Hey,
I’m looking for a horror movie recommendation, but not the usual mainstream stuff. No classics, no super popular titles everyone already knows. I want something rare, obscure, and genuinely weird.

I’m talking about pure horror not horror-comedy, not just a thriller with some creepy vibes. I want something that feels deeply unsettling, surreal, disturbing, maybe even a bit experimental. The kind of movie that leaves you uncomfortable or questioning what you just watched.

The stranger and darker, the better as long as it’s still real horror.

Any hidden gems out there?

I guess you should see what you think of Skinamarink.

Yeah, won't guarantee you'll like it, but it definitely checks those boxes.

I feel like this movie was 10/10 until the end. It’s a 6/10. Sorry I can’t remember the name, but I know it

The House of the Devil
That is my usual recommendation

Hugely underrated one, give Session 9 a shot. It's a bit of a slow one but the atmosphere is unrelenting and the musical score especially is ridiculously unnerving.
>>
Speak no evil the original foreign version was unsettling to me but its not that sort of paranormal horror which I feel the OP desired

I whaled a whole pizza and put this on. Ended up falling asleep and woke up to some face on the screen. Kind of freaked me out but needless to say I was one of the filtered because I found it very dull.
>>
>>218292594
Yep, was gonna recommend this one. Don't know if it will be the soul changing movie that OP is looking for but it's a very solid horror film
>>
>>218292594
This movie is great in its first half then it definitely drags and just becomes sad
>>
>>218293663
the sadness is part of what makes it great

when the entity kills the little boy over and over and we see it repeat it again and again i knew this was a 20/10 film

tramaumatic, really

The Living Skeleton (1968)
Bizarre, haunting, surreal and extremely atmospheric.

Ghostwatch is a great psuedo-live broadcast horror.

Jug Face is hillbilly eldritch kino.

El Casa Lobo is exquisite dark stop-motion.
>>
>>218291736
Probably not dark enough for what you're looking for but your image strongly reminded me of this.

Man, that movie is disappointing af. Only the first 30 minutes is good. The rest is pure drek

Wasn't that remade with the Harry Potter guy?

Yeah but it was paint by numbers modern horror. Annabelle type shit.

I liked it.far better than boring gore movies

If you're looking for experimental, you want Begotten. Though it's somewhat well-known and a little pretentious.

i know you said no comedy-horror, but this one hits differently... just trust me

>>218292594
If it had more tense parts such as the 'look under the bed' scene I'd agree. It really is just meandering most of the time.
>>
>>218294000
At first glance I thought this was a fake poster with that scene from True Lies.

Giga kino film, they don't make them like that anymore.
Also I'd say it's not that slow, the pacing is great.

>>218296863
great movie but the horror was a bit unrelated between each other, maybe this should've been two movies instead

Did the babysitter is stalked trope way before Halloween et al. Deeply disturbing and well shot.
>>
Seen Dumplings? I'm not sure is it exactly obscure, it was somewhat well know in the 2000s.

It starts with the two cops bumbling about the cases and their lives, but it abandons the comedic when it goes deeper and deeper into the hellhole.

Mag Mag is a satire horror, but you won't regret it.

Return to Silent Hill. The way the movie was done applies to most of your requests. Puzzling stuff. Is the movie good, tho? Well, not really, I guess.
>>
>>218291736
Audition is good. Though not exactly a hidden gem.
>>
Taxidermia, a bit comedic but very unique

Does this count?

>>218291736
I watched both Creep movies yesterday and it was surprisingly kino, specially the second one.

Fits the the bill apart from being obscure.

In a Violent Nature
>>
>>218291736
I remember a horror movie called yellow brick road, watched that ages ago and never heard of it again
but every now and then it pops back into my memory
it had such a weird vibe and story, unsettling atmosphere and all
it wasnt really a good movie nor a "hidden gem" but it had such irrational and disturbing scenes which made the whole thing just uncomfortable and confusing
some movies are just confusing cause they are bad
this wasnt bad it was okay, just strange

There are far more demented movies made in the US.
>>
>>218295897
I've never seen a good Japanese horror movie. While better than American remakes, they are boring. Also, violence and perversion are not scary. Even if you are into this shit, movies don't come close to real footage. These movies are pointless.

>>218291736
It Follows.
>>
>>218293872
Eh it's not really scary. Like most thrillers it just hinges on a plot twist which I do admit was interesting but not enough to carry the film. Most the middle part feels like filler and while I do like how the villain is explored I feel like the attempts at being "philosophical" fall flat. It would have worked great as a short film and I'm convinced people give it too much credit because it's foreign cinema.
>>
>>218291736
Inland Empire (2006) feels like a never ending nightmare, not scary in the keeps you on your toes traditional sense, but more in the makes you uneasy and confused sense.

if you want something more obscure try A Visitor to a Museum (1989) for a journey into a apocalyptic burning hell world.

>>218291736
This one may not be to everyone’s taste, but I’m gonna recommend “A Dark Song.”
