> Backwoods Horror movies come in many different varieties, but being chased through the woods by inbred, homicidal maniacs is definitely at the core of this tried and true sub-genre. Of course sometimes it can be Neo-Nazis doing the chasing, or maybe even a monster; and sometimes the action takes place on a mountain or even in a single cabin; but there are always somehow woods involved. They kinda have to be.
>
> No matter the setting or menace though, Backwoods Horror is wildly compelling, because who doesn't fear being lost in the boonies while death is breathing down your neck?
>
> There are plenty of Slasher flicks that are technically Backwoods Horror, but we didn't include them here because they got their own list, and there are plenty true Backwoods Horror movies out there that deserve the attention.
When it comes to Backwoods Horror flicks, we implore you to check out some of the lesser known titles like Frontiere(s), Rabies, or Rovdyr, if you're looking for something "new" and a bit different.
Also, don't sleep on The Tourist Trap. Truly creepy stuff.
For the first 6 movies in the list:
> If you're in the mood for a truly quality Backwoods Horror flick, any of the movies in our Top Six will do you right. For our money, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Wolf Creek are probably the best of them, but then again they all bring their own unique and terrifying vision to the Backwoods Sub-Genre, so enjoy them all!
For the remaining:
> Below are the rest of our 30 Best Backwoods Horror flicks, and of course, a few Honorable Mentions thrown in for good measure. Keep in mind that no "Best of" list is ever perfect, but merely a solid starting point for anyone looking to watch some great flicks.
The last 6 being "Honorable Mentions".

Movies within the genre of horror, sci fi, fantasy or mystery.
Mostly low budget or at least not very well known.
Not all of them are necessarily good, but interesting in their own way if you approach with the right mindset.

<p>Because you can only watch <i>It's a Wonderful Life</i> and <i>Miracle on 34th Street</i> so many times. </p><p>In chronological order. I'm mostly ignoring cult favorites that - while bizarre - are still basically trite, family-oriented Christmas fare (such as <i>Santa Claus Conquers the Martians</i> or <i>Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny</i>). Also, note that some of the films listed here may not take place entirely during the holiday season, but instead open around Christmastime, build to a Christmas ending, etc. (A few of them double as New Year's Eve movies, too.) Christmas must be part of the movie's in-universe plot or setting; having a Christmas release date doesn't count.</p>

<p>Psychological horror is a subgenre of horror and psychological fiction with a particular focus on mental, emotional, and psychological states to frighten, disturb, or unsettle its audience. The subgenre frequently overlaps with the related subgenre of psychological thriller, and often uses mystery elements and characters with unstable, unreliable, or disturbed psychological states to enhance the suspense, drama, action, and paranoia of the setting and plot and to provide an overall unpleasant, unsettling, or distressing atmosphere.</p>

<p>Found these lists (twelve total which I've compiled) a couple years back and they slowly became my bible for weird or interesting movies to watch. All credit goes to Listal user Jay Trotter (https://jaytrotter.listal.com/lists) who originally made them, I've included his original reviews as well.</p>
