its october and the only horror movies i've watched are scream 1-3. they are ok for what they are (deconstruction of horror tropes via murder mystery), but i need something spicier. something existentially horrifying, not just a wrinkly monster chase or a crazy guy hacking up white girls. something that follows you out of the movie and changes how you think about the world for a few days before you're normal again. stuff that pulls at the threads of your understanding of reality. a lot of so called psychological thrillers do this but thats not specifically what i'm looking for as much as existential terror.

since i created this post i'll start with suggestions of my own

1 - SKINAMARINK

watch this without any research or info going in. all i will say is that there is limited dialogue and the amount of times you see a face or character asymptotically approaches zero. watch while stoned for maximum effect.

2 - They Look Like People

psychological thriller, avoiding spoilers but i'll say that it mayyybe leans into some problematic ableist tropes relating to mental health common to the horror genre. i have a friend that loves this movie and relates to it strongly for mental health reasons though so i might be over- or under- analyzing.

3 - The Lighthouse

monochrome period piece. 2 boys 1 lighthouse. you can probably predict how this goes but the execution is so worth it, the actors are amazing and the cinematography is excellent.

thats pretty much all i got, i haven't seen that many movies.

it's hard to define what does it for me, 99% of the time it doesn't scare me, sometimes it's unsettling, but most of the time it's just a movie that has darker-than-usual themes and subject matter that rides or dies on the same hills of any other genre. impress me with clever craft & interesting ideas, give me insurgent political ideas under the thinnest of pretenses. make me laugh.

"horror" gets to be a very diverse and creative genre because it is not for children, but generally not taken seriously either, so they're allowed to be very left wing---as all biblically accurate zombie films are
