The hardcore disturbing...I mean no holds barred and borderline pornographic. If you are conservative...I mean easily got offended or not open minded enough...so don't bother with these two. These are not your straight ghost story type of horror but will test your limit.
Martyrs - Either you gonna hate it to the bone or you will love it dearly. Watch only the OG French version and not the US remake.
A Serbian Film - Millenials equivalent of Cannibal Holocaust. It's the most disgusting torture porn ever made that need to be seen to believe. You watch it for the sake to have bragging rights. Make sure your parent or significant other are not aware you've watched it because it's that morally bankrupt. You wish you can drink Dettol to wash away the aftertaste.

The award winning type...if you can endure The Shining then you should be OK with these.
Let the right one in - Twilight my ass...this is how you do a proper vampire romance.
The Others - That ending....
The Orphange - Del Toro "godfather" this great Spanish export.
Goodnight Mommy - A psychological horror from Sweden.
Audition - You will bore yourself out for the 90% of the time....when that bloody ending happens. It's pure evil genius.
The Wailing - Just watch it without even bother to know what it is. It's that good.

The commercial types...
Rec - The first 2 movies quite good...again watch only the OG Spanish version.
The Descent - A Pre-GOT Cersei in it...quite good.
The Babadook
It Follows

I think I've seen Kill List, Dog Soldiers and Severance before. Not really a true horror geek...just go with where the fresh and good storyline can be found and also recommendations i picked up from movie critcs or podcaster i followed.

The sad thing about A Serbian Film is it had an OK story to follow and not your B-grade production value with bad actors in it, just that the controversy is too malign to comprehend. Then again also a reflection of the genocide that Serbian experienced. Evil knows no bounds I guess.

The Wailing is the single best horror movie in recent memory for me.
No harm trying Park Chan Wook's Thirst for something out of the box.

If you are adventurous do check out this solid foreign language listing. Plenty of must watch, I've seen 80% and owned a fair bit of it in Blu-ray.

Svaha: The sixth finger - Almost a good movie.

As usual, you can't avoid some Korean movie tropes. Overacting and a convoluted storyline. This reminded me a lot of the old Taiwanese Double Vision movie that starred David Morse and Tony Leung. Instead of authority investigating a cult, it's a pastor that exposes charlatans and looking into a sinister cult that target a very peculiar girl that got something to do with a Buddhist scripture. There are some disturbing imagery and things can get pretty freaky in the final act. The problem lies in messy set-ups and slow to get going. While the last act pretty good but the journey to it, is a slog. When you have nothing else to watch on Netflix, no harm giving this a look or sick of the usual haunted house/demon possession put out by Hollywood.

You can try The Ritual, it's The Wicker Man plus a monster. The Perfection for the crazy premise and WTF twist. Both to me watchable la! Not the best also not the worst.

It's about the surviving sister having dissociative identity disorder over her deceased sister. Few years back the German did a similar premise but much more grounded version called Goodnight Mommy.

Double Vision is a better movie than Savaha.

Yes it is.

IMO the catalyst for the current zombie craze starts with 28 Days Later. It marries dark human drama with the terror of the undead. I did like the follow-up 28 Weeks Later a fair bit. It's the precursor to The Walking Dead existence. Rec is outstanding for the first two movies but ignore the third one at all cost.

Goodnight Mommy is not your typical Hollywood movie but European art house type. It's a slow burn and atmospheric. It's akin to Let The Right One In.

Another day, another reboot. The premise differ a bit from the OG but unsure it can be as effective...

The problem is the reboot headed by David S.Goyer. No film director attached yet. Goyer on his own is mediocre, his acclaimed works usually accompanied by a strong film director like Del Toro, Nolan, etc... His solo projects sucks balls. An anthology TV show surrounding Cenobite also on planning stage.

Urmmm...B-movie premise la, high suspension of disbelief is the point!
In reality the movie ends when Haley got mauled the first time. She can run and swim like a champion afterward. Gator chomping her hand also no worries.
At the end, the pacing and tension overshadowed those minor movie logic nitpicking.

There are some horror maestros singing praises for this. Looks intriguing.

GDT shepherding a Scott Cooper film. Coaching performance is the strong suit of Cooper. Hope this can rise above the norm.

Old school "creature in the deep sea". Shall see anything good will come out of it.

"Ready or not" is damn fun. BTW Samara Weaving is Agent Smith's niece. If Margot Robbie unable to take up a role, the producer should go to Samara. At certain angle, both of them looks identical.

Tigers Are Not Afraid - A "3 wishes" dark fantasy.

A bit like Pan's Labyrinth, about children using a fairy tale myth to deal with harsh reality. A lawless Mexico town where orphaned kids are casualty of Cartel crimes. A spirit/demon started to haunt our lead girl right before her mother disappearance. The last moment the girl had with her mother is retelling a tale of a princess granted with 3 wishes. From there it's about the orphaned girl surviving the harsh conditions and the spirit egging her to use the 3 wishes. Of course being a dark fantasy, those wishes comes with consequences. The fantasy and horror are a reflection of the Cartel injustice. Not your usual Hollywood's garbage.

Midsommar - Not as you think what it is.
This is not your traditional sense of horror movie and it's a long slow burn. It's a break-up drama for the first half and all hell breaks loose in the end. For me the best performance being carried out by Florence Pugh. A needy train wreck that irritates the hell out of you who drawn you into her transformation slowly as we get to see the BF is a piece of grade A dirtbag. Will Poulter provide most of the comedy relief by his unbelievable douchebag personality. Like Hereditary, the unifying theme again about grieving that led to a sinister path. Super strange and weird ass gory stuffs did happen. If you dug it, gonna be those movies you rewatch multiple times to catch subtle clues of where the story going. Prefer this over Hereditary on my personal preference.

OK exorcism scenes but garbage story premise. Needlessly convoluted set-ups and one too many far fetch plot developments. Strictly for those who want to watch Korean pretty idol. I have no context to who's who of Korean pop idols except those character actor like Song Kang Ho.

Coming from Stephen King and his son, Joe Hill. Interesting premise with enough mystery hook to invest on the characters. The ending a little predictable but OK for what it is. A mysterious corn field that lure unsuspecting victims to trap in a time loop nightmare. Very "Lost-esque". Watchable to pass time and not a horror breakthrough.

Ya...think the son, Joe Hill did the heavy lifting as it doesn't do the mumbo jumbo last act that King like to do on his books, base on what I saw in the movie. The son can write, he's not bad and just need that one giant hit to be up there with his dad. Love his Locke & Key books.
