Also, one of the creepiest/disturbing horrors from 1990, on youtube in it's entirety is Begotten. I wouldn't call it great, just rather sickening/disturbing/creepy.

I was thinking the same thing for Se7en. I was just voting for the movies I liked, haha. OopsNot to be a stickler, but y'all would consider The Silence of the Lambs as a horror film? I see it more as a psychological thriller/cop flick than anything else...

Forgot about that film... I really didn't like it, once you're passed the interesting visuals, there's nothing much left. If you're into weird stuff, try Mecanix, a little less weird, but a lot more interesting IMO:
I didn't like it either, but honestly, the whole porch sperm-cutting-birth scene is extremely unsettling. Goes down as one of the more disturbing "movies" in horror history. I think it could have been better of there were words and a story that was more apparent. Otherwise it was mostly an artistic/stylish piece. I'm surprised it's in its entirety on youtube.
I haven't heard of Mecanix. Interesting, will have to check it out - thx!
Even though I mentioned the Guinea Pig films, I stayed away from what I thought were the most disturbing films I've seen, I'm not sure they deserve the publicity.
Yeah, I've delved pretty much into the depths of horror. Almost anything as long as it meets its objective has some merit. But not sure I'd own everything, nor do I enjoy everything, and lastly I certainly don't promote everything. Some of the crappy latter Nightmare On Elm Street movies (5-7 for example though I'd have to rewatch to condemn them individually) are equally garbage or worse IMO. Same goes for some widely regarded comedies which I'm thinking of ridding my library of just because overall they suck no matter their recognition.
Here I'm about ready to post and ask if Seven is really a horror film and then I go and vote for The Silence of the Lambs, which I also wouldn't call a horror film.
I like the 7th Elm Street film a lot. 5 & 6 are indeed terrible. And 2-3-4 ain't that good either.
Maybe that gives some credence to the cultural impact of Scream that it breathed life into a comatose genre.It's a weird decade for horror, not a lot of the films listed are true horror films.
..I just keep looking at the list and feeling a collective meh.
Death Machine? Needful Things? Shame shame.
Btw, Candyman is the answer. And waiting to see if Jordan Peele ****s up its revival.

You want me to add one of these awful films so you can vote for it? (I'll do it)
You have Scream, a teen slasher flick (what? Couldnt also recall I Know What You Did Last Summer?), yet scoff at Death Machine? Based on your inconsistent criteria, where's The Burbs?
