Favourite Thrillers and Horror movies

[Shell]

Roobs321 we came in here after, continued the discussion (a little) on Hitchcock.

/and obviously is the more appropriate thread.

I got a couple new horrors on DVD- Freaks and Follow Me.

Never seen either, and just grabbed them off the shelf at the library. Hopefully they're worth a watch- the cover of Freaks looks good in particular.

+ Rear Window and The Boys are on order.

Hopefully wont be too long.

Is that the 1930s Freaks?

Absolute classic if so!

 

[Cruyff14]

Unstoppable is a bloody great thriller. Edge of your seat stuff.

Nah mate, its a more recent movie.

Silence of the Lambs/The Shining/Se7en can't split them.

A couple of aussie thrillers I love are The Interview and Noise.

Freaks (2018) - IMDb

I saw this about a week ago and liked it.

It's not a horror film though. It's a sci-fi thriller.

More thriller than horror but a few that spring to mind immediately;

Patriots Day
Butterfly on a Wheel
The Bone Collector
Panic Room
The Informant
The Foreigner
The Firm
Primal Fear

Primal fear, my wife only recently watched it

Spoiler

when the twist at the end happened, the look on her face. Priceless. In the same vein as Usual Suspects and Sixth Sense

Yeah thats ok. I hate sci-fi usually, but there's always exceptions to the rule. I like the sound of it.

Such a brilliant film.

Yep.

As a Thriller, The Perfection gets a big Chefs Kiss from me. Thoroughly enjoyable

Hills Have Eyes remake was amazing.
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Descent
Prometheus (Thriller)
The Fourth Kind (This one gave me a cold shudder through out the entire movie, had to go straight to google after it)
Sinister 1
Conjuring 1&2
Don't Breathe
Deliver us from evil (one of my favs)
Belko Experiment (blood bath)


Overrated

Us
Hereditary
Get Out

Whilst I’d probably agree US wasn’t great, I’m not sure it was hugely rated.

Hereditary and Get Our are excellent and frankly a mile better than anything else on your list.

Completely agree re. overrated

Yep, didn't go much on them either.

I like the inclusion of The Fourth Kind on the list. That was great movie. A different fear factor

 

[Shell]

I am intrigued by this film

Never heard of it tbh

 

[ShooterMcGavin8]

I remember when I was younger I was watching Insanitarium I think it was called. Still in my mind I'm not sure why. So is house on haunted hill. Weird flashbacks

I remember googling horror movies for a binge night. And it was ranked #4 on their all time horror list behind Pyscho, Alien and another film I can't remember. I really didn't like US. weird af

I didn’t mind Us but it wasn’t great.

Get out and hereditary are both exceptional films.

Hills Have Eyes - pathetic torture porn
Texas Chainsaw Massacre - original is good, remake is average
Descent - really good
Prometheus - terrible
The Fourth Kind - this movie is awful.
Sinister 1 - fine
Conjuring 1&2 - great
Don't Breathe - fine
Deliver us from evil - is this the eric bana one? I’d say forgetable at best
Belko Experiment - haven’t seen it but premise is interesting and the cast is good.

It 2 (the most recent) also fell very flat but I don't think it was rated highly.

Yes, how dare I rank and rate films in a thread designed for ranking and rating films.
