I love horror but apparently I don't vibe with a lot of recommendations I find online.

I'd seen so much hype about Event Horizon and I absolutely hated it and didn't find it scary. I just watched Late Night With the Devil and whole it was definitely enjoyable, it wasn't the least but frightening. I also just watched Let the Right One In and really didn't like it. It also was not a horror movie in my opinion.

I will say one of my favorites is Sinister or the first Conjuring. Sinister for the stomach twisting dread and suspence throughout and Conjuring for the same.

So, what movies do you find to be the scariest?

The latest one that got to me, was "When evil lurks" (Cuando acecha la maldad). A pretty fast-paced horror from Argentina.

And my favourite one before that was "The Descent". A claustrophobic horror following a group of cave explorers.

This movie was so good until the end. I was like "oh, ok.".
