I have been on a scary movie adventure and would love other suggestions!

Midsommar is one of my favorites, or you could try It Follows if you haven’t seen either of those. Midsommar is a slow burn intrigue sort of thing, but quite realistic, most of the most horrifying things about it could happen to you for real.

It Follows is a very creative movie, very much about the fear of being chased by an entity that never stops, extremely interesting premise

Midsommar is great but I rank it a lot lower on my tier list after watching the original 70s Wicker Man

I feel like Hereditary and Midsommer have similar vibes for some reason even though the plots are not at all similar

Same director, probably what you’re feeling there is a sum of little touches. I liked the first half of Hereditary quite a bit, didn’t really like where it ended up, got too fantastical for my tastes, I like pulp horror too, but I really really like horror that’s plausible

I did not know they shared a director that’s interesting

This movie for me cemented Sam Neill’s acting range. From Dr. Grant with the dinosaurs…to this. This is also one of my favorite, if not THE favorite, sci-fi horror films of all time - which is kind of a tough genre to sell.

I love Event Horizon. I also love the theory that it takes place in the Warhammer 40k universe.

On the surface this comes across as SciFi, but it’s a true classic horror with a scifi backdrop. It’s essential watching for any horror genre fan, IMO.

If you haven’t already, check out the V/H/S/ series if you’re a fan of anthology films and/or found footage. It’s easily my favorite FF series. The newest film, V/H/S/ 1985 came out last week and is awesome, but you can’t go wrong with any of them (except maybe the third one).

I’d personally recommend VHS 1994 to start with because I think it’s the most accessible and least offensive entry in the franchise

There’s a few similar mini series like the ABCs of Death and Holidays. I think both feature a different team for each short which is an interesting premise

Just looked up 1999, looks like it was co-written and directed by Flying Lotus.

Will definitely have to check the series out!

The Void is great if you like campy lovecraftian stuff

You ever seen 1408? Great movie, it’s a Stephen King. I think I’m gonna rewatch that one tonight

I love when movies get multiple endings. Not a horror movie, but The Butterfly Effect is my favourite example of this.
