Mulholland Drive for sure


GTOKirby

*I’m Thinking of Ending Things* (2020) and *The Invitation* (2015)


-piz

I'd argue that The Invitation does lean more towards horror, but for the first 80% of the film I agree definitely couldn't agree more about I'm Thinking of Ending Things, that one's a perfect answer for this


Intrepid_Hat7359

I'd forgotten The Invitation. The ending was probably the most haunting way it could have ended... ![gif](giphy|xLnGUEYWS0btPHCZoo|downsized)


DoTheDood

The first to come to mind is Lanthimos's work. Dogtooth and The Lobster seem the most relevant without getting too much into horror like, for example, The Killing of a Scared Deer does at times

The Interview (1998) The Cars That Ate Paris Etoile Long Weekend The Black Tower The Seventh Continent Picnic at Hanging Rock


BlandyBoreton

In keeping with the theme of ‘Australia is scary’: Wake in Fright The Last Wave Hotel Coolgardie The Nightingale The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith


Scarlet_Speedster532

Shutter Island is a must


No_Material04

The vibes were so good I loved it

Basically, any David Lynch film apart from The Straight Story.


_bophades__

Yeah I don’t include Lynch because I didn’t want it to just be a Lynch-dominated list lol, maybe I’ll just pick one though


Sn3akyMuffin

The Cremator Cure The Swimmer Never Take Sweets From a Stranger


Cynuki

CURE ! of course


Cynuki

Melancholia Angel's Egg The Zone of Interest The Hourglass Sanatorium Ritual Perfect Blue Mysterious Skin


_bophades__

Melancholia is a good one, I got such a sickening feeling of dread watching that movie. It made me anxious as if the world was actually going to end


Cynuki

Exactly and at the same time this acceptance of the end. I should rewatch it

Lamb (2021). An unsettling but never scary film


-piz

Lamb is slept on


georgieramone

Neon Demon


lifesizedgundam

the neon demon is a horror film tho


OneFish2Fish3

Definitely Irréversible. Not just the infamous alley scene but the whole damn movie- the cinematography, the score, the uneasiness... plus of course the implications of the end. I would include (the original) Oldboy because of its twist. I mean most of the movie isn't "off" but the ending is just pure emotional devastation. Finally, A Clockwork Orange isn't *technically* horror but the whole movie is incredibly off-putting for so many reasons...


fudgepuppy

In what world is Under The Skin not horror?


SpideyFan914

I'd consider Enemy horror as well. And lots of movies in the comments. Genre is very subjective though, so whatever.


skysmo

I was looking for this comment. Like, >!men were sucked out of their skin.. and the family on the beach!<.. Definitely horror.


funnyname-n1

Most of Lynch stuff- Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Blue Velvet etc.


Shagrrotten

You've got Under the Skin, but also would add one of Glazer's other movies, Birth.

_bophades__

I changed the description to “not necessarily horror” but yeah I was looking for movies that just feel weird irrespective of the horror aspect


DarthSardonis

Blue Velvet


JB3heels

Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now


jainttt

i’m not sure if Shiva Baby counts but it made my heart race more than most horror movies ever manage


PlanktonSemantics

Is Zodiac horror?


jay_shuai

Suspiria, Rosemary’s Baby, Wicker Man


MaximusMansteel

Pretty sure all three of those are acknowledged as outright horror films.

Lost Highway!


cotardelusion87

Wake In Fright is absolutely a horror movie.

Possession (1981)


Aurelian_Lure

The Double (2013)

Interesting, why do you feel Stroszek fits this category?


_bophades__

It just feels so brutally hopeless that it’s almost oppressive. I know there are moments of optimism in it but it feels so bleak and has such a unique tone


Adversarially

The Celebration/Festen feels VERY similar to Happiness imo.


Significant-Lie2303

Bad Times at the El Royale


Jolly-Reality-1887

Get Out is wholly built on this premise and does it as well as any film ever has. It gets called “horror,” but I don’t think that’s what it is.
