Documentary horror is one of the genres that I like. Aside from its terror that feels real, a film in the documentary horror genre can make the audience feel as if they are also feeling the various fears experienced by the actors in it.
Of the many documentary horror films, in this post, I will summarize the 7
scariest documentary horror films of all time.
1. Incantation
Li Ronan must face an evil curse as a result of his behavior that violates the taboos and taboos of an ancient beliefs.
Many consider that Incantation is the scariest documentary horror film of the
year thanks to the dark story that is delivered coupled with the somber
nuances that always appear in front of the screen. As a result, the spooky
quality is above average, which cannot even be easily removed from the minds
of the audience.
For lovers of documentary horror, this movie Incantation is a must for you to
watch.
2. The Medium
The atmosphere of horror is gripping, creepy, and tense, all of which are presented perfectly in the film The Medium.
The Medium is one of the best Thai horror films of 2021 which has succeeded in
scaring many people, including me.
The perfect presentation of horror elements, coupled with the thickness of
Thai regional traditions that are shown, makes this film feel very scary in
this film.
For you fans of horror films, The Medium is a must for you to watch.
3. The Taking of Deborah Logan
Older people are prone to insomnia, whether it's due to illness or indeed because of age.
This makes them prone to strange behavior that they can never remember, like
what happened to a woman named Deborah Logan in the film.
However, is it true that Deborah Logan suffers from insomnia? What if it turns
out that he's been possessed by an evil spirit that makes him always behave
strangely?
These various mysteries are what make this film interesting for you to watch.
Don't miss the ending because that's where the most astonishing scene from
this film will be shown.
4. Blair Witch Project
There will be no jumpscare in this film, only the eerie atmosphere of the dark forest at night.
The fear of the dark, coupled with the strange events that often occur, makes
me always nervous when I watch Blair Witch Project.
The concept of a documentary horror film that tries to make its horror
elements feel real is presented perfectly in this film.
5. Sacred
A low budget is not always directly proportional to the quality of the films presented on the big screen. The proof is that Keramat has become one of the most successful documentary horror films from Indonesia, even though not much budget was spent during the production period for this film.
Telling the story of a group of young people who want to make a film in
Bantul, this Keramat film will make you see various Indonesian ghosts that you
have never seen in other films.
Thick cultural elements, coupled with an eerie atmosphere, everything blends
perfectly to make the audience always feel uncomfortable.
6. Noroi: The Curse
There have been many horror documentaries that I have seen so far, and Noroi The Curse is one of the best.
As a documentary horror film, Noroi manages to make the audience almost
believe that all the events on the screen are real.
The story plot which is full of mystery also managed to make me wonder about
how all the terror that happened in this film will end. As a result, this film
does not make you bored at all even though its duration is quite long, which
is 115 minutes.
7. Rec
There have been tons of movies about the Zombie pandemic out there, but none of them can match the horror of the zombie terror presented in the movie Rec.
By carrying out the concept of found footage, Rec managed to show how the
chaos that can arise when a zombie pandemic occurs.
The situation was chaotic in an instant, coupled with the ferocity of the
zombie attacks that blindly made the horror atmosphere of this film feels very
real.
