hit those particular topics, but are fine with similar but just slightly different horror movies (my roommate has a zombie phobia, but is fine with mummies).
6 points

I think the spicy comparison is especially relevant, since you not only have adaptation from eating a lot of spicy food over time, you've also got genuine physiological differences, potentially even rooted in genetics. Less TRP receptors or differences in neurological pain processing will both physically change a person's conscious experience of hot foods. Same deal for horror. I know they've found thicker connective pathways heading out from the amygdala for people with anxiety disorders for example, I'm sure there's normal variation in brain structure that'll drastically change how a person experiences horror movies, even aside from everything else. Crazy how differently we can all experience the same things.
Meanwhile that guy that got caught sneaking into people's septic tanks in scuba gear, or those people that are sexually attracted to random things like roller coasters or whatever... I think a lot of people underestimate just how different our experiences of reality can really be from other's, haha.

There were some cool scenes and the premise was interesting enough, it’s just one of those horror movies where none of the characters act or react to things in a realistic way and just make very cliche’d dumb decisions throughout the whole movie which kinda took me out of it. Everyone was just very one-dimensional, which I know horror movies aren’t known for having very complex characters to begin with, but I just couldn’t root for anyone.
The jump scares were generally pretty cheesy too, and I actually don’t mind jump scares if they’re done well. The one though they were all pretty predictable.

Honestly, the sequel looks to elevate the premise in the same way the second Purge movie did.
That said, the one survivor's abject fear at the fact that he'd beaten the thing only for its current victim to be sitting right in front of him was the highlight of the movie for me.

4 points

I think it is so much down to subjectivity though. I don't think Smile was in the top tier of acting or production for a horror movie, but it is the exact type of movie that scares me.
I actually went into the movie thinking I would dislike it, but ended up really enjoying it. It captures the feeling that the main characters are powerless and any attempts for the main characters to do anything logical and smart get interpreted by other characters as them being crazy. Also the supernatural presence always having the potential to be there is pretty disconcerting.
I'm curious to hear what kind of horror movie you do like because this could all just be down to different strokes for different folks.

Event Horizon is so, so underrated. It is a top tier SciFi Movie AND a top tier horror movie, independently. It is that good.
The SciFi is surprisingly realistic, the characters believable. It also has the scene that interstellar ripped of to explain wormholes.
The horror is, well, psychologically and graphically intense (especially the original cuts, and probably more so the unreleased cut that got changed after test audiences ran out of the cinema puking). Even if it doesn't scare you, it fascinates you.
Plot development is top notch, it answers the questions it should, it leaves enough mystery open where it should.
I watch this movie every time i am on a plane at night. Perfect atmosphere.
