Cloverfield is another example. We see glimpses of the monster throughout, but never a good long look until the climax.
And 10 Cloverfield Lane?
That’s another example, but IMO it’s not nearly as impactful
The Void (2016)
Deadly Friend (1986)
Mama (2013)
The Woman (2011)
Lake Mungo (2008)
Smile (2022)
The Babadook (2014)
The Fly (1956 & 1986)
Malignant (2019)
A Quiet Place (2018)
The Woman wasn't an escaped cultist. She was, by all accounts, raised in the wild like that one true story.
And the monster is the Man
I think she was the last survivor of a cannibal tribe? I don't know, haven't seen it in a long time 😂
@@DontSmileAtMe2005 the way she behaved plus the perceived locations made me think that. It was modern day, seemingly in an American area. There was a story of a girl raised by wolves. I always felt her actions mirrored that. You most certainly have a valid point. The cultists just didn't make sense
@@DontSmileAtMe2005Yea, she is. The Woman is a sequel to Offspring, which was about the cannibal clan. There's also a third film, tho I don't know the name.
Yeah, that was odd. She's a feral human/cannibal, according to the novels. I think Ketchum based them on the Sawney Bean story.
The kid in the Babadook was the real horror.
That’s what I heard, I have seen clips and the kid makes me want to not watch it
At the start hes annoying but i feel sorry for him and dislike the mum by the second half (as is the point of the film)
All kids are horrifyingly annoying 😂
I read the script and it puts an entirely different spin on personal demons.
@@DontSmileAtMe2005 which is why I never had any, 😆
Honorable mentions should be:
The Car- A lot like Christine,but worse. A strange black car goes on a rampage in a town for reasons unknown. At the end,the sherrif and the townspeople blow up the car-and a monstrous face appears in the flames.
Paranormal Activity- Throughout all the fims in the franchise,the entity Toby is felt but never seen-until Ghost Dimension,where he is seen just before he finally gets a human form.
I love The Car. Creepy and well done.
Awesome list.... Although I'm not sure what you meant about H.P. Lovecraft.....* Holds up sarcasm card before using it as a bookmark for the Necronomicon*
Just so the random MAGAts don't understand what the issue is with lovecraft, he was an unapologetic racist and antisemite who promoted white supremacist rethoric every chance he got. He believed jews were inferior to the Aryan race and was highly sympathetic with rising fascism in Europe, once stating that he "liked" Hitler.
He also hated black people, describing them as being created by God in semi human form to only populate the space between man and beast. He was also sympathetic to white minorities in predominantly black southern states, excusing them for their numerous lynchings and intimidation tactics because the, "legal machinery" doesn't protect them sufficiently. Yeah, he was a piece of #$it.
These can be the best if they slowly add suspense and build to the reveal like Smile 2023 💪🏽
I loved the reveal at the end of Smile. Just the idea that this thing is going to wear you like a suit, and you can see the multiple layers of victims that it has put on before you just creeped me out perfectly.
@@ashrenee3693 agreed!
I *love* when a movie reveals a monster, especially at the end.
Those films where they build all that hype and tension only to end it with "we'll leave it to the audiances' imagination" are a major splap in the face.
Not everyone has a wild enough imagination to but a face to the monster... asuming it, physically, even has one.
Honestly in Malignant I feel like Gabriel is just being the protective brother (is he the older one I dont think the movie makes that clear) to Madison. He sees her being bullied by the inmates and is just like "Okay that's ENOUGH LADIES" and goes haywire.
He also caused his sister to have several miscarriages and tries taking over her body completely so he's not that good a brother.
@@anidiotthatexistsbutprobab5084 yeah fe.
@@anidiotthatexistsbutprobab5084For clarification, he doesn't cause the miscarriages just to torment her, he was somehow feeding on them to restore his own vitality, as to enable him to take control over her body for himself.
@@user-lb9xw4xf2q He still caused them was what I was getting at. And I doubt Gabe would be okay with using a pregnant body if he didn't cause them so he'd definitely cause one anyway.
Smile wasn't quite as scary as it could have been -- mostly because only one of the several people was actually able to pull off a creepy smile.
In your opinion, which one did?😯
@@Paradigm-Shift930 The female patient that killed herself and kicked the whole thing off. Everybody else just looked goofy and unintentionally hilarious.
The woman does not belong here. The family that kidnapped her right in the first few moments of the movie is the monster.
The Void is an excellent movie. If you all haven't seen it, you should check it out. Definitely worth your time. I watched it, and then I watched the making of it. The production budget was only like 90k. They made a mind-blowing movie with that tiny budget. Pretty incredible.
I watched Deadly Friend when I was 7, I never forgot that ending...
Barbarian belongs on this list. But dear God that movie was nightmare fuel. I'm still traumatized from it.
You see the monster in A Quiet Place at the very beginning when it takes the boy, though...
I’m so glad WCH has been showcasing “The Void” more. It’s a fantastic movie and deserves more attention.
I would have added The Ritual.
Definitely honourable mention here.
I will never understand people that did not see the malignant "twist" coming...
It was literally all over the opening scene and credits
#2 killed me with that intro 😂 such an amazing comparison
There could be a list about horror movies where you never see the monster in a semantic sense; in John Carpenter's The Thing, there are many scenes with monstrous manifestations, but we don't know if those are the Thing's real form, or even if it has one; then there's that Color From Outer Space movie with Nicolas Cage, where the Color has such an abstract existence, it can't be shown.
Lovecraft was such a genius. Sad he died in poverty.
Sadly, also a horrific racist.
@@geraldmartin7703- It was worth it for all he gave us😁.

Good list 👌🖤
The only thing I didn't like about A Quiet Place (other than letting the youngest kid bring up the rear, great parenting) was the confrontation in the basement. A creature that can hear you break a glass from a mile away can certainly hear your heartbeat when you're standing two feet in front of it.
Laughs in *Alien*
Malignant (2019) is one i need to see lol
"Sweet Home (1989)" is also a good one for this
Please start implementing chapters 🙏
That katasukashi is deadly. He got Hoshoryu with it this tournament as well
The Babadook blew all expectations (Roger Ebert spoke highly of it) out of the water. Mama was an unexpectedly great movie too, but still to date, nothing scares me like the Babadook did. I've always found psychological horror far more impactful than gore-fests.
In Mama, I think it’s the worst movie ending ever. The kid evaporates and turns into a cloud of butterflies…..
The woman was a creepy disturbing movie.
Definitely. It's got a kick ass soundtrack though, similar to Ravenous. I cue up the OST a lot and just relax to it. The only other creepy movie I can think of that comes close is Beyond the black rainbow. That one is very subtle, until it's not. It only has really two extreme moments of actual gore and violence, but damn are they shocking and weird.
I think the end of deadly fries was a dream to be honest
Wait…what about Monsters?
The Void is s good!
It really *is* . About due for a rewatch.
The Voldemort comparison had me rolling 😂
Hey, got one for you that could have been on this list!
No One Gets Out Alive (2021)
Mama was further proof (along with The Flash) that Andy Muschietti should never be allowed near movies that require extensive VFX. He's really not good at balancing that stuff.
Nothing wrong with the VFX in mama. Also, you think the director does the special effects to?😂
@@unropednope4644 No, but he signs off on it and every time, it has always looked janky. The figure in the third act of Mama looks hilariously bad, imo. Like the old lady that attacks Bev in the water in IT Part 2. Cartoonishly bad.
0:14 - 0:18 that's *always* the best thing for both of you, especially for the girl
Jim was the nice guy in The Office? Jim was a complete asshole. Seems like he spent his whole day just trying to figure out ways to piss off Dwight
Momma really worked! Lake Mungo also a great watch.
WhatCulture told the narrator he'd be paid based on the number of times he needlessly used "titular" in his script.
Dude cashed in big time.
Mama scared me and still does. will never ever watch it again.
I'd also say The Jackal in 13 ghosts
Whatculture makes a horror list without Lake Mungo. Challenge level: Impossible
The void I’ll argue bc we seen a monster from the void early on now the main big bad is an entirely different thing
That's not the point of the Babadook. She lost her husband and rather than learn to heal from that she feeds her grief because she thinks it's love.
you mentioned that see the monster before the final part of the movie kinda ruins the experience; Proceeds to show every monster on this video xD
You see monsters early on in The Void
The kid from the Babadook was the monster
08:12: I see what you did there.
A silent place monster reveal is spoiled so early its not scary and is nowhere near as scary as the xenomorph
That sure is a great list of films that either have no monsters in them or have the monster seen throughout.
Oh Lovecraft. Man was afraid of fucking everything.
The ritual should've been here too
Mama was ruined by the CGI reveal.
How when the short was the same and just as creepy?
Mama is the WRONG pick for this list. The titular monster is shown off throughout the entire movie. That was honestly one of the biggest criticisms the movie garnered.
Same movies, same lists, yawn yawn.
Goodmorning beautiful people ❤❤
HELLO EVERYONE AND GOD BLESS US ALL 👍🏿 😎 👍🏿
MAMA 🙂 MAMA 🙂 MAMA's _BIGGEST_ SECRET IS _SHE'S_ _A_ _GUY!!!_
JAVIER BOTET PLAYS MAMA, AND HE ALSO PLAYED THE GRUESOME LEPER
IN THE MOVIE "IT", CHAPTER I. A tall, very skinny man, he has such a long neck and quirky face, you can basically tell it's him in both movies.
the monster in mom was really crappy cgi monster and not that good
I liked the video not to brag or anything
Pretty arrogant bragging like that bro
"Drawing inspiration from horror icon (AND HELLA PROBLEMATIC MAN!), H.P Lovecraft..."
Jesus Christ, WhatCulture. We know. We can read about it if we want. I just wanted a list about monsters.
And given the tales about how WhatCulture has historically treated some of its staff and presenters (and who some of those presenters actually were...) maybe shut up and stop throwing virtue stones from big ole problematic glass houses of yer own, no?
Omg
Algorithm 👍🏾
Lake Mungo isn't really horror. It has one tiny scare at the end.
It is about "Ghosts" and has all that "lurking in the background" stuff going on, and that one scare is a doozey.
@quesoblanco444 I don't know. I enjoyed it, but thought Toy Story was scarier
I prefer we see the monster freddy michale and jason are scary alone
0:31 problematic man? u get a dislike for woke bullshit
I wish the term nightmare fuel would just die already I don’t think I’ve ever had a nightmare that is based on a scary thing I saw in a movie And I really don’t think other people do either I think it’s sort of like the phrase “it’s a vibe” or “this is such a vibe” Utter nonsense
I unsubscribed today.
Was it the knock at Lovecraft? It was a bit tiresome.
@@Keyser666 it's consistently one of those things that people wana bring up but no one actually cares
"George Washington was the first president of the Colonies that became the United States of America... but he was also problematic"
"Julius Cesear was once the emperor of Rome... but he was also problematic"
"Dr. Seus was a prolific children's book writer who was famous on 6 of the 7 continents... but he was also problematic"
No one cares are this point lol.
WC Horror, are you okay? I don't see "Sleepaway Camp" anywhere! Are you sure you want to brake your contract with that movie?!
I don’t understand why people like the babadook so much. It’s boring, poorly acted,not at all scary and that kid is the worst.
I think people loved it because it popularized the “elevated horror” sub genre,but I agree it was pretty boring
I never found it boring, and I though the scenes where the mom attacks her child where pretty horrifying. The weird pop-up book was an inventive and effective device. The "monster" design was very creepy. Great story, great acting, great conclusion.
(I don't know that any adult finds horror movies actually "scary". Real life is scarier than any horror flick)
The Abominable Dr. Phibes should have made the list.
