great horror you haveN’T heard about

you ask and i shall deliver: highly rated, lowkey bangers. each of these will stick with you.
guaranteed to finish and think ”…holy shit, that was a great movie”
• the wailing // korean film- one of the best of all time. 99% on rotten tomatoes • train to busan • the invitation • splinter • the dark and the wicked // depressing af • shutter • god told me to • lake mungo • the uninvited guest // more mystery and thriller but still insanely good
popular ones that are still a must • babadook • goodnight mommy • cabin in the woods • barbarian • parasite

Folk horror!!!

lots of great recs here, but if you want horror that is more based in storytelling and has a bit more on its mind than just slashers or gore you should check out folk horror or older horror films from the 60s/70s. as others have recommended, The Wicker Man (1973) is a must. Rosemary’s Baby (1968) is also a classic. The VVitch (2015) is also fantastic as an intro to more conceptual horror. you said you wanted deeper cuts, so check out Viy (1967) or Alucarda (1977), both of which i’ve posted more detailed recs for on my profile. also!!!! i don’t know how you feel about silent/b&w films but Nosferatu (1922) is an all-time genre mainstay that still holds up. Ari Aster’s work is great but it’s probably more gruesome than you’re looking for. have fun!!!

Write it all down

Not every idea is a good idea. But maybe a small part of it is, or maybe it can grow into one, or maybe it will lead to the next good idea, or maybe you just need to get all those lousy ideas out of the way so the good ones have room to breathe.
Or maybe it just feels good to write and this fixation on good vs bad ideas is the thing that’s in the way.

Write by hand

Recommending this for myself because I never do it but when I do it always helps me get what’s inside outside.
