Love that movie

Yup, it was something. The best horror movies are the ones that leave you feeling like someone punched you in the gut imo.

You should watch When Evil Lurks

That movie pulls no punches

Saw it on your recommendation I think. Best horror movie I've seen in years.

This one was disturbing and literally disorienting. It starts off slow but then it just goes completely off the rails.

 

[MudoSkills]

Talk to Me was probably one of the best films I saw last year. I also recently watched Society by Brian Yunza surprised not to have heard more people talk about it in threads like these (nice to see it on NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt 's list).

I'd suggest going in blind.

Yeah Society is fantastic. Love the ending for that movie especially

I "enjoyed" this movie... it is kind of disturbing like the other Gaspar Noe films, and the dance scenes are great. It is definitely an experience I recommend.

Yeah I "enjoyed" it too insomuch as a bad trip can be enjoyable

 

[JoduanER2]

Hereditary
The Witch
Midsommar

my favourite 3 of the modern era. Eggars and Aster are both genius

I love this 3 films, but be warned that they are very disturbing which is my cup of tea.

Climax is nightmarishly good once shit hits the fan. Love it or hate it, it'll be etched into your memory for a while.

You found those 3 films "disturbing" ?
Man, don't even try to watch When evil lurks then :


...or any other sick shit out there which have gore just for the sake of it (Evil dead remake/Raw/ etc)

Just to be clear, I'm no fan of excessive violence/gore and while the term "disturbing" can wildly vary from case to case and from individual to individual, those 3 movies mentioned are pretty mild all things considered, sure, thematically are pretty dark but, again, they're not over the top or anything IMO

Cheers

Ive watched all them, and i found evil lurks far less disturbing than those... the worst for me is a serbian film and salo maybe

How about Ichi The Killer?

 

[Phobos Base]

I wouldn't consider it a horror movie, but you won't forget that final scene in a long time.

I differentiate between horror and torture pron. I don't like or watch torture pron. Irreversible is about as torture pron-y as I'll watch and it at least had a good plot.

Fuck brother, why did you have to mention that shite ? hate shit like that, no real drive behind it, being provocative just for the sake of it - and the director's claims regarding its "allegorical" nature was just pure, hipster and unadulterated bullshit, just be honest and say that you wanted to create something provocative and violent instead of hiding behind BS excuses.

In case i didn't make myself clear enough, i completely agree with you

Cheers

Without spoiling myself I noticed it's quite polarizing

[Nukedisk]

I recently saw a tale of two sisters. Excellent Korean horror film. The sound design is terrific and it's really well shot. Not the scariest film but there's a constant creepy feel and some The Ring level scary scenes.

I have the same opinion of serbian film

Never cared for those types of movies either.
Also don't care for Rob Zombie movies (For different reasons obviously).
Cheap Tobe Hooper wannabe.

 

[VulcanRaven]

Universal monster movies from 1930s and 40s.

I find most movies that go hard on violence don't linger with you after they've finished. They might be disgusting, but they're hardly "scary".

Your imagination is scarier than anything a director can put on screen, and the movies that force you to use it are the ones I find most disturbing. Blair Witch Project falls into that category.

Tried to watch the whole thing but couldn't.
Started fast forwarding at 40 minutes then just gave up.

It feels like a high school student movie which got a D grade.

I'm all for something different but don't waste my time.

I dropped it twenty mins in. Such pretentious tripe

This one was very good but not the best

If I'm remembering there is only the one girl and her dad. She imagining the mom and her sister

Just watched this. I rented it on YouTube a couple of days ago, but was kind of passed out during some key scenes so I was VERY confused. Rewatched it last night and appreciated it much more. It's one of those films that can be very difficult to sit through (it's like... feel-terrible porn) but there's some really great performances and presentation. Between this and Enter the Void, I find that the director's films are very effective and provocative, even if a bit over-the-top.

^ This, 100%. Not because of the shock or disturbing factor but because it suuuuucks. The first 15-20min are interesting, but it dissolves into nonsense quick. Such a disappointing ending too.

Is this worth a watch? Eli Roth directing and remember seeing the fake trailer when I watched the “Grindhouse” double feature almost 20 years ago.

I hated it, but outside of Korean cinema, I don't care for most modern horror movies.

For free? Sure. Otherwise, not really.

It doesn't retain the Grindhouse-look at all which was the most appealing thing about it, so it ends up feeling like just another modern slasher.

 

[GymWolf]

Any advice for good horrors with big\mutated animals released in the past 3 years?

Stuff like black demon, meg etc.

 

[engstra]

Gonna need to go through and make a list of some movies mentioned I haven't seen yet!

One that I can't see having been mentioned yet is The Orphanage. My favorite Del Toro movie, the athmosphere is so good and genuinely scary.

As Above So Below is a pretty good found footage movie imo

Today is cold, dark & rainy.
A perfect time to rewatch

I'd love to hear your recommendations of good horror.

The Thing (1982) is always worth a yearly re-watch around Halloween.
I know it's not technically a horror movie, but Phantom Thread (2017) left me shook.
I still think Hellraiser (1987) holds up.
As a guy that has a sickness for the thickness, Under the Skin (2013) was scary because I could easily see myself being one of the victims.
The Void (2016) is solid cosmic horror. Not overtly scary, just a good time. Similar in tone to Planet Terror (2007).
Angel Heart (1987) and Jacob's Ladder (1990) are good.
Possessor (2020) has a lot of shock value. More so than When Evil Lurks.

There's definitely more, those are just off the top of my head.

Loved Possessor and Under the Skin, obviously The Thing too! Never heard of Phantom Thread. I'll look for it. The void was good too.

I really enjoyed it. Went straight home after watching it and threw on the original to see how it ties in.
