Hidden Gem horror movies

[PorkPieGuy]

I love good horror movies, like ones that make you think a little or have such a big twist at the end. I just like good stories and good acting in movies that are sort of off the beaten path (usually Blumhouse and A24 movies):

Creep - This one is such a sleeper! I've known people just like Mark Duplass's character.

Midsommar - I always like cult-based movies for some reason. This one is fun.

Train to Busan - I'm not a fan of zombie movies, but this one was great. It's very unforgiving.

Hereditary - I need to watch this one again at some point.

How about you? What are some of your favorites?

Midsommar and Hereditary were creepy. Midsommar was in my head for days after watching. Freaky!

Man, I watched The Ring when it first came out, and it had me messed up for days. It's like it got worse for me a day or two later. PG-13 my butt! 🤣 I've watched bits and pieces of it since then, and it's no big deal now.

It's an oldie but a goodie - John Carpenter's The Thing. Super suspenseful.

Good bit of grimy UK horror
Not quite a horror film but pretty nasty

Posting to follow.

Horror is my favorite genre. My external hard-drive consists of 2tb or b-rated horror.

I am a huge fan of the evil dead series, maniac cop, re-animator.

most recently, Mandy, was a really fun watch.

Killer Clowns was amusing and the The Brain That Wouldn’t Die was also quite amusing.

Re-Animator was a hoot too.

Love horror...
.... but as I've matured in movie watching, I am much more discerning on Good vs. Bad vs. meh.
Here are some I definitely recommend...

Cube: One of my fav horror thinkers.

Hush: Interesting take on home invasion

It Follows: just creepy

The Ritual: slow burn creepiness

Cargo: a very different ‘zombie’ flick

His House: Fresh version of a haunted house

Fear Street Trilogy

The Platform: Not only bizarre in concept, but disturbing.

The Descent: awesome chills through to the end

With friends...
... seriously, I watched it by myself and just thought WTF.
