It's been awhile since Shudder has had a free code. Using this code gets you a free 60 day trial at Shudder. You need to provide credit card details but you can just put in a prepaid card to protect yourself. You can cancel straight away and keep the two months trial. To be on the safe side, I changed the subscription from the annual to a monthly when signing up, so if they did stuff up the cancellation, you would only get charged for a month.

Shudder is a horror-themed streaming service, and so lots of horror and thriller movies, TV shows and podcasts. The Australian service has less titles than the US version, but you can use a VPN to access the US version.

    I loved horror all my life and keep watching lots of movies but I am disappointed most of the time, maybe the hype on some movies somehow creates too many expectations. It's like everything has been done and it's impossible to create a new genre like for example The Blair Witch started the found footage, Spielberg started the threat from the sea with Jaws, Friedkin starting the demonic possession trend and so on.

          Damian Mc carthy is a recent Irish director. Caveat and Oddity.
          more recent ones. The Void, Mandy (artsy movie), Possessor, Hellraiser (2022), Antlers (only on disney 😐), The Substance, Alien Romulus.
          I actually can't remember Sinister (2012) I don't know why (that's not good right) but it is recommended. Bone Tomahawk is worthy mention even though mostly off genre. Antiviral (2012, Brandon Cronenberg).

          if you want anoldun butta goodun, Jacobs Ladder (1990), Videodrome, I think The Ring with Naomi watts (2002) had a tough time because everyone compared it to the foreign original, I thought it was good and scary when I watched it. The Thaw (2009, Val Kilmer) I remember as good.

          on my watchlist. In a Violent Nature (new, it's on Shudder - entire movie is following a third person the killer), Double Blind (on Primevideo), Swallowed (Primevideo). Society (Prime, old body horror).

          Aussie mention, You'll never find me.

          Foreign: Martyrs (2008, Pascal) mentioned in a comment below is also one of the greats, it satisfies a bigger group with jump scares, gore, and disturbing themes wrapped up in great story. The Audition (1999, Japan). if you want something primal original and out there, watch The Untamed (2016, Mexican, Spanish).

          also note: Martyrs and Bone Tomahawk get censored on some streams. and maybe some of the others I mentioned but these two are ones I can confirm myself.

          • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 13/04/2025 - 18:59

            @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: one more worthy mention. Suspiria (2018), again I think unfairly judged because the original was so "iconic" and I might get nailed to the wall for this but I watched the original after and I thought the remake was better. 🤗 idk just the build up (tbh original build up was pretty good too), the aesthetic and the ending was just more intense and powerful. I have deliberately not watched it for maybe 2 years now I might just watch it tonight.

          • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 16/04/2025 - 23:39

            @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: just a psa, I watched Swallowed and did not know (the title was a giveaway) that it is a very gay movie. nothing against gays but I'm not just talking about a gay character, or gay story line. the things that happen are pretty sexual and the gay theme continues through the whole movie. also no relation to being a gay movie but it wasn't a very good movie.

            maybe you do not want to watch it in front of your parents, or if you are just a young couple that would prefer not to watch something too gay.

            Spoilers:

            uhh so the horror aspect is they get forced to swallow drugs to smuggle then later on one of them gets punched by a red neck and the bag bursts in his gut. turns out there is some parasite worms inside instead of drugs, it bites him inside and he gets a fever as well as a huge boner (not joking 😂) he claims to feel numb and a couple shots of his massive boner. later on (a bit slow paced) the psycho guy they are delivering them too is also a gay guy, forced them to remove the other bags by hand, lots of scenes of this. psycho guy is very weird trying to seduce and at the end one of the guys becomes a gay porn star and is being interviewed. the movie overall was pretty meh.

            Barbarian

            duh! great recent one. don't know why I missed that oh well too late to add to my list now. 😭

            watched it for a second time months later was still great.
            also not exactly the same theme but looking forward to watching "Companion" which I thought was the same writer/director but I was wrong, it says "from the creators of Barbarian." not exactly sure what that means when the director/writer is a different person but anyway. still looking forward to it after seeing the trailer.

                oh thanks for clearing that up I was still confused. 🤯

                thanks and yeah I think I agree with you that a lot of what I watched and probably listed is crossover between horror>thriller>great story. I enjoy serial killer type movies too when they are done well they are amazing! for example this one is a recent favorite of mine I even posted it. A Walk Among the Tombstones. I would list more but my brain is still stuck on "horror filter" to make the previous list. 😅

                I have it to watch but it's on the neverending list!

                afaik it's only available for $29.99 rental on AppleTV at the moment. have been waiting until at least it gets down to the regular price of $6.99 to rent. so no rush, maybe by the time you get down the list it will be on a streaming service or something.

          • FezMonkey on 17/04/2025 - 13:58

            @theory: Any of you peeps seen Skinamarink?
            Not a conventional movie by any means, more experimental and dreamlike.

            It's very strange - it's so boring that I feel asleep during it, but it's also really unsettling?? I still find myself thinking about parts of it at night and getting creeped out.

            • n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm on 17/04/2025 - 20:24

              @FezMonkey:

              Any of you peeps seen Skinamarink?

              I haven't but thanks for the reminder, forgot about it I thought the trailer looked good. it's aussie production isn't it?? oh maybe not I was thinking of a similar movie. I was thinking of Babadook. I wanna watch both now.

              anyway worth mentioning apparently Talk to Me is another aussie one pretty highly rated apparently. same writer/directors are coming out with Bring Her Back in 2025.

            • theory on 19/04/2025 - 10:10

              @FezMonkey: I see what they were trying to do with Skinamarink but it wasn't for me, gave it one of the lowest ratings I've given a horror movie in years (4/10 on imdb, the overall score being 4.7/10).

      • khomeini on 13/04/2025 - 07:38
        +3

        I'll start (and probably get ripped for my tastes):
        - Autopsy of Jane Doe
        - The Witch (aka VVitch 2015)
        - Hell House LLC (and all sequels - I love found footage stuff)
        - A girl walks home alone at night
        - Thelma
        - The Ritual
        - Midsommar
        - Sinister
        - Rec
        - Byzantium
        …
        Edit - Adding ExistenZ and Thirteenth Floor to the list but they're more scifi-ish.

        Ofcourse very subjective but feel free to pan :)
        Nota bene: I love horror and have had Shudder for a while as well as other platforms so unsure where the above are from.

        • Donmega123 on 13/04/2025 - 08:11

          Sinister was very good and really a very original mish mash of genres. If anyone hasn't seen it go into it cold and you'll have a pretty scary night.

          • Midsommar

          what about Hereditary? I think a bit more horror genre than Midsommar was. personally I watched Midsommar because of the meme's but mostly brooding tension just wasn't enough. if you like trauma type horror maybe try "What josiah saw".

          • theory on 13/04/2025 - 19:11

            @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: Try the Director's Cut of Midsommar, not much difference but adds some extra clarity to some things.

            Hereditary is one of my top 3 all time. I believe it's a perfect movie. If you have a spare 4.5 hours check out this awesome video explaining everything -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlqyulT662g

              @theory:

              Try the Director's Cut of Midsommar, not much difference but adds some extra clarity to some things.

              thank you for the good advice. I knew about Ari's cut but I hadn't remembered to look for it, I guess like other cuts it might be a bit hard to find. Possessor also has a uncut version I think I have watched both just based on my memory of one scene.

              Hereditary was one of those movies that for me was quite a unique experience, and also knew it would take me more than one viewing to understand. I haven't watched the video you linked yet, but for example when that unforgivable thing happens it really draws the audience in to the character, like your psyche would just avoid confronting what happened at any cost and you would delay that sense of dread for as long as fricken possible. I think it is shown how he just walks like a zombie and goes straight to sleep, at least that's what I remember. I'm sure there are many layers I haven't seen yet. I found Toni Collette's character the most interesting.

              in this kind of way I think Midsommar is similar, but kind of polar opposite where everything is kind of sunny and with flowers except hints that it isn't. just a completely different approach I think I prefer the more relatable approach of Hereditary (average house, family etc). but I'm sure people can also find ways to relate to Midsommar (trauma, getaway, foreign country).

            @n3ck3ntry8bort0rgasm: IMHO I don't rate Hereditary… I thought it was mediocre at best. Again everything is subjective and that's OK :)
            I'm happy to watch whatever others suggest as well if I haven't seen it already.

              it's just that personally I would put Hereditary on the list instead of Midsommar because they are the same director.

                  also some of the movies are crossover's of genre, so maybe horror subgenre type movies (but pretty sure anyone expecting to watch a normal movie would still be horrified).

    • rawm on 12/04/2025 - 14:47

      Yep, horror can feel stuck on repeat. But there’s always space for subgenres. Ie. Horror where AI scripts your life or digital ghosts haunt old VR spaces. Cults based on influencers or eco-horror where nature fights back? New fears and anxieties = new horror.

      GOOD horror movies are few and far between.
      Its the cheapest genre of movie to produce, and they always turn a profit regardless of how bad they are. So studios pump them out like crazy, you have to sift through the junk to find the good ones.

      If one has a really memorable scare it's probably worth seeing. The witch in the window is just ok but has one scare in it that practically made me leave the room.
