Irving, check out Phantasm, main characters in movie are about your daughters age.

Phantasm is great. I have it at #14 on my all time list. I dig the whole series for the most part.

@Irving: Blackcoat's Daughter is a really slow burn. I like the slow atmospheric ones though. Not for everyone... Train to Busan is a Korean infected film. Really good though.

My list of my top all-time films is here:

I like "scary" movies that transcend the genre, like Guillermo Del Torro's The Orphanage and the Haunting of Hill House Netflix reboot.

Agreed, both of those are great. I'd say I do too since I love "heady" horror that makes you think, and does something new. I'm not a big fan of gore just for gore's sake.

I agree. I don't understand the attraction for the "Saw" franchise.

I would classify Aliens as Sci-Fi and The Silence of the Lambs as a crime drama.

Yeah I don’t like the Saw franchise. Some cool kills but bad story and gimmicks instead of good stories.

Aliens is for sure a sci-fi/horror, but Silence of the Lambs is horror in my book. It has all the elements and formula and of a horror film.

When it comes to being scared I prefer my movies a little cheesey.

Two of my favorites from back in the day are Motel Hell (1980) and The Funhouse (1981).

The Evil Dead series was always entertaining because of the cheese factor as well.

For the more modern stuff I really like the characters of Rob Zombie?s films but the stories are a bit lacking.

I recently watched Doctor Sleep which is a sequel to The Shinning. It wasn?t a bad film but movies about the supernatural aren?t really scarey in my opinion. The characters were pretty well done I thought.

I find Silence of the Lambs to be more 'suspense' than horror, but maybe that's me.

Event Horizon is definitely horror.

Event Horizon is definitely horror.

Love that one! Picked up a Blu Ray of it a few months ago finally

Event Horizon is definitely horror.

Agreed. The Sci-Fi aspect is just the platform/mechanism.
