Recommend me some overlooked thrillers/horror movies

[madoka]

I think my favorite suspense films are Korean films like the Vengeance trillogy, Chaser, I saw the Devil, or Yellow Sea, or of course Hitchcock films (Rear Window, North by Northwest happen to be my personal faves)

Did you watch Mother? That seems up your alley if you're into those Korean movies.

Bug is awesome. Same director as Killer Joe and a similar, sort of play-like feel to it.

Mother is awesome too. One of my all time favourite Korean films.

The Republican National Convention? (I kid, I kid...)

My 10-minute list of Overlooked Horror (movies just off the top of my head)
----------------------------------------------------
- Let the Right One In
- Rare Exports
- (Oliver Reed two-fer) Burnt Offerings / The Brood
- May (2002)
- A Tale of Two Sisters (If you've seen and liked Ringu)
- The Beyond (if you liked Suspiria)
- Session 9
- The Devil's Backbone


- The Stuff (more fun than horror)

 

[MaxDepth]

Also, Space 1999 (tv show), Season 1, Episode 23: "Dragon's Domain"
This scared the crap out of me when I watched it as a kid.

Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzx_yqU1ZGw

Frailty

Fraily is also good.

Based on that I thought Bill Paxton might direct more movies. I guess he only had that one directoral effort to get off of his chest.

In the Mouth of Madness.

Also, Fallen isn't a "horror".

In the Mouth of Madness.

Amazing! My second favourite JC film after The Thing.

[Pardus]

Teeth 2007

Teeth 2007

Bahaha

This movie is kinda terrible but the premise alone makes it worth watching.

I would recommend.

 

[KeithTalent]

Splinter is a pretty rad little horror flick.

Creep

A lot of awkward weirdness with a good payoff at the end. Everyone I've had watch this movie thought it was great.

A New Zealand style (is that a thing?) dark comedy. I thought it was a great watch but I've never found anyone else who has seen it.

In the Mouth of Madness.

No...but its a pretty damn good thriller.

 

[SAWYER]

I mean thrillers or horror not necessarily a mix of the two

 

[TwiceOver]

Thriller: The Game

You've probably seen it though.

 

[IBMJunkman]

Wait Until Dark 1967
Audrey Hepburn
Alan Arkin
Richard Crena
Efram Zimbalist Jr

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062467/

Available on Amazon Video

Make sure your TV can handle dark scenes

 

[TwiceOver]

Oops. Mobile double penni.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Frailty and The Gift are both really good.

I'm also going to recommend The Ninth Gate. It could have been better as it does go a little flat towards the end but I do still enjoy watching it from time to time. Johnny Depp is the lead.

 

[Skeeedunt]

This thread is good. Kill List is one of my all time favorites. I'll be back, but for now I'll offer up:

Cigarette Burns (under an hour and pretty bizarre)
The Wicker Man (1973) (may or may not be overlooked, don't fall for the new one it's super terrible)

 

[Cappuccino]

human centipede very cute film

I watched this a year ago. I dug it. Really enjoyed the lead girl; thought she was very good.

I came to post this.

So did I, people always look at me like they never heard of it. Sam Neill is great.

 

[biostud]

Remember to come back and tell which movies you chose...

 

[ImpulsE69]

Splinter is a pretty rad little horror flick.

KT

One of my all time favorites.

Probably a bit too gory for you but this one is really good:

The Loved Ones.
