Hate most the new ones so there is two birds with one stone. My favorite is probably John Carpenter's The Thing and is basically my mark to compare all the other trash.

Favourites:
The Blair Witch Project Jaws The Texas Chainsaw Massacre The Innkeepers Snowtown
Least favs:
Virtually anything paranormal that's come out for the past 10 years House of 1000 Corpses Silent Hill: Revelation The Darkest Hour The Last House on The Left The Hamiltons Aliens vs Predator: Requiem Saw 2 - 7
Horror is such a tricky genre to get right. There's barely any horror films in the cinemas now that I find scary and most tend to start off well but end up sucking by the end of the movie. Only recent examples I've really enjoyed are Get Out and It Follows, and Green Room (If you can call that a horror)

Love horror and I'm a huge fan of slasher movies. I've watched all the classics and I particularly enjoy the cheesy, low budget efforts from the 80s.
I think this decade has been a really weak era for the genre. All the tropes have been done to death and there's very little originality. It Follows is the clear standout for me.
The Paranormal Activity franchise has been a guilty pleasure of mine (probably alone in this). I particularly enjoyed The Ghost Dimension.

My roommate just bought the legendary 1970’s adaptation of Nosferatu done by Werner Herzog. Should be a great watch!

I personally hated It Follows. Damn, that's a shame. I loved that film. The OST, atmosphere, and cinematography are what drew me in so much to it.

Any of ya'll have any wild experiences at the cinema when watching horror films?
A teenage couple where sitting a few seats down from us and the girlfriend threw up in her popcorn during the baby execution scene of The Witch.
Another great one was when we went to see Tusk and an older lady brought her two children (~7 years old at most) and sat down next to us. I leaned over and told her the movie was rated R and she might want to rethink this decision. "Oh, it's fine. They're fine." Okay. They made it not even five minutes into the movie and she had to escort her children out as they're crying their eyes out.

I personally hated It Follows. It's one of the only genuinely original horror ideas that is actually scary that has come out in what feels like forever. Totally get why you might not dig it, but for originality alone it's worth seeking out.

They were my favourite when I was getting into the genre. The Ringu and Ju-On franchises and Dark Water were my favourites. Quite enjoyed the remakes too.

I enjoyed the original "One Missed Call", and "Audition" was spectacular. That's been a sub genre I've been meaning to get into for some time.

This just reminded me, I stumbled upon this review site called Snowblood Apple back in the 00s: www.mandiapple.com/snowblood/index2.htmIt was a really good source to find out about Asian horror/extreme cinema. Some of their recommended films are gems.

These movies definitely lose something when they're remade by Hollywood. I think The Ring was the only one that genuinely did it well.
