<p>The terms "deep cut", "hidden gem", and "underrated" are thrown around so casually in the film world, so I wanted to devise a list of horror films that I can recommend or others have recommended that most have under 50k views on Letterboxd! Some of these films may be well-known in some circles or were popular at a time, and because of their low amount of logs on this app, it felt necessary to highlight them as there is a new generation of cinephiles who is unaware of these films. And if you filter the list by popularity, some of these films have less than 1,000 logs and/or may not be on streaming and deserved to also be sought out and remembered!</p>

<p>If you're feeling overwhelmed, but still want to squeeze a film into your daily routine, this list is made for you. Basically the only criteria is 90 minutes or less, 30 minutes or more, and I have to like it (or think that it looks interesting).</p>

<p>Just a list of some pretty cool movie posters on the LB database. I haven't seen most of these movies. Arranged (messily) by aesthetic.</p><p>For an interesting aesthetic view as opposed to regular rainbow sorting, I recommend sorting the list by "When Added"</p>

<p>Pessimistic worldviews. For when you want to wallow in despair.</p><p>It doesn't matter if we all die.</p><p>Suggestions welcome.</p><p><br />NOTE: the criteria for films on this list is not merely that they have sad endings. In fact, sad endings are not even a requirement.</p><p>DISCLAIMER: This list started off as the first fifty-ish. All subsequent films are suggestions. I have therefore not seen all films on this list.</p><p>ADDITIONAL NOTE: This list has grown way beyond what I expected. I also understand that some are dissatisfied by the films in this list. I sympathise. This was not the list I set out to make. <i>Sátántangó</i> and <i>Salò</i> are not the same as <i>Fight Club</i>. But every single one of these films was suggested by someone. To someone, each of these films matched the title of this list. So this isn't my personal project any more, this is a community list. It should also be said that due to this, please do not expect this list to be nuanced. The title is a generalisation and different degrees of hopelessness are reflected across these films.</p><p>FURTHER NOTE: As this list became unwieldy and difficult to maintain, I have decided to cap it at 1000 films for now. For every suggestion I add, I now remove a film. So it is a rotating list of depressing movies. Feel free to politely tell me which films you think don't belong here. </p><p>---</p><p><a href="https://letterboxd.com/darrencb/tag/lists:-suggestions/lists/" rel="nofollow">Contribute to my other lists here.</a></p>

<p>List title inspired by Joan Hawkins' book Cutting Edge: Art-Horror and the Horrific Avant-Garde (but does not correspond to her works cited and mostly includes films not mentioned in the text)</p><p>horror by way of abstract, experimental, art cinema which isn't entirely reliant on narrative - not "elevated" horror </p><p>style as substance</p>

<p>Horror films directed and/or written by Black filmmakers, or films featuring a predominantly Black cast or with a Black lead. I would have preferred to not put in any white filmmakers at all, and maybe that will change, but for now, I'll leave those films in as long as the cast isn't predominantly white. I also do not want to put old racist movies in this list. The point of this is to promote Black filmmakers and actors.<br />I'm not being that strict about the "horror" label. For example I am including Attack the Block, which is sci-fi. The Foreign Exchange Student is really more of a thriller as well.<br />I'll be putting a list of all currently streaming Black horror films on my website and I'm working through this list myself. This list is obviously motivated by current events. I hope everyone here on Letterboxd agrees that Black Life Matters and there are many ways to show our support to the movement. Since we're on Letterboxd we obviously love films, so support Black voices in filmmaking and especially support independent creators. <br />If I miss any movies that should belong here, please let me know in the comments. This is a work in progress. I organized it chronologically.<br />6/13 update: I made a list of currently streaming films, over 50 of them: <a href="https://serpent-club.com/2020/06/13/50-black-horror-films-you-can-stream-right-now/" rel="nofollow">serpent-club.com/2020/06/13/50-black-horror-films-you-can-stream-right-now/</a></p>
