Need spooky films for the spooky season.
I am generally not a fan of the horror genre but I have enjoyed Get Out, Event Horizon, Funny Games (US) and the first Insidious

Do you have any other qualifiers? Does it need to be on a particular streaming service? Are international or black and white films okay?

No streaming service restrictions. I am kinda opposed to both foreign and black and white. I liked One Cut of the Dead a lot but that's about the bar of objective quality it needs to clear for me to read subtitles.
I'm not sure if I disliked the Lighthouse because it was B&W, but that's another reference point I suppose. I don't believe that movie makes sense.
I like something about Jordan Peele for sure. I wanted to like Us, but didn't. I think Candyman looks dope.
Other decent spooks IMO:
Pandorum, The Descent

I'm not a huge horror guy but I really liked The Ritual.

That was okay. Next up is Jacob's Ladder since it has come up twice.

I bought a new TV for the first time in ~11 years and I splurged to get a CX. What's the best 4K/HDR movie to baptize the new and holy OLED? I have access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO with a pretty nice internet connection, so I should be able to have a quality streaming picture. I was thinking about picking a random episode of The Expanse because I know the space scenes in that are supposed to look really great in 4K, but a full movie is probably the proper way to do it.

I still remember that my very first HD/BluRay I ever saw was How To Train Your Dragon on my neighbor's TV. I'd like my 4K first time to be memorable too. :biglips:

Looking for some gritty spy movies with some verisimilitude ala Haywire and Ronin.

The John le Carré adaptations tend to be pretty low-key and grounded. I very much enjoyed Philip Seymour Hoffman's last movie, A Most Wanted Man. The Tailor of Panama is good as well. Note, you're not going to get action the way you will with the two you mentioned, though.

I probably won't miss the action scenes. I'm just trying to find some accompaniment to my playthrough of Phantom Doctrine.

Look (2007) is premised that every camera in it is a security camera and is maybe too voyeuristic.
