I really like fantasy and period movies, but my favourite genre is
horror. I especially like folk horror and horror set in remote places
like space, the arctic, underwater, etc. These places are so vast and
unforgiving that you don't really need anything supernatural to make
them frightening.
Maybe my favourite non-horror movie. Not particularly historically
accurate but I love it anyway.
John Goodman is amazing.
Dark comedy from Terry Gilliam set in a surreal dystopian future.
Very cool aesthetic.
This movie feels like a dream. Very relatable for me as someone
with a fear of babies.
Wonderful creepy sets. Lots of gore. Sam Neill.
Gorgeous dark fantasy. Contains
this
extremely heterosexual scene.
Accurate depiction of life in Minnesota.
17th century guys do psychedelics. Beautiful cinematography and
soundtrack.
90s Lovecraftian horror starring Sam Neill, what's not to like?
I have too much to say about this movie to fit it here.
Puppets, gorgeous costumes, David Bowie's music.
My favourite movie when I was a kid, I watched it hundreds of
times. Great story and animation.
Very pretty. Tim Curry plays a sexy devil.
Every year I cook a big meal, enjoy some "pipeweed", and spend a
day rewatching the whole trilogy.
A modern movie that perfectly captures the aesthetic of 60s and
70s horror.
This movie started my obsession with 18th-century fashion. Great
soundtrack.
Surreal and unsettling. I couldn't stop thinking about this movie
for days after watching.
I first watched this on a plane surrounded by people, and it still
completely terrified me.
Very beautiful. I want to be Tilda Swinton.
Another movie I watched over and over as a kid.
My favourite Studio Ghibli film. When I was little, I used to run
around with a stick pretending I was San.
I don't really know how to describe this movie or why I like it
but it is very good.
A childhood favourite. It doesn't hold up perfectly but it's still
very nostalgic for me. Beautiful costumes.
Incredible soundtrack and use of colour. I'm not a big Dario
Argento fan, but I love this movie.
Isolated arctic setting. Lots of gory practical effects. A perfect
movie.
Very cool special effects. Natalya Varley's acting is really
creepy.
My favourite horror movie. The music is amazing. Christopher Lee
is amazing.
Creepy isolated rural setting. Goats. Great performance from Anya
Taylor-Joy.
