Inspired by a list from IMDb, curated by Dr. Unken (https://web.archive.org/web/20210306111226/https://www.imdb.com/list/ls031142976/), I am in search of other films that have a similar tone to the films in that list. You can recommend me anything, even if the film is the same from that list. They can be in any genre and the language can be English or a foreign language.

Examples of such films include:

  • “Martyrs” (2008) (In French with English subtitles)
  • “Funny Games” (1997) (In German with English subtitles)
  • “Possessor” (2020)
  • “We Need to Talk About Kevin” (2011)
  • “You Were Never Really Here” (2017)
  • “Dragged Across Concrete” (2018)
  • “Green Room” (2015)
  • “Manhunter” (1986)
  • “Nightcrawler” (2014)
  • “Kill List” (2011)
  • “Enter the Void” (2009)
  • “Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father” (2008)
  • “Blue Ruin” (2013)
  • “Requiem for a Dream” (2000)
  • “Antichrist” (2009)

    The most fucked up movies I’ve ever seen are:

    Irréversible 2002 - French film, rape / violence

    The House That Jack Built 2018 - Matt Dillon, murder, God, hell

      House That Jack Built I just watched recently for the first time. It reminded me vaguely of American Psycho, but in a suburbia setting. I don’t really ever see this movie mentioned, but I thought it was really good.
