I watched The Watchers recently. It was maybe worth a viewing but I wouldn't watch it again.

jaws is so fucking overrated. it's interesting for like 2 minutes of its runtime. the thing's pacing also sucks like all john carpenter films

idk i guess suspiria (1977) if that's sufficiently obscure

snakes on a plane

 

[dropdatwat]

also thanksgiving (2023) is decent

 

[Dildo Baggins]

Antichrist (2009)

The Lighthouse (2019)

And of course the classic
Night of the Living Dead (1968)

suspiria is always a good recommend too

Antichrist (2009)

The Lighthouse (2019)

And of course the classic
Night of the Living Dead (1968)

This was a favorite of some director and frankly I've never heard of it. I guess it's supposed to be some hybrid of comedy instead of a full blown horror movie.
An American Werewolf in London

that movie sucks. the only good thing about it is that it inspired a kino jackass skit

Rare Exports

Not so much horror except maybe for kids, and probably a subset of Americans who seem extremely adverse to subtitles. Based on the Rare Exports Inc short films.

Låt den rätte komma in (Remade into: Let Me In)
Swedish vampire flick. Enjoyable. Remake didn't bring anything substantial to the table

Død Snø / Dead Snow
Dead frozen Nazi corpses left over from the war rise as zombies in remote Finnmark.
Cheesy movie made on a shoestring budget.

4. midsommar
duh

I really disliked that movie. The script was lame, the acting was awful, and the directing was very amateurish.

I saw this one a couple of years ago and it just looked really cold….as if it would’ve been unpleasant for the actors.

Ravenous (1999) ⭐ 6.9 | Adventure, Drama, Horror

1h 41m | R

the practical effects during the werewolf change are what make that movie, tbh. it's quality n makes turning look painful

ravenous is good

I'm going to go off the board here with more of an uncomfortable drama rather than a horror movie with Kids (1995). Definitely worth a watch if you haven't watched it before.

I should rewatch The Mist. Ending hit like a ton of rabid hedgehogs, so somebody made it a bit more cheery.

Movie improved on the book ending so much though.
The novelette is alright, despite the prose being a bit of a chore, but the ending just fizzles like a damp squib.

I've seen it, and it's so bad it's good
It even has a sequel.

Would reccomend for a cheesy movie night.
