I watched Possession(1981) for the first time last night and holy heck was that a mindf*ck of a trip. I had heard great things about it and how it had a cult following but I went in blind otherwise. Loved almost everything about it, very surreal and the film itself contorts to things I can’t even describe by the end - solid 8/10

I also viewed Jacob’s Ladder(1990) last week and that was a wild ride as well!

Anyone have any personal favs or recommendations? I’m not a horror fan by default but just trying to watch some gems I’ve missed during the spooky season 🎃

Pi kinda messed me up similar to Jacob’s Ladder 😅😀 worth a watch, imo.

Pi (stylized as π) is a 1998 American conceptual psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky (in his feature directorial debut). Pi was filmed on high-contrast black-and-white reversal film. The title refers to the mathematical constant pi.

The story focuses on a mathematician with an obsession to find underlying complete order in the real world and contrasting two seemingly irreconcilable entities: the imperfect irrationality of humanity and the rigor and regularity of mathematics, specifically number theory. The film explores themes of religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics.

Big fan of The Mist (which is more cosmic than psychological horror, but with the cultish aspect, i feel it still fits), and Cube.

The Cube movies are some of my favorites of all time. The ending of Cube Zero blows my mind every time.

A semi recent movie in this vein I liked a lot is Possessor.

Oh wow I forgot about this one and was randomly trying to think of it the other day. I remember it being pretty good but also a little meh. Maybe had some better expectations but I can hardly remember the film. Might be worth another revisit. Thanks for the rec

Some of them are definitely more body-horror focused, but his father (David Cronenburg) has some good ones. Crimes of the future comes to mind for a more recent one.

Also infinity pool by Brandon was also worth watching.

Edit: Currently watching "smile" it's pretty good, would recommend (unless the last 30 mins suck, that's where I'm currently at).
