The Creepiest Movies You Haven’t Seen
When I’m not writing, investing or reading I like to unwind by watching a movie, but every time trying to find a movie it’s always 45 minutes of searching. Movies seem to fall into the categories of I’ve seen it, I’m not in the mood or that looks stupid.
So to help you out, (specifically you horror movie fans), I’m going to give you a short list of movies that really messed me up–that you may (probably) have missed. Number one on this list is brutal.
(6) Come and see (1985).
Come and see is not a scary movie in what you’d expect but it paints a realistic image of war and what the Belarusians/Ukrainians experienced being surrounded by two menacing forces. It’s mentally torturous to watch this, partly how it’s filmed. The silence is eerie, the stares are creepy and the destruction is memorable.
Synopsis: The invasion of a village in Byelorussia by German forces sends young Florya (Aleksey Kravchenko) into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family’s wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha (Olga Mironova), who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.

(5) Coming Soon (2008).
This is a Thai movie that was recommended from a Filipino friend. I was expecting something silly, crappy special effects, boring… but no, this is one freaky film. I don’t know why but the bar has been set so high for Asian horror movies, they are simply on a whole other level.
Synopsis: Two projectionists discover a disturbing film featuring the lynching of a woman. Not only are they troubled by the content of the movie, but strange events befall them following the viewing
Here is the trailer:
(4)Ghost Stories (2017).
The British always make good ghost stories but this one is truly brilliant how it all comes together. I think if you take one scene out of this movie it doesn’t work. There are some really bone-rattling scenes throughout that the sequence of trailers below will show.
Synopsis: Professor Phillip Goodman devotes his life to exposing phony psychics and fraudulent supernatural shenanigans. His skepticism soon gets put to the test when he receives news of three chilling and inexplicable cases — disturbing visions in an abandoned asylum, a car accident deep in the woods and the spirit of an unborn child. Even scarier — each of the macabre stories seems to have a sinister connection to the professor’s own life.
(3) House of the Devil.
This movie is only about 15 years old but it was deliberately filmed to look like an 80s film. According to the trailer it appears like an ordinary slasher film that you’ve seen before, but it continues to get stranger and stranger. This is a real horror film that has attached each scene to the concept of evil.
Synopsis: Desperate to make some money so she can move into a new apartment, college student Samantha Hughes takes a mysterious babysitting job. When she arrives at the house, Mr. Ulman mentions a full lunar eclipse and explains there is no child, but that Samantha will be watching his mother instead. After exploring the sinister-seeming house, Samantha soon comes to realize that her employers are hiding a horrifying secret and have plans to use her, dead or alive
(2)Grave Encounters (2011)
This one likely fell under your radar given that it’s low-budget of just 120K. This one really stuck with me too. It was creepier and creepier the longer it went on. Read the comments to the trailer below, it is a horror movie that actually is scary for those with a high tolerance for scare.
Synopsis: The crew of ghost hunting TV show hole up in an abandoned psychiatric hospital hoping to catch some spooks on camera – a scenario that can only ever end badly, and it does
(1) Kill List (2011).
This one messed me up. Once it gets going after the inital dinner party this movie is pretty steady paced. The creepiest part of it all is that by the end of the film it very well could have been a true story.
Synopsis: Eight months after a disastrous job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, ex-soldier turned contract killer, Jay, is pressured into taking a new assignment.
Here is a trailer, gives me goosebumps seeing that again.
