John Carpenter’s Apocalypse trilogy (The Thing, Prince of Darkness, In the Mouth of Madness) - Some of my favorites. Has that 80s horror movie style with damn near perfect execution.
Re-Animator (the first one) - Also an 80s classic. Loosely based off the Lovecraft story.
Color out of Space (with Nicolas Cage) - Modernized adaptation of the Lovecraft story. Done quite well. Gorgeous visuals
Mandy - Super trippy horror movie, also with Nicolas Cage
Silent Hill (2006) - Games are way better than the movie and the movie’s story doesn’t follow the games at all, but it has a good atmosphere. This movie got me into the games to begin with.
Jacob’s Ladder - A fantastic, vibey movie that leaves you guessing what’s going to happen next.
Annihilation - One of my favorites.
Red State - A fantastic horror movie directed by the most unlikely of people (Kevin Smith)
The Mist (2007) - Steven King adaptation directed by Frank Darapont. Need I say more?
Se7en - A classic
Oculus - No relation to the VR company. Great movie with a great story.
Funny Games - The definition of fucked up. This is the only movie that made me feel angry after watching it. It’s amazing.
One Hour Photo - The only horror movie I was unable to finish due to Robin William’s excellent performance.
I Saw the Devil - An excellent revenge plot. Gory to all hell.
Tucker and Dale vs Evil - Horror comedy. Fantastic
Shawn of the Dead - Same as above
Cabin in the Woods - Mix between a horror comedy and an actual horror movie.
Troll 2 - If you like “so bad, it’s good” movies, check this one out.
Did you read the series Annihilation? Curious what you thought about the books vs the movie.
Oddly, I liked the movie better. Books were a bit too abstract(?) for me

Holy crap what a list! I gotta see a few of them. Some I’ve already seen but thanks for such a great list of movies 🥰
I didn’t put them in any particular order. They’re all good in their own way.
Highly recommend Thing and Red State.
Red State is legit terrifying.
Gonna throw Aliens in the mix. Great atmosphere, classic 80s one-liners. Truly an iconic movie.
