Which is the best horror movie?

[FEARBOOMS]

The Sinister

The Silence Of The Lambs

IT

The Conjuring

Scream

[AI Opinion]

For pure horror impact, The Exorcist (1973) is still the gold standard 👹
If you want modern terrifying vibes, I’d pick:

Hereditary – slow-burn, deeply disturbing family horror.
The Conjuring – classic haunted-house scares with great tension.
The Ring (Japanese or US) – iconic, eerie atmosphere.

“Best” depends on what scares you most: psychological, supernatural, or gore.

“Silence of the Lambs” is thriller, not horror.
“The Conjuring” is the best of those listed for voting. However, i put the original “Annabelle” above “The Conjuring” for the best movie in that cinematic universe. Meanwhile, “Halloween” is my favorite horror franchise of all time.

Bah! Who wants to be scared when instead we can laugh?

Is IT even an option? It was more like a kids' horror movie. The only good one in your poll is The Silence of the Lambs, though I can't really call that horror.

From these IT, and to think it could've done even more without censorship it faced and if they realized beforehand that the spider replacing Tim Curry was a massive mistake.

Speak No Evil (2022, Dutch/Danish).

The Hidden Face (2011, Spanish)

Are my recent faves.

[MrChinaski]

Ringu (1998, Japanese) is my all time fav.

[Nikki1989]

The Silence of the Lambs, but I have never considered it horror.

I did not see any of these. I go with the Excorcist

[fishbone77]

Silence of the Lambs is more of a thriller. But absolutely the most superior film in your list. And it's not even close.

I have to go w Poltergeist or Pet Sematary from 1989.

[FunkyMonkee]

Hellraiser.
Trilogy Of Terror.
