What's the Weirdest Horror Movie?

[renny]

What's the weiredest movie you've ever seen that could be considered horror? I'd have to say Eraserhead. That thing was actually pretty disturbing, with some really repulsive images that I consider to be of the horror genre, even thought the movie's plot is not very classifiable.

I thought the Cell was a pretty wierd horror movie.If you haven't seen it get it it's really col. Also Freeway as a wierd twist on The Little Red Riding Hood.
Freaky movies,

I'm with you, Renny! ERASERHEAD rocked the fucking HOUSE!

Honorable mentions include THE REFLECTING SKIN and AFRAID OF THE DARK.

The weirdest thrillers include FIGHT CLUB, LOST HIGHWAY, DEAD RINGERS, CRASH and VANILLA SKY.

Tetsuo - Iron Man (1988) is quite grotesque, and so is eXistenZ (I'm not sure if eXistenZ qualifies as horror, though.)

[Jason13thh]

I would say Perfect Blue ( an amime movie but a really good one !! )
Okay it is an anime but it is so well done that you don't care about that.
Think about Akira or Jin Roh.
Return To Monclare, Pi.

Wow, somebody else has heard of the Reflecting Skin! That is one of those rare horror movies that actually gives me a queasy feeling when I watch it, the whole atmosphere of that flick was just slimy and perverse. Also, if you can find it, check out Dr. Caligari, another great flick nobody has ever heard of.

I'd have to say Jacob's Ladder.

[Raw Chili]

i agree with eraserhead and jacob's ladder

[Cyclonus]

THE CELL
HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II

[Emo]

people under the stairs

[asyouwish530]

Weirdest is FLOCK OF THE CHASM BELT
stupidest is BLOOD DINER and CURSE OF THE BEASTMAN

[Jewbo]

yeah i love eraserhead. id also go with the basket case films, they r kinda weird.

[countchocula]

I agree with The Item. The storyline is incoherent and the plot twists are way out there, but I still enjoyed it. Cemetery Man is also very unpredictable and bizarre. It starts out like a somewhat normal zombie movie and then decapitated heads are scurrying across the ground singing love songs. Good stuff!

Does anyone remember Anguish? That one's got the midget psychic chick from Poltergeist and the producer (or was he the director?) in Barton Fink.

*spoilers*

The first half of this movie is really a movie being watched by this chick being stalked in the movie theatre by the same guy on screen. Or something like that. It's been a while, but the psycho cuts out the eyeballs of his victims for some reason, and I remember alot of weird pseudo-hypnosis scenes. At the end it turns out that the chick being stalked in the movie theatre is really just another movie being watched by other people.

I'm delighted that others here have noted The Reflecting Skin. An actor from Lord of the Rings (that Viggo guy from G.I. Jane and the Psycho remake) is in it, and even does a nude scene (for those who're interested). I remember this movie from film school and never forgot that infamous frog scene, the dead baby, and the dad who lit himself on fire. Very stark and unusual, it's worth a look from adventurous movielovers.

[kombat ki]

jacobs ladder was a great film but session 9 was pretty weird also

[KillerKlown]

Eraserhead was well fucked up!

[Draven2277]

Donnie Darko was pretty weird....and i loved every damn minute of it!!

[Nekroman]

We musn't forget Xtro. A woman gives birth to a full sized man for christ's sake! Screw the lame sequels though.
Also the Jap movie Uzumaki with all the wacky spiral crap going on! :cool:

[FT13TH Addict]

Horror - No story or plot, but alot of weird imagry.

[TheAxeGrinder]

I don't know if you'd classify Peter Jackson's Meet The Feebles as horror, but it definitely is a wierd movie.

[Lindsey]

Gummo. That had to be one of the weirdest movies I EVER saw.

[MacReady]

Can't believe no one mentioned Videodrome yet.

[deadeye]

Company of Wolves. Left me with a big "huh?"

Thank you!! I could not remember the name of that movie for the life of me!!!

[tvmorbid]

Videodrome and the cell are pretty fucked up i agree.
Anyone remeber a film called Prince of Darkness? (no it not a dracula film) its about Satan trying to get into our world thru mirrors(?) or did i imagine the whole thing?

[deadeye]

Prince of Darkness is an awsome Carpenter flick. Too bad it doesn't crop up on cable more often

[X-Nightcrawler]

I don't like the word "weird" when it comes to movies. But the mentioned are great choices.

[WastedThursdays]

house of a1000 corpses...i till cringe thinking about certain images...

[Shatter]

The Cell

ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Like salt in a wound you had to mention this God-forsaken movie. Did you like it? Oh please no!!!! What other forum? I want to swallow one of the push-pins on my desk thinking about the torture I went through watching this... this... thing.


Yes, it is weird... I do agree on that.

[DawnOfTheDead]

Not by definition a horror flick, but I still can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet... NAKED LUNCH, anyone?
