Stumbled upon this one while looking for a new Western to watch 😳

While that movie is overall wild, the little ambush that happens to some of the main characters towards the end (when they’re entering the valley that has the caves) is always hilarious to me. Something about the silence and timing when they’re hiding behind a bush, and then a rock just soars into the frame and clocks one of them in the head lmao.

Is this movie in Spanish? I found it on prime and the trailer is in English but when the movie plays it’s all in Spanish

PraiseThePun81 t1_j5tfbpb wrote

If I recall correctly (And someone let me know if I'm wrong) Rec was a Spanish movie with English Subtitles?

I think there was a Hollywood Remake done in English that didn't fare as well, but again I could be misremembering.

WordsWithSam t1_j5u5gav wrote

There was an English language remake called Quarantine that is essentially a shot for shot remake up until the end. It’s fine but if you’ve seen Rec it doesn’t compare.

Rec and Rec 2 are a great continuously-shot, 1-2 punch.

If I could combine Rec with Quarentine's ending, that would be the perfect movie. That firefighter punching the zombie in the face chef's kiss

Come and See, maybe. Not made as a horror, but disturbing in its own way.

LoginLord t1_j5ujsg0 wrote

Many horror films don't stay with me because I can often displace the fear by recognizing it as fiction. But Come and See feels much too real with the inhumanity portrayed. It's gruesome and disturbing because if you know anything about the atrocities committed by the Nazis none of the content of the movie is far removed from reality.

>!And even though the ending for that movie was not scary in content I still can feel the dread watching the main character disappear into that sea of men who participate in that cycle of life and death called war.!<

>!Never could I have known that Lacrimosa could sound so haunting before watching that film.!<

I don’t know if you have watched Yellowstone the tv show but Kelly Reilly stars in this movie.

I found Wolf Creek also a movie that I’ll never forget.

I think because it was a true story.

We tried to have our 16 year old daughter watch that Evil Dead with us one halloween. She hid under a blanket for the first 15 minutes then said “The sounds… I can’t do this. Every noise is scary.” Then left the room. We love that movie. Excited for Rise.

“The sounds…I can’t do this” sounds like a quote from the movie itself 😆 They should also use it in their promotion of the movie/s

Heck yeah. What’s also great is her teeth chatter when she gets scared. So they could drop that sound in too. She’s a mess.

Squeekazu t1_j5tgv9s wrote

It Comes At Night was pretty harrowing. Loads of people didn't like it due to the total bait and switch of the trailer (made it look like a monster/zombie movie when it isn't), but I didn't feel like I was duped into a bad movie, and I actually really like media with a cabin fever element.

I’ve seen Bone Tomahawk thrown out there but let’s give some love to the father: The Proposition. It’s so gritty and raw you can feel the sweat dripping off the characters, and the plot is just downright dark. It’s got some disturbing sequences and so I would absolutely put it in the realm of horror, but it’s a wonderful dark western too. Guy Pearce is amazing. It’s available in high quality in full on YouTube - definitely check it out.

Wake in fright(1971). It's just pure sun drenched madness. Wish I could also recommend sorcerer (1977) but it's more of an action thriller.

If you feel don't like being underground. I found it difficult to watch. The idea of them getting trapped. The rest of it was like ok. But just the being underground in tight spaces is like no no no.

I also think sinister is one of the most uncomfortable movies to watch if it pulls you in.

It rated by a lot of people as one of the most frightening horror movies.

_DeanRiding t1_j5t8sxv wrote

A recent one from last year is Barbarian. Others have already mentioned Midsommar which is great.

I don't know about 'gritty/raw', but The Invisible Man from 2020 was incredibly unsettling, especially if you're a woman.

LedByAnimals t1_j5tp27x wrote

Bodies Bodies Bodies... I recommend not watching the trailer and not giving up on it. It's weird and cringey on purpose and is satirical. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it for a week. I would also recommend: RAW. It's French, so if you can get past that you'll definitely be in for a ride.

iamstephano t1_j5xkcch wrote

Bodies Bodies Bodies is not something I would describe as "raw and visceral" tbh, it's more of a dark comedy/satire than horror.

LedByAnimals t1_j5y3s8k wrote

In some ways it is. Not particularly gory but so messed up. It also stuck with me which is part of the inquiry. I will agree about the genre for sure though.

SasquatchRobo t1_j5uoj22 wrote

Audition (1999).

If you were to map out rising tension on a graph, most horror films will have peaks and valleys of tension. For example, a jump scare will show up as a sharp "peak," followed by a release of tension, a "valley" -- "it was just the wind/cat/doorbell/neighbor." Films will do this several times over the course of playtime, ramping up the tension each time, with small releases of tension until the final act where the killer is chasing the protagonist with a bloody crowbar or whatever.

Audition does not do this.

The entire film is a slow build in tension, never giving you a break, leading up to some really choice body horror. It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles. Maybe not the best horror film in the world, but truly a singular experience.

Green room. That movie stuck with me for a looong time. It’s so scary because it’s so real. Plus you get to see Patrick Stewart with a hell of a performance as a terrifying neo-nazi.

Funny Games - Not necessarily visceral outside of a couple scenes but damn is it disturbing

The Poughkeepsie Tapes - pseudo-documentary full of disturbing subject matter

Martyrs - gritty, disturbing, and gruesome

Mother!

It fucked me up for a while. It’s psychological and then gory. EXTREMELY DISTURBING… I still get physically sick thinking about the movie. I’ve seen most movies people have listed here, and the only one that comes close to it is ‘Midsommer’.

John Hyams does a great job of this. Alone and Sick are both very standard premises - slasher movie and serial killer movie respectively. But the way he frames action and movement really plunge you into the tension and brutality of what’s happening on screen.

The same can also be said for Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, which sneaks an absolutely unflinching and brutal horror movie into an action movie shell.

The hills have eyes screwed with me. So did deliverance, but I've got a particular fear of these types of isolated family things, mostly because I've met a family like that. If you want a single episode, the X files episode "home" is that fear condensed into like 45 minutes or whatever an episode runs for that show.

Insidious. I don’t think it was necessarily overly disturbing but that first one really didn’t go where I thought. And the idea that an innocent child could fall victim because of their dreams and that the father, a skeptic, was the only one who could save them. Hit me on a bunch of levels
