Over 10 weird horrors
by tvcarsd | created - 29 Jun 2020 | updated - 18 Dec 2021 | PublicNot necessarily killer horror movies or most under-rated. These are movies I think horror movies buffs should hunt down just to see at least once in their lives. If you, like me, enjoy movies that take you on unexpected, surreal or dreamy rides through horror then you'll likely find some gold in these select titles.
The list is prioritized from 'least likely to have be seen', 'level of weirdness' then the essential 'horror theme' element. I recommend not reading any of the reviews prior to watching any of these movies as they will almost always contain spoilers which is a killer for many weird movies.
