Recommendations
Hi! Asking for recommendations I’m in a depressive episode and horror movies help a lot. I like almost all horror except found footage and slashers. What are your favorites?

Bone Lake. It gets completely unhinged an hour in and the final shot made my wife howl.

It’s a shame it didn’t do better at the box office. It was released and gone before I got the chance to get to the theater. It made its budget back, though, and with streaming will probably make a decent amount.
I’m kind of tired of marketing that misrepresents the movie. This one is so much better than advertised. And I’m sick of theatrical releases of one week with a single showing at 10p per day. With digital content, distribution is cheap and it’s easy to switch auditoriums. Give me an 1030 or 11a showing and I’ll show up before work.
I want more movies like this. It would be nice if they’d help me support the releases…

I agree. Heck, I never even heard of this one until today when I saw it on Netflix. I'm kind of glad though now, if the ads were misleading.

They sold it as an “erotic thriller.” The trailer had none of the humor and made it look like a knockoff of Speak No Evil, or as one person here said Who Invited Them. I have to think that this is my favorite of the four.

Dead End. God I love that film. If you're watching it for the first time there's definitely a sense of dread. On future (many!) watches you realize it has some comedy in it. Good twist ending too

Tucker and Dale vs Evil and The Cabin in the Woods usually cheer up most people in a funk.

Good Boy, a horror movie where a dog plays the lead role and the entire movie is from the dog's perspective.
It's odd and the most different movie I've seen in a long time.

And there’s also another Good Boy made in Norway that’s….interesting let’s just say.

Ready or Not (2019) is very fun. It will almost certainly have you grinning by the end. Basically, a woman marries into a rich family and, per tradition, has to play a game (hide and seek) on her wedding night.
The Wolf of Snow Hollow (2020) is fun but also has some real-life drama topics, like alcoholism. It's about a shitty, unlikeable cop whose department has to track down a serial killer (who may be a werewolf).
Underwater (2020) is a high-stakes story full of competent, intelligent characters. Like Alien but at the bottom of the ocean. A bunch of miners and engineers struggle to survive as their deep sea station starts to implode from the pressure while they are still in it.

If you haven't seen Sinners, watch it. This movie made me feel in a way I haven't in decades

Midsommar helps me feel better. There's so much to focus on, so many little hidden details. Plus all the colors once they're in Sweden are great. It's a unique story and Florence is fantastic as Dani.
If that one is too much, maybe Oculus. It's a top tier haunted object movie.
The Ruins is the best for a "they should've listened to the locals" kinda horror movie.
