Great Realistic Minimalist Horror

[St_Eddie]

How about Lake Mungo? I know it has its detractors (cunts), but it's a lovely, slow-paced, brooding atmospheric film with an unpredictable plot and a scene that scared the bejeezus out of me in a way that most films don't.

Consider me a (cunt).

By the same token CaB favourite Under the Skin, mix of the strange and the absolutely mundane.

The folk at CaB have a refined taste, it must be said.  Well, aside from the (non-cunts) liking Lake Mungo.

On most days I'd say Rosemary's Baby is the best horror film ever made.

It actually is entirely realistic right up until the ending, which is why the reversal is so comic, and the horror throughout is genuinely horrifying, because it's all banal reality. The horror of elderly nosy neighbours, of cloying relatives, of uninterested partners.

& of frank sinatra lurking just out of shot.

Room For Rent (as recommended here) is pure Lifetime Movie bullcrap. I'm not only angry about the time I wasted watching it, but also about the time everyone wasted making it. A whole 3 days (max) down the toilet.
