It’s a really well shot movie and the ending was such a surprise.

I have been meaning to watch Hereditary. I heard it was terrifying.

Post 2000, I’m saying:
Insidious
Conjuring 1&2
Paranormal Activity 1&3
Sinister
Cloverfield
Ju-on
The Ring
The Descent
It Follows

Some underrated gems:
V/H/S
Cam
Veronica
Autopsy of Jane Doe
Unfriended

There’s other horror movies that I loved (like Get Out and Us) but I didn’t find them scary so much as psychologically thrilling and interesting.

Event Horizon
28 Days Later (unfortunately almost unwatchable in > 480p)
The Descent
Aliens
Oculus
It Follows
Sinister (probably the single scariest movie ever for me)
Pandorum (guilty pleasure)
Prometheus (controversial I know)
The Thing (the original Kurt Russell one)
Martyrs (this one may make you faint at certain points)
I Saw The Devil (korean, but more of a thriller)
Jacob's Ladder (the original one with Tim Robbins)

Yeah I saw that one in the theater when it was first released and it really messed with my head.

The eyeballs!!

The most terrifying: Magic

I'm with the PP, and would add Rosemary's Baby to the old scoool list.

Creep
Creep 2
The Apostle
The Endless
Sinister
It Follows-this one still freaks me out, even though I’ve seen it multiple times.
Split

The cave
The descent

Drag Me to Hell. Fantastic ending.

A few of my favourite modern horror movies I didn’t see listed yet:
The Others
The Ring
Dawn of the Dead (remake)
Orphan
28 Days Later
The Conjuring 1 and 2

The Descent - I was out of the country when it was released and never got around to seeing it until last year. This movie is terrifying. While the premise is simple, the mood/atmosphere may as well be another character because it was so well crafted.
