I watched Possession(1981) for the first time last night and holy heck was that a mindf*ck of a trip. I had heard great things about it and how it had a cult following but I went in blind otherwise. Loved almost everything about it, very surreal and the film itself contorts to things I can’t even describe by the end - solid 8/10

I also viewed Jacob’s Ladder(1990) last week and that was a wild ride as well!

Anyone have any personal favs or recommendations? I’m not a horror fan by default but just trying to watch some gems I’ve missed during the spooky season 🎃

      Oh wow I forgot about this one and was randomly trying to think of it the other day. I remember it being pretty good but also a little meh. Maybe had some better expectations but I can hardly remember the film. Might be worth another revisit. Thanks for the rec

        Some of them are definitely more body-horror focused, but his father (David Cronenburg) has some good ones. Crimes of the future comes to mind for a more recent one.

        Also infinity pool by Brandon was also worth watching.

        Edit: Currently watching “smile” it’s pretty good, would recommend (unless the last 30 mins suck, that’s where I’m currently at).
