1973 The Killing Kind
Dir. by Curtis Harrington, good if you don’t mind lower quality. Explores relationship between a woman and her troubled son.
1977 Martin
One of George Romero’s lesser known films, a psychological spin on the vampire subgenre. Has black/white segments interspersed, otherwise in color. Small cast, slasher elements.
1983 Angst
An Austrian film dir. by Gerald Kargl and based on the Kniesek triple slaying, though this is far from a bio-pic. There are some long monologues, the rest of the film is covered by a mostly silent dread. A lot of close-up shots that may feel uncomfortable at times.
1996 Scream
If you like horror you’ve probably seen this.
2009 The Loved Ones
Australian flick dir. by Sean Byrne. Teenage girl wants the perfect prom. Zombie elements. The soundtrack is all over the place, seemingly placed to match the different characters.
