Not necessarily the ones you now consider the best, the most artistic, the most extreme, or the most objectively effective.

I’m looking for the movies that actually got under your skin when you first saw them — considering your age, mindset, life situation, expectations, and viewing circumstances at that time.

They don’t have to hold up the same way now. You might even look back and think, “I don’t know why that affected me so much.” But back then, they really stayed with you.

Which films were they, and why did they work on you so strongly at that moment?

Mine:
- The Ring (2002)
- Dreamcatcher
- The Grudge (2005)
- The Descent
- Silent Hill
- The Hills Have Eyes
- It Follows
- It (2017)
- Midsommar
- Smile
- The Sadness
