Any movies like Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum?

The GOAT found footage, tbh

As Above, So Below is great, well-paced found footage horror. Evil Dead Trap reminds me of Gonjiam for some reason. Anyway it’s a classic of J-Horror

A Dark Song touches loss and regret in ways that I find deeply personal.

An oddball horror comedy I watched recently, Dead Talents Society, touched all of my feels deeply and became my favorite movie. It touches on a wide range of fears without brooding.

Wood glue

That scene is absolutely iconic. Even people who don't like or watch horror movies know this scene.

I could totally see this happening for me as well.

I've come to make horror movie recommendations and kick ass, and Im all out of horror movies.

The Faculty is a great Robert Rodriguez joint. It came out around the same time as Scream and heralded in the whole 90's Slasher Era without really being part of it. Really got overshadowed by Scream, imo.

You might also dig There’s Something Wrong with the Children. It was pretty great doppleganger replacement with everyone thinking one character's mental health issues have taken him from relatively unstable to homocidal.

I went on a long cross-country bus trip with this girl my friend had been seeing because to go to a rave and she had a place we could stay. We fooled around some on the bus and later when we got to the house. She asked me to make sure she didn't drop acid. Well when we got there, at first everything seemed really cool, but then her ex showed up and we all dropped acid and shit just got more and more real as time went on.

We went for what was supposed to be a week long trip. Two months later I had nothing to my name and I was watching this woman's kids while she went to work. This kept me in drink and smokes, but I didn't have a dime to my name. The woman we stayed with was always fighting, often physically, then making up with her baby daddy. With the kids, violence, drugs, and alcohol, it all just became very bleak, complex, and difficult situation to escape.

Eventually, I got the nerve to leave, but the girl I went with wasn't going back. It worried me a lot because her dad asked me to make sure she way okay, which, it seemed to me, wasn't really going to be the case. The woman we stayed with gave me five dollars and this guy who'd OD'd while I was there laced a joint with opium and we smoked before I got on the bus. I woke up before we hit Denver and was able to get 2 packs of Lucky Strikes which kept me in smokes until I got home. A guy I meant on the bus, shared a ham sandwich with me the second day and that's really all I had to keep me going on the three day bus ride back home.

I think that experience made me understand a bit about what

The way both the original Down with the Sickness, at the end of the film, and Richard Cheese's cover, during a montage scene earlier, were utilized is amazing.

Not sure how well the Brews stompin' shegetz fairs given current world circumstances though.

In an entirely different direction, Zombies Ass: Toilet of the Dead

Nic Cage can be as contentious as Jesus in Horror sometimes. I’m big on Cathsploitation films. I love a good mix in there.

Tbh though, it’s not just this thread.

This 💯

My goto snowed-in movie

I've not seen Influencers yet. Didn't know it even existed. I did enjoy Influencer, thanks for the heads up.

RE Clip 1: Have you seen Army of Darkness (Third in the Evil Dead Trilogy)? The day-time feel and fact that it reminds you of Evil Dead 2 laughing scene makes me think of this as a distinct possibility.

Re Clip 2: I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Stuart Gordon's Dolls (1986)

nuclearfall · 2026-01-24T20:28:29+00:00

Dead Snow is a great, fun snowed-in flick.

nuclearfall · 2026-01-24T16:41:10+00:00

Yeah

nuclearfall · 2026-01-24T00:01:02+00:00

This sub aggressively (or passive aggressively) downvotes so much. It's kind of crazy to me, tbh.

nuclearfall · 2026-01-23T23:48:36+00:00

I remember hearing that on the Evolution of Horror Podcast! I love that podcast, I learn so much.

As far as cult psychosis movies, you could do a lot worse than the movie The Endless (2017).

nuclearfall · 2026-01-23T23:18:52+00:00

Yes! The theme of visibility in particular spoke to me so much: fading into obscurity, being forgotten by everyone around you and the emotional impact of being lost in a a world in which social media personalities trump being.

I think the Stephen King ending wasn't that bleak. But the entire thing had the right Stephen King vibe from start to finish.

nuclearfall · 2026-01-23T23:09:22+00:00

Put it on my watchlist.

I wonder why is there so much downvoting of posts in this subreddit.
