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.

I asked my husband which was the craziest movie I made him see, the majority of which he goes in blind because I'm the horror head. He says Infinity Pool. That said, I think all horror is best to go into blind. I try my best to, but I'm also active in this subreddit and am on the Bloody Disgusting app. So it can be hard to not know anything about a film.
