The Invitation, The Witch, Coherence, what next?

Coherence is a random title to throw in with the first two. Invitation and Witch are early 2016 films and coherence is years old already.

The Gift (excellent, sophisticated, expectation-subverting thriller)
Side Effects
Martha Marcy May Marlene (must-see for fans of true, nail-biting suspense and psychological tension)
Kill List (crawls under your skin and builds to a complete freak-out you have to see to believe)
The Disappearance of Alice Creed (crazy twists and turns)
It Follows
The Babadook
The Canal
Nightcrawler
Gone Girl
Oculus (moderately frightening)
Sicario (more of an action thriller, but definitely has shades of darkness and yes, even horror)
Prionsers (one of the darkest, most relentlessly bleak thrillers I've ever seen. as a thriller - it's arguably up there with the best of them, however it is not for everyone.)


*out of all these my strongest suggestions would be The Gift, Kill List, Martha Marcy May Marlene.


All these are upcoming 2016 releases: I haven't seen this promising of a season for horror EVER. There are at least 8 films on this list that will end up classics...if not nearly all of them. Don't mind The Invitation it just looks good on the list - so many films on this list are going to look good on your list of favorites (The Woods, Observance, Don't Breathe, etc.). The Wave is already out OnDemand (Time Warner).

- The Wave (typical disaster plot but made with substance, style, and a constant sense of impending doom and dread - true suspense to be had here)
- The Invitation
- 10 Cloverfield Lane
- Green Room (supposed to be exciting and brutal)
- The Ones Below (positive reviews thus far)
- High-Rise
- Observance (check out the trailer...looks terrifying)
- The Conjuring 2
- The Neon Demon
- The Shallows (trailer looks incredible, this should be a surprisingly strong entry in the shark attack subgenre and Blake Lively is immensely watchable and will provide the kind of grounded performance a film like this needs)
- Don't Breathe
- Lights Out
- The Girl on the Train (the trailer totally sold me... I can't wait to see this. I just couldn't believe how seductive, dark and disturbing that trailer was -- I love how it is set to Kanye's Heartless in a remixed version... so sick! Also love the phenomenally talented Emily Blunt)
- The Woods (amazing reviews so far, some hailing it as a new classic)

Watch Red, White, and Blue. The Babadook was standard fare at best, and the popularity of It Follows is confounding to me.

My "horror" recommendations from this decade (2010s):

9/10:
The Babadook

8/10:
Housebound
A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
Resolution
10 Cloverfield Lane
The Witch
It Follows
Let Me In

7/10:
The Conjuring 2
Hush
We Are Still Here
The Invitation
Creep
Honeymoon
The Conjuring
In Fear
The Conspiracy
The Cabin in the Woods
You're Next
Tucker and Dale vs. Evil

Going to start watching all of these recommendations in this thread (already seen Babadook, It Follows, The Witch, The Gift, and The Perfect Host - enjoyed all of them).

If you're talkin' good indie horror over the past few years, check out: The Den, Starry Eyes, Pontypol, The Canal, Kristy and Hush (the newer, American one with that title involving a deaf woman). The Last Shift is pretty silly, but still entertaining.
