Let's recommend some horror movies that other people might not know about. Horror is a very broad genre spanning from slasher to supernatural to psychological to dread to comedy.

I will start with a couple lesser known, but not obscure, movies from different sub-genres.

It Follows is pretty well known and it is truly chilling, same with the Babadook, so I'll list some other ones that I remember off the top of my head.

Pontypool (2008) - horror-mystery-thriller

It stretches a small budget far. Don't expect to see anyone getting a machete in the head. It takes place in a radio studio where a radio host working nights and taking calls starts to get weird phone calls. That's not much of a description but it is a good movie(not a stellar movie) where knowing nothing about it is good, the driving force of the movie is actually lack of information and uncertainty.


Kill List (2011) - psychological horror

Small budget yet again. It is a bit like The Seventh Gate. It is about a couple of former military guys, special forces I think, that gets offered a lot of money to off three people, that's the kill list. They have killed people before but those were enemies, these are civilians and countrymen... Yeah but this guy is a pedophile, would you actually feel bad if he went away? You're doing everyone a service and you will get paid.
Then it is almost like pizzagate starts unfolding.


Triangle (2009) - reality bending horror

A group of people find a cruise ship drifting around on the ocean, their own boat has sunk so they take refuge on that. Is it in the Bermuda triangle? I don't remember.
It is a pretty decent movie where the core is trying to figure out what is going on. It is also not a very violent movie.


I Sell the Dead (2008) - horror-comedy, I really like this one for some reason.

In a cell on the day of his execution a career grave robber is having his wicked life recorded by a monk. It takes place in the 1800's and have some big names in the leads like Ron Perlman, Dominic Monaghan and Larry Fessenden.
Monaghan plays a character that has been involved in the corpse stealing racket since he was a kid, he grew up with it, and being a career grave robber he's seen some weird shit.
It is funny and clever, it has some of the old Peter Jackson charm where it can be pretty gnarly but it is still very much a comedy. Way less gore than Jackson.


The Hills Run Red (2009) - you want nudity and blood and slashing and then more boobs + snuff movies?

Not a great movie but the premise made me interested: Film students travel to an area where some old and classic gory movies were filmed by a cult director, think maybe Cannibal Holocaust mixed with Friday the 13th and Jesus Franco as a director. Turns out the movies, that were sold to and watched by the public, were actually snuff movies for real. It wasn't clever practical effects, as the main characters find out.
It sounds trite and it actually is but there is a great moment later on in the movie that makes me remember this one. Just a line of dialogue that to me changes A LOT of what was going on.


Feast 1-3 (2005, 2008, 2009) - genre: it differs, but there's always some comedy.

Feast is a series where every movie is a different genre even though Feast 2 starts where Feast 1 ends and the same thing happens when going from Feast 2 to 3. They're not brilliant movies but it is a fun thing to do, I really like it.
The first one is the one that is the most serious, weird critters forces some people to barricade themselves in a bar. The movie is exactly what you think it is.
Feast 2, this is where the topless dyke biker gang come into the - wait what?
Feast 3 - the most Zen ending ever. It will have no meaning if you haven't seen the previous movies, saying what it is is meaningless, just watching it on youtube is meaningless. You need to watch three not that great movies to be able to [not] understand the ending.


Bitter Feast (2010) - Black comedy horror, unrelated to the one above.

A high-level chef kidnaps a food critic that is always belittling him then forces him to cook food that lives up to the standards the critic require of the chef.
Example: The chef reads out loud a column where the critic shat on him by writing "it is not hard to cook a perfect medium rare steak. Two minutes on one side, then flip it and let it cook for another 2 minutes, done. Anyone can do this." Now the critic has to show how easy it is, if he fails he loses a finger... Every time he can't live up to the standards he sets for other he loses a part of his body.

CAM (More anxiety inducing. Not exactly straight up horror)

A Field in England (Same guy who made Kill List)

Bone Tomahawk (Old West cannibals y’all!)

It Comes at Night (Anything by A24 really)

Hereditary (my absolute favorite)

Trollhunter

The Host (2006 Korean movie. None of that Twilight shit)

Goodnight Mommy

We Are What We Are

The Ritual (Greatest monster design of all time. I’m serious.)

The Sentinel (underrated 70s religious horror)

Inland Empire (not technically a horror movie but Christ Almighty it's creepy)

Lost Highway (same reasoning for Inland Empire)

The Exorcist III (far superior to the original I feel. Brad Dourif is amazing in this)

Session 9 (creepy abandoned hospital setting)

Inferno (Argento's sequel to Suspiria. Has a very fever dream kind of feel to it)
 
"kill list" is brilliant, "a field in england" from the same director isn't strictly horror, but it's a surreal and unsettling take on a vignette from the English Civil War, so smoke a fat bowl and enjoy. It also has the always great Michael Smiley from "kill list" as the supernatural villain. Another good horror flick is "Darling", a nice b&w indie horror number that's a satisfying 'evil house vs woman' story
 
Do yourself a favor and watch The Haunting of Julia, it can be streamed on Amazon.

The movie is utterly chilling, you will be amazed at how creepy it is, the ending has to be seen to be believed.
 
"How to make a monster" - B-movie, not scary, but rather hillarious (for all the wrong reasons, too).
 
John Carpenter's The Fog: Good seaside ghost story. Stay away from the remake.
Dead Snow Red Vs Dead: Wonderful Nazi Zombie horror comedy that has Nazi Zombies Vs Russian Zombies.
Frankenstein's Army: Combines Frankenstein's monster and Nazis.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari: Very good German expressionism if you're interested is seeing something a little older.
Cronenberg's Videodrome: The less I say the better, just enjoy the ride.
 
Stephen King's The Mist is pretty solid even if most people have already seen it, ditto for the Friday the 13th remake.

The Pact is beeter than the trailer makes it look:
