For anyone who wants to watch a horror film that isn’t really traditional jump scare horror, here are a few recommendations from me to you.
Category: Film Lists
So someone asked me the other day for some British film recommendations, and I gave them these titles, so thought I would make a post out of it.
I am sure most people would have watched these horror comedies before, but if you haven’t, time to sort that out.
Our lifes are full of regrets, so why not watch some Western films that are full of them, because why not?
Found footage horror is a genre that strips away the artifice. It’s messy, very messy at times, but it gives you a different sense of terrifying because it all feels like it could be real.
I will start by saying, none of these films I have listed below are so obscure that no-one has ever heard of them. Hell, a couple of them have even been widely acclaimed in the indie world. But I do think they are hidden gems. I barely see them mentioned on sites, or when discussing films with people, and most of them don’t have too many IMDB reviews either.
I love horror films/shows, and have been watching horror for 30 odd years, and I am sure many will say I am a wuss, but these jump scare attempts got me good when I first watched them.
Go on, make fun of me.
Horror: the genre that taught us it’s totally normal to run towards the noise in the basement. But horror isn’t just one big lumbering monster. It’s a Frankenstein’s creature of sub genres.
