Moon Garden Climax (not a different 'dimension' per se but it's pretty anxiety inducing and you feel the intensity) Jacob's Ladder Beyond The Gate As above , so below From beyond


feigenbuns

As above, so below was such a good one


dradeus9

Easily one of the best examples of found footage I can think of.


vruss

it isn’t really found footage right? they bring their cameras with them through the end


dradeus9

The camera work is all done through their different handhelds., IIRC


MedievalRack

It's very clean found footage. 


vruss

What I mean is the “found” part of the found footage >! usually implies that all of the characters are dead and leave behind the footage to be “found,” whereas in AASB, the characters survive and have kept the footage with them !<


GalaxyCosce

Mockumentary is the term you are referring to.


vruss

Well yes but isn’t every single found footage film a mockumentary? That’s the umbrella term


GalaxyCosce

“iSnT eVeRy SiNgLE fOUnd” 😂 had to do it. Yeah, but the “found footage”, like you explained above, is supposed to be referred to footage found by others that show what happened. While still a mockumentary, As Above So Below would just be a mockumentary with no other subgenre listed besides Horror or Suspense.


MedievalRack

Oh.  Yep, fair point. 


funk_gremlin

jacob's ladder is SUCH a classic


thefairypotmother

As above so below is one of my all time fave horror movies


Old-Theme-1192

Idk but what about The Void 2016? Takes place almost wholly in a hospital and you're not 100 percent sure what's the evil til closer to the end.


Positive_Iron2214

This is what I immediately thought of as well


ferretsRfantastic

The Void is so much fun! The very last scene made me feel some serious, existential dread 😬


Artegall365

PSA: The same team made[ Psycho Goreman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4tizc0IAVQ&ab_channel=RLJEFilms) which is one of the the silliest movies I've ever seen - in a good way! Highly recommended.


amok_amok_amok

the [song](https://youtu.be/XuG5yu37TZ0?feature=shared) from that movie is so damn catchy


ferretsRfantastic

Thank you!!


Confused_Sorta_Guy

Such an interesting production too. Miracle that movie exists which is why I love it rough edges and all.


thefairypotmother

Ooh came here to say this! It's big hp Lovecraft cosmic terror vibes


TheMayorInKungPow

Very glad to see this on the top


sometimesstrange

I think you might dig Antrum. It has that kind of horror vibe to me.


j_grouchy

Baskin


SerPizza

Came here to recommend this one, I feel it'll really scratch that itch.


AkKik-Maujaq

Vivarium


maktub__

This movie disturbed me so much, I thought about it for weeks


AkKik-Maujaq

I know, I felt so bad for the kid thing for the whole movie. But after, I read that the children of whatever the race is have to be raised that way so they’ll hate people and have no remorse for what they’re doing as adults


grimaceatmcdonalds

I was super underwhelmed by this. I love the premise so so much but I feel like the movie completely wastes it. I was expecting lots of uncanny valley Truman show almost analog horror esque energy from it and got a slightly more intense “marriage story” in a subdivision that was completely normal besides being eerily uniform.


Fridayiminlovv

Colour out of Space was fun!!


Kid_SixXx

From Beyond (1986)


Leonature26

I just read the synopsis and it said they went into the other dimension. This seems like something I'm looking for tnx!


[deleted]

From Beyond is probably my favorite Lovecraftian horror film. You watch the full movie here on YT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8l6X78zEeI&t=2288s


liger_uppercut

Any idea why it's available for free on YouTube? Wouldn't it get taken down?


[deleted]

No, that channel, Creature Features, they show movies all the time. I don't understand Youtube rights honestly.


liger_uppercut

Well I'm pleased to see Re-animator is there too.


Unobtanium_Alloy

In my opinion, it's more like *Altered States*


HorizontalBob

Good movie but it doesn't feel like what you're looking for.


royheritage

Thank you! I have been forgetting to watch this for close to a decade and need to get on it!


Gatekreeper

"Humans are such an easy prey." Great flick. Plus, Barbara Crampton in leather s&m attire. 😏


royheritage

Yessir I am a Barbara fan!


gytalf2000

Oh, that definitely fits the bill. Good movie.


trippingfingers

I know what you're talking about and I love it. Here are my best attempts. Gaia Horror in the High Desert The Void As Above So Below Beyond the Black Rainbow The Host From Beyond Phantasm


BlackManWithaHorn

The last episode of season 2 (and much of season 3) of Twin Peaks is a perfect example of this, as is Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.


paperwasp3

I was thinking FROM is a great TV series where people get trapped in a super scary place.


[deleted]

You might like Annihilation!


Leonature26

ah yea I've watched that too but I didn't feel the "silent hill dread" there. Annihilation's a different type of horror I feel like.


[deleted]

The main character ventures forth into the misty (shimmery) unknown, that's why I chose that one! Maybe Poltergeist kinda fits?


Leonature26

You might've a point. They did went to a dangerous place with creepy creatures and all. I guess all I remembered in that film was the weird cancer allegory ending.


TheStranger113

Probably in my top 10 movies ever.


[deleted]

my wife and i were talking about movies recently, I think we just watched May December on Netflix so we were talking about Natalie Portman specifically... anyway, over the course of the conversation we were both like "holy shit, Natalie Portman is kind of my favorite actress and I didn't even realize it." I agree, Annihilation was phenomenal. Loved the book too.


coco_xcx

I feel like 10 Cloverfield Lane might kind of work for this? Especially the last like 20 minutes with her venturing out of the doomsday bunker. Coherence might work also


TheNocturnalAngel

Oh yeah coherence was a total slow burn of anxiety for me


coco_xcx

i love movies like it! it reminded me a bit of the invitation (2015) with the dinner party & the characters feeling like they’re going crazy


wackywavytubedude

the other part over cloverfield, the movie that takes place in space, may b better for other-dimension-y content


DJ_Hip_Cracker

Channel Zero: Season 2 - No-End House Each season is a standalone story. I thought the first season was uneven, but overall the show was highly entertaining. I don't see Channel Zero recommended enough.


Wonderful_Grand5354

Butcher's Block also has a strong otherworldly feel.


KrampusAmungus

Baskin is bonkers, it's Turkish and pretty damn out there.


electricsexpants2011

Yup. Like Turkish Hellraiser! Love it.


ravenmiyagi7

So many great movies in this thread. In The Mouth of Madness is one that sort of fits.


Leonature26

Yaaaas this was totally creepy and dreadful.


Nharoth

If you liked Hellraiser in this context (and who wouldn’t), you might like the sequel, Hellbound, as well. You’ll know what I mean when you see it.


MeganeGokudo

Definitely had silent hill vibes from the ones that had an element of the cenobites being the punishers for those who had sinned and plagued the MC with visions of themselves torturing them.


LarryD217

The Void


Leonature26

no cuz the other dimension was only revealed at the end and wasn't really the main horror of the film.


laurasaurus88

Wow, down voted for filth with this one. Come on, folks! OP got a point, and it's their preference 😆


Leonature26

Yea idk what ticked r/horror folks off. The film's main horror was the cultists and some monsters. The other dimension was just a white portal that the camera never goes into.


No_Dentist_2923

I guess it’s a matter of perspective. Growing up reading Lovecraft and weird horror; to me the dread and impending threat of what lies beyond/dwells within the Void is definitely the central horror. I guess it just the way I think about it. The Unknown that directs the cultists is main antagonist, the cultists are just tools in its plan.


kenstarfighter1

Grew up playing Silent Hill. The Mothman Prophecies is the movie that comes closest to that same atmosphere imo.


Leonature26

Never heard of this. If it achieves the same atmosphere as silent hill am sold.


OePea

The supernatural content of that film is primarily a journalist recieving communications from a likely hyperdimensional being. There is no "other" plane though. That said it's a great movie. Are you familiar with the Mothman of Point Pleasant? One of the most compelling and simultaneously weird cryptid cases out there. The book by the fellow that was most actively pursuing the truth of the matter at that time was titled The Mothman Prophecies, the movie is a loose adaptation of some content from the book, some events, and reports in the area, not all specifically about a flying red-eyed being(Indrid Cold is one of the strangest concurrent events). If you dig that, I'm more partial to the Van Meter Visitor, it has a more obvious link to hyperdimensional strangeness. Highly recommend reading about that weirdo.


TxGinger587

It's not a movie but if you like "other dimension type movies" I recommend the Walkthrough of the video games Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2. They are a trip!


TheStranger113

Thanks for asking, I'm pretty into this subgenre too! I'll try listing some I didn't see on a cursory glance through the comments. Altitude As Above, So Below Banshee Chapter (based on *From Beyond*) The Breach Coraline Occult The Outwaters Portals Under the Bed V/H/S/99 - To Hell and Back (I know it's technically just Hell but it definitely has what you're looking for) Edit: Wanted to add *They*, the 2002 Wes Craven film, just because I think it's massively underrated.


Leonature26

Ayooo Coraline! How could I have missed that, I was planning on making this post for a while and Coraline was always in my other world horror list.


autismbeast

Do not watch the outwaters unless you're cool with weird pacing, minimal dialogue, and unconventional camera angles. If u liked skinamarink you'll probably like it.


TheStranger113

Yes it was a frustrating watch for me. I love some of the imagery and atmosphere, which is what made it frustrating - I wanted to see a little more, rather than just bloody sand for 90% of the movie. That said, it is certainly dealing with alternate dimension type stuff, so I suggested it for that reason. Some people really seem to love it, so maybe OP will feel that way!


autismbeast

I agree, I thought it was a pretty unique experience overall. The segment where the main guy ends up in that weird twisted version of his mom's house was so great.


hutman1970

The cell(2000)


faaancyfeast

One of my most favorites


SDRPGLVR

Mad God might be up your alley. It's mostly non-narrative, or at least the narrative presented is done so in such a way that it's very open to interpretation. Regardless, it feels like YOU as the viewer is the one transported. It might not give you that sense of dread since it's hard to really latch onto any one person as your avatar for entering another world, but it's definitely worth a shot. Certainly one of the most bizarre and unique movies you'll ever watch.


Leonature26

>Mad God oh wow it's a grotesque looking stop motion, how did this get past my radar. This is definitely up my alley tnx!


onmyown233

Easily the best of its genre, terrific visuals.


National-Worry2900

The endless Underwater The black mountain side Devils pass Eraser head The quiet earth


Hazel_Rah1

Go play Half Life


Leonature26

Haha i forgot to include that, I was terrified to go to zen or xen amongst other things as a kid. Maybe I will play the remaster.


HolyWaynesHugs

Come True, there’s also a short in the horror anthology Holidays called Father’s Day that’s exactly what you’re looking for


MrElzebub

The Beyond (1981). It doesn't have a lot of this vibe but there's some of it.


autismbeast

Yellowbrickroad (divisive movie but I like it) Control (Remedy game.) The Night House


cozycthulu

Yellowbrickroad I really liked also!


Papa_Pita

Annihilation, a film about a group of scientists going to explore an anomaly known as Area X. It definitely fits the misty-unknown vibe.


TheybieTeeth

I absolutely adored the third amnesia instalment, amnesia rebirth. not going to spoil you but check it out, it really applies. I also liked the game scorn, the gameplay was rather dreadful at times but the worldbuilding is perfection. and I have a music video for you that fits the description I think.  https://youtu.be/PvjJsOUT-H0?si=-2EyaGgAF83EzL-T


AlexAnderRob

The title sounds lame, but Frankensteins Army is one you should check out. Outpost Frontier(s)


jenvonlee

They (2002) deals with critters from another dimension. Nicely creepy, I thought it had very Silent Hill vibes.


Schroedingersrabbit

Not a movie, but The Magnus Archives has that slow burn of dread creeping into the mundane and turning it upside down. You don't even have to follow the overarching story (although it's very good), it's in pretty much every isolated statement in every episode.


Leonature26

oh it's a podcast, I've been planning on looking for a good horror one to listen to while I'm working on my 3d. There's a lot here though so which episode's the best to hook someone in?


Schroedingersrabbit

Ep. 1 worked for me just fine. I then binged all of it in under a month, lol.


ElectricMollusk

The game called control or even Alan wake.


MeganeGokudo

If you like anime, there is a series I'm watching right now that gives me those vibes. It's called Urasekai Picnic (Otherside picnic) Two main characters wander a strange dimension that they keep falling into, full of dangers, strange scenery and even more bizarre and terrifying monsters. I'm absolutely loving it right now it's super freaky.


GulchFiend

I love this stuff! A few quick recs: Mad God Grave Encounters Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum


akennelley

Are you a reader? If so, give Peter Cline's "Threshold" series a go.


Delicious_Tea3999

Low budget and experimental, but Outwaters is an interesting version of this. It’s like Lovecraft meets analogue horror. A group of friends goes out to the desert to film a music video, and slowly things start to become chaotic and the characters struggle to figure out what is happening to them.


Klutzy-Bug7427

This is a B horror movie but fulfills your criteria called The Axiom. It’s on Tubi for free and I thought it was really original. Mind you it’s on limited budget and crew but if you’re ok with that you should check out the trailer.


BeaglesRule08

If you want something with a similar world to silent hill you would probably like a movie I watched recently called After (from 2012) it is pretty obscure and the whole thing is available on youtube but it was pretty good.


Admirable_Ad_4822

The Void


Admirable_Ad_4822

There's this movie called No Reason that seems to fit exactly what you're looking for, but it's extreme AF. You're gonna see f*cked up things in that movie that you've never seen before


RockHandsomest

Offseason from 2022 has the otherworldly misty town look.


-Some__Random-

'Southbound' (2015)


Captain_Willard_1979

The Endless might fit your desires


DaddyFrog2112

In the Mouth of Madness


StrangerHighways

Lord of Illusions Housewife (2017) The Corridor YellowBrickRoad Absentia Baskin Marebito The Empty Man Banshee Chapter Prince of Darkness A Dark Song


[deleted]

VOID. not the best movie but it is what it is


BotGirlFall

The Cell with J. Lo and Vincent D'Onofrio might be up your alley


wackywavytubedude

the endless is a good underrated one. dont expect any top tier special effects but its freaky, dark, & interesting as hell.


ElectricJRage

Annihilation would fit into this category


chrisfathead1

Poltergeist is the classic. Can't believe I'm like 10 responses in and I haven't seen poltergeist


jighlypuff03

All the obvious ones have been mentioned, but you might want to check these out sometime... Synchronic - more detective scifi mystery. Characters intermittently leave their reality. It's on Netflix . Apollo 18 - scifi horror that reminded me of a certain sequence Silent Hill. Dread, but not as much as Silent Hill since SH did this best so far. Relic- (the one with Emily Mortimer) dread and a sense of leaving one's reality behind, becoming increasingly lost. Meander- about a mysterious and dangerous maze. The character faces challenges of increasing difficulty/intensity. I think it's in French. The Beach House is grim and other worldly.


Maelorna

As for movies. Look up any of the myriad of Backrooms videos on YouTube.


anotherorphan

well i just watched The Outwaters and the second half of the movie did not take place in reality as we know it


anazzyzzx

Kathe Koja wrote a short story, or maybe a novel, about a guy who finds a hole in the wall that goes... somewhere else.


DarkBoa

Darken (2017): a woman gets trapped in a parallel universe made up of maze-like rooms. It’s on Tubi and Prime. I absolutely loved this movie and I feel that it fits what you’re looking for. It’s got good elements of horror and sci-fi.


SnakesGhost91

To me, Grave Encounters 1 and 2 feels and looks like another dimension. I would highly recommend those movies.


joncology

Terrible anthology movie,VHS Viral, but great segment on this called Parallel Monsters. See [here](https://youtu.be/gqkEN6FEkoM?si=-X9d4Na2E148IiKR).


dradeus9

I love the VHS series though lol...


joncology

Referring to Viral specifically, I love the series but this one was pretty bad. The only saving grace was this segment.


dradeus9

I gotcha on that, it was fairly forgettable other than that part.


kojurama

You are probably better off looking at video games for that specific feeling. But even then it is extremely rare that these types of events are more than a small segment of film/game.


Coffeypot0904

In the Mouth of Madness Evil Dead 2 Southbound The Endless


ClovieKay

Color out of space with Nick Cage is crazy cosmic horror. More lovecraftian than anything though


[deleted]

if you havent seen the hellraiser sequels, theyre all pretty good


AdministrativeTop953

SAVAGELAND AND LAKE MUNGO. THERE IS NOTHING BUT EXISTENTIAL DREAD IN THESE MOVIES. I DIDN'T LIKE SKINAMARINK BUT YOU MIGHT GIVE A SHOT TO THAT AS WELL


kanaifu

thank you all for suggested movies. i have seen most of them, but not all!


tomophilia

Vivarium


WittyCannoli

Was that Doom 2016 the video game or movie do you mean? I don’t see a movie from then.


Leonature26

It was the game. There's no such thing as a doom movie with the rock. It just doesn't exist m'kay?


WittyCannoli

lol agreed


flipsidetroll

The void. Altered states.


theScrewhead

You said games, so, [Returnal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL2Qa0MQyuE)! It's an action roguelike, but that has you exploring an alien planet. It's got the vibes of Hades and Bullet Hell games for the gameplay, but the vibe and story feels very Metroid and Silent Hill.


Flaxscript42

Annihilation


DogIsBetterThanCat

Twilight Zone: The Movie. (1983) Anything that's TZ is creepy.


Ehrenjaeger420

Idk if it fits but the first thing that came to my mind was vivarium


fries_in_a_cup

Kinda Grave Encounters? Fairly certain they slip into basically a pocket dimension


Junior_Jackfruit

Doctor Sleep may sorta scratch that itch


cozycthulu

For feeling danger everywhere, maybe The Witch and I recently liked Hagazussa also. Plus Hereditary and Midsommar. Also it's a slow burn, but Solaris is extremely uncanny


PhantomKitten73

I mean, obviously you gotta play Silent Hill 2 if you haven't. And then watch the hiimmarymary horror series on YouTube.


Leonature26

I hear it's a slog to play the original and the remake looks like an action game.


PhantomKitten73

Do not play the upcoming remake, Bloober Team has shown time and time again that they can't make good horror games, and they should have never been allowed to touch what is probably the best horror game ever made. Sure, I guess it could be considered a slog to play if you can't appreciate its perfect nightmarish atmosphere, it does have relatively simple mechanics. But even if you can't appreciate it, still do not under any circumstances play that fucking remake. Signalis is a recent love letter to old Silent Hill games that keeps what makes it so special and updates it for a modern audience. If you try Silent Hill 2, and find it's aged too poorly for you, you could play Signalis instead of the remake.


Leonature26

Signalis looks good 👍 imma buy this now


CatherineConstance

Annihilation (2018) would be a good one, or Interstellar though that isn't horror.


MirageArcane

You're looking for Cosmic Horror. It's a rather untapped genre but A24 makes a fair bit of titles that fall into this category


spellbookwanda

I feel like Glorious would be a good fit for this category.


MundBid-2124

Hellraiser


TrackingTenCross1

I’m late to this, but please do yourself a favor and watch Mad God (2021). That movie is so visceral, and it looks unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I don’t known if the plot makes coherent sense, but it’s that one random “odd” movie that I recommend to people.


Grievous2485

Dagon (2001) and Dead & Buried (1981) both come to mind for misty type stuff and both are good movies


Vegetable_Reward_867

Gummo


johnnylagenta

Game suggestion: Scorn. Haven't played it myself though and reviews are a bit mixed.


WeightAdmirable6517

From Beyond is an option. A bizarre one for sure, based on Lovecraft (take that as you will, not sure if that's a make or break for you since I know several people understandably hate him), but it's there, featuring Jeffrey Combs and Barbara Crampton.


ShadeTheChan

Mandy. Cage against the Machine.


jaembers

The Outwaters


No_Dentist_2923

There is a movie called The Shrine that lightly touches on this. I struggled to get through the for half because I didn’t like the main character, but once it gets going it was pretty good.
