What was the last great Family horror film?
Poltergeist, the original?
I need some help finding family horror films for a plot I would like to work on as a hobby.

I didnt want to leave anyone out from this page, so I tag you all. And for some reason, I cant create a thread.
Definitely not family friendly horror movies. Just a horror film that involves a family, hopefully one that doesnt involve hauntings as i dont think people can relate enough to ghosts or demons to really be scared. I think the essence of a scary movie is to get people to question/be more cautious/weary with things in their normal lives based on the movie. Like some real unnerving shyt that people think could actually happen to them. I love horror films, but a new direction is order.
Well if
Poltergeist is the standard, then
@MartyMcFly already has you covered, as both
The Conjuring and
Insidious franchises are pretty much in the same vein as those movies.
I said this just a page or two back, and
@Danie84 just brought it up again, but I personally consider
Mama (2013) to be "the class" of the films in that vein. It's also a movie that can be recommended to you. It kind of combines that the formula of those Wan movies, but mixes in a little bit of the early-00's Asian horror influence. I think it's really well done, Chastain is really good as the lead.
There's also
Sinister (2012) and
Oculus (2013).
Sinister is well put-together but kind of run-of-the-mill. I thought
Oculus had an interesting gimmick and it used it pretty well.
Krampus (2015) - I initially overlooked this because of the Christmas elements, but it's actually a pretty creepy movie with some good atmospheric elements.
But you said you *don't* want Supernatural elements?
You're Next (2011) - Slasher film with some meta-humor. A lot of people were really high on it a few years ago.
We Are What We Are (2013) - On netflix right now. A family with a dark dirty secret.
