Recommend dark thrillers about unearthing a horrifying secret.

Yes please, would love more series in the same vein.

 

Please go ahead, would love to hear it.

 

Seen it and absolutely loved it. Probably the most original take on the vampire genre.

 

The Conversation (1974)
Don't Look Now (1973)
The Others (2001)
The Maze (1953). Not so much horrifying as mirthful.

 

More from the '70s:

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
Klute (1971)
The Day of the Dolphin (1973)
The Stepford Wives (1973)
The Odessa File (1974)
Rollerball (1975)
Futureworld (1976)
Marathon Man (1976)
Capricorn One (1977)
The Boys from Brazil (1978)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The China Syndrome (1979)

 

Irreversible.

Have you seen any Black Mirror (TV though)? Many of the episodes have some skin-crawling premise that is only revealed at the end.

 

Frailty (2002)

 

These are what I've watched recently via Netflix:

La Mante (French)
Bordertown (Finnish)
Borderliner (think this is Norwegian, can't remember now)
Dark (German) this is very twisted and complicated but highly rewarding.
The Sinner (English)
Bloodline (English) this is brilliant, especially the first season.

I watched these via Sky in the UK:

Midnight Sun (French-Swedish)
100 Code (Swedish-English)
Public Enemy (Belgian)

There is also a French series called Spiral (Engrenages) which is excellent.

 

i enjoyed dark, had a unque vibe

 

Dark
Trapped
Dark Spot
Les Revenants
The Sinner

 

I strongly recommend watching the original and skipping the U.S. remake, which could serve as a parody for what American pop culture does wrong. That said watching them in succession does make for an interesting comparison. Or you could watch them in reverse order of release (U.S. then Dutch, which I think is what my friend and I did) -- you'll be in for quite a shock.

"Tell No One" (2006) is a terrific thriller about a secret, though perhaps not quite "dark" and "horrifying" as others mentioned.

 

If you liked Child 44, check out Citizen X.

 

The Empire Strikes Back

 

Soylent Green? Or how about Beware Mr. Baker?

 

I'm watching the first season of this at the moment, it's good.

 

Mystic River

 

Out on Blu-Ray now:

 

The Changeling (1980)

 

Mother (Korean film)
Rememory (watched this as it has Peter Dinklage in the lead and it's very good)


Will post some more later, have seen a lot of good stuff since my last post here.

 

'Hereditary' would fit the bill nicely.

 

he'll cane ya

 

Michael Haneke is particularly good at these. Check out his imdb page, especially Funny Games, Benny’s Video, Hidden, 71 Fragments Of A Chronology Of Chance and The Seventh Continent.

The Changeling (2008) directed by Clint Eastwood.

 

The first film that comes to mind is The Crying Game. Lol
