What's the scariest film you've ever seen?
-
Paranormal Activity the original, while sitting alone in the middle of my friend's living room watching on his projector. The one and only time.
That's a great way to watch it
-
Possibly Martyrs. If you don’t know, then maybe avoid it.
::: spoiler The famous ending
The movie ends with the main character getting their skin surgically cut off their entire body.
:::Just watched this one last night and wish I hadn't. Though I don't think it's actually scary, just disturbing torture porn
-
Smile. The sequel is also quite scary but the first one is just...well fuck, it still haunts me. I'd say my tolerance for horror is medium maybe medium high. Some friends of mine can handle far worse, but for me the right amount of existential dread and horror is Smile.
When I saw Smile 2 in theaters I thought I was going to have a heart attack. That movie has the most intense jump scares I've seen in quite a while
-
Probably Jacob's ladder, 1990. Maybe not the 'scariest' but the most... unsettling/frightening one.
One of my favourites. I should probably watch that again sometime.

Try Nuovo Orden. Just a film I saw lately that stayed in my mind a bit longer.

One of the jumps startled a couple next to me who had a bunch of snacks and whatever was in their hand went absolutely flying. Every time they moved, you'd hear another thing fall to the ground. It unfortunately took me out of the movie a bit because it was so funny

The reason I think the first one is more frightening is for one, the sequel is...the sequel, we're aware of the nature of the entity is by the time we're watching the sequel and because of that, the discovery phase of the horror is slightly dulled. Don't get me wrong, its still terrifying, but part of the horror of the first movie is the absolute brutality of the reveal at the end. In the sequel, we can more reasonably suspect exactly how it's going to go down, with some admittedly intriguing caveats that keep the second movie interesting.
Secondly, I just feel like the protagonist of the first film is far more relatable than the protagonist of the second, but that's just a personal take. I think most fans of the franchise actually disagree with me on that one.
I will say that the sequel is very well done though and is just different enough from the first film to garner a watch as it's not solely a repeat of the beats from the first film.
I do very much love the Smile series as you can probably tell, and horror isn't usually my jam. Just this one...it did manage to terrify me in a unique way that I don't think I'll ever forget.

Lol, imho horror is one of those genres that actually is more effective when viewing it alone in a dark eerily silent house. But obviously that's solely to increase the anxious vibes.
I can only imagine watching Smile and Smile 2 in an empty theater for the first time would be absolutely terrifying though.

Honestly I'm really terrified with one film called Hatred (as I remember, maybe not 100% accurate), a film about Ethnic hates and cleansing on eastern Europe. It takes on the time during WW2, but god . . . Many scenes of the films is really makes me sick for nearly half of a day (or night at the moment when I watch that film)

Event Horizon.
