1- “The Descent”- A group of adventurers explore a system of underground caverns and soon realize they are not alone. This movie is one of the scariest of the last couple of decades and will have you feeling claustrophobic, if not gasping for air. It draws on many horror tropes and enjoys playing with the audience’s expectations.
2- “Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum” – A video crew explores an abandoned asylum where they find the hauntings to be very real. Although it offers nothing groundbreaking to the genre, it succeeds by being genuinely terrifying. The movie builds up effectively, making it difficult not to squirm in your seat.
Honorable mention: “Grave Encounters”. Although it is similar to “Gonjiam”, both movies are genuinely creepy and well worth a watch.
3- “The Taking of Deborah Logan”- A film crew documents a woman’s battle with Alzheimer’s, but they find her nightly wanderings increasingly disturbing. The film excels at making the audience feel for the character’s mental decline while questioning whether her condition is something supernatural. The ending will leave you satisfied, if not repulsed, making for an overall unsettling watch.
4- “Paranormal Activity”- A couple moves into a new home where a dark presence seems to awaken while they sleep. This movie became a pop culture phenomenon upon its 2007 release and is still considered one of the scariest and most stressful horror movies to this day. The tension in the movie builds up effectively, making it difficult not to be scared.
5- “The Poughkeepsie Tapes”- Law enforcement discovers hundreds of tapes of torture and murder recorded by a deranged serial killer. Although it is not real, the realistic footage in the movie makes it extremely creepy and will leave a lasting impression on anyone who watches it.
