Lights Out sucked. Is the horror genre dead?

Lights Out sucked. Is the horror genre dead?
Can anyone rec me some genuinely creepy movies that don't involve jump scares? I need something obscure from like the seventies that's black and white that really fucks with your head.

>rec
yeah rec was pretty spoopy

but has jump scares

the 70's already had color senpai, seen possession?

horror has been dead for the last decade m8

I haven't but I've heard it relies a great deal on gross out violence, which is also cheap.
I just feel like I'm going to really have to dig into some obscure shit before I find something I think is genuinely scary, it'll probably be spanish or some shit too.

but not all jump scares are bad

>really fucks with your head.
go watch The Beyond ('81). Come back in 90 minutes and talk about wat.

>I haven't but I've heard it relies a great deal on gross out violence
i don't think so, watch it. also you can't just jump straight into the obscure stuff without going through the mainstream ones. Maybe try Santa Sangre

Not at all you fucking halfwit. Just this year saw The Conjuring 2 and Don't Breathe, and last year saw It Follows, The Witch, Bone Tomahawk.

is this b8? at this point i can't tell

>I need something obscure from like the seventies that's black and white that really fucks with your head

I doubt you'll be satisfied. Most horror movies from that era were trying to piggyback off the success of The Exorcist. Horror always goes through trends. In the 70s it was demon movies, 80s-90s had slasher movies, then torture porn, then found footage.

No it's not wrong. Watch more movies and be less le wrong generation you retarded fuck.

Black christmas
Ringu
Inland empire
Henry: portrait of a serie killer

These scared me the most out of the ones ive seen and arent too similar to eachother
Not very obscure but most obscure horror is pretty bad

nigga I've been watching horror movies since I was an edgy middle schooler, I'm burnt out of the mainstream shit.

Somehow I blame global warming for horror movies not being scary anymore.

>Do I shit taste in movies?
Yes. Yes you do.

Won't fuck with your head, but the atmosphere is amazing.

>Lights Out sucked.
were you actually expecting it to be good? It's based on a fucking youtube clip of course it's gonna be shit

>Somehow I blame global warming for horror movies not being scary anymore.
I blame the lack of diverse voices in Hollywood.

Seen this one good rec

Have you seen this? Some more Bava.

Eraserhead is a solid rec, but I didn't literally mean the movie had to meet the criteria of OP, I was sort of exaggerating. Just genuine creeps would be nice.

Or this?

Try Kill List if you wanna get spooked.

why did they add eyes, it looked way creepier as just a silhouette

It is extremely Lynchian though so that should be noted. Eraserhead can only called enjoyable if you really, really like the surrealist aspects of his work.

It's a lack of subtlety, I think people are going to end up getting tired of jumps and gore and the industry will have to adapt by bringing back the eerie, subtle, psychological horror.

You might want to make that clear in the OP since this board is filled with autists like myself who take all things literal.

Love this movie, stick through it and it's totally worth it

Indeed, it's certainly not everyones cup of tea.

Anybody know of any movies that give you that feeling of something being off? The only way I can describe it is the same feeling you get when you're watching a commercial that becomes scary half way through. Or how the end of Sleepaway Camp was.

Horror movies don't scare me at all. But when something breaks, as in establishes a tone or logic and then completely abandons it, that's when it gets me and is the best shit IMO

yet you've never seen possession? Seen santa sangre already? It's in spanish

>retard is illiterate
shocked

When I was 6 or 7 years old my mother went psychotic and watched it on repeat for a month or two. She had pulled me out of school and made me watch it with her day in and day out.

Still holds up.

Check out Tourist Trap. It's pretty unique albeit a little incoherent at times.

One of the very, very best of the last decade. Very rewatchable too since you'll always notice new things.

also you, go watch if you want something that gives you that exact feeling of something being "off".

>looking for modern horror made by Hollywood

top kek

I've seen quite a few of these and disliked each one.

Southbound, it's not scary nor creepy, but it was probably the most interesting horror I've seen in a while, despite the budget.

If you think it sucked. You don't even like Horror.

This movie was such shit, holy god.

Exorcist III

You're an ADHD 13 year old pleb if you think this was shit

>all jump scares
>extremely predictable
>done to death plot
>monster is just the witch from left4dead
aight

Literally what the fuck are you talking about. Are we talking about the same movie?

You're talking about Lights Out but the guy you're responding to was talking about Kill List. That's embarrassing for you.

Don't spoiler anything but does Kill List have supernatural elements? If not, I'm not really interested.

check out the guest

Nope

No.

Black Christmas sounds just what you need

Ah, too bad. Maybe I'll eventually give it a shot but not what I'm in the mood for right now.

Drop of water part was great.

>talking in whispers
>everything goes silent
>camera zooms in
>LOUD NOISE

So bored of this crap.

>I havent seen it but I'm not going to watch it because I heard something about it that isn't true

man what a faggot, you don't deserve any other suggestions

Oh fuck off.

First of all, it was never scary. Creepy, yes, but not scary. Second, that shit ending completely ruined what was so far a 9/10 film.

Goddamn this movie makes me so angry.

Ending makes it better I loved it. The fact that it pisses people off makes me smile.

brb rewatching Kill List, I forgot that it's only like 90 minutes long. It felt longer, but not in a bad way. Anyway, hope the thread is alive later.

Like others have said you might like Eraserhead. Also from Lynch, Fire Walk With Me is essential horror and I'd argue it's one of the most terrifying films ever made (you need to watch the series beforehand otherwise you won't understand a thing).
Suspiria is another classic horror film I heartily recommend. It's very surreal and bizarre with lots of little unsettling things and some of the best visuals in any film. Watch Profondo Rosso and Inferno if you liked it.

A vast majority of these are piss poor. The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears is great though, but very bizarre. Berberian Sound Studio is very good as well.

Very curious as to why Fire Walk is horror. No b8

The way it's filmed is very cold and slow, creating a real sense of uneasiness throughout. Laura Palmer's story is utterly hopeless and even before watching the film you know she is a doomed character. The only thing you can do is watch her futile struggle. The trauma she suffers is very intense and Sheryl Lee is spectacular in that film. And BOB really is fucking sadistic and totally creepy.
