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.

Holy shit ofc how did I forget Capaldi. Legendary.

Yh when i watched Horrors of Malformed Men I was three joints in and that was too much honestly. Really next level. Like it just gets more and more insane.

If you liked that you might also like Dogura Magura by Toshio Matsumoto. Also disturbing. Same guy who did Funeral Parade of Roses (masterpiece imo).

Ive been going through Yoshihige Yoshida's stuff over the last year as well as he's quick become one of my fav directors.
