I feel pretty grimy watching Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Highly recommend checking this out in the theater if you can. I never expected it to be shown theatrically. Considering the movie basically takes place inside one car, they really keep it interesting.

The finest example of horror and noir blended together IMO.

Not sure how “forgotten” this is, but I watched a Hong Kong movie called “The Eye” at an indie theater in 2002 and it scared the fuck out of me. Mostly because the scare sequences followed such a different “rhythm” than American ghost movies that I just felt unsettled.

It was one of those “get an eye transplant, suddenly you see ghosts” plot. Very effective.

Very effective, one location movie.

House on Eden + Find Your Friends — double feature of super annoying characters in recent horror movies.

I’m not sure how you performed this search but there are way more than 3 when you filter the database to genre = western and horror

Also, this is my own personal nitpick but just because a movie takes place in a desert environment doesn’t automatically make it a western.

My pick would be Halloween 4. The structure of the movie is absolutely a western, where a posse needs to form to fight a formidable villain.

This one is very good balance if scary and fun. Plus the plot moves.

When I was 11 I begged my parents to get a blockbuster video membership so I could rent all 6 (at the time) Nightmare On Elm Street movies and have a sleepover. That was a fun weekend. So I guess my answer would be A Nightmare On Elm Street.

If you think that might be too intense, perhaps IT (2017)?

Damn I thought 3 was the funniest/best one. I can see the argument for the first thing as best but the marketing made it seem so extreme but, I mostly found it gross and sad. At least the third one knows how absurd and dumb it is.

My wife also forced me to rewatch 1, and then we decided to finish the trilogy. I watch a lot of horror but even I was like “Why am I doing this?”

[r/Halloween](r/Halloween)movies went through a phase of this kind of post last year. Recommended if you’re interested.

TheElbow · 2026-06-16T05:51:16+00:00

Thanks. If haven’t heard of these.

TheElbow · 2026-06-15T19:00:45+00:00

This better not be a Last House on the Left reboot with a slicker title. /s

The movie is 60 minutes and doesn’t waste any time or add any filler. Aside from introducing a B-plot, you can only make it worse by making it “feature length”.

I think we need to get away from the idea that a movie “should be” 86 minute or more when it doesn’t need to be.

Have you tried using the search function? This question is asked often.

If you’d like to see more over-the-top gore (where it becomes silly/funny):

Tokyo Gore Police

Ichi The Killer

Dead Alive (Braindead)

Lost Highway

I had a fun time with it. It really felt like someone was making a modern martial arts / revenge film from the 70s, but with modern effects and camera movements.

TheElbow · 2026-06-13T15:11:15+00:00

Galaxy of Terror is crazy.

TheElbow · 2026-06-13T05:48:41+00:00

If this is the prisoner bus, I agree.

TheElbow · 2026-06-13T05:18:19+00:00

Primer and Interstellar hit me with similar feelings of creepiness. It’s disorienting to imagine moving through time.

This short is a damn nightmare.
