horror movies that are actually scary

[00:00] So after the recent release of the None 2 movie, I was really thinking about movies that actually scare you instead of giving you these cheap, jolt jump scares. And I'm not talking about being

[00:12] scared by having a little jump in your seat at the movie theater. You're shaking in your boots a bit. No, I'm talking about late at night when you start a dark corner of your room and you see that old lady standing there from the movie you just watched three hours ago. I'm talking about movies that give

[00:26] you PTSD. To me, there's a fine line between being jump scared and being actually scared. So I'm gonna go over three movies that scared me, ranking from I would say probably least scared,

[00:38] maybe one or two scenes that scared me that I still think about today, to an actual full blown movie that I think about basically every single day because of how traumatized I was from it. So the first movie we're gonna be talking about is Juwan. So Juwan is actually the original Japanese

[01:00] version of the movie Grudge, which you guys have probably seen before. And there is a particular scene in this movie that I think about every single time I lay down in bed. I'm gonna play the scene here for you guys. If you don't want to be scared, trust me. Don't watch this.

[01:41] So they actually remade the scene in an English version of Juwan called Grudge. And it is nowhere near

[01:55] the level of scariness as Juwan was. So Juwan actually builds tension much better in their scene

[02:15] because the music is a little bit more low-key. There's a little bit of more ambience in the noises. And then the US version just screams in your face like a 2014 jump scare sent in your spam email from your grandma because you thought it would be funny. Thanks, grandma. Thanks. The US version

[02:30] is just completely over the top and to me it's not scary at all. Luckily for me when I was a kid, I saw the actual Japanese version of the movie. Actually, I guess you could say it's not luck, but I'm happy that I saw this scene over the US scene because now I'm traumatized. Every time I look

[02:46] under my blanket bro, she's there. She's there and she's waiting for me. So the next movie we're going to be talking about is Sinister. Sinister is a horror movie that came

[02:59] out in 2012. It also has a sequel, but we don't talk about the sequel. So I would say this movie up until about the last 30 minutes was absolutely horrifying. Ethan Hawks' character is basically an author.

[03:14] He writes books about true crime and he secretly moves into a house with his family without telling them that this is the place where people were murdered. Inside of this old house he finds footage

[03:26] up in the attic which contains videos of some do just murdering families and everything outside of these tapes where his son sleepwalks and jumps out of a box in the kitchen is a little goofy.

[03:44] But the thing that was genuinely terrifying were these tapes. These tapes, the sound designed the music the way they were shot. It was absolutely terrifying. I'm going to play you

[03:59] just a part of one of these and imagine eight more of these. You got to watch like I think it was like four or five, but you got to watch like five of these and they're all so grotesque. There's

[04:25] one tape in particular that's really stuck with me. It's a family in the middle of the night just sleeping and this guy films himself walking into the house and quietly tickling everybody's

[04:37] necks with a sharp carrot until they're all dead and it was absolutely traumatizing. Because of this movie whatever Ethan Hawks is in especially if it's a horror movie I'm going to go see it.

[04:49] Just a little side tangent the black phone was an awesome movie and I've seen it twice it's probably one of my favorite horror movies and I wouldn't have seen it if I didn't see sinister and Ethan Hawks

[05:01] was in it. Those are the two things that brought me to go see it but sinister is definitely a super uneasy movie and if you want to feel uneasy but you don't want to feel completely there's a jumpscare in there dude. There's a jumpscare in that movie that literally made me jump out of my seat like

[05:15] Tom and Jerry when they're trying to run and they can't run because they're floating in midair that was me. I know jump scares are cheap but the build up to that jumpscare was absolutely divine but seriously if you want to feel uneasy for an hour and 50 minutes go watch this movie it's super entertaining

[05:30] just don't watch this sequel don't don't do that to yourself and now to the final movie that genuinely I think is the most horrifying movie of all time

[05:45] redditary. I know I was talking about scenes that I think about all the time before but there's one scene in her redditary that I think about at least three times a day. When Tony Collette's character starts to walk out of her little art room and she turns off the lights and she thinks she sees something

[06:02] in the corner and there's just this still quiet frame of her dead mom standing in a dark room for a solid like 10 seconds. I was the most scared I have ever been in my whole entire life

[06:49] scene came on I knew this movie was something else. When a movie doesn't do anything with their scares and they just let it linger there on the screen the director knows exactly what he's doing when he's trying to make people uneasy and I love feeling uneasy during these movies. I don't want

[07:04] to say anything else about this movie I know it sounds like I'm being lazy but I really need people who haven't seen it so please go watch this it's on HBO Max please go watch this. I went into this movie

[07:16] not knowing anything about it besides it had really good reviews and that's all I needed and people were saying it was scary and that's also what I needed so I went and watched it without looking anything up and that's how you should do it. Only is this movie a horror movie but it's a really really

[07:30] good family drama. Tony Collette's acting is absolutely amazing in this movie and Alex Wolf from the naked brothers band is in this movie and he's also great. Everyone in this movie is really good

[07:42] the acting is top tier it doesn't even feel like anybody is acting which is you know the goal but sometimes it's harder than it is trust me. I've seen this movie I think four times now in every single time I watch it. I get the same feelings as the first time I watched it. I notice something new

[07:58] every single time I put pieces together every single time and this movie will always be in my mind for the rest of my life. Anyway that's it for this video just a short little one for you guys. Leave in the comments what movies actually genuinely scared you as well and I'll see you in the

[08:14] next one. Peace out.
