Hereditary [2018]
Hereditary features a very well-thought-out story and incredible character development. This is not your usual jump-scare horror movie but a visceral and haunting tragedy with overwhelming black humor undertones.
The House of the Devil [2009]
Moody and atmospheric, The House of the Devil is a slow-burning horror with extremely strong eighties vibes. Written and directed by very talented Ti West, The House of the Devil is not a horror movie for everybody.

The Believers is a slow-burner following an investigation about a series of ritualistic murders of children in New York and a man who got too close to the case.

Devil [2010]
Highly effective in creating a tense atmosphere, Devil is a single-location psychological horror movie definitely worth watching.
Shelter AKA 6 Souls [2010]
Shelter AKA 6 Souls is a solid psychological thriller with strong occult themes elevated by excellent performances and creepy vibes.
Drive Angry [2011]
Unashamedly trashy and stylish, Drive Angry is a must-see for all fans of action, Nic Cage, and brainless but highly entertaining movies.

Set during an epidemic of the bubonic plague, Season of the Witch is an entertaining and visually formidable fantasy time-killer.
Town Creek AKA Blood Creek [2009]
