Movies with a specifically '80s heavy metal aesthetic.

Action, violence, and explosions, sure...but also bleakness, darkness, and fear.

Nowadays the horror genre is full of lame normies and vanilla plebs who mistake lame, insipid touchy-feely trash for "disturbing". This list contains actual horror movies for real fans.

I'm not going to shun the classics but it wouldn't be very useful to go adding every famous horror flick here. So I'll keep it to "lesser known" stuff with the occasional mainstream but worthy addition.

This list contains none of these:


* PG 13 garbage only normies find interesting
* "Psychological horror", which means it's just a lame drama
* Gorefests with abysmal acting made by amateurs
* Horror "comedies." Horror isn't funny, give me a break already.


For a movie to be here, it has to be legitimately dark, bleak, unforgiving, and push the envelope in one way or another.

For a horror film to be GOOD, it should make you NOT want to see it again any time soon - it should be memorable enough in the worst possibly way that it follows you through your years. When you finally do revisit it, you should have mustered up emotional energy to get through it.

That's horror.
