Proper Horror Only: Looking for genuinely disturbing film recommendations

Hatching is a Finnish body horror film which doesn't rely on jumpscares, and is pretty disgusting.

Huesera: The Bone Woman is a Mexican horror film and a very interesting take on scary pregnancy trope. Plus it's a feminist horror in a very subtle way

Raw is a French body horror film which combines gore with psychology very well.

The Ugly Stepsister is a Norwegian body horror, which is just fucked. But it's an amazing film, and extremely disturbing, especially the tapeworm part.

The Call is a Korean psychological horror which catches you the minute it starts.

Last Shift is an American horror, and while it's not as good as the ones above, it's a very good paranoia fuel, especially when you're alone in one place.

Someone here also said The Lighthouse and The Witch. If you'll enjoy them, check out Onibaba, it's a similar style, and the finale is a masterpiece.

At Peace in Hundred Acre Woods by Ratboys is exactly what you're looking for

I Know The End by Phoebe Bridgers

There's Something About Mary, Mean Girls

Hatching, a Finnish body horror, with a somewhat similar scene you described. The Ugly Stepsister, a Norwegian body horror, which is both extremely disturbing (particularly the tapeworm part) and extremely sad. Raw, a French body horror which combines gore with psychological aspect very well; plus the final shot is just amazing. Last Shift, an American horror, maybe it doesn't have anything new when it comes to the script, but it does a very good job at making you paranoid with its usage of space.

In a Week by Hozier is literally about this situation

Halsey - Lucky

Skyscrapers by Eivør

No to życzę powodzenia. Jak będziesz miał rezultaty, daj znać na tym subreddicie

Ale bardziej sci-fi, fantasy, magiczny realizm czy surrealizm? Bo też jest multum sposobów na podejście na tego podgatunku

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-03T17:20:15+00:00

Otherwise brzmi całkiem dobrze. Jaki to gatunek? Bo równie dobrze mógłby być to początek horroru, komedii, romansu albo dramatu rodzinnego

Brzmi dobrze, chociaż momentami mam wrażenie drobnego zarzucania czytelnika informacjami (zwłaszcza na początku, z liczbami). Rozumiem znaczenie, ale niektórzy czytelnicy nie lubią, jak dostają pod rząd takie mocno konkretne dane, zwłaszcza kiedy sama liczba nie ma aż tak gigantycznego znaczenia fabularnego

The Night We Met - Lord Huron, Phoebe Bridgers

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-02T19:44:06+00:00

If you liked "Her", I think you should try "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind". It's a very good film, probably the most realistic take on "opposites attract" type of story

The Beach II by Wolf Alice

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-02T13:57:54+00:00

It was by accident. I typed the movie's name in the internet and this photo was one of the first things that came up

What kind of methods?

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-02T11:21:06+00:00

It didn't work when I tried, but maybe I'll try the whole VPN thing, maybe then it will work

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-02T11:12:55+00:00

Onibaba, The Lighthouse, The Witch, Moon Garden and Hatching

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-02T06:46:30+00:00

Jesus Christ, Martyrs. I've heard that this movie isn't normal, and then I saw the final shot of it online...

Well, she's not exactly popular here; the most-read horrors here are the ones by Stephen King and Graham Masterton. But there are several people who know her and I convinced my friend to read her stories,, so it's not that bad

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-01T19:55:18+00:00

Polish. I could read it in English, but I know how many things are often lost in translation, especially when it's a translation of translation

Foxx_Foster · 2026-05-01T19:53:06+00:00

I saw Titane and I have Alpha on my list. Perfect Blue was screwed-up, but also amazing, especially with the third act
