Hidden Gem Horror Movie Reccomendations

I have watched a metric ton of sometimes shit horror films. Here's some of the better ones most of which are free on streaming.

Here are some recent recs since :marseypumpking: is coming up:

  • Black Mountain Side: Some weird shit, reminds me of The Thing. Group of isolated station workers in the cold north of Canada dig up something.

  • Possessor: Premise is interesting and unique. If you like body horror you'll like this. The scene with Sean Bean is honestly disturbing. An assassin enters other people's minds to make them kill. I believe at one point a chick has a peepee.

  • Lord of Illusions: Clive Barker makes a noir horror film. The CG effects are hilariously dated (practical are great though) but the story is quite original and it has a great old horror movie feel. A stage magician hires a detective.

  • Come True: Weaker story but great cinematography and pretty cool effects. A woman joins a sleep study and has difficulty distinguishing dream from reality.

  • The Wailing (Korean): Probably not very hidden but worth mentioning because it is excellent. I'll say very little about it to not spoil anything.

  • From Beyond: One of the few "based on Lovecraft" movies that isn't shit. What happens when a machine to see another dimension also makes you horny and into S&M?

  • Southbound: An anthology of semi joined horror films. I enjoyed each entry and thought overall it was quite good.

  • Dead End: Ray Wise is excellent in everything. Again may not be particularly hidden. But an interesting story. Family takes a trip to inlaws for Christmas.

Few Stephen King recs:

  • Storm of the Century: Probably the best of the old Stephen King adaptations (sans Shining). Gets carried by acting and doesn't drag even though it's ~4.5 hrs.

  • Rose Red: A haunted house stories that King wrote directly for TV. I have never seen a movie that felt more like the "explore a haunted house" trope than this. It's also has a classic statue comes alive scene.

  • Riding the Bullet: Character study kind of deal. Not bad but not particularly "horror." Can't remember much else.

Argento recommendation:

  • Creepers/Phenomenon: It misses a ton of the bright cinematography of things like Inferno/Suspira but it has a somewhat more coherent story until the end just gets completely whacky. A monkey actually chopped off Jennifer Connelly's finger in this film. :marseymonke: :marseybackstab:

Gimme your recommendations.

Jennifer Connelly said in an interview that she was bitten by the chimp in this film. Apperently during one scene the chimp kept turning around and Dario Argento, not wanting to film her behind, asked Connelly to place her hand on the animal to stop her from turning. But when she attempted to do so, the chimp became enraged and bit her; and then became very hostile toward Connelly for the rest of the film.


Jennifer Connelly had part of her finger bitten off by the chimpanzee in the final scene at the end of the film. She was rushed to the hospital and the finger was re-attached.

Jesus Christ, I imagine as a low budget 80s film, that safety wasn't that safe but this fricking chimp kept escaping. Where were the animal handlers? They're lucky it didn't rip of Jennifer's face.
