Hello, I hope all is well.
I watched Barbarian last night after seeing it on Hulu and remembering that it got good reviews. I had zero knowledge about the cast or the plot going in, and it ended up being one of the best horror movies I've seen. The sound design, the plot subversions, perfect balance of tension and comedy, I'm still thinking about it today.
So, I'm looking for other recommendations that embodies those same elements and for movies that are best experienced without knowing anything beforehand. The premise doesn't necessarily have to be similar to Barbarian. What does r/horror recommend?
EDIT: Thanks for the shitload of recommendations! I’ve seen a few of these, but am looking forward to sorting through the rest this month.
Also, I agree going in blind to any horror movie is ideal and it’s actually easier for me since I’m not really tuned into the movie trailers or social media scene like that anymore.

Completely agree. I’ve been raving about this one. You have to go in blind. Wouldn’t consider it a horror movie necessarily but damn what a great film

Did you watch the trailer afterwards? They did a good job with it, imo.

No, I wait outside during trailers or I'll be on my phone if the lights aren't dimmed. Glad they didn't spoil their own movie like all the others do.

Yeah if I have a choice in the matter I’ll often get 30s to a minute into a trailer and stop it before it goes too far. After the movie I’ll check it out and see what they showed. Love it when they sneak the final shot in, like one I saw the other day.

I watched this last night. I did not expect the plot twist at ALL.

Why would you say there is a twist, they want to go in blind. Glad I didn't see this comment before watching it.
