It's not technically a horror movie, but The Mothman Prophecies creeped the everliving gently caress out of me.

"My name is Indrid Cold."

japan makes horror movies like this + tetsuo the iron man and yet j-horror is most widely known for its relatively pedestrian "ghost scares woman" films

an unjust world

it's because the ring was genuinely a good movie and it was the first one to get wide distribution by american video companies

well, not the first, because guinea pig exists haha

Horror or not, I've never been so scared of a movie since this one. I'm not sure what it is about that movie, but it still freaks me out when I think about it. It has just the right combination of weird, unexplained poo poo, and momentary flashes of "wtf was that?" that just kept me feeling uneasy.

Does anyone have suggestions of movies like this?

i would recommend the films of david lynch

i don't know if you were being sarcastic or not but it reminded me of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which was pretty creepy and the fact that it was so old and all the actors are dead added to it i thought

i'm not joking nosferatu is one of the best films i've ever seen in my life

lonesomedwarf posted:

after looking it up apparently there's a remake of it, has anyone seen that

are u talking about nosferatu or caligari

bc yes, herzog's nosferatu the vampyre is a great film

i meant the cabinet of dr caligari.

i had a version of nosferatu with an "industrial soundtrack by [someone]" it might have been type 0 negative or something. anyway i dont have that version any more and it's a great movie.

that version is not as good as the kino version with score by donald sosin

did the version you watch have tinted frames? the good version of nosferatu has the original colored frames

it has tinted frames, but i have no idea if they're the original ones or not. i picked it up from one of those really cheap stores for many $5. the score is by Clive Lendich

it has to be original bc the celluloid had to be hand tinted

iirc, all versions of nosferatu come from a few found in a collection in buenos aires

white zombie is also a great movie, made right after dracula and starring bela lugosi

it's a lot slower paced and hypnotic than dracula and uses a lot of the set from it

really good and leaves you with a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach

but yeah i also like horror that's set on a big spooky space ship

there's an alien ripoff called dark side of the moon that i enjoyed a whole lot

it's not really an alien ripoff but if i tell u how they diverge it would be spoilers

actually, Indrid Cold and other beings like him DO exist if you believe in samoan/pacific islander type shamanism. yeah yeah i know goons don't believe in the supernatural whatever, but anyone who is interested in the Mothman Prophecies should pick up a book called Spiritwalker for more of the same

indrid cold, if u actually know mothman lore, was an alien that gave a man special knowledge about the mothman

i don't think the samoans had aliens
