The l key is your friend on youtube
That along with watching at 1.5 speed

THen you just advance along to see the titles and if something catch your eye you can choose to hear a little about it.

You can probably cut viewing time to less than 3 min

Have you seen this trailer? Why does the ghost remind me of the entity on Lights Out?

Any summary so I dont have to look up 12 movies

I have to put Audition up there in my all time favorites
It is very slow so those with short attention spans might
get bored.

The Stepfather(1987) I watched 3 times before 1990. Pretty scary for a non horror movie.

I watched The Reef(2010) last night. It was solid but felt I had already seen it in the 2003 Open Water, just a few more people for the shark to prey on.

well of those, I've seen Ginger Snaps and The Stepfather. Both decent.

Ginger Snaps is a Canadian horrorish movie about werewolves and 2 teenage girl outcasts who are dealing with them. More of a "fun" movie than a serious grisly horror movie.

I haven't seen Psycho 2 which is a surprise now that I think about it. I used to watch tons of horror movies in the early 1980s on HBO/Showtime (late at night hanging with friends) and I know that would have been on around then. Not sure how I missed it...but that may be the one I want to check out next on the list.

Trouble is, I haven't seen that many. Suggestions to watch, please

Good:

The Ritual

Not bad/decent:
The Tragedy Girls
Leatherface
Life
Gerald's Game
Jigsaw

Eh...
Cult of Chucky
It
Annabelle Creation

Crap:
Amityville Awakening
Alien Covenant

Really Crap:
Mother!

Two really good ones from 2016 are Better Watch Out & The Girl With All the Gifts which is highly recced if you haven't seen yet.

All are good or watchable although I personally could kinda take or leave Pontypool but you could do a lot worse overall.

I've a list here for other decent Horrors so you might find something you dig.

The Endless happens in the same movie universe as 2012 film Resolution. You might want to check that one out first if you haven't seen it yet.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting & not as good as I hoped. I'm a very big fan of the novel & always felt the best way to adapt it would be via a HBO style hard R mini series, so I'm admittedly hard to please regarding this particular King work. I do get why others like it& I didn't outright dislike it to clarify, but overall I felt it was just okay.
Have you seen Resolution (2012)? The Endless is done by the same makers & if you've seen & liked Resolution you should definitely dig this. (Resolution is on YT btw in English w Spanish subs & trailer here)

The Endless trailer

ETA: Lol sorry just read Imjosh's post now, my bad

It Follows is probably my top horror movie of the past decade also.

It Follows is awesome. Under The Skin was almost unwatchable.

Resolution - B movie acting but didn't feel I wasted my time, I enjoyed it.

The Endless - I liked it better than Resolution.

It Follows was a solid watch, but I didn't like it nearly as much as most ITT.

Me neither actually although I did find it decent, just wasn't as impressed with it as others were.

HELL FEST - thought it was a decent slasher/stalker flick. the thing that grabbed me the most was the amusement park they were in...it was pretty awesome and was as much of a character as the other actors in the movie.
