Also Mystery of the Wax Museum is an overall better film IMO than House of Wax. House of Wax is campier in comparison.

I've watched a lot of Rollin even though I don't really like the movies that much. They have an odd charm that made me keep trying new ones. I thought he had potential for good things but I don't know how much he delivered.
My favorites were Shiver of the Vampires - with the cool french name Le frisson des vampires and a memorable guitar soundtrack
and Lips of Blood aka Lèvres de sang

Rewatched ‘Darkness Falls’ again today, and I was struck by how pretty it was to look at. The opening/prologue sequence in particular was masterfully shot. I am honestly quite surprised at how low this film is rated. IMHO this film is a diamond in the rough – there are certainly things that could have been changed, but compared to the vast majority of modern horror films, this one stands out.
The commentary tracks for this film are some of the most enjoyable and interesting tracks I have listened to, and provide a lot of insight into the process of making a film from the perspective of the script-writers, producers and directors.

Horsehead – A very interesting & visually impressive film
The House of the Devil – stylistically inspired by ’80s slashers, but takes a very different turn
The Beyond – Not the easiest to follow, but the visuals & the atmosphere is terrific, so is the soundtrack.
Starry Eyes – Gorgeous cinematography & one of the best original soundtracks I have heard in quite some time; very unsettling as it slowly descends into chaos & madness
Saun – not your traditional horror film; very bleak & dark – beautifully shot

After posting a video of herself robbing a convenience store, Kiya (Addison Timlin) amasses a huge social media following. A reckless loner, she seeks some form of genuine human connection. Through her travels, she encounters a drifter, an Internet troll and a paint huffing outsider who are all pulled into her circle of chaos, junk food, and drugs. In a world of fabricated personalities, Kiya is intent on exposing something gutturally truthful about humanity, but ultimately, she must confront herself.

I discovered this film thanks to an article over at Bloody Disgusting! - ‘Like Me’ Looks Like a Gritty Florescent Trip! (SXSW Trailer): http://archive.is/OAPsn
Also, I’d like to recommend one of my all-time favourites: ‘The Haunted Palace’ from 1963 directed by Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price, Lon Chaney, Jr., & Debra Paget.
Despite the title it is actually based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft – chiefly ‘The Case of Charles Dexter Ward’ & some ideas from ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth’. This is actually the first feature film adaptation of Lovecraft’s work.
I think this film is underrated compared to Corman’s Poe cycle – though they are all worth a watch as well. Vincent Price’s performance is top notch, and the gorgeous matte paintings and large sets are a treat to watch.

I don't understand why "little niggers" was used as a phrase for a string of murdered people? There is another example of the same thing in Kind Hearts and Coronets. Neither example is racial much less racially malicious. I know "nigger" wasn't as offensive in Britain in the early 20th century but that doesn't really explain why it was used like this. What do you think?

Very interesting, didn't even think about it. Here's what I found about the original Agatha Christie story.
>In the original story, Christie uses the reference, nigger, in three different ways. The story is set on an island off the coast of Devon, England, called Nigger Island –‘It got its name from its resemblance to a man’s head — the profile of a negro’.
>The second reference is the poem, Ten Little Niggers, a framed copy of which hung in each of the guest rooms. The poem, adapted in 1869 by Frank J. Green from the original, Ten Little Injuns (Septimus Winner, 1868), was already a minstrel show favorite before Christie further popularized it, using its contents to provide the overall framework of her story.
>The third reference to niggers in Christie’s story is to ten small porcelain black statues in the middle of the dinner table, which mysteriously disappear one-by-one in parallel with the deaths of the ten island guests.

American International’s adaption of Lovecraft’s ‘The Dunwich Horror’ from 1970 was quite interesting. It feels more like a witch cult film than an Lovecraftian horror film, and the scenes shot on location are breathtaking.
I’d also recommend the 1975 TV adaption of M. R. James’ ‘The Ash-tree’ (the adaption was named ‘The Ash Tree’). This was, IMHO, a step up in quality from the previous TV adaptions of James’ stories.
I have not yet seen ‘A Field in England’, but it seems to fit the bill somewhat.

New from the director of Room 237
I'm skeptical though...
> Why are we simultaneously attracted to and repelled by the things that scare us the most? PRIMAL SCREEN attempts to understand. In this first Shudder Original, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher (ROOM 237, THE NIGHTMARE) explores the pop culture that left dark impressions on us as children. Ascher asks real people to look back at pop-culture artifacts that traumatized them in their youth and describe the effect they had on their lives. A singular hybrid of documentary and horror, it’s time to stare into the PRIMAL SCREEN.

Well, that was (mostly) underwhelming…
Visually it is on par with major Hollywood productions – the special effects were very good for the most part. A very few CGI effects looked a little wonky, but nothing distracting. It was very reminiscent of ‘Alien’ – the sole survivor running down narrow hallways from a monster, the warning lights flashing.
The acting wasn’t anything to write home about. Dakota Fanning was obviously in it because of name recognition. I did not buy either of the characters, and the social commentary and story was bland and distractingly bad.
Special effects-wise the monster looked great, but it was shown way too often and for too long – and in well-lit rooms! It should’ve been shown sparsely, and never in a well-lit room.
Summa summarum: Great special effects, design & visuals, but lacking in acting, dialogue & plot.
Neil should leave the writing to someone else and focus on directing.

I just watched THEM! since it was posted here.
Atomic age monster movies can be very cheesy due to bad effects or bad acting. However this movie performs about as well as can be expected -- despite telling a pretty outlandish story. Certain scenes reminded me of Phase IV and Alien.
As you'd expect, the central message is to be fearful of the unintended consequences of the government's nuclear bomb testing. That's all well and good. Yet paradoxically the viewer is subjected to quite a lot of propaganda in favor of that same government's ability to solve big problems. Furthermore, solving these problems means it's okay to lie, deprive individuals of their rights, institute martial law, etc. These aspects felt like conditioning and rubbed me the wrong way.

I might have something that plays better with normies: Todd Haynes' Safe. Compared to the other suggestion, this one is 1) newer and 2) features a Hollywood star. (Those are the two main reasons to watch a movie, right?) Safe isn't a true horror but the film has a uniquely unsettling atmosphere that builds and builds. See what you think.

The animal death scenes are great. Very brutal. And there are some human gore scenes that are hard to watch as well. An overall challenging film but worth a watch to see if you can handle it.
Personally, I had to stop watching Salo because of the grotesque sexuality. That bothers me more than anything in Cannibal Holocaust.

DEADLY BLESSING has one of my favorite horror posters because of the way it mixes fear with eroticism. I wonder the name of the model in the poster. Sharon Stone plays the girl in that scene... it's surprising that her face would be replaced.
The movie is essentially a dumb slasher that takes place around an Amish-like farming community. The concept has potential but the execution is unremarkable. Having seen none of Wes Craven's early films, I assume The Hills Have Eyes and Last House on the Left are better.
Also Mandy.2018.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTG.mkv has hit the web. Maybe some of you guys have seen it already. I'll report back if I get around to watching.

Yeah, it's better than the 5.5 imdb rating. I thought the desolate rural location was pretty cool. Ernest Borgnine puts a surprising amount of effort into his role as the Hittite patriarch, although whenever there's a movie with a ranting cult leader, they usually make the character so malevolent it's hard to believe that he'd have any followers.

Maybe The Descent? It plays on claustrophobia and you know things aren't going to go well pretty quickly. Also the GOAT -- Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) -- starts off with a sense of foreboding right off the bat, although I'm not sure if that's the kind of discomfort you're looking for.

They should, but there are too many horror movies that just feature long empty moments waiting for the jump scare to arrive, followed by the protagonist running away to safety. The Last House on the Left literally had a long and intense rape scene which the girl couldn't escape from. Everything in Psycho just seemed "off", largely thanks to both the setting and Anthony Perkins' performance. That's kind of what I mean.

Eye of the Devil was one of the first films I watched that (at the time) was not on DVD. So I felt cool to be able to see something "rare".
It's not a classic, but it's got a decent cast with Sharon Tate, David Niven, David Hemmings, Donald Pleasence. I hadn't seen The Innocents when I first watched this, so I didn't know Deborah Kerr was kind of reprising her famous role.

I'd say Wax Museum is a better film than the average Universal horror. Universal is loved for the classic monsters, but the scriptwriting has a lot of flat characters and contrived plot points. I feel like I have to lower expectations to enjoy those films.
Wax Museum also has many scenes with the Gatling banter of a screwball comedy. It must be the first film with the trope of constant verbal jousting between male and female newspaper reporters.
Pretty good 30s Hollywood horror. I think the laserdisc has the proper grading for red/green 2 strip technicolor. Other versions get it wrong.

I know I'm responding to a 4 month old post, but if anyone here hasn't seen this, I highly recommend it. It's a super artistic revenge movie with horror elements; I wouldn't necessarily classify it as a straight horror movie, but there's enough supernatural elements, dark imagery, and blood and violence for it to be included in this thread. The plot line is very very simple, the trailer pretty much tells the story, but it's shot and edited so beautifully that it doesn't really matter.

I like the more mainstream films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho, but I also think movies like Begotten, Ringu, and Haxan ought to be mentioned for terrifying the shit out of me when I was a teenager.
Speaking of which, I remember watching a video from Cinemassacre about this obscure Japanese surreal movie, with a typical plot of teenaged girls wandering into a haunted house, before surreality hits, and all sorts of strange things happen, like one of the girls getting eaten alive by a piano. An interesting element, If I remember correctly, was that the director consulted his daughter on what would scare her the most, when making the movie.

I'd never looked into the author of the Schalcken story, Sheridan Le Fanu. Sometimes great horror films come from great authors. I noticed his Carmilla story has spawned a lot of very different films -- Alucarda, Vampire Lovers, Let's Scare Jessica to Death, The Blood Spattered Bride --- so I wonder which adaptation is the closest to his writing?

THE TERRITORY (Raoul Ruiz, 1981)
I watched this without knowing it was a horror at first. It seemed more like a cool weird movie from Ruiz, who was so great in the 80s.
The story involves a couple of small families who go hiking together in the woods. In the course of their journey there's quite a lot of strange events to digest. Sometimes the film seems to be exhibiting unexpected randomness, which can be enjoyable on a surface level, but (as challenging as it may be) it's worth reflecting on what Ruiz may be saying. IMDb has a pretty good user review which outlines some of the basic ideas.

I'm interested in M.R. James so I'll take that recommendation. Coincidentally I came to this thread having just watched one of those previous TV adaptions you referenced. Whistle and I'll Come to You builds and builds only to fizzle out into nothing. There were some creepy sequences, and I liked all the attention toward "Englishmen muttering incoherently", but overall it's a disappointment.

I would label the series as "dystopian horror" which is kind of unusual. I can't think of anything else in that category. Typically dystopian movies are in the sci-fi genre with less violence.
Two regular horror movies similar to The Purge are Ils (2006) and The Strangers (2008). But, your mileage may vary because they don't have the "Extreme alternate culture timeline" aspect.
