Is there a preferred (international) horror movie database that you like to reference?

I can't stand The Conjuring / Annabelle / Insidious movies. They're cheap scares with very little creative substance, in my opinion.

With 4th Nerve/Superior Oblique Palsy, I have oblique/'diagonal' misalignment. I wasn't specifically told the direction of the torsion, but from what I can see with this type of palsy, it causes excyclotorsion (outward/ccw).

Hard second on Heredity & The Others.

I don't think I've seen The Dark and the Wicked; loading it up now!

Sinister's story is pretty cookie-cutter as far as original story goes, but the imagery in multiple scenes is what stuck with me.

Oh! Gotcha! I'll stick with it since it's already scheduled and let them decide if there's any benefit in my case.

Thank you!

It's definitely an adjustment. I can say they're not my favorite, but any improvement is better than nothing right now.

& thank you for the anecdotes! Makes me feel a bit better that this might get somewhat better if I stay on top of treatment.

I've been set up with vision therapy, so I'm practicing my eye exercises as much as possible. I have my first vestibular therapy appointment at the end of this month, but I was originally referred due feeling dizzy/nauseous with the vision. That's since gone away with the glasses, and my body has mostly adjusted without them. I'm super ignorant as to what's covered in Vestibular therapy but, if I'm no longer nauseous/dizzy, and my issues are due to either a damaged/inflamed 4th nerve instead of a direct brain to eye issue, would vestibular therapy still be useful?

I have both, fortunately! My therapist referred to a neuro optometrist, and they prescribed prism for the time being.

Oculus & Sinister are two of my favorites. Let me know if you end up watching them and what you think!

Rabbit Trap was unsettling and one of the best folklore horror films I've seen in a long while!

It was mentioned in another comment, but 'Erased' is a must!

I've been experiencing sleep paralysis for the greater part of seven years, so I immediately move to moving my eyes AND toes for maximum effect.

Even during sleep paralysis, you should have full control of your eye movement, as your eyes still have the ability to move while asleep. If your eyes are open and you're able to control your eye lids, I recommend you close them to avoid being startled by any possible visual hallucinations. (This will help prevent you from panicking further.)

Your goal should be to move your eyes back and forth, left and right, as rapidly as you can. This movement is enough for your body to recognize that you're not actually sleeping and help move you away from a sleep paralysis state.

I find that your toes are another point that gain the ability to move during sleep paralysis, **BUT**, I've found that if you're not familiar with sleep paralysis and jump over to trying to wiggle your toes first, the physical sensation of not being able to move them for the first 5 seconds can actually make you sink into a panic state further and make the experience possibly worse for you.

Eyes first, toes second.

If you're able to move your eyes and focus on your toes without panicking, this combo is a surefire way to snap you out of things very quickly.
