    I actually wrote you a long message with recommendations and then the comment crashed because I wrote too much (I guess?) So I’ll just stick to just movie recommendations this time. I’ve tried to stick to lesser known horror movies that I think are either brilliant or interesting or both. There are some movies I’d like to put on the list, but since you say you are well versed in horror, I assume you know those already as they are pretty mainstream. I will make a few exceptions along the way, though, as I may consider some of them mainstream, but they might still be movies that someone could have missed.
