Prisoners
Hugh Jackman stars in this dark, dark, dark, film. It was an outstanding movie that keeps one guessing but, dawwwg, it's bleak. Horrific and ambiguous ending.

I'm beginning to get deja vu. I may have created a similar thread years ago because my answers sound familiar.
I was wondering that too - it seems familiar - it's still fun though. I wonder if I had different thoughts about this topic then? Probably not - watching those two movies did a number on me for a while.
Also - I agree on Silence of the Lambs and Se7en. Well done and totally engrossing, but terrifying.
I agree that the horror genre should be a bit supernatural - and I can handle horror and supernatural - It's the psychological thrillers that terrify me. The things that can really happen. The things people actually do to each other.
This is quite strange as I just started to watch this movie last night. Also, the Brian De Palma movie, Dressed to Kill starring Michael Caine. Also, the Clint Eastwood movie, Tightrope.
Black Swan was not advertised as a horror movie, and an argument could be made that it's more of a visceral psychological thriller, but it does have some horrific content and tone.
I love Dressed To Kill. Such a well made movie. I remember when it was released that DePalma was being ridiculed for 'ripping off' Hitchcock style of film making but I think DePalma took it to another level. This movie still stands up all these years later. Michael Caine is mesmerizing here. Keep your eye on what he (Caine) does with mirrors.....
Scary in it's own way
And icky! So very, very icky!
Working the night shift at seven eleven is very scary.
Akira, amazing frickin’ movie but so very brutal in its violence and imagery.
A Serbian Film. Saw it several years ago when I kept noticing a lot of articles online about how disturbing it is. I thought "Well, how bad can it really be?" As it turned out, it was pretty darn unsettling.
I’ve heard of this one before but never knew what it’s about, can you give a summary?
A retired porn-star agrees to do one more film in order to meet his familial obligations. Unbeknown to him, the film he's required to do will take him to some really dark, emotionally scarring places.
Sounds..... strange? This sounds like a story a concerned parent would spin to scare their child into never considering getting in the porn industry.
It contains some pretty stomach-churning material. It's a pretty solid film, but not one that I care to re-watch or recommend, simply because I'm not keen on films which showcase the cruelty of human beings. And I'm not tying to be high-brow here or anything, it's just a personal preference.
Nah man, I enjoy being able to sleep at night.
