10 More Horror Movies Way Weirder Than Advertised

[@steratcliffe9572]

Nobody in the whole world could possibly be disappointed with From Dusk Til Dawn, no matter what they went in expecting. Film is a stone cold classic

[@oliverholmes-gunning5372]

Was about to comment this exact thing, who the hell was disappointed by the FDTD twist?!

[@Ceares]

Exactly. Definitely went in looking for a crime drama and had an absolute blast at the twist. Still one of our favorite films to date and the one we always mention when talking about successful genre flipping.

[@Zett76]

TBF: When me and my friends rented From Dusk Til Dawn in 1997, the vampires were clearly shown on the backside of the VHS cover. :)

[@mortagon1451]

I remember going in completely blind and I thought the twist was the stupidest thing ever. It wasn't before I rewatched it years later that I learned to appreciate it.@@oliverholmes-gunning5372

[@jsmith3946]

Did the person who wrote this ever see a trailer for Dusk till dawn it being a vampire movie was plastered all over the marketing at the time the film came out so it was no surprise

[@cinema_chic]

The people that write for what culture do zero research. Like how they say fans didn't know what they were getting into with Bones and All. Clearly the fans that read the book did.

[@oliviav.3565]

Exactly

[@patricksharpe1148]

What was surprising was that their was a good crime movie at the start.

[@ataridc]

​@@patricksharpe1148yea I think it was meant to be a surprise but marketing ruined it. When I finally watched it I was very confused by its opening. So it kinda worked in the opposite direction.

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

"What were those guys, Psychos?" "Psychos dont explode when light hits them, i dont give a F*** how crazy they are"

The Grimlin in the 2nd movie was not Stripe. He was a new one named Mohawk.

[@justo1409]

Agreed

[@CashelOConnolly]

WTF is a Grimlin😳😂🧐

[@tehmarok]

​@@CashelOConnollyA clever spelling that they missed out on. 😆

[@MasterSkywalker86]

yeah, he was Mohawk. But some say he is a reincarnation of Stripe. I honestly don't know if that is true or not. I just go with he is Mohawk.

[@kennethweser]

Grimlin? Really?

[@ericthompson3982]

Gremlins 2 is a freaking delight, and was the first time I'd ever heard my brother make a topical joke about a movie. My brother does not really do humor, particularly observational humor, so I have a very soft spot in my heart for that movie.

[@lealmelisa]

One great weird movie is "the one i love" with Mark Duples and Elisabeth Moss. It doesn't look like the most interesting movie but then it gets very weird and makes you question reality.

[@averycheesypotato]

The Haunting was so bad it was good, idk what this review was on. Now I want to watch it again!

[@Spandex213]

I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun!

[@bethechange999]

Barbarian was one of the few movies that had a twist I didn't see coming !

[@ryanmacdonald5044]

Bones and All and Honeymoon both remind me why I love horror movies with surprises so much💚

[@marcelinevonschrute9850]

The weirdest films I’ve seen are definitely “the Tusk” , “lobster” and a Greek masterpiece of weirdness called “Dogtooth”. Watch them if you like weird unsettling films

[@kwcy92]

Isn’t Dogtootch basically incest porn?

[@fenix648]

Dagon and Society are a couple other very weird horror movies.

[@synaesthesia2010]

From Dusk Till Dawn and Gremlins 2 are legit 90s classics

[@Chloe-vi5mb]

Spring ! That film is crazy

[@michaelcamp4990]

Ready or Not should be on here, I was expecting some kind of survival movie like You're Next but it got way weirder in the end

[@angelab904]

Nightbreed is a weird, good horror movie.

[@seankeef9838]

And very dreadful at the same time!

[@duffno1]

One of my favorite Clive movies all time!

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Very true.

[@1neOfN0ne]

Crimes of the Future is a David Cronenberg film, no one should have been surprised by it's weirdness

[@ovormotssetgetsiin6359]

I love Rory Kinnear!! He is a GREAT actor!

[@secondbestpriest]

As someone who has taken on an old house as my home with lots or restoration and repairs ahead, the film 'The House' really resonates with me

[@doclewis8927]

Why would anyone think that "From Dusk til Dawn" is or would be a "Resevior Dogs 2"? They're not directed by the same person and one's a horror movie.

[@oliviav.3565]

Tarantino wrote both

[@annnichols3091]

I've been a fan of the 1963 "The Haunting" for almost 60 years. My sister and I really, really hated the remake. I still say that remake was as if it were the love child of Hill House and Hell House -- and did justice to neither parent.

[@jaqjynx]

I remember watching From Dusk til Dawn for the first time. Late night TV after a night out on the bevy. I definitely did not see that twist coming. I still like that film though.

[@brianbara3204]

The only list the remake of The Haunting belongs on is worst remakes of all time.

I loved the fishbowl lens effect to show her isolation. They were eating child stew!!!!

[@MikefromTexas1]

"Unexpectedly" versatile?? Rory Kinnear's always been a great actor.

[@zanethomas6865]

Pearl was one of the best movies of 2022 with a great performance by Mia Goth.

[@InvasionAnimation]

Time to go watch junkhead!

[@Maramo626]

If Cure for Wellness isn’t on here I swear to gods…

[@lainwakura]

guess what.

[@SomewhatSlightlyBored]

That movie is a mess in all the best and worst ways possible.

[@daniellewillis2767]

The set of 1999s The Haunting is worth the price of admission all by its beautiful 19th century laudanum swoon self...

[@Drebe73]

Men was a very bizarre but interesting film. I interpreted that it was an examination of toxic masculinity or perhaps more specifically, hegemonic masculinity and how it continues to be handed down generationally. Particularly the birthing scene where the wound continued to be passed to each new man.

[@reggiechristian-mz1cf]

What's toxic masculinity

[@watts111]

@@reggiechristian-mz1cf Acting in a normal, human way. GOOD LORD!

[@reggiechristian-mz1cf]

@@watts111 that's not telling me what's toxic masculinity? That's just being a good human being

[@belykwater5601]

@@reggiechristian-mz1cf Being "masculine" in a purely cynical and immature way, being knowingly sexist, chauvinistic, shallow and/or generally a jerk, and using your masculinity as an excuse or acting as if your behaviour is "natural" and therefor you don't have to take responsbility for it. Also guys who support a patriarchal traditional establishment in which such behaviour is condoned or encouraged. Eg Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Lee, Clint Eastwood, Dwayne Jonhson, Sir Roger Moore are/were NOT toxic. But Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, guys who profit or gain from by exploiting a sexist environment or social climate like Jimmy Savile, most incels, and most if not all sexist guys like that are certainly toxic. Giacomo Casanova was not toxic (if his memoirs are to be believed), but guys who view women only as objects certainly are. In fictional terms, Superman, Batman, Rambo, the Timothy Dalton and Daniel Craig versions of James Bond, Neo from Matrix, Rocky, etc are not toxic. Patrick Bateman, Clubber Lang, Bill the Butcher, and most portrayals of James Bond are toxic. Basically if you use your maleness as an excuse to be a jerk or immature, then you are exhibiting toxic masculinity. That's my understanding of the issue, anyway

[@zanethomas6865]

It's not a horror movie but more like dark comedy but Vince Gilligan's Home Fries was marketed as a quirky romcom. It's actually about two brothers who are NG helicopter pilots who terrorize their cheating stepfather and scare him to death literally.

[@radnarok30]

I get just as many great recommendations from the comments as I do from the videos, thanks guys!

[@jennierich2986]

I love Gremlins 2.

[@rottendamians]

Tusk! 🦭

[@linda10989]

That movie is a complete mind*uck!

[@Hilz28]

Could watch Pearl & X over and over again. So good.

[@RuuryM]

The Haunting! Totally forgot about that one! I saw it when I was 8 or 9 and it gave me nightmares! I remember watching it at a friends house and I was the only one that finished it. That's the beauty of being a child, horror movies look scary even with the bad cgi now it would be consider a comedy rather than horror 😂😂

[@paulvoorhies8821]

I really liked Honeymoon. Saw it at the Tribeca Film Festival and asked a question to the director.

[@thatlittlevoice6354]

Rory Kinnear is great.

[@MrJerichoPumpkin]

"the Violent Kind" would have been a great honorable mention

[@TheTurkaderr]

I Loveeeeee Honeymoon!!! It was awesome, and one hell of an ending!!

[@prisonmike4971]

The house was so good. I had no expectations and hadn't seen a trailer, but it is honestly brilliant.

[@michaelcamp4990]

the part where the people got turned into literal pieces of furniture was so compelling and WTF at the same time

[@prisonmike4971]

@@michaelcamp4990 That was such an unexpected move in the plot..never saw it coming and loved every quirky, creepy bit of it.

[@eve-myliechabot535]

Me and my sister watched men,thinking it was a ghost movie…..I’ll always remember that movie in all the wrong ways-

[@WarrickRanger]

I watched Honeymoon just a couple of weeks ago, I liked it!

[@nhf7170]

It was kind of messed up. I love when a movie makes me say "What the hell did I just watch?"

[@StaindHand]

Was gonna comment about how far you were off the mark with several of the films on the list and then you proceeded to include Gremlins 2, so I knew you ought not to bow taken seriously, at all

[@lanacherie184]

Bones and all was a good watch for me. Honeymoon wasn’t too bad either ; it kept my attention

[@jessicagoldberg7051]

I read Bones and All this summer, but I haven't seen the movie. It was definitely a crazy ride and the ending I still have mixed feelings about. I will have to see the movie and compare. :)

[@b.c.eckhoff3495]

The first story of The House has stayed with me. So creepy.

[@jacobstaten2366]

I was very invested in Pearl.

[@actionturnip395]

The skin I live in seems like it would belong on this list although I’m not really sure what the marketing for that film was even like

[@pamelqtaylor8335]

Pro Tip: never expect anything normal from Cronenberg/Mortensen. Those two egg each other on in wierdness! /s

[@youngvoltaire90]

How come Cabin in the Woods is not in this playlist?

[@travisray3761]

I can’t seem to find the honeymoon, does anyone know the year or director?

[@Darapsa]

2014 Leigh Janiak It's listed on IMDB and Wikipedia.

[@marioperez9394]

My dad put honeymoon on one time and we watched it and it’s not an amazing movie but it’s definitely worth watching at least once

[@TheTurkaderr]

I couldn't finish CRIMES OF THE FUTURE, it just made me too squeamish. I love Cronenberg, but damnnn that one hit me hard, I don't think I can ever finish it.

[@Ceares]

Okay but do you love super gross body horror Cronenberg of the Rabid, Videodrome etc... era or do you love psychological drama Cronenberg of the History of Violence, Eastern Promises etc... era? I grew up with the first one and fell in love with the second one . I'm legit sad he's returned to body horror -I mean it's clearly his thang but I will miss seeing him plumb the depths of Viggo Mortensen's psychology.

[@selwynr]

I'm sorry too. Good taste is the enemy (or is that enema?) of creativity.

[@seankeef9838]

Wounds, Netflix.

[@SamBrickell]

Whenever someone says "partner" when they mean a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse I literally can't stop myself from rolling my eyes.

#1 for me is Men. What in the hell did i watch

[@circeciernova1712]

Wait, Crimes of the Future is supposed to be horror?

You know how it goes. Woman goes out alone in the woods, strange stuff winds up in there...

[@TheTurkaderr]

it's an awesome scene, it's shot very sparingly, you see very little of the worm but the tension in that scene and what you do see will drive you and your nerves up the wall. The entire movie is just one big nerves shredder, it just gets more and more tense before the final scene which, just..damn.

[@jaimemanrique2640]

Dusk to dawn isn’t a horror movie legit straight up action western

[@StaindHand]

Split you down the middle

Lol quentin tarantino directed the first half of from dusk till down hence the switch halfway since they literally switched directors. Do your research. Do better

holy shit the casts of these movies are bland af. talk about boring

[@JStorkey6]

Men had some really great horror scenes but it insisted on being this terribly surface-level social commentary instead of Alex Garland coming up with a plot.

[@selwynr]

A plot, as conventionally understood, would have utterly ruined it. Nightmares have a plot? Perish the thought!
