recommendations for good (not so well known) horror films?

Rec is a good shout although stay away from the third installment as it’s beyond terrible.
The loved ones is not a bad film, bit bonkers like.
Martyrs, Frontiers and Switchblade Romance are some good French offerings.
Session 9 creeped me out.

Not really a scary horror but Ive just enjoyed watching trollhunter

Martyrs is good, check another French film called Inside.
Excision I really enjoyed, especially the dream sequences 😀
Three extremes
Ichi The Killer
Sympathy for….
Oldboy
The Chaser
Audition
Battle Royale

I Saw The Devil (Korean)
Martyrs (French)

Oldboy and Crimson Rivers aren’t exactly underground, but you mightntve caught them first time around.

Don’t bother with Cabin in the woods .. absolute drivel!!

Have you seen Creep? Brit flick from about ten years ago. Uncomplicated, creepy (set in London Underground) and a really quite hideous creature.

Not sure how unknown it is but I really enjoyed Sam Rami’s “Drag Me To Hell”.

Some interesting films on there, a few added to the list (though now we live on the edge of a forest in a detached house the wife gets pretty freaked out by any horror films! Barely been allowed to watch any…) I prefer ones which get under your skin and linger, not gore fests or jump out your seat frights.

Ones missed which I liked:

Let The Right One In – the Scandinavian one, really loved it. Not the scariest film but beautifully shot and really well done.

Stakeland – little indie flick about a vampire apocalypse (makes a change from zombies), surprised me a lot by how good it was and the climax sticks in my head somewhat.

The Road – it just got under my skin. Really quite haunting.

Wolf Creek is pretty damn Scary
The original Japanese version of Dark Water (not the pointless Hollywood remake) is properly creepy

It’s more ‘horror’ than horror. Worth a punt.

Old Boy (again).
Audition is fairly… interesting.

And I loved the Mist – B movie feel, not gory as such, but it gets you thinking lots

The original “Dark Water” is CREEPY throughout.

Can’t go wrong with a bit of David Cronenberg, or maybe if you want something really odd check out Nightbreed.

another vote for ‘outpost’ – great film!

‘rare exports’ – not gory at all, definitely more of a horror-light, but good fun.

The second one is out too, not all the fans of the first one took to it but thats because its sort of a different kind of film about the same of thing, rather than a continuation of the first, although it does follow the first chronologically . The second is a bigger action/adventure/journey rather than the dank claustrophobia of the first one . A third one, which is a prequel, is in post production just now, its set in the 1940s and involves lots of fisticuffs .

I downloaded Outpost II the other night, was a straight to video job, but I’m keen to see what it’s like….
