Melancholia is definitely the most depressing film I've ever seen.

There's another film from the same year called Another Earth that works as a great companion piece to it. But that might be too much depression to go through back-to-back.

I've only seen one Lars von Trier film, Dogville, and that was crushingly bleak. I hear almost all of his films are like that.

1. Eraserhead (1977)

I didn't count this primarily as horror because it... just doesn't really fit. It doesn't fit into any genre, but it still felt wrong to count it!

Obviously if I did then it would rank as #5

I'd seriously argue that with the right mindset, Eraserhead is a fantastic dark comedy.

I think they range from bleak (Breaking the Waves) to emotional snuff films (Antichrist)

Truth be told, the only other LVT film that I've seen in full is Nymphomaniac, which was not good.

Haha yeah, I don't disagree. I labeled it "Fantasy Horror" for now!

@Nelson_Mandela @CasanovaZelos

Really great to see Rosemary's Baby on both of the lists! Going by top 10 only I prefer Zelos' list by a hair due to Caligari and Possession. Though none of the ones I mentioned actually make my top 25.

This is my personal current top 25:

1. Pontypool (2008)
2. American Psycho (2000)
3. The Endless (2017)
4. From Dusk till Dawn (1996)
5. The Mist (2007)
6. Resolution (2012)
7. Repulsion (1965)
8. Suspiria (1977)
9. You're Next (2011)
10. Cat People (1942)
11. Red State (2011)
12. Jacob's Ladder (1990)
13. The Devil's Rejects (2005)
14. Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
15. Kill List (2011)
16. The Cabin in the Woods (2012)
17. The Love Witch (2016)
18. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
19. Nosferatu (1922)
20. Trick 'r Treat (2007)
21. Peeping Tom (1960)
22. The Thing (1968)
23. Bone Tomahawk (2015)
24. Videodrome (1983)
25. Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

I left out a couple that could be considered fringe like They Live and The Guest.

Oh man so much to cover on that one, Snake

Your definition of horror is pretty loose, as I wouldn't even consider #2-#4 horror movies!

I really need to see The Mist and Red State. I've heard universal praise for the former and some pretty extreme opinions on the latter.

New Nightmare > the original is ballsy but I can get on board with it.

Shocked you don't care for The Shining as much as I do!

Yeah you'll either love or hate Red State most likely.

It's hard because I do love The Shining a lot AND the original Elm Street, like they would definitely make the top 50. My big "hooks" that really get me to really love a horror film are high-quality atmosphere, genre subversions and transitions, and great central characters which can sometimes be lost in the shuffle of shock and gore.

It's funny, when I first watched back in 2011 I didn't really care for it all that much, but it has really grown on me over the years. It's really such a quiet and contemplative film, and it's interesting how the sci-fi aspects are just background dressing to tell this really human story of redemption.

Sound of My Voice is another Brit Marling stunner.

Her career should've took off like a rocket tbh

Haven't seen Sound of My Voice, but it sounds really good!

I think Marling is really fantastic in The OA.

The story for Another Earth is so great. Brit Marling kept getting cast as the "Blonde Love Interest" in projects and she was so frustrated about not getting roles she wanted so she just decided to write her own movie

She should have a whole catalogue by now but she stopped writing films for some reason. :(

My buddy kept raving about Another Earth after I turned him onto The Man from Earth. I should really give it a watch.

She's the co-creator of The OA on Netflix, so she's still doing stuff.
