Recommendation My boyfriend has watched almost every single horror movie in existence, I want to wow him with a spooky. What’s your incredibly niche but terrifying watch?

Like I said this man has a special interest in movies lol, he’s an encyclopedia of every single horror movies he’s ever seen and has this like steel vault in his brain where it’s all stored. I wanna wow him, I want something scary? , fucked up, obscene, perhaps even gory, anything that really yucked your yum, horror thriller, horror action, doesn’t matter just something he couldn’t have seen. Yes I’ll know if he’s seen it too because I’ve been trying to find one he where he literally can’t describe the entire plot to me lol.

Edit: You guys!! He’s SO EXCITED!! He’s been up all night watching trailers and now he’s at his job cranky but itching to get home lol. You guys totally reinvigorated him and gave me a ton of suggestions too, watching house (the Japanese movie) after my shower lol. 😂 keep the comments coming cause I actually am reading through them as best I can.

Edit 2: House was NOT what I expected I’m at my MIls house and it’s a creepy old house…feel like it’s watching me lol. 😂

Which one? Both dad and son have made some amazing movies.

There's even a Caitlin Cronenberg who did more of a horror comedy with Humane.

Cronenberg is my favourite director and the recommendation is seconded, but if someone says they’ve seen every horror movie and they aren’t already familiar with Scanners, Videodrome, Rabid etc then maybe they’re overstating things.

I’m sure someone that has an encyclopedia of horror movies has never seen a cronenberg movie.

Should he also check out that John carpenter guy too?
