Itβs not a movie, rather a game: Layers of Fear
We played it at a friend (well, he played and we watched) back in⦠2018? Or maybe 19?
Long story short, I try to forget it to experience it again later in 2030.

Not my favourite but Sleepaway Camp is an absolute classic of so-bad-its-good 80s horror with an unforgettable ending.
GYO Tokyo Fish Attack. Body horror is a great genre that doesnβt come around very often without looking kind of cheesy so it helps being animation.
The Fly is another great example of the genre. Such an excellent movie with a sad ending to top it off.
day of the dead is fantastic. perfect build up and release. watched it with a lot of friends and damn we went crazy for that ending
Midsommer is my favorite. A slow, realistic slide into horror.
The original Night of the living Dead is way up there for vanilla zombie horror. 28 days later for modern zombies.
Thankskilling and Jack Frost for B movie holiday horror.
The ending of NOTLD is still so relevant today, sadly.

Mood, man.
...or wait, is that a title? Lol
Another horror favorite: Don't Look Now (1973), directed by Nicolas Roeg, starring Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland. Set in Venice, it concerns a couple recovering from the accidental death of their very young daughter. Roeg uses the color red as a signature throughout the film: things are not always what they seem.
One of my favorites, one I feel is hugely underrated, Michael Wadleigh's 1981 Wolfen, which is not about werewolves, but ecological displacement, loss of habitat from urban development (among other issues), and not terrorism
a conclusion initially drawn by the police
but territory. With Albert Finney, Diane Venora, Gregory Hines, Edward James Olmos, and Tom Noonan. Its release in theaters was eclipsed by βThe Howlingβ and βAn American Werewolf in Londonβ, but Wolfen is not merely a horror movie, but an intelligent one, ahead of its time IMHO. The confrontation atop the Manhattan Bridge between Finney and Olmos (see below, not a spoiler), which still makes my knees weak, involves no stunt doubles. The film also has beautiful dog sequences, imaginative cimenatography, and yes, some gore.
Army of Darkness.
Bob Roberts, a true tale of political horror.
