Recommend some genuinely terrifying horror films?

[overture]

I've been looking a for a really good, horror film but every time I watch something that is supposedly terrifying I'm always left underwhelmed. Does anyone here have any real suggestions, something that is really fucked up and will keep me up at night? haha

Cheers

Id say check out some David Lynch films.

I saw Inland Empire for the first time recently, ppl either love it or hate it.

I liked it.

A few films that I did actually find scary

[Pistonsbeneath]

Jacobs ladder, Rosemary's Baby, Kill List

off the top of my head

Rosemary's Baby

really? i found it pretty creepy but i wouldn't say genuinely terrifying

[Pistonsbeneath]

it's if you really think about it and look into the background of it that it gets scary...I never get scared by anything new...I can see how kill list could freak people out but I ust assumed what happens in it was reality in the first place

The Room

[chekov]

it's if you really think about it and look into the background of it that it gets scary

might be worth a rewatch soon then...

the whole conspiracy side of it's pretty chilling

funny games is very creepy. theres 2 versions though, the american one is lot more polished but is filmed shot for shot like the austrian version made before it. id go for the american one though

Kill List

was coming in to say this - as good as any recent horror gets IMO. Proper sense of dread.

seen the funny games remake twice, decent watch but why list this in a terrifying horror fred?

won't lie doe, the very out of place music in that film made me jump at the time.

insidious has scary facez in it.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, I've already seen a couple of the ones mentioned and they are definitely good shouts! I'm gonna go and read up all of these, keep them coming.

i thought the situation in the film was terrifying.. if u disagree though, fair enough. a mate at work saw it and fell asleep he said, so each to their own.
