Horror movies I've seen
by viraleksa | created - 01 Jan 2015 | updated - 15 Apr 2020 | PublicSome of these movies are considered to be thrillers, fantasy or sci-fi but in my opinion they qualify as horror movies if they've been terrifying when I watched them. Sometimes it's hard to know the fine line between a thriller and a horror movie but I guess horror is when it is taken a step further than in a thriller. Sci-fi can be scary so many sci-fi movies have horror in them which is why it's hard to distinguish which it is more.
Then of course there's horror & comedy mixed with each other. If the movie isn't in any way scary I'll call it comedy (like the franchise Scary Movie, I'll add them on comedy list) but if it has something creepy about it I'll place it in horror even if it makes me laugh at times. One could also come up with a separate genre of monster movies since not all of them are horror - quite a lot of them sci-fi - but I think I can safely link monsters under the horror genre, after all traditionally monsters are supposedly scary.
I did also generously put some movies on this list that were called horror but did not in my opinion horrify or scare at all, just bored me and made me roll my eyes. But I guess even bad "horror" is horror; maybe I've been watching too many horror movies to be creeped out by most of the stuff in them that would make others cry out loud where as I'm thinking "For crying out loud!"
See also my other list "Horror Movies I Have Yet to See" for movies I haven't watched yet but am considering and hopefully will watch at some point.

Votes: 263,359 | Gross: $47.75M
Liked it even better than the first one, that possibly has something to do with the fact that Gary Dourdan is in this movie, but also somehow the storyline and the plot was more delicious in this one.

Director: Morgan J. Freeman | Stars: Mila Kunis, William Shatner, Geraint Wyn Davies, Robin Dunne
Votes: 17,856
Didn't like this either but possibly a bit more than the first because of Mila Kunis, a perfect choice for a psycho bitch killer, not that she is one, she was just really good at acting like one.

Director: Luis Llosa | Stars: Jon Voight, Jennifer Lopez, Eric Stoltz, Ice Cube
Votes: 111,998 | Gross: $65.89M
I do like some killer animal horror movies but it's a tough sell, it's hard to get it right. Anaconda was alright, passable but not great. J-Lo is wonderful of course but not even she managed to make the movie a strong one.
28. Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)
PG-13 | 97 min | Action, Adventure, Horror
A scientific expedition sets out for Borneo to seek a flower called the Blood Orchid, which could grant longer life. Meanwhile, they run afoul of snakes and each other.
Director: Dwight H. Little | Stars: Morris Chestnut, KaDee Strickland, Eugene Byrd, Johnny Messner
Votes: 33,865 | Gross: $32.24M
Liked it more than the first one largely because my lovely Johnny Messner is in this movie making it so good but also because there were a view scenes that just worked a lot better with a whole bunch of anacondas than they would've with just one, and they have a LOT of them in this one. The plot of going into the jungle in search of the fountain of youth sucks, though. Nevertheless this is one of two of my favorite jungle horror flicks (the other one's Primeval with the crocodile).
29. Anaconda 3: Offspring (2008 TV Movie)
R | 91 min | Action, Adventure, Horror

Director: John R. Leonetti | Stars: Ward Horton, Annabelle Wallis, Alfre Woodard, Tony Amendola
Votes: 175,258 | Gross: $84.27M
I liked it a lot, it really worked for me. I was doubtful in the beginning, how could a doll creep me out. Well, it wasn't the doll as much as what came with it. I find it a bit funny if people are scared of dolls or clowns etc., but I wasn't laughing now, this doll is messed up.

Votes: 15,167
A bad flop from the folks who made Paranormal Activity movies and The Purge, which are all great horror movies, btw. This one is just terribly bad.

Director: John Erick Dowdle | Stars: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, François Civil
Votes: 111,685 | Gross: $21.20M
Really liked it, scary good. I have a fear towards underground passages that people crawl into, and this one hit the nerve really well. Also the idea for this movie was a fascinating one and really worked for me. I'll think twice before going to any underground areas in France. They tell me that's where the gates of hell are... I doubt it but why take any risks, right?
41. The Atticus Institute (2015)
TV-14 | 83 min | Horror

Director: Chris Sparling | Stars: Rya Kihlstedt, William Mapother, Sharon Maughan, Harry Groener
Votes: 9,336
One of my favorite horror movies ever. I was pleased to be so positively surprised by a movie that wasn't even advertised all that much and then turned out to be a lot better than most horror movies. It's my favorite type, too, found footage horror. And it's got my favorite horror movie subject: possession. I'm sure I'll make someone mad by saying this but personally I enjoyed it more than The Exorcist. The Atticus Institute left me feeling uneasy, crept out jumpy and skittish and that's a definite sign a horror movie was a success, especially when it comes to someone who's seen a lot of them and gotten a bit numb about a lot of the usual horror movie classic ingredients. And the best part: based on reality. Or at least so it says in the beginning. Don't mess with the darkness, people; it'll mess you back.
42. Audition (1999)
R | 115 min | Drama, Horror, Mystery

Director: Takashi Miike | Stars: Ryo Ishibashi, Eihi Shiina, Tetsu Sawaki, Jun Kunimura
Votes: 89,213
Absolutely stupid, boring, ridiculous. There was no horror until the last 30 minutes or so and even then it was pretty dull. One of those artsy movies that are supposedly so amazing but are actually just a load of you know what. One of the worst movies I've seen.

Director: Alfred Hitchcock | Stars: Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette
Votes: 204,465 | Gross: $11.40M
I liked it, it wasn't very scary though, I'm not scared of birds even though I've been attacked by a couple of mad crows. But it was still enjoyable, I like most of Hitchcock's movies even though they don't really scare me.

I usually like found footage horror movies, my horror movie favorites are all the Paranormal Activity movies and the Spanish [Rec] movies. But this one was boring, stupid, lame, waste of my time. I can't believe that someone took a camera in the woods and shot a film in the dark about people running around screaming each other's names while the viewer sees just bushes and trees and branches. Furthermore I cannot believe that they were paid after doing this. And the icing on the cake: because it's a found footage film the camera work can be bad and they can just wave the camera around delivering poor quality footage and they still got paid. Brilliant. Nothing more than a bore.

Same review as the original The Blair Witch Project (see above). The new version didn't add anything to the previous movie, a bunch of idiots go in the forest, run around in the dark screaming and then die. I actually took a shower while watching this and played with my dog, cause there was nothing captivating about this. If I called the previous one a bore, then I'll call this a snore.

Chucky movies aren't good at all, and this one's no different. Stupid doll horror, nasty doll running amok, doesn't really scare me at all and mostly just irritates.

They could've done a much better job with it, they almost got all the ingredients for a possibly good horror movie: a boogieman, a slogan ("don't say it, don't think it") and a recognizable thing from which you know that "he" is coming (the coins). And then they made a flat pancake out of it. Wasted potential.

Loved it, one of my favorite horror movies. I inappropriately and loudly laughed my butt of at everything in the movie in the theater and made everybody else there laugh too. I loved how Chris Hemsworth's character met his end, loved all the horror movie clichés turned into jokes, loved that the hero was an unexpected one, loved that it wasn't predictable and typical, loved the people in the control room watching the young stereotype characters getting killed. Just goes to show horror can be so much fun!

Liked it a lot. Underground tunnels and caves are something that frighten me because people get buried alive in them, and so this kind of a movie really works for me. And when they add something creepy living in there attacking people going in there it's just so creepy good.

Like I said previously on this list about Bride of Chucky, Chucky movies are stupid, irritating, idiotic movies about a bad doll running around, ridiculous. You want a scary doll, watch Annabelle, and that movie goes to show that you can manage to make a good scary doll movie, so there's no excuse for Chucky movies to be so sucky. I can imagine a five year old or a ten year old maybe getting scared by these movies, a grown up really can't enjoy these at all.

Again, another horror favorite, really good job following the first one. I usually don't enjoy horror movies this much cause they are so poorly done but this one was really awesome. Left me happy. Now why can't everybody make this good horror movies? The Collector is definitely my new favorite scariest boogie man, a real merciless predatory killing machine. To survive this creature one will have to stop behaving like a human and find some animal instincts. Forget Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and Leatherface; The Collector is the thing from nightmares. Try and feel safe in your own home after these two movies if you can.
