I just watched Begotten and I'm not sure if I liked it or hated it. It was definitely different! I loved the no dialog aspect and some of the visuals.
Anyone else have any recommendations like this flick?

I did my robotripping watching The Wall in a dorm room. Is that too cliche? I don't know if I could have handled a horror movie.
After downing the bottle of maximum strength, I went outside with my friends and smoked a joint. We came in and had a couple beers and put on the Pink Floyd movie. I took a codiene for good measure. Why not mix four things at once? When it all kicked in, the musical crescendos had my heart pounding pretty fast.
I didn't hallucinate at all though. It just felt like an intense drunk/high. I was behaving oddly but that's as far as it went.
Anyway, this thread needs mention of The Cremator (1969) and Angst (1983). Both are pretty warped yet uniquely appealing in different ways.

I think Decasia is a lot like Begotten in some ways. It really builds into this crazy thing. The music makes it a very intense experience.

Also, one movie that that kind of fits this thread is Ice from the Sun. Low budget madness, narratively horrible but it well worth a watch. It has these horror clichés but they do get experimental.
Possession maybe?
I think Pig (1998) is related too but I haven't seen it.

Ice from the Sun does have terrible reviews but if you strap yourself in for low budget madness, reviews don't really matter or do they? I just wish this movie was discussed more. I think there's more to it than 'z-budget horror maker tries pretentious shit'. Even tho a lot about the movie wasn't good at all, it was still very interesting.
Decasia is indeed interesting. There's not much more to it than is in that clip but it makes for one hell of a trip. People've been talking about DPH and DXM in this thread? Decasia is a descent into dissociative madness. Not like there's someone or something in the movie that can replace your self but after watching this I felt like someone scooped out my soul.
The only movies that I think are truly similar are Inland Empire and Begotten, but this is without narrative.
Yes, I was talking about Possession (1981). I've seen it a few weeks ago for the first time and I have to say it's quite a thing. Not sure wether I think it's a good movie or not but it definitely left an impression. Like a crazy crossover between Blue Velvet and a Cronenberg movie. Just go see it, it is bonkers.
Oh, it has this character that has the same accent as Tommy Wiseau and the main character is called Mark. Yay.

Legitimately horrifying…yet weirdly fascinating if you can stomach the content.
This is a documentary about an extreme bdsm site called insex.com which no longer exists because DHS killed its credit card processing. The demented spectacle of girls pushed to their bounds of trauma/pain is more Graphic Horror than Sex. Supposedly consent is involved, but there's a lot of pressure to avoid safewording – both by the site owner's manipulative mindfuckery and the thousands of expectant site members watching live.
Crazy shit.

The complete siterip is on empornium. I don't know what's worth watching. Maybe the popular models. The bits in the doc that stuck out were scenes that went too far for the model.
The site owner Brent Scott started by making grainy bondage art (?) films and performance pieces. That stuff would be more interesting to me than seeing some college dropout getting whipped. At the same time there was a lot of malevolent creativity behind the custom-made leather, rope and metalworks the site featured.

Rather frightening. The use of impressionistic techniques of montage and the sheer grotesque nature of it combined with the slow and concise build up to the climax is perhaps the strongest point of the film.

there are conventions though, that, when broken, are noticeable to the observer if they have observed other art of the same type that all follows the traditional conventions
e.g. Shining crossing the line

Sorry, I should have elaborated more. I guess the biggest example would be how The Shining crosses the line/breaks the 180 degree rule. It's often hard to exactly tell the general layout of the Overlook and it's rooms when Kubrick constantly switches where you are viewing the scene. In the kitchen he even crosses the 180 degree line, but keeps the door for the pantry on the same side of the shot, effectively changing the architecture in an instant. This is added to by the fact that the Overlook contains "impossible" rooms, where there is a door to somewhere, but it's also where a larger room/different room/staircase/etc. should be.

I've never watched anything from Toetag. I'm not sure I want to. But they're supposedly pretty extreme http://toetag.biz/filmography/
A more pleasant introduction to Toetag would be to watch S&MAN. It shines some light on the type of horror being made independently

Manoel on the island of wonders has it's disturbing moments too.

Also i remember Innocence being very dreamy, not nightmarish, but there's certain atmospheric elements that make it a very uncomfortable film.

Some people may find it dreamy (the chan crowd generally has no problem with sexualizing children, not implying you don't seem to mind), but I found it very unsettling, especially the last half hour or so. Read some reviews of the film, most people find the film creepy and disturbing.

The Blind Owl is my favorite Ruiz. The mood in that film is the epitome of uncanniness.
Slashers are so formulaic, I don't think I have ever seen one that I really like. Any suggestions? No Giallo though, strongly dislike the genre.

Fire walk with me was absolute dog shit. Nothing about that movie was actually good, it wasn't experimental or intelligent either, it just sloppily filled in some of the gaps in the twin peaks sorry while adding a lot more questions than it answered, that in turn will never be answered.
I felt bad for wasting my time on it just as I finished watching.
If you want good Twin Peaks related "horror", the last episode of the second season was brilliant, that last sequence was unnerving.

Slashers I'd recommend Peeping Tom and Maniac. Hopefully you'd like at least one of them.
I'll let Scorsese talk about Peeing Tom (maybe you've already seen it). Maniac is gritty and violent but I appreciate the anarchic nature of their production. They shot in NYC without permits and even discharged a real shotgun (very illegal) in the city! They also avoided union rules by claiming the film would be X rated (a union loophole) based on a pornographic murder scene that they had no plans to shoot. There was a remake but I haven't seen it.
