Kill List is the nastiest movie I can remember watching. I wish I could unsee it.

Horror sub-genres I won't watch:

Torture porn, slasher movies, zombies, satanic cults, vengeance upon bullies, demonic possession of benign object, home invasion.

I tried to watch Wolf Creek a few times and it is just too real.

The whole torture porn genre doesn't really do it for me. Love the ghosty/paranormal stuff myself.

Saw a good Aussie indie one last year called speak to me or possibly talk to me, anyway worth checking out.

Yeah, it was Talk to Me. Good film

I’m absolutely fine with horror films, gory and violent films don’t do much for me on their own. Most of the time I find them more funny than anything, because the acting isn’t always the best and truly good horror movies are a rare beast.

What I struggle to re-watch though are films that make me emotional. Films that frighten me psychologically, which make me doubt humanity.

Schinder’s List, for example, is an absolutely brilliant film that I’ve only watched once because it messed me up for weeks afterwards and I don’t fancy going through that again.

Nil By mouth and Requiem for a dream leap to mind in this category. Both brilliant I am not going through that again

The Deer Hunter did the same to me, affected me big time.

I have avoided horror films completely since I watched the Shining.

The Woman In Black - the first one, shown on Channel 4 in 1989(?), with THAT scene - those of you that have watched it will know what I’m on about.

Anyone see The Substance? I love horrors, & that’s absolutely the most uncomfortable watch I’ve ever experienced at the cinema. Lots of blood, gore, and violence. Multiple people walked out of the screening. Definitely made with the big screen and surround sound of a cinema in mind.

Indeed.

I love the Hammer Horror films, but almost entirely because of the heaving bosoms.

Anything with genuine cruelty, nastiness, torture and misogyny, you can shove up your arse.

Watership Down. Got it out of Blockbusters for me kids when they were about 4 and 2. Thought it'd be a cute little tale about lickle bunnies hopping about the place. F*ck me, where was the warning that it was a slasher movie?!! Had to dive for the Eject button earlydoors before I traumatised the kids for life

The Descent. The creepy cave ghouls not a problem, but the scenes were they are trying to squeeze through tight spaces messed with my head.

I can't really handle body horror, at least not the overly gratuitous stuff.

I don't mind gore etc. I just prefer horror that seeps into the psyche and makes me want to sleep with the lights on.

Indeed. Proper horror is something like the original Wicker Man. Deeply unnerving stuff. The only time the gratuitous gore works is he's it's done a little tongue in cheek like the Evil Dead.

the torture p orn films they were a fetish for sicko’s. The films that scared me were the realistic ones like Eden lake the brutal violence of teenage pack mentality.

I've just read your quote of my post and was horrified to see that auto correct decided to change Lon Chaney Jr's name to Leon Charney Jr. I've corrected it now.

I made it through to the end by continually thinking that it can't get any worse and then realising 'OMG it has.' The last 20 mins are insane but none of it is an easy watch.

The most horrific ending was The Mist
