Can anyone recommend any “scary” horrors? Nothing too old or the mrs won’t watch it.

Most of the horrors I’ve seen lately are the usual, poor script, not even scary nonsense which the genre seems to spew out.

Recently we watched was sinister and haunting of hill house which was great , we tried hereditary last night which I found quite poor

La Revolution - Netflix - french horror series.

Kingdom - Netflix - Korean zombie series.

Both very good but subtitles take getting used to.

Haven’t seen a decent Horror film since Puppet master or Candyman.

Thanks

Film wise, I do recommend sinister, certainly up there for the best horror I’ve watched for a while

A few I watched recently

Terrifier - scary clown film, makes the clown from IT look like Mr Tumble, think you can rent it from YouTube but it comes on the horror channel, it's actually on tomorrow so can record it if you have Sky Q.

Orphan - Netflix, couple adopt a creepy kid who seems great at first but things soon start to go wrong.

Hush - Netflix, deaf author who lives by herself gets stalked by masked killer.

Unfriended and it's sequel Dark Web - Netflix, bunch of friends on Skype having video calls until some spooky stuff starts to happen. It's shot entirely from a perspective of watching a Skype call so you might not like it but both films are decent.

Conjuring 2, really?
I thought it was quite probably the worst film I have ever seen.
The atrocious rendering of somewhere that wasn't England portraying England was risible, the plot was apalling the only plus point was Vera Partridge (or whatever) who is very easy on the eye.
My wife who has bad taste in most things "enjoyed" it.

Let The Right One In Original 2008 version

It Follows

and of course The Wicker Man Original version. The Nicolas Cage version is an abomination to be avoided at all costs.

I found Platform (Netflix, Spanish with subtitles) really interesting.

To the Lake- pandemic based series in Russia between Moscow and the middle of nowhere. Probably more thriller than horror but its very well done and quite tense throughout. On Netflix

Don't Breathe - Standard horror film but done really well, quite scary without relying on gore.

A Quiet Place - Missed the beginning as I assumed it would be yet another dreadful horror but I was forced to eat humble pie, tense and a good film in general.
