Top 10 Weird Horror Movies that I Need to Watch

Hey everyone!  Welcome to the "Top Lists" where I do a top 10 lists on any topics that I come across!


This week's theme is: Top 10 Weird Horror Movies that I Need to See!


It's the Halloween season and that means that it's time to talk about some horror movies that are weird, but I haven't seen them yet (man, I need to start watching more movies soon).  So, here's my top 10 weird horror movies that I need to watch!



1. Little Otik

When a childless couple learn that they cannot have children, it causes great distress.  To ease his wife's pain, the man finds a piece of root in the backyard and chops it and varnishes it into the shape of a child.  However the woman takes the root as her baby and starts to pretend that it is real.  When the root takes life they seem to have gained a child; but its appetite is much greater than a normal child.

I've been dying to watch some of Jan Svankmajer's films and "Little Otik" seems like the most interesting movie out of his collection (besides "Alice").  I am interested in seeing just how scary this particular movie is, especially after seeing some of the scary imagery in "Alice!"



2. Mandy

The enchanted lives of a couple in a secluded forest are brutally shattered by a nightmarish hippie cult and their demon-biker henchmen, propelling a man into a spiraling, surreal rampage of vengeance.

This is probably one of the most recent surreal movies that was released and it was interesting seeing Nicolas Cage star in this movie.  I've been hearing lots of good things about this movie and I also heard about how weird and terrifying this movie is, which is a nice bonus for me!



3. Videodrome

When he acquires a different kind of show for his station, a sleazy cable-TV programmer begins to see his life and the future of media spin out of control in a terrifying new reality.

I never seen any of David Cronenberg's films, but I heard that they were pretty weird films! One of his weirdest films was "Videodrome" and if the premise of the film is television turning reality inside out, then you know that you just hooked me in!  Also, I want to see just how creepy this movie is!



4. Mother!

A couple's relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disrupting their tranquil existence.

I haven't seen any of Darren Aronofsky's films, but I am intrigued by the premise of this film and it definitely sounds like a good and weird horror film that I should check out!

5. Suspiria

An American newcomer to a prestigious German ballet academy comes to realize that the school is a front for something sinister amid a series of grisly murders.

I've been hearing so much about this movie, but I never got the chance to see this movie (seriously, when can I find the time)?  This sounds like a good horror movie to check out!



6. Lunacy

A man takes up residence with a mysterious marquis and is soon persuaded to enter into an asylum for preventative therapy.  Things are not what they seem, and the marquis may be even more sinister than what the young man may've predicated.

Another Jan Svankmajer film that I am interested in and it seems like the weirdest among his works.  I definitely need to check this movie out!



7. Evil Dead 2

The lone survivor of an onslaught of flesh-possessing spirits holes up in a cabin with a group of strangers while the demons continue their attack.

I haven't seen the "Evil Dead" movies yet, but this one sounds like the most interesting of all the series!  I guess I'll give this series a shot!



8. Possession

A woman starts exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after asking her husband for a divorce.  Suspicions of infidelity soon give way to something much more sinister.

I've been hearing a lot about this movie and I am pretty interested in seeing how this movie will turn out!



9. Manos: The Hands of Fate

A family gets lost on the road and stumbles upon a hidden, underground, devil-worshiping cult led by the fearsome Master and his servant Torgo.

I just saw the IMDB rating on this film and it's PRETTY low! But, I'm going to check this film out anyway, either to see whether I like this film or not or to see just how BAD this film is!


10. Cemetery Man

A cemetery man must kill the dead a second time when they become zombies.

Oooh! This sounds like an interesting movie!  I honestly never heard of this movie until I checked out various weird movie sites and they had mentioned this movie a couple of times.  Definitely worth checking out!

Well, that's my top 10 weird horror movies that I Need to watch and I'm hoping to watch all of these movies soon!
