The Ghost of Hill House, 1963





No special effects, no CGI, no rubber monster, just good, scary writing and acting. IN complete loneliness. In the night. In the darkness…

"The Serpent and the Rainbow", 1987



"Substitution", 1979



This is a low budget ghost story, not gory or anything. this kind. However, a couple of weeks after watching this movie, I could not sleep okay.

"Langoliers", 1995



The Langoliers is the scariest movie I've ever seen. It even caused me some mental health issues and on several years led to a state of paranoia. But no one takes my words seriously.

"Threads", 1984



This is a realistic view of what would happen if a nuclear war happened.

"Green Room", 2015



I want to honorably mention the "Green Room". There is something frightening about about being locked in the middle of nowhere in a space where everyone outside wants kill you.

"Contagion", 2011



I made the mistake of watching this movie on a flight to business trip to Hong Kong, the epicenter of the outbreak. Anxious, mild speaking.

"Sphere", 1998



"Twin Peaks: Through the Fire", 1992



Mothman, 2002



Every time I watch this movie, I notice different things. For example, character reflections in mirrors will be out of sync.

"Pontypool", 2008



The film has a unique atmosphere: we spend most of our time at a remote radio station. After a while they start coming reports of riots and massacres. All information comes through caller testimony, eyewitness accounts, and radio broadcasts. This is very disturbing and upsetting. Your imagination can't imagine everything the horrors that are happening.

"The Fourth Kind", 2009



After watching this movie in the cinema, I couldn't sleep for fear that aliens are going to abduct me.

"Road", 2009



The best movie you will never want to watch again.

What was really scary about the movie was that it didn't "monsters" or even psychopaths in the traditional sense of the word. Just... people driven to despair.

"Through the horizon", 1997



"Descent", 2005



Probably my favorite horror movie because it made me really spooked. Horrors are usually ridiculously trite, but The Descent is this is a movie that really evokes a feeling of fear with the theme of isolation and claustrophobia. Even if there were no evil beings in this movie, I would still stunned at the mere thought that I would be cut off from the world in such a deep dark cave.
