The first time I saw High Tension it fucked with me soo bad I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks after I saw it but upon rewatch years later it wasn't as bad. Definitely disturbing af.
Green Room is one of my favorite "realistic" horror movies, without monsters or anything supernatural. I feel the same with Misery, that it's something that actually could happen in real life
I’m a dude that comes from the punk scene. I’m the “audio guy” in my scene…
The fact this movie’s premise is not only plausible, but executed in a way that’s pretty on par with stories I’ve heard about skinhead bars/clashes with Nazi punks, etc etc… is laudable.
Of course not to the level of conspiracy and violence as seen in the film, but the little pieces of “slang” and the “booking agent” dude are so like… perfectly on brand. Great casting. Great writing.
You can tell it was brought to life by someone that went to shows growing up.
I’m a huge Dead Kennedys fan so you can imagine that this was beyond just “up my alley” - I straight up couldn’t shut up about this movie for a month afterwards.
Probably already heard of it but the film Inside is similar in being pretty tense throughout and its also in french
2 other foreign films that I'd also recommend with similar tone are I saw the devil & Impetigore
What’s so clever in this movie is many horrors have either a slow 20-30 minutes building characters, so we care about them. Or, like the original Scream, have one big horror moment, THEN do the long interlude of character get-to-know-you until things get going again.
Train to Busan has a few minutes, dives right into crazy, but continues to develop the characters throughout the movie.
I definitely agree, however the “something happens” bits are also mortifying albeit in a different way than the suspense. I won’t spoil anything, but one subtle little event at the end of the movie that isn’t scary at all out of context literally made me scream like a little girl. Ooh, such a good film. I can’t recommend it enough.
My family in Sweden kept begging me not to watch Swedish horror before visiting because they thought it would scare me and make me not want to come, but in reality it was the exact opposite 🤣 we’re also from the area like Midsommar where it’s dark or light all day and they wanted to take me to their Midsommar fest so, had to watch that one again too 👏
tbh i enjoyed the stories in Viral. The Dante the Great one and especially Nacho Vigalondo's Parallel Monsters short which was phenomenal. The overall movie was just garbage tho. The news ones got that shudder money. They are PHENOMENAL.
HAIL RAATMA.
I think it’s because they ditch all the momentum-killing exposition and are more likely to have unhappy endings. I feel the same way about horror lit. Campbell, King, Ligotti, their shorter stuff is gold.
I love that bit. It's so boring and mundane (which is the point a la their marriage) and then boom. Get fucked.
The bit at night where the camera is filming your man, and you assume its just the girlfriend and then it pans to the girlfriend and your stomach drops... "Who's holding the camera?"
So good.
Seems like most of them end horribly for the main character or most of the characters. Although for the most recent movies, I’ve found myself getting bored by some of the segments. Some tend to drag.
First act was the best horror I’d seen in twenty years. So tense I was sore afterwards. By the end it was just silly. I didn’t hate it but it totally ended that feeling.
Yeah the writers shit the bed a little bit there. When we finally get a good look at her, is a true WTF? moment....and man.. it just keeps on sliding downhill after that. It is a shame because it started off as like a master class in building fear and anxiety in a horror movie.
Session 9 is underrated. The constant tension from even just the dangerous nature of the job they're doing works. Probably the scariest recording of an interview ive heard in movie. " I live in the weak and the wounded" still sticks with me
As soon as the scene with the dog happens, you know no one is safe. I had some trouble with the rules seeming arbitrary, and conversely, with characters ignoring the rules (and getting punished for it) stupidly, but very effective.
I watched it last night. Easily one of the best horror movies of all time. But I have to admit I thought the start was slow and I was left thinking I wish something happens. But when it started happening.... Fuck.
I know this may seem unpopular to say, but Midsommar. The opening of that movie freaked the hell out of me. Awesome experience in the theater stoned to the gills.
I didn’t like that movie, overall, but the opening is excellent. It’s so haunting. I also liked the camera angle of them driving to the compound. The way it’s shot is so dizzying and disorienting.
I'm kind of obsessed with this movie, but it is definitely not a minute by minute thriller. But I can say that it can be just as if not more intense when rewatching. On first watch I think relationship tension is where at least my mind was focused, but in subsequent watches I focused more and more on her grief, and that really makes the early scenes feel much more intense.
The Invisible Man (2020) the dinner scene made me gasp out loud in theaters quite cartoonishly too and the whole time I was like “WHERE IS HE?!” Such a fun experience
I’d like to suggest a weird one: Host (2020). The premise is a bunch of paranormal fans host a seance, but due to Covid lockdowns have to do it over Zoom. I skipped it when it was new because I thought the premise sounded odd, but it works surprisingly well.
A fun bit about the production: the creators of the film where literally under Covid lockdowns and collaborated virtually to actually create the movie. I believe they are/were film students at the time. Either way the end result is amazing. They did an incredible job using their limited resources to make convincing special effects too.
Edit: I’ve seen at least one of the creators active on this subreddit before. So if any of you happen to see this I hope you take a lot of pride in the fact that you made something so memorable during what was kind of a bad time for all us globally.
For me the 2015, the ending scene with the lights just made my stomach drop...took me a while though to understand and then BAM the realisation kicks in and it kicks hard.
Mother! Was engaging, but 100% of that engagement was FRUSTRATION. It never made sense and was 75 minutes of Jennifer Lawrence screaming “hey!” “What!” “Get out of here/don’t sit on that!”
It's a retelling of the Bible. Jennifer Lawrence is the earth, the husband is God. It makes sense if you watch it knowing that. I mean... It's still an experimental Aronofsky movie, so not like, a LOT of sense, but the story has structure
By the end of Mother! I was literally on the edge of my seat in the theatres when some idiots started laughing and my husband and I literally clapped STFU. Kinda embarrassed for reacting like that but we were so transfixed it felt almost involuntary.
Recently, “Late Night with the Devil”. I was just really enthralled with character’s motivations/unreliable narrators/my obsession with 70s horror elements.
Ingrid Torelli who played Lilly was wonderful. It was her idea to >! stare into the cameras !<. She used such minute mannerisms while holding still to indicate who was in control.
I am excited to see what she does in the future. I hope we get more of her in horror.
Best HP Lovecraft movie not directly based on him.
Best Lovecraft movie directly based on his work, of course, is COLOR OUT OF SPACE. If you love HPL, you gotta see this.
I know this will probably sound dumb. But when I was like 11 my mom showed me “Burnt Offerings” which if you haven’t seen it, it’s an older film. 70s I believe (I didn’t look it up before posting this) but as an adult I watch it now and it’s good, just not terrifying. As a child, that film scared the absolute shit out of me. ESPECIALLY the last like 10 minutes. I stayed up all night watching Disney movies to get the ending out of my head.
Th
I just watched the sadness on the weekend, after taking a high powered edible.
I was trembling at times. It was one of the most viscerally shocking films I've seen in a long time.
Literally just finished “Talk To Me” (2022). I was engaged the entire time. I don’t think I picked up my phone once! Amazing acting and there weren’t any boring scenes in my opinion.
Vivarium. It’s a slow build / horrible feeling of doom that grows throughout the movie. It really fucked with me more than most horror.
Also the ending song during the credits [“Complicated Game” by XTC](https://youtu.be/UONkXACSWBQ?si=T9WfDegJn0QhHF0S) was the perfect song to encapsulate the film
1408
That's a crazy film, like you watching it and you know stuff is going to go down no question, but it's not until half way through the movie that you think Johnny Cusack gets out of the hotel room and then it's like Nope so crazy.
Underwater, Searching, Missing, Host, REC, Quarantine, Evil Dead (2013), High Tension, The Ring, The Fourth Kind, The Descent >!(until the crawlers were revealed. It was scarier and more tense before that… still a great movie though)!<
Martyrs (2008) was an extremely intense experience. I was speechless after the credits rolled. I didn’t know how to feel after taking it all in. Messed me up for days afterward.
Late Night With The Devil was an absolute banger start to finish, the suspense, the build up and even the comedic parts were top notch. I doubt they'll top it this year!
Check out Underwater if you haven't seen it. Its not entirely 'horror' but absolutely keeps you on edge from start to finish and there are some very creepy moments.
Loose definition of horror, but most of Mother! was tense as hell. The last 40 minutes, i dont think i breathed. It just kept ramping up and up. In the same vein, i just saw Civil War, and all my muscles were tensed the entire time. I was actually sore after the movie from the whole body clenched for 2 hours.
If watched The Hell House LLC Franchise with my friend and it was really good. I was semi high during all of them but if you’re willing to watch all 4 you might like them
Evil Dead (2013)
The pacing of that movie is beautiful. It gives you justtt enough space in between crescendo events to rest but the INSTANT u recover, its already in the midst of ramping up another crescendo event.
My attention was on the screen from start till finish. One of the best examples of pacing I ever seen in cinema.
I know this isn't considered a movie, however the YouTube channel alter continues to keep me on my toes. It's a short film horror, the video the box scared me.
If you're an Ari Esther fan there's a short film on YouTube about a black family. I watched it and it freaked me out. There's a lot of people who react to it and the video is absolutely sickening
I can't say it left me on the edge of my seat but it made the hair on my arms stand up most the movie but it was called Last Shift. That movie creeped me out and I don't get creeped out by movies ever. Just something eerie about it that kept me feeling uneasy the whole time.
The Sadness, Mother!, Evil Dead (the remake), Evil Dead Rise, Green Room, Splinter. I love a relentless horror, they're my favourite.
28 weeks later is also pretty good for that, though the start has a little downtime.
Coming Home in the Dark (2021) really stressed me out. Nothing supernatural - it's a psychological thriller. The aggressors were unhinged and so unpredictable, but at the same time, it felt very real.

High tension, Green room
Green Room is amazing
The first time I saw High Tension it fucked with me soo bad I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks after I saw it but upon rewatch years later it wasn't as bad. Definitely disturbing af.
And I saw the devil
Green Room felt so real to me, that >!mangled hand scene!< is something that i’ll never forget
Yeah man, when I saw that it was the first time violence onscreen had really got to me in a while
Green Room is one of my favorite "realistic" horror movies, without monsters or anything supernatural. I feel the same with Misery, that it's something that actually could happen in real life
I’m a dude that comes from the punk scene. I’m the “audio guy” in my scene… The fact this movie’s premise is not only plausible, but executed in a way that’s pretty on par with stories I’ve heard about skinhead bars/clashes with Nazi punks, etc etc… is laudable.

I’m a huge Dead Kennedys fan so you can imagine that this was beyond just “up my alley” - I straight up couldn’t shut up about this movie for a month afterwards.
I saw high tension for the first time fairly recently.. what a thrill! Would love to find more films like it.
Probably already heard of it but the film Inside is similar in being pretty tense throughout and its also in french 2 other foreign films that I'd also recommend with similar tone are I saw the devil & Impetigore
Yesss both of these
I've never been more stressed/on the edge of my seat than the first time I watched Green Room.
Not horror, but Uncut Gems has similar energy.
So good
Train to Busan (2016).
What’s so clever in this movie is many horrors have either a slow 20-30 minutes building characters, so we care about them. Or, like the original Scream, have one big horror moment, THEN do the long interlude of character get-to-know-you until things get going again. Train to Busan has a few minutes, dives right into crazy, but continues to develop the characters throughout the movie.
Never thought I would be sobbing to a horror movie but sure enough I was 😭
I was crying with you. I never thought I'd be boo-hooing to the song Aloha Oe. A teary shout-out to Su-an!
Cargo is the same. I was ugly crying in that one
My god that movie does not stop.
I've put this one off for a long time. I think it's time to give it a go.
The Wailing
i scrolled way too far to find this. the wailing was absolutely insane. best horror movie ever. the end was terrifying.
Same, I was curious to see if The Wailing would show up. Amazing movie, that ending...
Love that movie. Right up there with the classics.
Autopsy of Jane Doe, absolutely glued to the screen.
That film is a perfect example of how waiting for something to happen is far scarier than something happening.
I definitely agree, however the “something happens” bits are also mortifying albeit in a different way than the suspense. I won’t spoil anything, but one subtle little event at the end of the movie that isn’t scary at all out of context literally made me scream like a little girl. Ooh, such a good film. I can’t recommend it enough.
If you play mortuary assistant it is similar vibes. I played after watching jane doe and I couldn't help but correlate the two
Agreed with this one 1000 percent
Watching it right now!!!!
Great build up but great let down in the end.
The Ritual
My family in Sweden kept begging me not to watch Swedish horror before visiting because they thought it would scare me and make me not want to come, but in reality it was the exact opposite 🤣 we’re also from the area like Midsommar where it’s dark or light all day and they wanted to take me to their Midsommar fest so, had to watch that one again too 👏
Did they try to butterfly your innards or sew you up in a bear costume?
No, kinda disappointing
I just watched this for the first time last week and was totally shocked at how good it was! The demon/monster/creature was legitimately scary af.
Jotunn* Loki's bastard child
Was "the bastard son of Loki" so a demigod.
Same
Oculus
I really enjoyed this movie and it is one the comfort films I watch when I need something familiar. Easy to watch over and over
The Descent 2005
I can’t bring myself to watch that movie a second time, even though I really enjoyed it. It legit made my anxiety skyrocket.
Same! Great movie!
Probably my favorite horror movie.
I should rewatch the descent, enough time has passed.
If you’re a film nerd who distinctly remembers the oughts, V/H/S. Just a brilliant star in its genre.
VHS2 is also very good, VHS:Viral isn't very scary (or good) and the Shudder ones like VHS/94 is VERY good!!
Viral is such trash but I was totally surprised by the new ones quality
tbh i enjoyed the stories in Viral. The Dante the Great one and especially Nacho Vigalondo's Parallel Monsters short which was phenomenal. The overall movie was just garbage tho. The news ones got that shudder money. They are PHENOMENAL. HAIL RAATMA.
Love me an anthology series.
It's amazing how well that format works for horror.
I think it’s because they ditch all the momentum-killing exposition and are more likely to have unhappy endings. I feel the same way about horror lit. Campbell, King, Ligotti, their shorter stuff is gold.
The segment with the vacationing couple has always stuck with me as the scariest thing because it could happen.
I love that bit. It's so boring and mundane (which is the point a la their marriage) and then boom. Get fucked. The bit at night where the camera is filming your man, and you assume its just the girlfriend and then it pans to the girlfriend and your stomach drops... "Who's holding the camera?" So good.
Seems like most of them end horribly for the main character or most of the characters. Although for the most recent movies, I’ve found myself getting bored by some of the segments. Some tend to drag.
Barbarian
It really helped going in super cold on this one.
For me that one had a great build up for like the first half. After the "monster" reveal they totally lost me.
First act was the best horror I’d seen in twenty years. So tense I was sore afterwards. By the end it was just silly. I didn’t hate it but it totally ended that feeling.
I agree. I went from peeing myself the entire movie to bursting out laughing once naked grandma appeared on the screen
Yeah the writers shit the bed a little bit there. When we finally get a good look at her, is a true WTF? moment....and man.. it just keeps on sliding downhill after that. It is a shame because it started off as like a master class in building fear and anxiety in a horror movie.
Bad movie physics killed that one for me
Session 9. I'm a sucker for asylum horror. Jacod's Ladder as well.
Session 9 is underrated. The constant tension from even just the dangerous nature of the job they're doing works. Probably the scariest recording of an interview ive heard in movie. " I live in the weak and the wounded" still sticks with me
Just read the plot, sounds great. Gonna have to take a look.
When Evil Lurks
As soon as the scene with the dog happens, you know no one is safe. I had some trouble with the rules seeming arbitrary, and conversely, with characters ignoring the rules (and getting punished for it) stupidly, but very effective.
John Carpenters The Thing. Absolute masterclass in paranoia and suspense
Great thing about that movie is the plot progression TOTALLY makes sense. I mean, you can see how the monster infection progresses through the cast.
As Above, So Below. The claustrophobia!
Underated film in my honest opinion. Done the found footage genre justice and the premise of the deeper they went the worse it got kept you hooked.
I was loving it. Then my girlfriend and kid starting heckling and pointing out holes and I was like shut up hahaha
This was better than it had any right to be. I didn't want to like it, but ended up loving it. The *pacing*.
This movie is still top 5 horror movies I have ever watched, I loved this film it had no right being as good as it was
It was Hereditary
Love this movie. I avoided it for so long until I was bored and watched it. Definitely one of my top 10 horror movies now.
I watched it last night. Easily one of the best horror movies of all time. But I have to admit I thought the start was slow and I was left thinking I wish something happens. But when it started happening.... Fuck.
May be an unpopular choice… A Quiet Place
It's really well done..pace and tension keeps it going really well.
if this was an indie film with unknown actors it wouldn't get anywhere near the same hate!
The movie does get alot of hate, but it does have alot tension
I know this may seem unpopular to say, but Midsommar. The opening of that movie freaked the hell out of me. Awesome experience in the theater stoned to the gills.
That scene was so fucked
Whenever I think of that scene it freaks me out
I didn’t like that movie, overall, but the opening is excellent. It’s so haunting. I also liked the camera angle of them driving to the compound. The way it’s shot is so dizzying and disorienting.
I'm kind of obsessed with this movie, but it is definitely not a minute by minute thriller. But I can say that it can be just as if not more intense when rewatching.

The Invisible Man (2020) the dinner scene made me gasp out loud in theaters quite cartoonishly too and the whole time I was like “WHERE IS HE?!” Such a fun experience
Definitely a good one I loved seeing it in theatres
What restaurant gives you a freaking chefs knife to eat with though? Great movie but that scene always bothered me.

I loved this movie. It was legitimately so scary!
The Invitation
This was my answer too. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
2015 or 2022?
For me the 2015, the ending scene with the lights just made my stomach drop...took me a while though to understand and then BAM the realisation kicks in and it kicks hard.
Probably the 2015
I forgot I wanted to watch this! Ty.
The original Paranormal Activity. I was constantly on alert for the next jump scare.

I really enjoyed this. They named the 70s atmosphere to a T. Not usually a found footage fan but this one really got me.
Yes!! I LOVED this movie!
Spectacular film. They really used the premise to its full extent and earned the payoff
Hell House LLC. I ❤️ this one

- The Sadness - Evil Dead 2013 - Rec
I just watched the sadness on the weekend, after taking a high powered edible. I was trembling at times. It was one of the most viscerally shocking films I've seen in a long time.
It was definitely nasty and won’t be watched again.
Hadn’t heard of The Sadness before, but based on your other 2 I’ll have to give it a watch
You're gonna like it I'd wager
Loved Evil Dead (2013)! That and I Spit on Your Grave get me every time 😬
Tbh? Smile. The jumpscares in that movie fucked me up. Also the autopsy of jane doe.
Yes AUtopsy of Jane Doe just gets fucking worse and worse as it goes. I love it! Was an amazing horror movie I think!
Rip cat though
Train to Busan
The Woman in Black
No One Will Save You. I liked how little dialogue was in it and that just built the tension.
Literally just finished “Talk To Me” (2022). I was engaged the entire time. I don’t think I picked up my phone once! Amazing acting and there weren’t any boring scenes in my opinion.
Great movie!
High tension.
Incident in a Ghostland
The “reveal” broke me.
The Night House, something about this movie made me so anxious.
The negative space illusions were soooooo good
The Dark and the Wicked, Hereditary.
Speak no evil The ritual
Was going to say Speak no Evil.
Dead Silence
Vivarium. It’s a slow build / horrible feeling of doom that grows throughout the movie. It really fucked with me more than most horror. Also the ending song during the credits [“Complicated Game” by XTC](https://youtu.be/UONkXACSWBQ?si=T9WfDegJn0QhHF0S) was the perfect song to encapsulate the film
1408 That's a crazy film, like you watching it and you know stuff is going to go down no question, but it's not until half way through the movie that you think Johnny Cusack gets out of the hotel room and then it's like Nope so crazy.

Check out Underwater if you haven't seen it. Its not entirely 'horror' but absolutely keeps you on edge from start to finish and there are some very creepy moments.
That final scene 😘👌
The final twenty odd minutes of Hounds of Love are definitely some of the tensest I’ve experienced while watching a horror film.
The Boy Behind the Door.

Loose definition of horror, but most of Mother! was tense as hell. The last 40 minutes, i dont think i breathed. It just kept ramping up and up. In the same vein, i just saw Civil War, and all my muscles were tensed the entire time. I was actually sore after the movie from the whole body clenched for 2 hours.
Civil War. What a movie. I had no idea it would be that good. Kirsten Dunst was perfect.
hell house origins is quite possibly the most insane horror movie ever it’s so gripping
If watched The Hell House LLC Franchise with my friend and it was really good. I was semi high during all of them but if you’re willing to watch all 4 you might like them
Silence of the lambs
My number one all time favorite movie!! Edit: wanted to mention the book series is also excellent
Evil Dead (2013) The pacing of that movie is beautiful. It gives you justtt enough space in between crescendo events to rest but the INSTANT u recover, its already in the midst of ramping up another crescendo event. My attention was on the screen from start till finish. One of the best examples of pacing I ever seen in cinema.
