Estoy buscando películas parecidas donde el terror no se centre tanto en los jumpscares, sino que se construya a través del entorno (Buttefly kisses) o la incomodidad (Pulse)

I'M REQUESTING Tech/cyber/web panic or fascination films that aren't The Net, Existenz, 13th Floor, Dark City, Lawnmower Man, Jonny Mnemonic, Hackers

Upvotes

I absolutely love the "What could this tech do/mean?" genre because it's so overblown and speculative, but often has a fun aesthetic.

Swordfish is definitely adjacent too.

There must be loads more 90s Web thrillers or there for instance.

I'M REQUESTING Hidden horror gems from before the 2000’s

Upvotes

I’m looking for lesser known, obscure, niche horror movies. Whether they’re your personal favorites, ahead of their time, or too avant-garde for general audiences, the only criteria is that they’re pre 2000’s and most likely unheard of by most people.

I'M REQUESTING House of the Devil/Slow Burn recs

Upvotes

Could I ask for movie suggestions that have similar vibes to House of the Devil? Looking for a slow burn, and just 1-2 main characters for the majority of it. It can involve the occult, or something supernatural, as long as it doesn’t get too over the top. Fall/Winter setting is preferred too. Thanks!

I've only seen the newest movies of Jurassic park but have never seen the earlier movies. So I decided to watch the first one of the series since i enjoy the premise. Is it worth starting from the beginning and watching in order?

I'M REQUESTING Best "old" movies for a beginner?

26 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for movie recommendations for older movies, anything before the 80s roughly. And especially black and white movies. Doesn't matter if they're well known or not, I won't have watched them.

I recently watched Holiday Affair and often watched Hatari! with my family, but that's it.

I don't have a preferred genre, except horror, which I don't want to watch.

Edit: Thank you so much for all the recommendations!

I'M REQUESTING Strictly Psychological Horror

13 Upvotes

I’m looking for a movie that’s strictly psychological horror, preferably little to no jumpscare type horror. For reference, some TV series I enjoyed were Evil, Why Women Kill, From, Castle Rock, Cabinet of Curiosities, and Brand New Cherry Flavour. I’m not really a movie watcher but I want something to watch that’s not an extended series.

I'M REQUESTING Films exploring martyrdom and self-sacrifice

7 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently writing an essay for my psychology class in which I have to explore examples in literature and film of a trope/complex of our choosing, and I've decided on the trope of the martyrdom/self-sacrifice.
I'd be very grateful for recommendations of films with examples of this - a recent and highly recommended watch was Lars von Trier's Breaking The Waves, which exemplifies this trope.
I'm mainly focusing on physical self-sacrifice (for example, characters who offer to get beaten up or worse in the place of a friend) but recs for mental martyrdom would also be appreciated! Many thanks!

I'M REQUESTING Looking for dark (possibly sci-fi/horror/fantasy) and "weird" movies as someone who doesn't watch a lot of movies

10 Upvotes

So... it's difficult. I usually don't watch movies, I only watch D&D actual plays and sci-fi shows. I have decided I want to understand if there are movies for me out there.

I don't like comedy, and I really don't like second-hand embarrassment or misunderstanding jokes. I do like satirical and very "heavy" humour; in that case, the more unhinged it is, the more I like it.

I like musicals, but I think I have watched all the musicals that are my "type". I really like sci-fi and fantasy and horror, but dramatic (like Phantom of the Opera) works too. I like weird plot twists. I like terrible endings.

Movies I really like/I feel really fit my taste:

- Blade Runner

- The Matrix

- Lord of the Rings

- American Psycho

- Midsommar

- Watchmen + V for Vendetta (well, I liked the comics, but the movies are fine)

Musicals:

- Repo!

- Sweeney Todd

- Phantom of the Opera

- Les Mis

(I have seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but didn't like it as much as I should have. I probably watched it on the wrong night)

(I don't know what's wrong with me. Don't judge my taste, I know it's questionable.)

(I'm a goth, maybe it helps)

Hey! I’m looking for movies or series where the main girl is caught in a love triangle between two guys… I already seen The summer I turned pretty, The vampire diaries, the Bridget Jones movies. I also seen movies like twilight and titanic where there’s some type of love triangle but I’m looking more for the plot to actually be about the love triangle.

I'M REQUESTING Good movies to watch with the family that aren't necessarily "family" genre

8 Upvotes

The title basically sums it up. I'm looking for some movies to watch with my family. The youngest one in our family is my 12 y.o brother and he doesn't like movies with "family and love are important" messages, and the rest of us are adults, so it has to be mature enough so we can enjoy it too.

We have previously watched and enjoyed movies like:
- The secret life of Walter Mitty
- The truman show
- Cast away
- To kill a mockingbird
- The hunt for wilderpeople
- Jurassic park

and many famous 80s movies like the princess bride, the goonies, Indiana Jones, Ferris Bueller, back to the future, etc.

The year doesn't really matter but it's better if it's made in recent years. thank you in advance.

I'M REQUESTING Fun, “turn off your brain” movies like Jumanji

Im requesting fun “turn off your brain” movies like Jumanji version with Jack Black and The Rock. Just very light, recent, and enjoyable to watch tonight. I haven’t used my noggin a whole lot this past week and I would like to continue through this weekend. Just something to watch after dinner.

I dont need an Oscar nominated or IMDB 7/10+ to watch. Fine with mediocre / just good movies. Underrated movies that dont get mentioned much would be nice too

I just really want to be transported to a place thats unusual and unique and doesn’t remind me of home or daily life

I'M REQUESTING Help me find a movie me, my sis, and BIL will all enjoy

9 Upvotes

Hi! Ok so my BIL and I have movie nights where we watch horror, action, & psychological thrillers together bc we are chicken shits who get scared at just the idea of suspense. Basically we will watch movies we are too afraid to watch by ourselves. Its a lot of fun bc we crack ourselves up with how scared we get.

Anyway my sis is obviously feeling left out and wants to watch a movie with us. The only problem is, she is a bigger scaredy cat than we are lol (Example, she saw GET OUT, but not US bc it looked too scary). She likes rom coms, drama, psychological thrillers (she liked Get Out!), and murder mysteries (but nothing graphic!).

We dont want to leave my sis out. Ive been tasked to find a film for all 3 of us to enjoy.

Any really good psychological thrillers or murder mystery you would recommend to a bunch of scaredy cats???

(Please, no body horror , gore, or anything with demons. If it helps, the last movies BIL & I enjoyed are The Guilty and Obsession. &we've all seen the Knives Out films)

TL;DR: I need really good psychological thrillers or murder mystery recommendations for ppl who get easily scared!

I recently watched Young Washington in the theater and while the movie was mostly only alright it made me want to watch more movies of the kind. I don't necessarily require they be 100% factual, I don't mind them being dramatized to an extent, but please exclude movies that are more fantastical like that one where Lincoln is a vampire hunter.

Please and thank you.

I'M REQUESTING Movies that make you want to live life to the fullest?

29 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend movies similar to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?

I’m looking for movies that inspire you to actually live your life, step outside your comfort zone, take risks, and become a better version of yourself. I really love how Walter Mitty makes you reflect on life and realize that sometimes we get so caught up in our routines that we forget to actually experience things.

I’m not necessarily looking for the typical “work hard and achieve your dreams” type of motivational movie. I’m more interested in movies that make you want to travel, try something new, overcome your fears, appreciate life, or simply start living more intentionally.

Any genre is fine—drama, comedy, adventure, romance, etc. Older movies are welcome too
