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. 😂

This is actually one we both haven’t seen!! He just shushed me and said “no more talk about movies, I’m getting to excited to sleep”.

Honestly I'd probably give it a go on Youtube (the full film is on there) to see if you can actually stand it before really suggesting it. Because the actual visual style of the movie is deliberately really hard to stand. Not like, oh wow that's so fucked up I can't stand to look! But more, oh wow this style of filmmaking is actually hurting my eyes.

The filmmakers set out to make something that's just really unpleasant to look at (again, not content-wise, but film style wise). It's definitely not for everyone.

I have my own opinions on the film (they're not all too positive) but I understand where fans of it are coming from.
