More horror/suspense than gore so would probably go for Don't Look Now.

Horror films don’t scare me as I know they’re a film. But the exception to the rule

was the Blair Witch Project, it actually had me on the edge of my seat. I get some people don’t like it and I’ve only watched it once, but I enjoyed a film that really got to me.

Eden Lake also had the same but not as dramatic effect on me.

Favourite horror film is like a favourite child, difficult to say, but Alien as I read the book prior to seeing the film.

I'm not sure if it's classed as a horror or psychological thriller, but Gerald's game is incredibly good.

In my younger years I loved horror, real xxx rated 70s/80s films.

The Beast Within and Mad Man Mars were my favourites as a kid

Somewhere In The Ether…

I rewatched a golden oldie horror flick on YouTube the other night that I haven’t seen in absolutely years; ‘Psychomania’ (aka The Death Wheelers).

Ok, so it’s not exactly a great one but it is bloody fun!

For anyone who’s ever seen it, you’ll certainly never forget it….

I was having this exact conversation with a friend the other day.

For jumps and some subtle creepy bits I’d have to say the original Paranormal Activity, but I think that’s only because I was alone in the building, all the lights off at 2am, watching it on a little portable TV almost nose to screen with it…

For actually creeping me out and looking at ordinary things in a different way, like walking up or down a flight of stairs or taking a shower, then Final Destination.

Gore/slasher/zombie films are a bit ridiculous, but I still love ‘em.

Oh, and the track on The Blair Witch Project OST by Skinny Puppy was great, but nerve-jangly.

I can't really narrow it down but a few off the top of my head

Get Out

The Witch

Train to Busan

Cronos

Rec

Under the Shadow

And Midsommar deserves another mention (I'm patiently waiting to watch The Green Knight by the same studio, not a horror though).

Most of mine have been said, event horizon, rec, the ring, the wickerman and of course midsommar. midsommar is a difficult one for me though as had it ended slightly differently I would have probably hated it.

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact

Host(2020) is the scariest movie scientifically, toppling former no1 ranked Sinister (2012). A study measured viewers' average heart rate increase. Google 'Science of Scare' if you're at all interested.

Sinister by a long margin, Host and The Babadook both for tension would be my picks.

The Ring films, both US and Japanese versions, were creepy at the time but on recent second viewings have far less impact. The Omen and The Exorcist scared me but I admit I was just a child when I managed to watch them sneakily on VHS.

I got in a bit of an argument with a girl at work over what happened to the boyfriend. Yes he’s a bit of a wanker but truly deserves his end (trying not to spoil the film)

Also her smile, the stuff happening in the background all of the time is as interesting as the characters talking…I could go on, just loved it

I found the ending to be very sad in fact - not your usual horror ending at all.

I love the original Lost Boys and the original wickerman, Van Helsing was pretty cool, Underworld was brill, Blade was ok, Silent Hill was fab, and dracula themed hammer horrors are still good too.

I enjoyed the original Matrix (if you can class it as a horror), HellRaiser was good... so many to choose from.

what lies beneath is more of a chiller than a horror,

Two more from very different eras:

The original silent Nosferatu made by Murnau in 1922. The template for so many horror films which followed.

Get Out from 2017. Funny, scary and thought provoking, a rare combo in any film.

Here’s an absolute classic that I urge all black and white era horror fans to watch: 1957’s, The Curse Of The Demon (aka The Night Of The Demon) (not to be confused with the Bigfoot film by the same name though…..which is actually rather shit)

I love horror films (even though I'm too scared to watch them alone).

Nightmare on Elm Street scared the bejeezus out of me, and so did Friday the 13th.

The most recent film to really scare me was Signs.

A lot of horror now has been done to death.

Amen to Nosferatu!

Still after all this time, the scariest looking vampire to ever Grace the screen. The remake by Werner Herzog starring perennial looney, Klaus Kinski is well worth a watch too and carries a beautiful dream like quality to it.

Great films and great soundtracks (not least of all Accept’s, Fast As A Shark being played during the motorbike/katana scequence!) Italy produced some really fun horror films in the late seventies/eighties with directors such as Lucio Fulci (Zombi 2 aka Zombie Flesh Eaters) on top form

I believe Herzog shot his version almost scene for scene the same as Murnau's? And yes, Kinski was born for that part!

Sixth Sense if you can consider that horror.

Also Mike Flanagan's Netflix series - The haunting of hill house and The haunting of Bly Manor.

It was so good wasn't it? The rites of passage, the pagan elements. The absolutely beautiful cinematography, the creeping sense of dread, the careful handling of mental health issues.

The symbolism is incredible, all the little details that unfold on second, third whatever viewing. The boyfriend 100% had it coming. And it makes me want to wear a floral crown so win.

American Werewolf in London, The Thing, The Lost Boys, Hellraiser and the Evil Dead franchise are some of my favourites.

Halloween, Scream and Friday the 13th when it comes to slashers.

Oh and Return of the Living Dead is a great horror comedy.
