just another list of decent weird horror flicks
this is not about the old big ones. it isn't either about the modern stuff every primary schooler knows and talks about. it's about the a little cheesy, oddly scaring and uncanny flicks that leave you less horrified than with a huge "wtf?" in your throat.
i ignored the hammer films on purpose because pretty much everyone interested in that kind knows or will easily find them.
enjoy.

- DirectorJacques TourneurStarsFrances DeeTom ConwayJames EllisonA nurse is hired to care for the wife of a sugar plantation owner, who has been acting strangely, on a Caribbean island.admitted, this is as classic as voodoo horror can be. still an amazingly psychedelic trip. the lighting is out of comparison
- DirectorIngmar BergmanStarsMax von SydowGunnar BjörnstrandBengt EkerotA knight returning to Sweden after the Crusades seeks answers about life, death, and the existence of God as he plays chess against the Grim Reaper during the Black Plague.by far the best bergman production. less horror than drama but rather stunning, and it leaves you with an uneasy feeling in front of the screen
- DirectorRobert YoungStarsAdrienne CorriThorley WaltersAnthony HigginsAs the plague sweeps the countryside, a quarantined village is visited by a mysterious traveling circus. Soon, young children begin to disappear, and the locals suspect the circus troupe might be hiding a horrifying secret.why not put the whole plot into the title?! still a decent vampire film

- DirectorTerence FisherStarsChristopher LeeCharles GrayNike ArrighiDevil worshipers plan to convert two new victims.Sir Chr. Lee in one of his better roles. classic late 60ies occult horror

- DirectorFred DekkerStarsJason LivelyTom AtkinsSteve MarshallAlien brain parasites, entering humans through the mouth, turn their host into a killing zombie. Some teenagers start to fight against them.possibly not that unknown, but it had to be here. great setting, great acting and a well-done creepy/comedy hybrid. 80s as 80s can get
- DirectorBen WheatleyStarsJulian BarrattPeter FerdinandoRichard GloverAmid the Civil War in 17th-century England, a group of deserters flee from battle through an overgrown field. Captured by an alchemist, the men are forced to help him search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field.one of the weirdest post-2010 flicks. completely held in b/w, it takes you into a, well, "field in england" and lets you watch the protagonists slowly lose their sanity. creepier than expected
- DirectorRobert KurtzmanStarsTammy LaurenAndrew DivoffAngus ScrimmA demonic djinn attempts to grant its owner three wishes, which will allow him to summon his brethren to Earth.can't quite explain why this is completely overlooked. clever plot, and the ending is all you can wish for from a flick like this

- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsDonald PleasenceLisa BlountJameson ParkerA group of graduate students and scientists uncover an ancient canister in an abandoned church, but when they open the container, they inadvertently unleash a strange liquid and an evil force on all humanity.the only movie appearance of alice cooper i've seen. and, he fits in quite decently
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsSam NeillJürgen ProchnowJulie CarmenAn insurance investigator begins discovering that the impact a horror writer's books have on his fans is more than inspirational.as a sam neill-enthusiast this is easily among my top 20. it would probably even be good without him though. for all lovecraft-lovers
- DirectorBrian YuznaStarsBilly WarlockConcetta D'AgneseBen SlackAn ordinary teenage boy discovers his family is part of a gruesome orgy cult for the social elite.what's to say except "Yuuuznaaa"?
- DirectorStuart GordonStarsJeffrey CombsBruce AbbottBarbara CramptonAfter an odd new medical student arrives on campus, a dedicated local and his girlfriend become involved in bizarre experiments centering around the re-animation of dead tissue.i am convinced this movie wouldn't work that well without jeffrey combs as Dr. H. West. his mimic, his gestures and his kind of logic give the shudders, and the even for 80s horror gory fest does the rest

- DirectorStuart GordonStarsEzra GoddenCampbell LaneJay BrazeauA graduate student questions his sanity after he rents a room in an old boarding house which was the residence of a 17th-century witch, and he discovers that the evil forces still roam within the walls.just a short film, but it had to be in here. mr gordon does it again. a rather faithful adaptation of HPL's novel - except, maybe, the last 10 minutes.
not for the faint-hearted. it left me quite horrified - DirectorFrank HenenlotterStarsRick HearstGordon MacDonaldJennifer LowryOne morning, a young man wakes to find that a small, disgusting creature has attached itself to the base of his brain stem. The creature gives him a euphoric state of happiness but demands human victims in return.henenlotter's best. still waiting for a sequel
