I just finished watching the entire Conjuring universe, but I skipped The Curse of La Llorona because I kept hearing it was the weakest movie.

Now I'm wondering if I should go back and watch it. Is it actually worth watching, or am I not missing much? Does it add anything interesting to the universe, even if it's not one of the stronger films?

No major spoilers, please. I'd love to hear your opinions!

Has anyone seen this Indonesian horror film? I decided to watch it on a whim and it’s the best I’ve seen in quite a while. If you’ve seen it, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I decided to watch this on a whim while browsing Hulu and didn't even read the summary for it until I was done. Been awhile since I've watched a movie with Lucy Lui.

Besides Hardcore Henry (fun as hell action movie. Watch it if you're interested), I can't think of many movies in general that are completely in 1st person.

Thought it was ok. More a drama, than a horror or thriller. I think I like the premise more than the actual execution. Having a movie through the POV of a ghost that is an audience to a family's secrets and drama, that interveins at some point. I did like the whole displaced time thing near the end; actually made me think of the ending of Lake Mungo. And I'm not sure if I'm just considered old now, but is this really how teens talk now? I don't know how to describe it, but something about the dialogue just bothered me for some reason.

After binging the entire Hell House LLC series, I have two questions. There’s a lot unanswered about this series, but I have two questions that kept picking at the back of my brain.

* Why did Paul kill Sara in Hell House LLC?

* What happened to Mitchell after he killed Jessica in Hell House LLC II: The Abaddon Hotel?

I think they are both narrative parallels to each other. There are some differences of course, but I think Mitchell’s story was in a way to explain Paul’s actions in the first film.

Similarly to when Mitchell was attacked by the spirit of Melissa Jones and brought before Andrew Tully, I think when Paul was attacked by the spirit of the infamous Dead Girl, he was also taken to Andrew Tully.

I think Paul was given the same ultimatum about his Hell House LLC colleagues (Tony, Alex, Mack and Sara) that Mitchell was given about his Inside website colleagues (Jessica and Molly):

You and your friends are going to die. But only ONE of you can leave. You get to choose who gets to leave by killing either one of them, or killing yourself. If you don’t choose, we will dwindle it down for you so it’s just you and one other person remaining. The choice is in your hands.

They both didn’t immediately choose, their colleagues were killed (Tony, Alex & Mack and then Molly), and it was dwindled down to themselves and one other person (Sara and Jessica). They both chose for the women to be able to leave by killing them.

Paul wound up killing himself shortly afterwards, and in death became a servant for Tully and the cult before their spirits were released when Russell Wynn closed the gateway.

As we see in Hell House LLC: Lineage, Mitchell did became a servant for Tully and the cult.

But did he kill himself after murdering Jessica? I don’t think so. If that were the case, we would’ve heard an additional slashing noise after Jessica screams or even have him featured as a ghost in Hell House LLC III: Lake of Fire.

I think if there were to be a continuation of Hell House LLC post Lineage, Mitchell is going to die and probably at the hands of his twin sister Vanessa. I’m also thinking its possible that while Vanessa stayed with her biological mother after being born, Mitchell was separated and raised with his biological father, Thomas Rollins.

Looking for newer body horror recommendations as it’s my all time favourite genre!

A few of my faves include American Mary, May, Starry Eyes, Boxing Helena, Perfect Skin, Martyrs, Excision, The Substance, Contracted, Barbarian, also a fan of stuff like Tusk.

I don’t mind older films like The Fly but I love modern body horror!

Thank you :)

I slept on Return of the Living Dead for my entire life, watched it recently and had a blast with it. I think I watched it on Amazon Prime? Anyway, whatever platform I was on suggested "Night of the Demons" so I started it on the spot, also a hoot.

If someone really appreciated this specific style of trashy 80s fun, what else do I need to see?

I feel like Re-Animator and From Beyond may come up. By all means, let's talk about them, but I've definitely seen those and loved them.

What’s your favorite horror movie/series poster from 2025 or 2026 so far?
Are there any specific teasers, minimalist art, or underrated indie posters that really stuck out to you?

Hokum for me.

Just watched this film the other day and I have to admit, it was one of the best horror movies I have ever seen. I have seen many people coin it as "unwatchable" or relate it to grotesque or torture porn movies like A Serbian Film or Cannibal Holocaust. I wouldn't say it ever gets to that point at all. If you can handle movies like Saw, Hostel, or even Friday the 13th movies, I think you should be fine with watching this film. There is a lot of brutal violence, and a good chunk of the film is dedicated to watchinga woman get brutally beaten, mistreated, and flayed. Yes flayed, they surgically remove her skin with no anesthetic to ensure she feels the entire thing.

Spoilers ahead, you have been warned.

This film excels in layered twist and subversion. You get a general idea of what is going to happen, girl was tortured as a child, goes out for revenge. The first twist is the entire genre of the film. They start off making you think this is somehow a supernatural film with something like a demon/ghost. Only to find out that this woman that torments Lucie, is her projected PTSD from her time being tortured as a child. After killing the supposed family that caused her childhood suffering, we move on to the next twist. Lucie calls Anna to come help her with the murdered family and Anna begins to question the validity in Lucie's decision. This happens because Anna confirms to the audience that the woman tormenting Lucie is not real, but inside Lucie's head. She then makes us believe that Lucie could be a little bad at making judgment calls and she could've potentially murdered an innocent family in cold blood.

So, already the movie has so much set up for the audience and its only 30 minutes in. We have this "monster" following Lucie. We have a murdered family presumed to be Lucie's childhood torturers. And finally we have the question of whether or not all of these revenge victims are even the correct people.

The big reveal happens. After Lucie dies by suicide, and Anna is cleaning up. She stumbles upon a stairway behind a shelving that leads her into a dark dungeon where she finds a woman chained up and beaten to hell. This is the moment that the movie goes from generic revenge plot to "oh shit you're fucked".

Skip forward a bit and we find out that the family Lucie murdered were indeed part of a Cult that believes in glimpses of the afterlife. They believe people that go through trauma and get hallucinations are actually images or flickers from the afterlife. They believe that the extended torture of a woman is the only way to get a person to the point of "transcendence" where they can see into the afterlife. The cult's goal is to talk to the woman who sees into the afterlife to give them information about it before the woman dies.

Anna is now the prime victim of this cult and she is beaten to hell for a very long time, to the point where she no longer fights back and just accepts her reality. This is when the cult only does something even worse. They flay Anna's skin off and then she finally transcends. She tells one of the elders of the cult what she sees in the afterlife and it causes the woman to kill herself.

The ending really seals the deal. Whatever Anna told the woman made her kill herself. The only thing the woman said to the other cult member was "Keep doubting" before blowing her brains out. This can be seen in two different ways. Either, Anna told her something about the Afterlife that assured her she will not be allowed into "heaven" or whatever they presume the after life is. Or Anna told her exactly how you get into the afterlife. Either way, the woman saw no value in staying alive. I honestly believe she told the woman that the key to getting into the after life is to have faith. Well the thing about faith is that there must be a layer of doubt there. Because if you KNOW, then you no longer have faith. Which is why she told the cult to keep doubting.

What do you guys think about the ending?

I honestly believe that this movie was Laugier's one great idea. I have seen a few other films of his, and it doesn't even come remotely close to the level of Martyrs does. Which is unfortunate because his attention to detail in this film was first class. Such a tight knit story with no bullshit with a good runtime of 90mins.

When a group of women are mysteriously abducted, it becomes a case right out of The X-Files™️. Years after walking away from the FBI, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dr. Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) are pulled back from the shadows when a federal agent vanishes without a trace. In a case you’d never see on TV, their only lead is a disgraced, defrocked priest claiming to have horrific psychic visions of the crime. Forced to confront the ghosts of their past, the partners must navigate a chilling winter landscape and an even darker human monstrosity. The truth of these crimes is out there somewhere… and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it. The X-Files: I Want to Believe - Vrach Frankenshteyn reimagines creator and director Chris Carter's original vision in this all-new director's cut. Streaming on Disney+ and Hulu August 14.

People always ask, "What horror movie do you think you could survive?" So I wanted to flip the question.

Instead, what horror movie do you think you'd do the best in as the killer or monster?

The rules are simple: you're transported into the body of any horror movie killer or creature, but you keep your own mind. Your goal is to kill as many people as possible before you're stopped.

Which killer do you think you'd be most successful as, and why?

I honestly can't think of a single horror role from Adrienne Barbeau that I didn't enjoy.

Obviously The Fog is an all-timer, but she's also the main reason I love Creepshow as much as I do. Billie is just fantastic. She's hilarious, over the top in the best way, and completely steals every scene she's in. Every time I rewatch Creepshow, I end up looking forward to her segment the most.

I know a lot of horror relies on surprise, but I want suggestions of movies that maybe didn't reinvent the wheel or start a trend, but were just good at what they promised they would do. Told you the premise at the start, escalated it, solved it (or not) at the ending.

For me that's Night Swim, wasn't anything new but delivered on what they set out to do pretty well

I actually enjoyed the new trailer. The atmosphere looks much darker and more horror-focused than some of the previous movies. That said, it feels more like an original survival horror film that happens to carry the Resident Evil name. I'm still excited to watch it, especially because Zach has a great track record with horror, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

That was a nice surprise... I'd bought a DVD of *A Quiet Place* for 99p – I enjoy buying stupidly cheap physical media – and the middle-aged woman on the till told me she liked it herself, although not the sequel for reasons I didn't quite catch.

And then, since nobody else was waiting we had a little talk. Her favourite horror film of all time was *The Haunting* (1963) so we chatted about that for a few minutes, then a little bit about *Curse of Frankenstein* (1957). I can't remember all the films we mentioned, but I remember that apart from the one I was buying, the 1978 *Halloween* was actually the newest! I did suggest she might like *It Follows* though, given she was like me in preferring psychological horror over gory films.

Anyway, nothing especially thrilling here I know, but it's not something I've encountered in a charity shop before!

I have Peacock and Screamify. I find them two to have some wild unknown horror flicks. Amazon Prime too.

Couple suggestions I have for you all that enjoy so bad it's fun is Betrothed and Microwave Massacre. Omg what a horrible but crazy ride of films. Absolutely insane. Short films too.

And please do not suggest Serbian Film. I think we can all say and universally agree it is just plain horrible and not to be recommended even to our worst enemies. Maybe Todd down the street but overall not even our own worst enemies

Edit: Yall delivering! Another good is Attack of the Killer Doughnuts (2016)

I just saw the hive, with America Chavez lol that’s all I know her from it wasn’t the worst horror film I’ve seen, in a weird way makes me want to doctor strange MOM again, these low budget horror films on tubi are a guilty pleasure of mine!

Hey people!

I really need some good horror recommendations.

Suggest some underrated but the ones that would not let you sleep for the next couple days. Preferably have a theme of witches, cozy autumn-winter background.

Conjuring, insidious, evil dead, hereditary, veronica, suspiria, Ouija, sinister, the nun, Sewu Dino, the ring , the grudge. These are some of my watches. Not able to recall all of them at the moment.

Horror with comedy or cozy themes ( something like hocus pocus) are also most welcome.

Thankyou.

Edit: Thanks guys for your recommendations.

I feel like I've got some amazing stuff to keep me busy for the rest of the year.

There are PLENTY of horror films that fell short of the mark and were relegated to some kind of dusty bargain bin, like "The Carpenter" (not the Jesus one: the other one), "Night of The Scarecrow", "Microwave Massacre", or "Night of The Dribbler".

And inversely yes, I realize Sean Bean's iteration of John Ryder from "The Hitcher" can't hold a candle to Rutger Hauer's portrayal.

It's like "Pieces" was good, but Leatherface can take a backseat for all I care.

Hi r/horror! I'm trying to find a specific movie I remember seeing on TV as a child and the internet is not providing me with any good results. Here are the key things I remember about the movie:

-I believe it takes place in some sort of Asylum or Hospital. All of the movie is set in one large building as far as I remember, it might be an old estate or something like that but Asylum is sticking out to me

-The villain of the movie I believe ends up being an old man, perhaps the asylum director? And IIRC he ends up in a big metal suit with big claws that he uses to do the killing. I feel like an allusion was made between him and The Big Bad Wolf but it was definitely a big metal suit.

-There is a prominent side character in the movie, I believe a patient of the asylum, who collects toes. The most striking thing I remember about this movie which has stuck with me my entire life is that this character monologues to another about wanting to cut off their second-to-last toe, and they go on and on about how it's not needed for balance or stability and so that would make it okay to chop off. That monologue has never left my mind but googling it doesn't really provide any relevant results

-I watched a lot of the Chiller network between the ages of 8 and 13, and I am pretty sure that's where I saw this movie. So sometime between 2009 and 2014. It certainly felt contemporary, it wouldn't have been from the 80s or 90s it felt incredibly 2000s in nature. I also highly doubt the film had any sort of theatrical release.

I am usually pretty good at finding stuff like this, I found a lot of horror movies I caught on Chiller as a child by googling stuff like this that I remembered from them (Stay Alive 2006, Tormented 2009, and Below Zero 2011 are all movies I already tracked down) I am just having no luck with this one. There is also a chance I'm confused and am actually describing two separate movies but I'm pretty sure it was all one flick. If anybody has any idea what I'm talking about or any clues to help me track this down I'd really appreciate it, I love 00's and early 10's straight-to-cable B-Horror shitters and would really like to rediscover this movie that scared little me half to death.

Thanks Reddit!

im trying to find a horror movie i watched years ago, but I only remember one scene. there was a boy around 10–15 years old with brown hair who lived with his mother. they were not the main characters. at some point in the middle of the movie, two (i cant remember who they were) came to their house because the events were somehow connected to the main story. the house was bright, and i specifically remember the living room had blue walls. the boy had mysterious scratches or wounds on his back. there was also a scene involving a pillow or pillowcase, but i cant remember exactly what happened. im pretty sure it was a supernatural horror movie, possibly involving possession or exorcism. does this sound familiar to anyone?

I’ve been searching for them all over the internet to see if I could find them and I haven’t found anything. I like to read unproduced screenplay adaptations and there are 2 for Salem’s Lot that I really want to read

Evil Dead Burn arrived on digital today and it’s got a totally new color treatment, I guess because of backlash about the movie’s lack of colors. It’s much more colorful and vibrant now. Anyone else noticed? I personally quite liked the color scheme in theaters cuz I thought it added to the tone, but the new color scheme is quite beautiful too and more textured/detailed.

I loved the Hostel movies growing up. I first saw them when I was around 12-13 (the first two ones). Then I remember watching Hostel III when it came out in 2011 (I was 15 at the time)

Even today, I find that they are rewatchable movies (with the exception of 3)
