Did anybody ever figure out what Mother was about? I guess I'll recommend a recent good one that I saw, The Wailing.

Irréversible is probably the most morally reprehensible films I have ever seen.
Liked it as much for the portrayal of the freakish level of talent of the dancers.

Not the best, but a lovely example of a classic ghost story, done in a low key way and total reliance on characters and good acting to deliver the chills,

Plus 1 for Suspiria, although I recommend eq ss the sound track master isn’t great, on my admittedly basic tv having the dialogue at audible levels meant risking getting my eardrums blown out by the (good) incidental music.
A hidden gem I found a while ago, going to buy the DVD. Also I see the original Black Christmas is now on Bluray, going to get that soon.

I believe Wes Craven first films, disturbing and violent, be warned.

The best horror film I've watched in a long time is "Tumbbad" and its streaming on Amazon Prime. Highly recommended if you are ok with subtitles.

Yep, that's the one. I love it when horror movies have a mystery aspect to them but so often the reveal is disappointing. Not this one though. Mind blowing - as you said.
Nope, that's backwards, as Eve said to Adam,
"don't worry about God Adam, here taste this apple."
I bought a little B-movie I liked a while back on DVD - Dead End - but it came in 4:3 unfortunately. Then I noticed Vudu had it in Widescreen AND HD, D'OH!
Another good little movie i saw years ago, "Them" is only available in SD or DVD, not sure which I'm going to get.
I was trying to subscribe again to Shudder but forgot my password, tevs, I remembered it being pretty meh.

I've been watching a bunch of horror films lately (tis the season). Here are some thoughts ...
* You're Next, B. The first half is competently made but full of cliches and horror tropes and dumb jump scares. However, once the real lead character is revealed and takes over, the movie switches from horror to thriller and its AWESOME. Also, one of the best kills in cinema history.
* Mandy, C+. Like an acid trip captured on film. If acid trips were super boring. Interesting visuals and well paced 3rd act make it better than average.
* Color Out of Space (2019), B+. By far my favorite adaptation of this story. You care about this family, so what happens to them is truly, literally, horrifying.
* The Lighthouse, B+. Liked it way better than "The Witch". I recommend turning on captions so you can understand Defoe. Ultimately gave me "Lost" vibes - meaning lots of ideas, call backs to mythic characters, interesting story, but nothing ties it all together in a complete way.
* The Dark and Wicked, C. I cannot overemphasize how much the last 10 seconds of this movie ruined it. Up til then, it was a good, moody, low budget flick with a great theme.
* The Invisible Man (2020)., A+. I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE. The first scene should be taught in film schools on how to tell a story with no dialog. The lead actress was amazing. And the craziest thing - the film budget was a measly $7 million.
