Another vote for this. I didn't see the first one, but this is a decent horror movie.
How about The Babysitter. It's new and it's on netflix.
Mister Babadook
Housebound
Drag me to hell
Cabin in the woods
I have a lot of movies in mind but there are not what we could call "good scary movies" I guess.
I'm a big fan of this kind of films but all my BF were tired watching those with me.

High Tension. It's on Hulu. My wife couldn't watch scary movies for a year after we saw it in theaters.

It's a super silly film.
So, I'm gonna go with The Decent, and if that's too much for her, I'll flip a coin for Tucker and Dale Vs Evil or Creepshow.
I'll update later today, thanks people!

Nope, she's not a fan of subtitles. She's loves Will Ferrell but wont watch Casa de Mi Padre because of the subtitles.
What have you guys seen so far.. what's your preferred style of horror.. psychological, jump-scares?.. Let me know, I'll give u some suggestions

She really enjoyed The Thing, we watched it last year. She was rooting for the dog at the beginning the entire time until...well...yea lol. She had no idea what was gonna happen.
She also really enjoyed DotD remake when we watched it.

She loved Psycho after we finished Bates Motel, she also really enjoyed Rear Window. She caught all the moments the Simpsons spoof'd, same thing when we watched Psycho and Cape Fear. Especially with Cape Fear, she caught on to the movie's theme song being SideShow Bob's theme before I realized they were one and the same.
So, she decided we are watching The Birds.
"We don't know what we're watching after The Birds. Will be sure to keep you all posted and let you know how the movie went. Cheep Cheep, Save Save...Brought to you by FreshCo." ----Her words.
Thanks again, people!
I'm just going to post some of my favorites. I'll leave it up to you to check if it could be something your gf likes OP. I did this recently at the other place but of course that thread got deleted. i'm leaving out some obvious classics like The Exorcist, The Omen, etc

Trick r Treat was terrific, and would be perfect for the OP. More fun than scary.
Does she like found footage horror? That's my favorite sub genre and there is a bunch on Netflix of it. I loved, Creep, And v/h/s on Netflix. I also loved the last exorcism On Hulu, but it might be gone now. If you like a little comedy in your horror then try out Bad Ben on amazon video free with prime. Horror movies that I love that are not on those services are Sinister, and The Exorcist. I haven't watched The Shining yet, but I know it's really good, so that's an option aswell. You're lucky she likes The Babadook, my fiancé thought it wasn't good. I was like da'faq girl?
As some have said, The House of The Devil (2009) and The Witch are both solid recommendations, depending on how you are feeling.
My personal recommendation is The Wailing. It's a foreign film from South Korea, so you have to be cool with subs. One of the best horror films from recent years, just a rollercoaster the whole time. Surprisingly funny too!
You can trust me OP. Just look at my avatar.

I heard Noroi was a pretty scary movie, if you can get past subtitles.
I've never seen it though.

Add another SK horror movie to the list with, The Wailing (2016)
Great movie.

Reporting in, ERA.
So we watched The Birds, tried to watch The Descent but that didn't end up happening, so we finished off with 1922. I put on Tucker and Dale vs Evil, and although she snickered at the silliness of the corner store scene at the beginning, she fell asleep.
We were both really into the birds, but I found the actor playing Lydia super distracting, because she reminded me of the actor who played Lydia in Breaking Bad. Like, physically, their facial structure, I couldn't not help but see the two actors being related. It didn't take long for me to establish some head canon that both characters were related and The Birds took place in the BB universe xD.
Anyhow, yea loved it. We were both really surprised at how graphic the movie was and I wasn't expecting that level of violence for a movie made at that time. Great buildup, really liked how it focused on the characters, but every now and then there would be a reminder that shit was about to go down.
1922 was great and I hate that Thomas Jane doesn't do more work. Last movie I remember seeing him in was with Laurence Fishburne....Laurence was some type of assassin, Thomas lived in a house, and he was protecting the girl from South Paw.
Always, Jane chewed up the scenery in the movie, I didn't think he could completely transform into a character like that, but maybe that's just because of my limited exposure to his work. Everything about it was top notch. I haven't read the book but I enjoyed the movie. Some nice moments that made us both go "wtf!"
Again, thanks everyone for the lists and suggestions. Tomorrow we'll try Tucker and Dale again, and work our way up to nice and scary.
