Poll of the Day > What are some good horror movies

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm finished with Hellraiser 1-8. Pretty good, 9-10 are unwatchable though.

I like the hell theme. Is there any good horror movie about hell?

Hell if I know.

I enjoyed The Ninth Gate, but it's kinda fringe. (It's somewhat like Lord of Illusions given that there's a mystery element and increasingly supernatural shit happening.) And M. Night Shymalan's Devil was surprisingly not terrible. Granted, none of those actually take place in hell itself. The first thing to jump to mind when I think of a horror-esque movie involving hell is Hell and Back, although that's a stop-motion film or something and it's not actually scary or, for the most part, even all that funny.

Ur mom

Of course, if you're really desperate and are okay with something fairly abysmal, you could try checking out Satanic (2016). It stars Sarah Hyland (Haley from Modern Family) who, along with the group of friends on a supernatural tour, encounter a girl who looks like she was going to be sacrificed by a cult. They go back to their hotel, perform a satanic ritual, and all hell breaks loose (somewhat literally)

That one from the 80s where the ground breaks open in the people's backyard. You know the one.

Hell and Back

Oof

Why is this genre cursed with terrible movies?

Adult Swim had Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. It was Adult Swim, though.

Poltergeist (the 1980s version; not the most recent)
Any British 1960s movies that have Quartermass as the main character (specifically one million miles to Earth
Agree with: Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Psycho (original Hitchcock version), Exorcist (original) but would throw in the 1980s Omen series (especially the first movie).

Final Destination 1-3
4 and 5 weren't as good as the originals.

My favourite death was the optician office one. I laughed at the disemboweled boy

Alien
Exorcist
The Thing
Poltergeist
The Fly
The Shining

Basically just movies that I like.
Make sure you eat while watching Exorcist and the Fly

Eh, for all its problems, it was an alright watch and did something different. Speaking of cursed with terrible movies, Cursed was a terrible movie. (Although the film *did* give us that gif of a werewolf flipping the bird which I can't use any more here because I started getting modded for it.)
