2023 Horror Movie Recommendations

Do they have to be good? Or pure horror?

This chart could be useful, though do note the threshold is low due to subgenres which might fit just enough.

I think u already watched all the good stuff from 2023, i don't really like some of these, but if u wanna try ...:

Appendange
The unbinding
Little bone lodge
Hermana Muerte
The sadness ( maybe this is 2022 on some countrys)
Horror in the High Desert 2: Minerva
Marui Video
Good Boy (maybe 2022)
Infinity Pool (not totally horror film)
Birth / Rebirth (not totally horror film)

Bonus:

The dark and the wicked (this is from 2020, but i really like it)

Kind of an oddball, but the Wickerman just had a 4K re-release last year, if you didn't have a chance to watch it so far, it's one of the best folk horror movies out there.
I would also characterise Infinity Pool as horror and the Blackening is a fun take on horror movies, although it isn't scary.

horror is my favorite genre too! what do you think about knock at the cabin and talk to me?

well i watched home for rent and it was better than i thought so i recommend it! skinamarink had the eerieness but wasnt that good. ig infinity pool counts as maybe psychological horror? loved the portrayal of how how bad people will become when they have power/something.
also i heard good things suitable flesh but havent watched it yet, im curious abt it.

(lastly, apparently they remade children of the corn again...why? why.. i'll take everything Stephen King related but still....) (oh i made a mistake, the only thing 2023 abt it is the theatrical release..)

i almost forgot! Beau is Afraid is adventure/horror and it was so weird, i was hooked and along with the confusion, i loved it! (could be a bit shorter tbh...)

The only recent horror movies I enjoyed are:
Watcher
Fresh
M3GAN
The Menu

I see that Renfield is missing on your list, so maybe consider that.

I watch at least a few horror movies every week, so can't remember everything, but I do remember all the holiday-themed ones were shit last year (there's someone in the barn, it's a wonderful knife, etc.), except thanksgiving. the sacrifice game was okay, all fun and games, the elevator game, snow falls as well. natty knocks too, a very pleasant surprise, didn't expect it to be any good (it's nothing extraordinary but even a half-decent horror movie is rare among all the shit).

the winnie the pooh thing and the meg 2 were trash (black demon, also sharky, was at least watchable), as were not one but two flicks with heather graham in them (oracle and suitable flesh). disappointing. oh, and til death do us part, a creature was stirring, wintertide and dear david were unwatchable (also evil dead rise, so you might like them).

totally killer, mentioned above, plus the wrath of becky and slotherhouse were a lot of fun, unseen and renfield were fine. the jester started out okayish as well (a ripoff of that other mime/clown thing I can't remember the name of), then turned really shit. five nights at freddy's was average at best (love elizabeth lail though). didn't like it lives inside, fear the night was okay.

there had to have been more but these should do. I'd also recommend courtney gets possessed if if you don't mind low-budget entertainment, but turns out it's from 2022.

I honestly don't watch alot of modern horror films as I'm more a fan of the older ones (prior to the 90's), so I would recommend films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Dracula (both the Bela Lugosi original and the Spanish version), and, probably the only "modern" horror film I recommend, Tucker & Dale VS Evil.

Different approach. I discovered this recently. And For the movies I've seen in the 2023 lists, it fits quite well.

I was gonna say "When Evil Lurks" was the surprise hit for me last year, but you already watched it ;p

On top of my head I would say

• Dead Silence
• Insidious Movies in Chronological Order: (That's the recommended order, but I've watched them in order of release date. I haven't seen The red door yet
  Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015)
  Insidious: The Last Key (2018)
  Insidious (2011)
  Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)
  Insidious: The Red Door (2023)
• The Cabin in the Woods

From this past year. It's considered horror comedy drama. Not so sure about the horror part, I think it's unsettling and horrifying for a number of reason, not plain horror. That said, I'm talking about Dream Scenario.

Other obscure difficult to sort movies that I definitely recommend to a horror fan:

• Perfect Blue
• Memories (mostly the first segment)
• Room 1408
• Kairo (2001)
• Gozu
• Visitor Q

Deliver Us(2023)

I have probably watched 1 or 2 movies listed here, not a fan of horror as such.
But the one I mentioned above, can be an okay watch if u watch it fast forwarding occasionally. I watched it like that and found it to be an interesting watch bcz they had a good plot, but the movie itself wasn't well made.

Hopefully 2024 is okay, I watch Night Swim and I liked it, maybe you might like it?

Happy Death Day n Happy Death Day 2U???

Big horror movie fan, but, mostly classics. Up next on my to watch list is Hereditary. I am unsure if i have seen any horror from 2023, afair no. Evil Dead Rise had in mind to but i eventually didn't.

I recently DARK HARVEST, and it was a really different, cool movie. I liked the unabashed weirdness of the premise: think Halloween meets hunger games but set in the 1950s (or maybe alternate reality 1950s??) so the whole thing has a rockabilly type vibe to it. You can watch it on amazon tonight if you have that.

Hell House LLC Origins: the Carmichael Manor is the one that caught my attention last year. Give it a try if you like found footage genre I guess :)
