Shark movies. I was enthralled the entire time. For both of them. I’m not usually a horror fan but they’re both on Peacock. I have only recently seen Jaws for the first time but now I’m obsessed with shark and water movies.

Billy Zane is downright crazy good in Demon Knight

/u/zombiBuddy — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 06:36:21 -0400

Seriously, I would probably go as far as to say that it's in the top 10 of my favorite performances in the genre. He's that damn good in this. He's just so INTO IT! Haha.

And what a blast Demon Knight is. One of the best horror movies of the 90s. Great cast, fun characters, lots of gloopy gore gags, perfect pacing...

But back to Zane: why isn't he a bigger star? Why the hell isn't he in more, bigger movies? He's obviously insanely talented. I could even see him doing Ash Williams-like roles with how goofy and charming he can be. Damnit. Feels like we are missing out on a lot of cool performances from this guy.

Can someone identify this movie?

/u/UnderstandingFirm381 — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 06:11:42 -0400

When I was a kid I remember my family watching a strange horror movie, however I don’t remember the name or even much of the plot. From what I remember it was an Asian movie about a man who takes care of a young woman who I think is a vampire. All I remember about her is that she drinks blood and never speaks. Below are the only two scenes I can recall.

the man cuts his own hand to let the young woman suck his blood directly
the man kills a woman at a gas station and takes her body home and siphons her blood out with a machine. The vampire girl is seen afterwards drinking the blood from a bottle.

Sorry, I know that’s not much to go off of, but it’s all I can remember. I think I was 6 when I saw it.

Films similar to When Evil Lurks? (Contains spoilers)

/u/penguinlovers0211 — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 04:59:54 -0400

watched it yesterday, and oh my it’s probably one of my top favorite horror movies of all time! being a horror junkie it is hard to find ones that scare you, but this one actually scared me! Im talking about the truly scared of what’s going to happen next, it brings me back to when I first started watching horror. the scene where the autistic son comes in the house and talks to grandma really got me! how the camera focuses on the lights and shadows in the house, it really makes you think evil is lurking somewhere.

I think I really love the 7 rules formula, it adds to the scary level because you keep praying that the characters don’t break them (they unfortunately do)

having watched mostly American and Asian made horror movies this one feels new and interesting to me. could anyone suggest me horror where it’s in a rural setting like this? an example being The Medium (the Korean Thai one) and I realize I do tend to find movies set in rural villages scarier. Preferably not monster or creature one.

The one thing in horror that gets me...

/u/BeforeISleep- — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 00:04:24 -0400

It may be a stretch for some of you to call it horror, but years ago I watched Testament (1983).

I've seen Martyrs (2008), the Terrifier films, Faces of Death (1978), I Spit On Your Grave (1978) - a number of films most folks would find too intense or disturbing to enjoy. And I wouldn't blame them.

But I didn't think about those films after they ended as far as emotional impact goes. I am able to compartmentalize them and appreciate them for what they are - philosophical, effects exhibits, cultural footnote/urban legend, and endurance test (not the biggest fan of ISOYG - just thought it was edgy w/o the female empowerment substance it thought it had) respectfully.

But Testament? It made me so thoroughly uncomfortable. So much so, I still think about how terrifying it would be nearly a decade after watching it. Granted, I saw it at the beginning of my horror fascination so I wasn't as desensitized, but the thought of people turning on each other, stealing what little somebody else has as everyone starves. And the scenes of her kids dying? Dear Lord. I'm not even a parent, but seeing someone so innocent die slowly and painfully in your arms and you not being able to do anything about it!

I suppose it just feels so close to being REAL and inescapable, even more now than back when I watched it. I feel like I KNOW even the "kindest" people would become greedy and homicidal towards even the most vulnerable people. Actually, specifically TOWARDS the most vulnerable people - all social norms and the protections they bring, broken down and ignored. Shoot, it happens now in other places and other ways, but on a nationwide scale?

All in all, I avoid these kind of movies if I know the tone is intentionally trying to be sad and hopeless. Something like Fallout or Mad Max is totally fine. But sad? Disturbs me too much. I'm not sure what separates this from, say, Martrys for me, perhaps the scalecurly. I think it might be the greed and selfishness of several of the survivors. I've heard Threads (1984) is similar, and I avoid it duely.

Would love your thoughts, interpretations of my unclear reasoning, or perhaps subgenres that you avoid because they disturb you?

Holy cow, the twist was amazing.

All I can say is that end scene was absolutely terrifying, the way she glided backwards, the face that was transposed on the body and the sound she made…was totally unsettling. I don’t think I’ll ever forget that scene.

So glad I watched it.

Fav Horror movie trilogy recs?

/u/Ok-Sherbert-6124 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 20:57:50 -0400

Or any series of intertwining movies following the first one. A trilogy, a saga, franchise, etc etc. Just a movie series to get hooked to

For example here are some trilogies I thoroughly enjoyed: Hell house LLC Evil Dead Rise The purge Paranormal activity I know there’s some I’m forgetting but I feel line that should give you a good idea. I’m a huge fan of found footage movies as well. I really enjoy when it’s an interesting storyline to follow like hell house LLC had going on in their movies but trilogies in the horror genre are hard to find anyways so I won’t ask for too much, lol. Throw all ur favs at me!! A brief summary would be appreciated if possible :)

how to become a concept artist/designer

/u/mayonaka_x — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 20:41:11 -0400

my dream is to be a director/writer, but i've had a LOT of people tell me that's not realistic so i'm trying to investigate my back up dream job. i love creating and designing monsters/horror scenes, and i was wondering if there was any profession like that (that isn't IMPOSSIBLE to get into) and how i could do it. examples would be designing and creating characters and scenes for movies, games, or even haunted houses or animatronics like spirit halloween. hypothetically if my ideas are good enough for me to be hired somewhere, how would that work? where should i start? would i need an art degree or something? im not even sure what that profession would be called, let alone how to achieve it as a career.

Another fan of The Void (2016)

/u/Nudesandplants — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 20:37:12 -0400

Went into this movie with 0 expectations or knowledge just a random choice on Peacock and wow! An absolute shoestring budget with some of the most memorable practical effects I've seen. The story was shaky but effective and I think this is one of my favorite low budget horror films I've seen. My husband and I definitely continued to get pulled back by the effects feeling akin to early Carpenter and an old/decrepit hospital has always felt like an excellent location for a horror setting. The "failed" experiments area was completely unsettling and the dialogue "this is hell" felt appropriate. I do see a lot of discussion that the movie doesn't quite live up to some of the hype/dialogue throws people off, what are your thoughts?

reccomendations for good japanese horror films?

/u/plutonymph — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 19:02:55 -0400

so i have been a big japanese horror kick lately and i desperately need more movies to watch. i dont want mainstream movies like the ring (you can probably tell from my profile picture that im already a fan) or ju-on, i want more graphic and gritty stuff.

i watched ichi the killer for the first time yesterday and it was fucking awesome. it was bizarre, it was disgusting, it was brutal, and it was so much fun. kakihara is an absolute delight of a character and i would watch an entire series about him. i honestly think it might be my favorite movie of all time now, i loved it so much. i also just finished audition an hour ago and while i didnt enjoy it quite as much as ichi, i still liked it quite a lot. gotta say though, people were a bit too dramatic about the last 20 minutes of audition. yes, it was disturbing, but ichi the killer has a dozen different scenes that blow it completely out of the water so im not sure why people act like audition is the most disgusting thing ever made. that being said, still a great movie.

so anyways, please give me reccomendations! i love disturbing stuff and im a big gore fan. another movie i watched and really liked recently is liverleaf, so movies like that would be nice. i also really want to watch more movies by takashi miike, so please reccomend those as well!!

Vivarium should inspire more creators

/u/Gbubby03 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 18:50:28 -0400

To start off im a big fan of the whole back room esque sort of movie/video line, whenever I had some time I loved to watch the backroom videos they have online. The sense of dread, knowing something or someone could be around every turn but somehow never see anyone, endless expanse of landscapes or architecture. Something so simple can be so enjoyable to watch personally, and vivarium did a phenomenal job at that, infinite housing development with a uneasy feeling behind it, unexpected changes in the tone of the movie just from one encounter, constant dread over if this is the end or if there’s a chance of escape. All in all I feel vivarium did very well, it should provide some sort of inspiration to those who want to make similar movies or backroom esque movies specially in a horror setting cause I know there’s a few other movies that are similar but they aren’t horror which really can captivate and really pull on that existential dread of a never ending no escape place with multiple layers beyond what you see on the surface. I hope to see more of these types of movies in the future or even an expansion on vivarium story maybe expand to a different location or a different setting, never ending mall with people that leave just as soon as you see them and when you go there they’re gone sort of thing. That genre of movie can have so much potential like an untapped opportunity waiting for a creative mind to hit it and make a lot of money. If I knew how to make movies or even know how to suggest them I would, this is the best I can think of doing though lol, I just want to see if there’s others who view this the same or have any movies they’d like to recommend similar to it.

A recommendation for "The Summer Hikaru Died"

/u/SenorMcNuggets — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 18:17:20 -0400

Hey folks! As an avid fan of both horror and anime, I rarely find a release that manages to do both well. "The Summer Hikaru Died" (a.k.a. Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu) is the latest of this rare combination, and is currently streaming on Netflix.

The story follows a teenage boy, Yoshiki, whose closest friend, Hikaru, has been replaced with an otherworldly entity. As he struggles with how to feel about this upsetting circumstance, his small mountain village is rife with mysterious goings on, and a "company" is set on doing something about them.

The show is currently slated for 12 episodes, but the source material is ongoing, so I suspect a future second season will depend on the success of this one. But knowing Netflix's track-record with cancelling good shows, nothing is certain.

Regardless, it's thus far a well-directed Japanese folk horror that deftly blends the animation medium with modern arthouse horror sensibilities. I encourage anyone with interest in that mixture to check it out!

Horror recommendations for Pre-Teen

/u/EdenH333 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 15:37:39 -0400

My kid is getting into horror, and I’m trying to find some that aren’t gonna straight up traumatize them. Watched Nightbooks, Pooka, and Silent Hill: Revelations (broadcast edit).

Things I want to avoid: Anything to do with suicide, no sexual content, gore, extreme violence, kids getting killed, drugs (no duh), and nothing with parents dying (on-screen or during events of the movie).

Scary monsters, mild violence, and mild language are Ok.

So you can see I’m having a hard time. Every movie I think is gonna be fine, I check the ratings guide and remember, oh shit, whoops, can’t show her that one.

On my list is The Village, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and The Blair Witch Project (still gonna double-check those before we actually put them on).

The Collector (2009) - Was the character Gena Wharton involved with the main villain?

/u/PIX3LY — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 14:55:19 -0400

In the opening, we see Larry and Gena Wharton returning home to discover a trunk in their bedroom. When Larry goes to open it, we get a quick shot of someone covering his mouth, then it cuts to black. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the person who covers his mouth IS Gena, since you see her move in frame along with the arm that covers his mouth. Here's a screenshot of that very fast shot

I don't know if this is anything, but I decided to make a post about it since it felt extremely odd. I haven't seen the sequel yet fwiw.

I am looking for a movie that I've forgotten the title to and cant for the love of me remember again or manage to google. It was released either 2023 or 2024.

The movie was about a man coming back to his childhood home with a brown leather suitcase. Maybe some flashbacks occur, and at some point in the movie there is some sort of entity emerging from the suitcase. The color scheme of the movie was kind of yellow-brown. Appreciate any help!

Poltergeist (original) influence on later horror films

/u/1hyacinthe — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:26:15 -0400

I just watched the original Poltergeist movie and was struck by its similarities to other horror franchises. There were many obvious parallels to the Conjuring movies (even down to casting....hell, the dad looks like Patrick Wilson). Also a big parallel to Insidious regarding the climactic "rescue."

Are there any other horror movies post-Poltergeist that have striking similarities you've noticed?

Paranormal Activity fumbled its opportunity to be one of the best modern horror franchises.

/u/jdcmopwjdmw — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 13:15:03 -0400

The first three installments were being so thoughtful building a backstory and 'world' of the events that made things feel like they were building to an insane, witchy, culty conclusion. 4 flirted with the idea, but it's a bummer the creative team abandoned the lore building and didn't follow through.

Especially that reveal at the end of the Marked Ones!!!!

Could've been a really incredible reality-bending, time-warping conclusion but feels like it went out with a whimper.

The cult classics Mr Boogedy and Bride of Boogedy are on Disney+. Amazing family horror movies

/u/Metalworker4ever — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 12:52:41 -0400

Another frequent thread I see here are people asking for children’s and family movies. I never see these films get mentioned. They’re total classics. Amazing special effects. Great monster. Great actors and performances. Really funny. The ONLY reason these films are not better known is that they are from the 1980s and you couldn’t rent them in a video store. You had to have had parents record this off the Tv when it aired on the Disney program like my parents had done. I grew up watching these into my adolescence. It’s just an amazing pair of movies whether you’re a child or an adult. I would honestly rank them among the greatest horror movies ever regardless if they’re for kids or not.

Like call me crazy but it’s honestly upsetting people come here asking for children’s recs and these films are forgotten

/u/Metalworker4ever — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 12:44:50 -0400

I still regularly see threads here asking for cosmic horror recommendations. They get a lot of attention but nobody ever recommends these movies. They are far and away the best adaptations of a Lovecraft story ever done on film. The Call of Cthulhu is a silent film made as though it was from the time the story was published. The Whisperer In The Darkness is black and white but has talking. It takes some creative liberties with the plot but the essentials are all there. I really think -everyone- who likes Lovecraft should give these films a chance. They’re free to access now so there is really no excuse not to. I want to see these pop up in recs more often. They’re currently working on another film… I think it’s a documentary this time. Please support these artists they’re amazing.

Horror tv mini-series?

/u/Somnambulish — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 12:05:58 -0400

I don’t love watching tv, save for a few exceptions, and have a hard time watching a series with multiple seasons- maybe it’s an attention span thing, who knows.

Horror movies are like comfort food for me, and for some reason I’m craving something with more run-time than a film. Can anyone suggest a series where there is either one season, or multiple seasons that have a different cast/story line?

Some favorites: - practically anything that Mike Flanagan puts out, though the Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass stand out - The Terror - True Detective (S1) - The Outsider - Horror-adjacent, but Mindhunter

Don’t love: - American Horror Story

Help remembering a film please

/u/Kaiser997 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 10:32:27 -0400

So this is vague explanation of the film as I can only remember a small amount of it .But its people hiding out in a snowy area and think it either monsters or zombies that they are hiding from . In one house is a single man and in the other is a family . There is a twist in the film that you find out that the single man is the parent of the child with the other family but he ended up getting his wife killed because of something he did . The other family took the child because of how his wife died . Pretty sure the single man dies at the end to protect the family when monsters/zombies find and attack them

Would the USA accept Chinese style escape the rooms that offer an experience far deeper then any haunted house offers.

/u/markodemi — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 10:32:09 -0400

To be more specific, Chinese style escape the rooms come in two fashions, puzzle solving, horror driven or combination of the two. They are not limited to chinese themes. They are episodic and typically go from 4 to 6 people per round. They lead you through several rooms that cover multiple floors and use alot of ambiance with high quality music, sfx and lighting. It's often heavy on acting from npcs that help you along the way to villian characters. They incorporate many elements like being chased by demons into a car and the demons lift the car and eventually the car splits in half like an axe splitting it down the middle.or pistons dropping the interior floor of the car into a sub level. It is so well done ive never seen anything in the States like it. It has chase sequences acting scenes that further tell the story. It is truly next level. All at a price of around 30 usd per person for about 70mins to 2 hours. What do you all think?

Low Gore Thrillers!

/u/kai1986 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 10:01:56 -0400

So I’ve tried 100 times to get my wife to watch horror movies with me, and she has had a hard time with it. She wants to enjoy watching movies with me, but has issues with excessive gore, brutal violence, and on screen sexual assault in movies.

We have recently discovered she absolutely loves thrillers, she also seems to like animal horror, disaster thrillers, and even SOME limited high end horror films.

Movies she has really enjoyed are

Fall
Watcher
Crawl
The Shallows
Greenland
The Day After Tomorrow
Sinners
Companion
The Menu
Society of the Snow
The Witch
Annihilation
Don’t Worry Darling
Longlegs

She has also really enjoyed the following movies but I have a really hard time with these, because technically they skirt the line on what she can handle, they just happened to be good enough and executed well enough to be some of her favourites.

Midsommar
Hereditary
Barbarian
The Substance
The Thing
The Colour Out of Space

Anyways, if you have any recommendations for good thrillers, or other such movies that avoid excessive gore, or on screen SA, I’d love to hear them.

What should I watch?

/u/Binah999 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 07:17:23 -0400

Looking for a movie that isnt predictable, not gory, its ok if there is some but not where its all gore.

Can be paranormal, anything really... im just not big on slashers unless it has a cool twist or something! I LOVE found footage and psychological thrillers/horrors. I watch movies these days and I pretty much most of the time know whats going to happen... i want a good plot, a good twist and just good acting in general!

I know its very general guidelines but i hope i can get some good recommendations!

just watched 1408, gotta say solid 9/10

/u/sniply5 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 02:42:46 -0400

the feeling of dread is just so well built up, the room so evil, the fire being such a good sign of victory. i would say more but its nearly 1am as i type this up and i want to get out this post while the feelings are still fresh before i sleep.

so go watch 1408, its a bit slow to start but when it gets going it's real good.

Watch "The Well" 2023 on Tubi...highly recommend

/u/Johnny_Strange81 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 02:42:34 -0400

I have not seen a modern film like this in a while. Lovecraftian themes, practical effects. Decent production and budget. It reminded me of those old school itialian horror films of the 70s and 80s. The director himself is italian and you can see how he was inspired by the italian greats the likes of Fulci and Argento

Help finding Vampire movie

/u/RoyRoya — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 02:28:01 -0400

One of the last films I watched at my dads before I ever saw him again lol but the scene involves someone at an airport, it’s dark and raining and as he’s walking by each mirror it breaks, and then I can’t remember if it’s in the airport or outside but the vampire slashes his face, seems very 90s

Need help with name of movie I watched as a kid **unique film plot??

/u/dookiehead77 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 01:19:18 -0400

I was a kid when I watched this movie (at least 15 years ago) but it’s one that has stuck with me. The plot was about some young adults (teenagers maybe) that are in some sort of ward or hospital and the concept of the movie was that they all died based off of their worst fears. Two scenes specifically was a male being scared of elevators, therefore getting crushed by it. The other was a female character being scare of getting fat, therefore whatever the thing was had her hooked up to a liposuction machine but did reverse liposuction on her. Some please help me remember this twisted movie!!

I DON’T UNDERSTAND YOU is a fun riff on horror thrillers

/u/pellnell — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:35:39 -0400

Apologies if there’s a reaction thread I missed, but I had so much fun watching this movie. It was a very silly take on the “tourists in a foreign country meet bad people” story. Andrew Rannells really brings the right level of camp to his performance. Anyone else check this out?

Can't remember movie name!

/u/our2howdy — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:28:28 -0400

Ok this one is obscure. I saw it mentioned on this sub a few years ago, saw it and loved it... but I was sick as shit with covid and cant remember it at all. It was all subtitled so that didn't help my retention.

Super low budget, South american film, thriller/horror... Set mostly in a radio station (?) An underground political movement or freedom radio broadcasters (?) There was some sort of fear they were going to be infiltrated (?) by the regime (?)

Anyhow somehow these extra dimensional beings find them and they start hallucinating and one by one get picked off abducted by these beings.

Jesus I barely remember this at all, but I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. For being microbudget, it had a few really decent scares. Please help!

Ranking the sinners movies

/u/InstancePast6549 — Mon, 14 Jul 2025 00:15:17 -0400

Just watched the first sinners and it was great. It really made me want to watch the rest of the movies and more about vampires that I didn’t over the years. Sinners is a very good franchise. See my ranking below and please share yours!

Grabbers (2012) Peak Irish Horror-Comedy

/u/Bichiguaya — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 23:15:51 -0400

I saw this movie in I believe Fox like 10 years ago and it stuck with me and I was always thinking about it. I just remembered the name today and watched it again after so long and omg it was as beautiful as I remembered it. This is the kind of movie where the special effects were amazing, the solution was funny as hell, the characters are charismatic and very funny. If you looking for a fun and action packed alien movie this is what you need. All in all this was a very fun movie to rewatch and I give it a 8/10, would watch again third time for sure.

Starry Eyes (2014)

/u/Bichiguaya — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 21:45:33 -0400

So basicaly it is about a girl that wants to be a famous actress and is willing to do anything to get to that goal. The movie includes some kind of possession, cults and IMO the descent to madness from this actress. It includes a bit of gore and some bodyhorror but not that much that it becomes disgusting. I saw that the last entry on this sub from this movie was like 5 years ago so I thought I would remind yall about this. All in all I give it a solid 7.5/10 (Btw trailer does this no justice).
