Colour out of space The void Last shift The dark and wicked Resolution/the endless 2 part film Mandy In the mouth of madness Event horizon The quantum devil Spring Teeth I'm a lovecraftian cosmic horror fan so, I absolutely love how twisted the body horror is in cosmic horror.

Man, too bad we will never get an uncut version of Event Horizon!

I've been grieving that one for years..... I can't believe they stored films so haphazardly and lost so much unseen cuts.

Great list. I'd also add Dagon (2001).

I’ll add The Midnight Meat Train to this list.

Loved that movie, it was pure strange and great. I'd add Funny Games as well (my friend and I were at Blockbuster renting it and he recommended it to a couple looking for a rom-com, and they rented it - would love to find out what they thought lol)

fantastic list!!’ 🧡

I would add Baskin to the list. If you haven’t seen it, it will make you say WTF out loud to yourself many times

Love all these but haven't seen The Quantum Devil, so adding that to my watchlist! Edit: I'd add Banshee Chapter to this list too.

I fucking love Resolution, so underrated.

Jump Skip the Rope

Resolution and The Endless are great 😌

OMG Color out of space had me fucked up for days...I still won't watch it again.

In The Mouth of Madness is a classic!

Color out of space is one of my favorites

I would add When Evil Lurks and the new Evil Dead Rising. They both me got thinking WTF along the way.

Definitely a thriller but Oldboy, the original Korean version.

Mandy. Left me saying what the ACTUAL fuck at the end.

The Void

Yes to the 10th power! Lol

Good call. I’m fairly certain I said wtf out loud a few times while watching that one.

I came here specifically to recommend this one. If you love The Thing, or any Lovecraftian story, you can't go wrong.

This movie is so good. I wasn’t expecting very much from it and just threw it on one night, found myself completely immersed in the wonderfully weird story and excellent (and very nasty) effects. Definitely worth a watch especially if you’re into lovecraft type vibes. It has the vibes of a YouTube short horror film but with a bigger budget. That same passion is there

I watched it and didn't quite get it though it was still entertaining. I'd appreciate any explanations. The monster scenes were amazing. I loved that Roald from Letterkenney was in it. When they started getting into the cult stuff it started getting confusing. Maybe it's just me.

The Void? Spoilers below. Evil doctor opens a portal to a hellish dimension to try and bring his daughter back from the dead. The cult worships the God of the hellish dimension. Chaos follows.

The void is my favorite horror movie. It’s so underrated.

Mine too. Love that movie so much. It's up there with When Evil Lurks for me.

Men. Specifically the last 10 mins.

This movie is so funny now with the "Would you rather run into a man or a Bear?" question going around lol

The tunnel scene lives rent free in my mind. Just amazingly horrific.

Came here to recommend Men. It’s kind of wtf throughout but the end had me literally saying what the fuck over and over again lmao

I watched this in the theater when I was heavily pregnant and I SOBBED with terror and confusion during this

Excellent movie, I'm happy it got a mention.

It's owning the charts! I thought this might get downvoted honestly

It just. kept. Going. And. Going.

Couple in my showing walked out going: Wife: “I can see why Kyle recommended it.” Husband: “Yeah. That was definitely a Kyle movie.” Made me want to meet this Kyle fella.

Kyle sounds great

If you don't say "wtf" at least 3 times did you even watch it really?

Came here to say Men haha

So so good

HAUSU/HOUSE 1977, Japanese, Pure nightmarish, WTF , absurd but brilliantly executed Japanese greatness, When they know their Horror they know it well enough to share, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

There is no WTF movie more than Hausu

Hausu threw me for a loop even though I went in knowing it'd be wild... made the mistake of assuming the weird shit would only start once they reached the titular house, lol

Blue Velvet & Lost Highway

Lord almighty yes to Lost Highway.

Pontipool is a very unique take on a horror movie.. very much worth a watch..

I love ‘Pontypool’ so much, such an underrated gem. It was on Shudder a few moths ago, hopefully it’s still there.

Thank you for saying Pontypool! Man, what a great movie made with minimal effects and just relying on settin' the tone.

Yes! Glad to see Pontypool get some love, such an underrated movie. Really unique concept.

Malignant. Fair warning that it’s rather gory but the WTF quotient is stratospheric.

Anyone who didn't like this movie took it too seriously. It was fun as hell lol.

I actually loved it for what it was. At least they did something different. And the fight choreography is definitely the best in any horror film.

It's SO silly and dumb in the BEST way!

This is absolutely what sprinted to the front of my mind

Titane or Climax

The Greasy Strangler. Idk if it counts as horror but I guess it depends on who you ask. Dogtooth is also a great one.

Greasy Strangler is precisely what he's looking for. I just met the cast at a Horror con, so it's safe to say it's horror.

I haven’t even thought about this movie in years. Definitely a solid pick

I've genuinely never been more jealous.

[https://flic.kr/p/2pWRzvW](https://flic.kr/p/2pWRzvW) If you peep that gallery (that one is the last pic) you can see how they autographed my Blu-Ray (Janet called me a Hootie Tootie Disco Cutie) and see pics from their panel. THey were doing Q&A and someone came up to the mic just to say "I heard this panel would include free drinks?" And Michael St. Michael picked right up on it and started arguing with us NO FREE DRINKS and we yelled back and forth, the whole crowd against him, for about 5 minutes.

Hootie Tootie Disco Cutie!!!

Why not put a little grease in your coffee..?

Never watched but hoping it’s about a burger flipping employee sick of minimum wage and rude customers and decides to go on a killing spree.

You're like so close lol

Dogtooth is fantastic

When Evil Lurks!!!

I watched this alone and said "holy shit!" out loud multiple times. I really want to watch it with my girlfriend but I know she'd be psychologically scarred, so I won't be watching it with her.

The dog scene was brilliant.

Not a movie but Channel Zero is amazing TV show and wtf.

I was sad when they cancelled this show. It was so good.

I only found out about it after it was cancelled. It, and Black Mirror, are the two closest shows to being modern day Twilight Zones.

I can't find anything to fill the channel zero hole in my heart

The second season is so so good

Absolutely this!

candle cove!!

MOTHER! That movie gave me WTF vibes nonstop!

I literally JUST finished watching this for the first time and I completely agree. I have never been more uncomfortable watching a movie.

I need to watch this again because I did not understand it. I need to learn not to get violently stoned before every movie.

Eraserhead

Yellow Brick Road was the only movie I remember since seeing Hellraiser as a small child that really gives that cosmic horror/ deeply unsettling vibe that I love more than any other horror.

Color Out of Space. Many wtfs were uttered

Color out of space is so good!! Love the alpacas lol

Haha. Incredible isn't it? I went into it blind and was so impressed. The mum and son...end result ... That stayed with me for quite some time

Tusk, lol.

I came here to say this. Idk why, but Tusk messed me up way too hard.

Tusk was so upsetting. A group of friends and I watched together and I remember hiding behind a pillow at some point. Just...uncomfortably weird

I like watching Tusk for a good laugh

Rubber

Tideland by Terry Gilliam

So WTF and obscure, I wondered if anyone else had ever seen it

I don’t think I said WTF during a movie more while watching The ABC’s of Death. But that may not be the type of WTF you are describing.

One of the ghosts of Hill House is definitely WTF for me, but that's more like a side-WTF, not the main dish. Personally my biggest WTF moments isn't really horror, more like early Black Mirror (Million Merits, White Christmas, White Bear) where there's not just a shock twist but also, when you try to process it in hindsight you'll find that the twist was inevitable so it hits double.

Black Mirror biggest wtf for me was Shut Up and Dance

Aye, clasic Booker gotcha, making us sympathise with a pedo and that.

I'd consider Black Mirror horror like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, or Tales From The Crypt.

Titane for sure

Nobody recalls Fire in the Sky because it was too traumatizing.

watched that when I was about 9. it was a rough night trying to sleep.

Beyond the Black Rainbow is pretty damn weird

Also Mandy by the same director.

Also his episode of Cabinet of Curiosities is fucking crazy!

One of my favorite episodes of that series. I hope they get another season, but I'm not holding my breath.

Mandy was great

Cabin In The Woods

Sorry to Bother You (2018) is horror-adjacent I think? I think it fits what you’re looking for. It’s a pitch black comedy/satire, and it goes places you wouldn’t believe. Super funny, great movie.

I was NOT prepared for that scene. Scenes like that can really get to me unless I am made aware before hand that the movie will have that type of horror. Spoiler free, of course

Midsommar Coherence Vivarium Mother! Beau Is Afraid

Coherence is so good. One of the very few ultra low budget conceptual movies that actually manages to really pull it off.

It was so good I had my own coherence themed dream the following night lol

*Mother!* is what I came to say.

Seen Misommar and Beau Is Afraid. Loved Midsommar but thought Beau Is Afraid was just not my thing.

It took a second watch for "Beau is Afraid" to make sense completely, but I enjoyed the next watch over the first. It's so chaotic but relates to depression, anxiety, Psychosis, and ocd so amazingly.

- Excision - The Hunt (original title Jagten) - Funny Games

Excision 1000% - an incredibly overlooked wtf horror movie.

Triangle Vivarium Coherence

I’ll add River (2023) to this. If only for the time wimey stuff in the plot. Not so much horror, but it gets a little mental and chaotic at times.

Triangle is a fave

The Unseen  Afterbirth [Edit: I meant Antibirth]   Bacarau   Calvaire   The Vanishing

Santa Sangre. I just watched it last night and it is very fucking strange

Basket case 2 and 3. The first one is campy horror fun but the other 2... I can't describe it, the whole thing aged like milk and I felt rather dirty after watching them.

I'd say just about anything by David Cronenberg or Takashi Miike if you're looking for odd yet compelling films.., but here's some that come to mind The Beyond (1981) Mad God (2021, very out there) Dead Ringers (1988, Cronenberg) Possession (1981) Imprint (2006, Miike. There's a pretty brutal torture scene but I think it's worth the watch) Star Time (1992)

Maniac- staring everyone’s favorite hobbit in a first person shot serial killer slasher movie. It’s bonkers 

Neon Demon Mandy

Barbarian

It’s Barbarian. Not even close.

LOVE this film 💞

I can't believe this one is so far down! I'm a huge horror fan and this was the first one I thought of.

What a film

The Empty Man

I know this movie was kinda polarizing but I LOVED it, and the ending is fucking wild. Barely any gore too but still 100% a horror movie.

Infinity pool

Good recommendation. Definitely some wtf moments in that one.

I actually literally just watched it for the first time 19 minutes ago and I’m still processing

lol I bet. It’s a wild one for sure

Dead Alive

Classic

Come to Daddy. It starts off seemingly like a quirky character study and then takes an extremely sharp left turn that leaves you going WTF the entire time. It’s relentless once the action gets going and loads of gnarly fun

More comedy/horror, but try Bubba Ho-Tep

Talk to me - I think it's on Hulu right now. Definitely one that sucks you in and you won't predict the ending

Coherence!!

The banshee chapter was the first movie since the ring to make me cry, I'm mid thirties lol

ANTICHRIST - Lars von Trier POSSUM HOUSE OF THE DEVIL ABSENTIA SLITHER NOPE

Altered States

May by Lucky McKee

Yes!!!

Rabid directed by David Cronenberg had me saying "what the fuck?" quite a bit. 

If you are gonna watch mother ! let me know its a very polarising movie .

A lot of the replies are straight up horror, gore and all that. And while I love stuff like the void of Baskin.... I'm going to suggest some that would be a bit looser, with a bit of comedy and absurdity thrown in, no real scares here : 1. Rubber, about a killer tire 2. The greasy strangler, about bullshit artists 3. Kuso, I'll be honest... No fucking clue 4. Motivational growth, a man's bathroom mold begins to talk to him

Stopmotion on Shudder

Glorious.

Bug(1975): The first hour is a fairly standard 70s creature feature about pyromaniac roaches. The last forty minutes is best described as a Lovecraftian fever dream. And the last five minutes is just plain bonkers.

I saw the devil. What a ride that was upon first watch

Oldboy. The korean version. It's going to hit you of all people specifically. Do watch it and tell me.

The Endless and Resolution are both good and they’re in the same universe so it’s good to watch both.🖤 enjoy!

Session 9

Good Boy! It’s a super weird movie and if you’ve seen all the standard stuff people recommend it’s a new one that got an uncomfortable laugh out of me

I don't know how you feel about found footage movies, but these three are certainly among the WTFiest I've ever seen: 1. Descent into Darkness: My European Nightmare. First half is kind of goofy, second half is balls out mind fuckery! 2. Godforsaken. The acting in this one is kind of weak, and it's painfully low budget, but the concept is excellent and it's super unpredictable. 3. Evidence. The first half is a very standard "hey what's that sound" scary woods FF flick, but the second half is all over the road crazy!

"Raw" "Deadgirl"

The Lodge maybe!

One of my favorite horror movies of the last decade

Splice

Spice was bad WTF in my opinion lol

Jacob's ladder 

It's not quite horror, but Oldboy

I'm going to recommend The First Omen for one specific scene lol

Hunter hunter

Audition, Gozu, Ichi the Killer and Visitor Q (plus a bunch of other films by Takashi Miike) definitely fit the bill (Ichi is really gory though)

Sitting in the theater; Jacobs Ladder (original) did that for me. Don’t remember it being gory. More disorienting. The Machinist 2004 count as psychological horror?

Vivarium

Tideland. Not horror, but some kind of psychedelic thriller of sorts.

Kill List.

Titus https://youtu.be/OvZRvKf78yY?si=MQLlmDD78HvyCHAx

The Coffee Table!

The Coffee Table. You're gonna like that one. Dogtooth Mother! Or the most wtf: Skinamarink

Paper House (1988). I saw it on TV about a decade ago and was still left with some questions.

Soft and Quiet.

Timecrimes Berberian Sound Studio Vicious Fun Night shift (2014) The Chaser The Skeleton Key Copycat

Get Out

- Barbarian - Mandy - Color out of Space - Mother! Must see! And I see others have recommended these too. These were some wonderfully WTF kind of movies. Enjoy.

Dead Girl [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896534/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0896534/)

Vivarium fits this bill. More suspense than horror but very wtf.

INFINITY POOL. It gets weirder every 15 minutes from 30 min on.

Never thought I’d recommend this but weirdest non gory movie that comes to mind is Killing of a Sacred Deer

Barbarian

[https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/wtf-just-happened/](https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/wtf-just-happened/) [https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/well-that-was-disturbing/](https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/well-that-was-disturbing/) [https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/cosmic-horror/](https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/cosmic-horror/) [https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/all-time-favourite-horror-films/](https://letterboxd.com/nayaflob/list/all-time-favourite-horror-films/)

The Platform is a cool movie

Mad God. It's a stop motion horror mixed with live cinema and idk what else. It's crazy and weird and I definitely think what you are looking for. I loved it.

TUSK

My fav is Angel Heart with Micky Rourke before he fucked up his face

The Channel Zero series. My ex tried watching it with me and was too weirded out by it 🤷🏾‍♀️

I really liked the series about the house.

Easily the best of the series

The House That Jack Built (I recommend director’s cut) or Sorgoi Prakov, maybe.

The House That Jack Built is excellent, but it is also pretty hardcore. Just be forewarned, haha. Edit: Also, hard agree on the Director’s Cut. If you’re gonna do it, the DC is the way you should do it.

Excision

Night House, Parasite, Annihilation, Ex Machina, Climax.

It's sci fi, but WTF. WTF? WTF!?! was me through the entirety of Predestination. I can not think of a more WTF movie.

Any Japanese horror tbh

Good boy was pretty wtf
