What's your opinion?
Yeah yeah I know there is none, but for you personally what would you say it is?
Some researchers seem to have figured out which it is which the fail has posted:

Basically Sinister, Insidious, the Conjuring, Smile etc. All feature.
Horrors are all dumb, but my wife enjoys a horror movie month in October so I'll sit down and watch my fair share of horrors with her each October, including the ones listed in the article, have seen them all.
Being born March 1990, I'd already watched the likes of The Exorcist, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Saving Private Ryan etc by the time I was 10, but the only film that actually gave me nightmares for a good while was 28 Days Later, which i first watched when I was 13. For me 28 days later is the scariest film ever, probably due the fact that if the zombie/infected apocalypse happens, that is how it'd look in the UK.
Sinister is a good horror film though
Scariest film ever

As above so below, is pretty scary
The descent, is decent too
I've seen all the conjuring, insidious, paranormal activities, hell raisers, RECs, exorcists etc
I'm.a sucker for a possession horror. My favourite genre.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you like possession horror and haven't seen Smile yet, you'd like that one. I love whodunnit type films so for me The Thing is one of my favourite films ever.
There's a film with Anthony Hopkins I think called The Rite that's alright too, plays a priest, possession etc.
More of a slow burn but I quite enjoyed Midnight Mass on Netflix too.
And Quija: Origin of Evil is pretty good, million times better than Quija 1 which is utter dog poo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Seen all of those except smile. Will check it out. I'm a big horror fan so watch everything but comedy horror.
Even subscribe to shudder.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I love horror especially possession. Any obscure left field recommendations?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Leave that with me.

Jaws has had the longest lasting effect on me.
In recent years, Hereditary was pretty unsettling. The Mom 'knocking' on the loft hatch was a good scare.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hereditary, I just don’t get why people find that scary - people were laughing in the cinema when we watched it.
Also the first half of that movie is dull as faaaack
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watched a programme years about (top 100 horrors or something) and Jaws was up there. The people talking about said that the affect that it had on people was pretty spectacular. Apparently people were put off from swimming, beaches even taking a bath ffs π€£

I can't imagine watching a horror in the cinema. Gotta be at home, in the dark.

Only one I watched at the cinema was Quiet Place and that was a mistake

Nothing scarier than the rustle of sweet wrappers, the sucking of straws and people coughing

I used to seek out the 'hardcore' horror films and felt a champion conquering many of the films they listed. Then I stumbled down the iceberg to August Underground and realised them other films were CBeebies by comparison and I was done π
Fact August underground and Serbian Film are nowadays considered tame by hardcore horror fans is kinda warped. Kids in 20 years won't be shocked by anything. Horror has just kinda got too macabre and lost its way.
At least films like terrifier have that 80s dark comedy vibe and offer something that seems fresh, even though that's recycling a genre from decades ago!
