Horror Movies?

For some reason some people confuse thrillers and jump scare as horror. Heck, the latter is more comedy to me than horror!

Here, things like that, such as the cheese fest that were 80s Slasher flicks, we consider them horror. I actually love the horror the genre, but because it's so ingrained into our thinking that those are horror that I can get away with saying "I don't like horror movies" and it will be understood as Friday 13th, Nightmare of Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the other cheesy "jump horrors" that make up a bulk of the horror movie genre.
What I consider horror, I like some of the classic horror movies (Nosferatu is my favorite), and I love the eerie creepiness of Japanese horror. I even love the Fatal Frame video games because I get sucked into the game, I see all these creepy ghosts, and I actually almost start to feel scared.

Jump scares and suspense normally leave me with a smile and a relief. Last week I saw a movie called Bone Tomahawk. It had a scene that practically made me cover my eyes with my hands in fear. That scene is what I call horror.

Someone had his scalp pealed, stuffed into his mouth, pushed in with a stick, turned upside down and got cut into half with a sharpened lower half animal jaw. All this while he's alive and naked.

Mirrors was pretty creepy for me.

The original Poltergeist was a good one.

I liked The Exorcist.

The Shining was decent too.

Seven was creepy/disturbing.

The 1977 film "The Car" is about a Hellish demon that manifests upon the Earth in the form of a black custom Lincoln/sedan and terrorizes a small town in Utah.

I grew up on stuff like Return of the Living Dead, The Burning, Pieces, a lot of Fulci/Argento, etc. One of the more modern horror films I fell in love with was Let The Right One In. I also had a lot of fun with It Follows, the TCM remake, and May.

Oh! I almost forgot about how much I enjoyed 28 Days/Weeks Later as well.
