Hi! My mom and I are avid scary movie watchers, and we have decided to create a list of what we find to be the scariest movies of all time, along with reasons why they are rated as such.
If you have made it to this page, you are probably searching for movies that will absolutely terrify you, and are therefore worth watching during this spooky season. We have found ourselves in this predicament of not being able to find a scary movie that is up to our standards of scary. We look online at lists that people have made, but see movies we are less than impressed with. Too often we find ourselves starting a movie, only to be disappointed by it's lack of suspense/psychological thrill/overall terror. We have decided to spend the next two months, watching all of the scary movies we can, and rating them , on a scale of 1-10 (1 being not scary at all, 10 being guaranteed nightmares.)
This movie receives a 2/10 on the scary scale. This movie, while creepy because of its cult involved plot line, was not scary. Overall, this was an interesting movie, but definitely not scary. Rated R and watched on Amazon Prime Video.
This movie is a horror film full of action and suspense. It is an overall enticing movie to watch and a 5/10 on the scare scale. The eerie element thrived with the main character being deaf; you can really empathize with how absolutely terrifying it would be to be in her situation, while not being able to hear the intruder. This movie is rated R and we watched on Netflix.
Sinister is a creepy movie, filled with suspenseful moments guaranteed to make you jump. On the scary scale, we rate it a 6.5/10. We agree that this is an interesting movie, and a good watch, BUT it is not going to cause any nightmares. Worth the watch, but not high on the scare scale. This movie is rated R and was watched on Netflix.
The scariest movie as of yet! We rate this movie a 7.5/10 on the scare scale. It is definitely worth the watch, and is very outside the box in regard to scary movie ideas. A lot of jumping from your seat, and even might haunt you as you try to fall asleep. This movie is on Amazon Prime video and is rated R.
We love this movie. it is based on true events, which always makes a scary movie even scarier. On the scary scale, we are going to give it a 6.5/10. This is a good movie, and absolutely insane that it has some truth to it. It also is very creepy, along with having a good cast! For sure worth the watch. We have this movie on DVD but I am sure you can find it on a streming site; it is PG-13.
This movie is a 8/10 on our scare scale; it is based on a true story, which certainly adds to its high scare value. If you find the idea of other life, beyond humans, to be absolutely terrifying, we are recommending this for you. It is definitely different from any of our other movies we have rated thus far, and is a must watch. Watch with the warning that the creepiness of this movie may follow you, as you try to sleep. Rated R.
Paranormal Activity is a movie that, when you first watch it, you will definitely have a chilling experience. We are giving this movie a 7/10 on the scare scale. It has suspense that will have you jumping off your couch, along with overall themes of the paranormal interfering with the lives of the couple in the movie. Very creep, and will have you thinking twice before hanging your foot off the side of the bed. Rated R, can be watched on Netflix.
Silence of the lambs receives 3/10 on the scary scale. The overall storyline is very creepy, especially since it is rooted in the true story of the serial killer Buffalo Bill. The movie is creepy, and worth a watch, but does not offer any sort of high level fright. This movie is rated R and can be watched on Netflix. We would suggest this to anyone interested in scary movies that are interesting but not too high on the scare scale!
Okay, yes this movie is technically made for a child audience, but re-watching it as an adult really opens your eyes to its extreme creepiness. While watching, we decided that this movie seriously remind us of the movie Sinister, and that if it were not animated, it would not be considered a child's movie. Whether you think it is made for kids or not, we recommend watching it as an adult for you will have a new appreciation for it. We give this movie a 6/10 since it is made for a child audience, but it creep as hell.
This movie is rated PG-13. We enjoyed watching it, but found a lot of it to be pretty cheesey. It is definitely a different style of movie, and we really liked it, but overall it was not high on the scare scale. We are giving it a 4/10 and we watched it on Netflix.
WE LOVED this movie. It is not-rated and VERY creepy. It is a great halloween movie to watch, as it takes you along with a group of friends as they film their experiences in some of the most frightening haunted houses in the country. The person to person horror is what kept us freaked out while watching. Definitely worth the watch if you want something super weird and scary. For that we are giving it a 9/10 and we watched it on Hulu. BRAVO!
Us is a fabulous scary movie, that is FAR different from all other scary movies you will watch. It is incredibly creepy and could definitely keep you awake at night. The acting in amazing, and the plot keeps you guessing. For all of its creativity, and fright factors, we award this movie a 9/10! We have this movie on DVD so that is how we watched, but you can also stream it on Hulu or Amazon Prime (and we definitely suggest you do!). It is rated R.
Okay this movie we were really excited to see. It thought the idea seemed very creepy, but unfortunately, it ended up lacking in execution of this very creepy concept. This movie was not bad, but just disappointing. On the scare scale, we give it a 6/10. A lot of people liked this, but we felt it left much to be desired.
This movie is a goodie. It is weird and definitely creepy as suggested in its title. We do recommend this movie to anyone looking for a weird watch this spooky season. It was very odd seeing Mark Duplass in a role like this but we liked it. You can watch this on Netflix and is great for halloween time. on the scare score we give it a 6.5/10.
Another movie that recieved a lot of hype, thus had us both anticipating a real scare. As we have seen with many recent scary movies, we were also let down when watching this one. The idea of the hand, and communicating with ghosts was a really fun idea, but we felt it just held back on the real scares. For that reason we give it 6/10.
