Based on the provided 4chan /hor/ (Horror) thread, here is a categorized list of all the movies and short films that were recommended or highlighted by the users:
🌟 Highly Recommended Feature Films
History of the Occult – Recommended as a "bonafide good rec" (especially as an alternative to Masking Threshold).
La Main du diable (also known as The Devil's Hand or Carnival of Sinners, 1943) – Recommended for fans of Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) and classic devil-themed cinema.
Session 9 – Highly praised ("kino"), specifically noted for its use of an abandoned mental asylum setting.
Blood and Black Lace – Recommended for viewers who enjoy 70s/80s neon lighting aesthetics in horror.
Tenebrae – Recommended as Dario Argento's best film.
The Keep (Grindhouse version) – Recommended for its "kino" visuals and soundtrack, despite some silly tonal elements.
The Old Dark House (1930s) – Recommended as a "quick fix, like a tight little fifty-minute scare."
🎬 Recommended Short Films
Recorded Live (1975) – A student short by the creator of Tremors and Short Circuit. Called "easily the best of this batch" with a demented, vintage vibe.
Viola vs. The Vampire King (2017) – Praised for being shot on 8mm film, giving it a great, grainy, supersaturated aesthetic.
Living Dolls (1980) – Noted for its Twilight Zone-style ending.
Skin Flick (2025), Thresher (2014 & 2016), We Got A Monkey's Paw (2018), Orum (2024), and Copycat (2015) – Also mentioned in a batch of short film reviews (though with mixed reactions, Recorded Live was the standout).
⚠️ Recommended with Caveats / For Specific Tastes
Frankenstein’s Army (2013) – Recommended only if you like cool monsters, gore, and incredible visual design/atmosphere. (Warning: The characters are described as incredibly stupid and incompetent, and the story "sucks ass").
Amityville 3-D – Mentioned as a worthwhile sequel to pair with Amityville II, noting it has "good moments" and a "solid cast," though not as good as the first two.
The Love Witch & The Velvet Vampire – Mentioned as great reference points for a specific 1970s witchcraft aesthetic (plentiful nudity, low gore, stylish).
Pontypool – Described as "good, but also up its own ass somewhat," with a wish that the ending was better. Great for fans of "radio horror."
Undertone – Mentioned as successfully capturing the "radio horror" feeling better than Monolith.
🔍 Notable Mentions (Discussed for Specific Themes)
Found Footage Recommendations: Final Prayer and Leaving DC were explicitly recommended for found-footage fans. (Digging Up The Marrow, The Dark Tapes, and Jeruzalem were also mentioned as recent watches).
Best Depictions of the Devil: Alias Nick Beal and The Devil’s Advocate were posted as top-tier examples of charming/clever devil depictions.
Reanimator – The original is highly regarded in the thread, though users are heavily criticizing the rumored changes in the upcoming remake.
(Note: Movies like "Lookout", "Monolith", and "Masking Threshold" were mentioned in the thread, but were actively criticized or called boring/annoying by the users, so they are excluded from the recommended list.)
