One of my favorite movies of all time just because of the psychological horror aspect
Going to second Martyrs. That was F-ed up
It’s also entertaining and fun. Highly recommend
El Topo
Thought it was a spaghetti western. Damn was I wrong.
Jacob’s Ladder
What a ride.
No movie ever made me suffer as much as Climax by Gaspar Noé. I highly recommend it if you want to have a horrible time.

Can’t go wrong with Riley Sterns. Faults and The Art of Self Defense are great wtf dark comedies.
Grave of the Fireflies
Deadgirl
Also I forgot the title… Vagina Dentata? Not good, more like silly.
Teeth sounds like the vagina dentata one - totally agree it’s not good but very silly!
That’s the one.
Teeth is the one you’re after.
I think the best one had to be that remake of a Kurosawa horror film called The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar. That was the only horror movie to ever actually give me a true scare.
The Grudge is definitely not a Kurosawa film lol
Ach! You’re correct. My memory failed me. I thought The Grudge was a remake of Ju-On and I forgot who directed Ju-On. I see that it is now a Netflix series. Might have to check it out. Ju-On
“A Serbian Film”
Young and dumb I watched a movie suggested by 4chan, I still have flashbacks over 10 years later of 1 scene from the movie.
100%, it’s not even a good story to go along with all that trauma.
Primer
That movie messed with my head. And Upstream Color…insane.
Amazing.
Kids
Very good, but very fucked up. Hit close to home in the lifestyle I lived as a teenager, just luck that things didn’t end up like they did in the movie.
I downloaded this one to watch on a long plane ride recently and I guess I forgot what all was involved with it. It did not play for more than the intro credits before I was fumbling to close the app.
Hardcore Henry.
It’s an easy answer. It’s a very pulpy, violent, action film shot entirely in a real time first person vantage. A guy gets experimented on, escapes from the mad scientist, then goes on a 90 min video game quest to save his kidnapped wife. It’s all explosions and train fights. It’s the kind of thing you worry that people will respect you less for having enjoyed, but it’s honestly an outstanding use of cinema and very fun.
Lovely movie. It’s done so well, I’m surprised nobody else attempted it.
If you like cheesy b horror and practical effect demo there is one called Hotel Inferno that is first person continual shot similar to Hardcore Henry but it can be a bit rough at times. The English dubbing isn’t great for example. At times the practical effects almost feels like the finisher kills from Doom 2016.
I think I’ve seen some bits, it looked pretty trash… But I don’t really have the appreciation for B horror.
That’s fair. I watched the whole trilogy and honestly it just becomes a slog. They took a novel idea and tried to franchise it and I think that wasn’t the best idea. Hardcore Henry is still very much superior.
Can’t wait to watch this, thanks for the info 🙏
