    Oculus (2013) is, despite its shortcomings, one of the best horror movies I’ve seen.
    Maybe because I have siblings, maybe because I’m attracted towards occult and paranormal movies, but it was a fantastic ride from beginning to end.

    As a show, not a movie, the excellent Archive 81, which again is a flawed gem, but has one of the best soundtracks a horror movie could ask.
    Now and then I’ll play it and it needs mere seconds to make my skin crawl.

    If we go a bit back, I love Night of the Hunter, not scary per modern standards, but a fantastic story that is seldom seen nowadays.

      just watched oculus due to this recommendation, wild fucking ride. very enjoyable and unique. was glad to not see another supernatural formulaic jump-scare based ‘horror’ movie. has its flaws, but i recommend it to others.

        Huzzah!

        Edit:
        There are other recommendations that come from the same director, from great to OK:

        • The haunting of Hill House
        • Doctor Sleep
        • Midnight Mass
        • Ouija: Origin of Evil
        • Before I wake
