Suggestions for different horror types?
I'm looking for some good horror movies that fit any of these categories. Suggestions for any or all types would be appreciated:
Time travel - (like The Butterfly Effect) Anything involving the ability to go back in time or something with a Dejavu effect (repeating a day or event continually) Body snatching - (like Wishmaster/Jason Goes to Hell) Where the main villain/monster can take any form it wants or possess/duplicate other characters. Scooby-Doo concept - (like Scream/My Soul to Take) With a mystery killer where the audience has to guess who it is. Elimination contests - (like House on Haunted Hill/Kill Theory) Anything where characters are put into a "Kill or be Killed" situation, having to fight against each other until one is left standing. Or in a situation where they have to survive a night at a location and get picked off one by one. Wishes - (like Wishmaster/The Outing) Genies, birthdays, gypsies, anything where bad wishes come true. Dream horror - (like Nightmare on Elm Street) |
If you don't mind older movies, I like "Time After Time" with Malcolm MacDowell and Mary Steenburgen.

The Tenant was a good from the past film. Saw series is a good guess who the killer is.

Body Snatching/duplicating:
Scooby Doo:

Time travel -
Timecrimes (2007) Elimination contests - Exam (2009) Hideo Nakata's The Incite Mill (2010) [Asian] (also falls into somewhat your Scooby-doo category) Panic Button (2011) Crappy but you can try the following films if you really 'love' this sort of Elimination contests-flicks: :D Death Tube (2010) [Asian] Would you rather (2012) Vile (2011) Nine Dead (2010) |
Time Travel=
WARLOCK small magical time travel thing, (I personally liked WARLOCK 2 better.) BODY SNATCHING = DREAMCATCHER SCOOBY DOO = CRY WOLF ELIMINATION CONTEST = 1.) HOUSE OF WAX (more of a survive the night thing, or get out of dodge.) 2.) SEE NO EVIL WISHES = THINNER DREAM HORROR = 1.) BRAINSCAN 2.) LAWNMOWERMAN ( not sure if Brainscan falls in this category it has kind of a hypnosis thing going on. I would recommend this out of all of these ones. cause I'm pretty sure you have seen the others and probably even this one.) |
Time Travel: I easily think of Donnie Darko and Army of Darkness but you probably know/have seen both.
Maybe you haven't heard of 12 Monkeys Body Snatching: obviously -Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing, The Faculty, They Live!, and They Came From Within (Shivers) Scooby Doo: *some of these are more crime/psychological thrillers but I feel like they can be horrifying as well. * My absolute favorite is Se7en! You've most likely seen it but if not there's always the suggestion :) others-Shutter Island, Stir of Echoes, The Others, From Hell, Secret Window, Zodiac, Deep Red, Copycat. On Elimination contests and Wishes others have already listed what I thought of. Dream Horror: Bad Dreams, Paperhouse, Close your Eyes, Stay, and Awake Hope you find some ones you like :D |
