If you want a horror film (no ghosts) that mentally challenges you try this.....
Watch the unrated version though.

Gets good reviews, think I've seen the key scene before.

Yeah, the Spanish Version, it comes alive at the end but I've seen quite a few scarier films.

Another classic by the makers of paranormal investigation, again no ghosts but an epic watch.

Looks good, in the mold of Grotesque, Audition and Sushi Girl.

I'd list the banned The Bunny Game but that is utter dross.

Watched Evidence tonight, wow. Totally caught out again by a film starting off with bad acting and low budget. The last 20 mins encompasses every horror film ever made.

The Old Boy (I think it's Korean) is an utter masterpiece.

A friend mentioned that film to me the other day, they said it stays with you.

I watched Ghost Magnet last night, crap.

Just watched The Borderlands, good god. No wonder Mark Kermode wanted to leave the theater.

It gets the tension up with cheap shocks and disturbing scenes then hits you with genuine spookiness. I must admit I put my hand over my eyes a few times.

I am not sure if I mentioned "Under The Skin" but it's worth another mention.
Whiplash was pretty good, watched it last night with the misses.

Belly of the beast lol was a fairly good watch with a couple of jumpy moments

Another movie you need a tough head for is "the divide" from french director Xavier Gens who directed the awesome frontiers.
The greatest apocalyptic movie ever made, a movie that pushes boundaries to the limits.
Buy the uncut American bluray version from amazon only a tenner, it's a double dvd/bluray edition so you can watch the dvd on region 1.
Divide [Blu-ray] [2012] [US Import]: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Biehn, Courtney B. Vance, Milo Ventimiglia, Ashton Holmes, Lauren German: DVD & Blu-ray Divide [Blu-ray] [2012] [US Import]: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Biehn, Courtney B. Vance, Milo Ventimiglia, Ashton Holmes, Lauren German: DVD & Blu-ray

A film you will not regret watching.

I watched that a while back, and you are right, it does grab your attention, but I really didn't like it.

On another note, I've just watched 'Basic'. Had never even heard of it, but I was channel hopping and thought I'd give it a go, not really expecting much, but I quite enjoyed it.

Without sounding sexist lol the divide is not really a date night movie, I know my missis would hate it so watched on my own.
Will google basic

Nice list, some classics in there for sure.
I own 17 of your 39 although I wouldn't of put borderlands or dogtooth in there.
I would of put martyrs in the top spot( cause I love it)
Would of also put the cannibal of Rotterdam in there.
As I stated earlier in this thread "a Serbian film" was definitely a tough watch, glad I watched it but never again lol

I'll put it in!

The burning screaming lamb on Borderlands was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. The two likable leads getting digested in a stomach was tough too. I think it's a tough watch because it plays out more like a drama like Martyrs and Irreversible rather than out and out horror...

Yeah borderlands was a good film, it's amazing what they managed to achieve with a tight budget, british horror is always much better than the American dross.
