Horror Films Recommendations

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sun Sep 23, 2018 6:16 pm

I have just got Netflix on a free trial for 1 month and I enjoy watching Horror films so any recommendations would be appreciated

I have searched for Sinister which I think is very good and one or two others but they are not on Netflix

Thanks

The original Stephen King's "IT" - not super scary (unless you have Coulrophobia) but it's still classed as a horror film and I thought it was great. Never watched Netflix, so not sure if it has older movies too, or whether it's just new ones.

Nettflix hasn't got new films just older films

. doesn’t think the horror films available on Netflix are all that great. He watched one called ‘The Boy’ which had one or two good suspense moments but he wasn’t overly impressed.

There’s one on Netflix called The Ritual which I enjoyed. It’s a British low(ish) budget film. Much better than I expected.

. will watch this. He read the book the film is based on a few years ago. He thinks the authors name was something like Adam Neville.

It's pretty spooky that someone persists in posting in the third person.

OP is suspicious. Acting too naive for a fully grown man.

Many times I'm hiding behind the settee as I read some posts on here, who needs scary films.

If ‘Don’t Breathe’ is still on Netflix get it watched! Pure adrenaline ride.

There’s one called ‘Hush’ which is also decent

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Sun Sep 23, 2018 11:19 pm

I have seen Don't Breathe which is about young people breaking into a house owned by an old blind guy

Yes I think that is on Netflix so will watch it again
I will also look for IT Hush and the Ritual

Thanks

Was it better than it sounds?

A little cheesy but the Boy is a good horror film. Another recommendation is 3096 days. Probably more of a thriller but still an interesting watch.

Give it a watch.

The old blind guy turns out to be a beast rapist of the Robert Black mould. More of a thriller than a horror.

colne-claret · Post by **colne-claret** » Mon Sep 24, 2018 12:14 am

Knock Knock is alright if you can look past Keanu Reaves terrible acting in it.

`The Blair Witch Project`

`Let The Right One In` - original version not the yankee remake

`Ringu` - the original Japanese version.

I saw an Australian film called 'Wolf Creek' on the 'Horror Channel' a while back. I really enjoyed it, so made sure I saw the sequel a few weeks later!

Apparently, it's been made into a TV series down under, but I haven't seen that yet.

Wisswosswass · Post by **Wisswosswass** » Mon Sep 24, 2018 4:32 pm

Watched a few on Netflix recently. Thought 'Would You Rather' was ok, so much so I watched it twice but then I found it humorous in parts. More a suspense than horror. Watched 'The Boy' and 'Don't Breathe'. 'Circle' was another although that's just weird. They have 'Jigsaw' on there too if you're into 'Saw'.

The Descent as already mentioned is good and very creepy, but for me Eden Lake absolutely scared me to death!

Bambi vs. Godzilla. A classic.

Bambi wins. It's actually a wrestling video, and Bambi wins best 2 out of 3 falls by using a "foreign object".

Any more Horror film recommendations?

If you have seen them on Netflix that would be good but if not still please recommend any horror films and I will check if they are on there

Thanks

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 1:01 am

Whatever you do, don’t fall for the hype about Hereditary. I have seen scarier episodes of Mickey Mouses Clubhouse with my 1 year old.

I recommend It Follows if you haven’t seen that yet.

djt2006 · Post by **djt2006** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 7:04 am

Not a film.. but I am really enjoying The haunting of Hill house which is a 10 part Netflix series.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 7:16 am

There are some streaming services that specialise in horror such as Shudder.

Anyway, not sure it these are on Netflix but I recommend The Descent, The Blair Witch Project and Halloween.

Spot on. I don't understand how it got such rave reviews.

ColneMonkey · Post by **ColneMonkey** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 9:13 am

Watched Cargo last night which was pretty good. I wouldn't say it'll make you fill your trousers, but I found it quite absorbing.

Martin Freeman in an Australian zombie film. You don't get that very often.

I'm told the new Halloween film is very good, if you ignore the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis' character has already been killed off twice!

I loved both of the Descent films but neither are on Netflix

I strongly recommend them to anyone who has access to watch horror films anywhere other than on Netflix

Untinted Glasses · Post by **Untinted Glasses** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 9:49 pm

yea descent were good

others to consider

eden lake
get out
wolf creek
the strangers
hostel (I think there is 3)

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 9:55 pm

I have seen all of those you listed some time in the past
But don't recognise the film titled Get Out

Then I would recommend watching it. It's certainly different

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:10 pm

Get Out is not on Netflix

I have seen that one of the I Spit on Your Grave films is on Netflix
Not sure which one as there were two and I thought both were decent

Jakubclaret · Post by **Jakubclaret** » Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:12 pm

Used to like the hammer house of horror Peter cushing not sure if on Netflix though.

Foulthrow · Post by **Foulthrow** » Fri Oct 19, 2018 9:17 am

Get Out is a great film. Not sure it entirely classes as horror though

mkmel · Post by **mkmel** » Fri Oct 19, 2018 1:25 pm

I have just seen that I can get Stake Land on Netflix
Stake Land 2 is also on there which I haven't seen but it is Stake Land that I have seen before and I thought it was very good
It's a Zombie film

I read the reviews on Cargo and it sounds very good
I was going to watch but in the end it was nearly midnight so I decided to watch........Holy Grail
Seen it many many times but still laugh out loud
