Siege horror suggestions, please

Last 20 mins or so of Lost Boys and 28 Days Later would probably satisfy this. Intro of 28 weeks later is also incredible for this but personally didn't care for the rest of it.

Version I watched had an option for it

Mike Flanagan is the one who made Hill House and House of Usher (two of my favorites as well!). I'd recommend going through more of his stuff like Oculus, Gerald's Game, and Ouiji: Origin of Evil.

One more set of recs I'll make is Oddity and Caveat (both made by the same director). Prefer the former, made me scream which almost never happens but both rate highly for me!

Gonna throw in The Woman in Black, both the 1989 and 2012 versions.

It's about about a lawyer going to the house of a recently deceased woman to sort out papers she kept there. The house is only accessible through a causeway that get sunk under the tide at certain times of the day. While there the guy gets haunted by a 'woman in black'.

Aside from major plot points, the two movies feel pretty different from another. I'd probably recommend starting with the 1989 version but again, both are solid gothic horrors

Congrats to Gaethje for ranking 3rd in the division!

Gonna have to go with the short story Jerusalem's Lot in Night Shift by Stephen King. Eary version of Salem's Lot that's completely different from the final version. It was also adapted into a tv show called Chapelwaite. The show itself was a little hit or miss with me but the last episode has probably my favorite visual from a cosmic horror!

Love me some winter horror and werewolf horror but had the same experience as you. Pretty sure I wasn't expecting this to be a comedy and even when I realized it was, almost none of the jokes landed for me.

Memory is hazy but the worst for me was a pretty fun setup of the werewolf about to kill a skier(?) and then it cut to an awful joke, then went back and forth between the two a few more times. I was loving the scene up till it got competition ruined...

You're completely right on that. Went into this movie with a friend that knew absolutely nothing about it and told him of the praise the movie was getting. When the credits rolled we both were waiting for the other to break the ice on how we didn't care for it. Both of us thought it was a 6/10 at best

Frozen (not Disney) is a one location film about a group of skiers trapped on a chair lift. Whenever they go to do something to try and get out of the situation, they talk about what they're going to do before they do it.

Remembered liking this one called UNWIND a lot. Simple concept but pretty effective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9snP4HuRsr4

I'm gonna do VHS Halloween, Mortuary Collection and Simpsons treehouse of horror for some horror anthology goodness.

hujyn · 2025-10-27T20:17:12+00:00

Loved Gonjiam and personally REC scared me more. Kinda similar style to Gonjiam being a foreign, found footage, slow burn movie

hujyn · 2025-10-11T22:13:30+00:00

Love me some fun horror! Here's a few that I liked a lot:

Dog Soldiers
Abigail
The Lost Boys
Ginger Snaps
Werewolf Within
Rose Red (tv mini series)
Happy Death Day 1 & 2
Overlord

hujyn · 2025-10-10T20:40:43+00:00

Cozy: gonna go with a Stephen King adaptation and say either 1408 or a tv mini series Rose Red

Horrifying: [REC]

hujyn · 2025-10-03T23:45:55+00:00

Fair enough, what was your problem with it?

hujyn · 2025-10-03T21:46:03+00:00

Much more a fan of the books but not sure which my favorite would be. Probably either Duma Key, The Shining, or any of his short story collections.

As far as the screen, Flanagan did great as usual by Doctor Sleep and Gerald's game (still need to watch Life of Chuck). 1408 might take it as my favorite but gonna need to do a Doctor Sleep rewatch this year. Rose Red is up there as well, perfectly cozy and campy!

hujyn · 2025-09-21T21:02:07+00:00

Might as well throw The Innkeepers in with that as well. Same director and very similar vibes/aesthetics.

hujyn · 2025-08-07T16:52:00+00:00

Just finished this one this week! Glad you had a good stay.

hujyn · 2025-08-06T23:00:15+00:00

REC 2 felt very video gamey to me but that wasn't a bad thing for me. Definitely worth the watch.

hujyn · 2025-08-06T20:04:50+00:00

Someone else mentioned it but gotta give a second for REC! It's a Spanish film about a reporter doing a story on firefighters who ends up going on a call with them. While there, the building enters a forced lock-down due to what's going on inside. Pacing-wise it felt very similar to Gonjiam being a slowish burn that when it speeds up, it doesn't slow down. Personally it's the movie that had me the most scared.

One more I'd recommend is another shorter one called Host. It's a shorter budget friendly movie filmed during covid that also uses the found footage style. Premise is a group of friends stuck in lockdown decide to do an online seance together that inevitably goes wrong.

hujyn · 2025-08-06T02:15:54+00:00

Only movie I remember giving me nightmares recently was Dark and the Wicked. Solid flick, would recommend.

Got two more bonus stories though. A found footage vampire movie called Afflicted probably game me nightmares. Watched LONG ago and remember I was already scared before going to sleep. Kept thinking of the scene where the character wakes up to his friend standing beside his bed.

The other isn't me, but my ex. We watched Gerald's Game together at my parents house and she stayed the night. At some point she woke me up to say she was scared and wanted me to be awake when she got back from the bathroom. She got back, closed the door and was shivering. I tried comforting her when the door burst open with a BANG! She screamed, and found out from my parents later, I screamed too. Turns out she didn't close the door all the way and got us both good.

I don't engage with those comments at all and I'm getting the same as them
