These scary movies that aren't too scary are perfect for newcomers to horror, from Midsommar to Cloverfield.
Read update It's no secret that horror movies are not for everyone. Many find horror movies to be too much to handle, especially if they scare easily. And that's okay! Everyone is different, after all.
Chucky is a living, foul-mouthed doll who happens to be an evil killer. While this is a terrifying premise, seeing a child's doll swearing its little head off is funny to watch, turning it into one of the least scary horror movies. The practical effects also make it very unconvincing in the 21st century, which helps with any potential nightmares.
This, of course, wasn't true, and all three actors are still alive and well. Thanks to the internet, the mystery associated with this iconic found footage movie has disappeared, making it far, far less frightening than it used to be. The titular witch is never seen in the movie, not even once, leading some to believe the witch was never real, to begin with. The terror comes from the supernatural events that happen while the cameras aren't on.
Another unconventional but brilliant choice is that the killer who traps the writer in her home is not some paranormal entity or malevolent slasher. He's just a man. Sure he wears a creepy mask, but he wears it for all of five minutes. For the rest of the movie, his face is completely exposed, which makes him much less threatening. The writer doesn't make many bad decisions, which is more than can be said for many cheesy horror flicks.
Moreover, the monster isn't seen until the end, so it can't disturb the audience based on its looks. Regardless, it's a solid movie and a brilliant modern monster film. 19 'Us' Director Jordan Peele's Us stars Lupita Nyong'o as Adelaide Wilson, a woman who takes her family to Santa Cruz, California, for a beach holiday, only to be greeted by a group of mystery doppelgängers.
With its biting satire, smart parody of foodie documentaries, and surprising laugh-out-loud moments, The Menu is the perfect choice for viewers interested in the way horror and comedy collide in films. It's also among the latest entries in the recent trend of "eat the rich" cinema, which often relies heavily on the horror and thriller genres. 15 'Alien' Alien is a genre-defining sci-fi horror film that needs no introduction.
