I like the Jessica beil version of Texas chainsaw, which ironically, I'll be visiting the town the house is in tomorrow.
That movie was good for what it was but it left me feeling something I cannot explain, I suppose a combination of depression (not literal) and a strong reason to never go through Texas even If it is 500 miles out of my way to Florida that is one state I will never go to. This being a testament to the movie for having that much impact.
An American pioneer was the supposed inspiration of the movie:

Another movie Martyrs (2007) had a impact on me as well and that is to make sure this never happens to anyone if I can help it. Like I said I take these movies seriously and that movie made me think that this happened to family members and If there is a way, in any way, this will not happen at any cost with a razor sharp Katana if necessary. "Watch at your own risk" or "Abandon hope all ye who enter here", it is that foul.
The House That Jack Built (2018) was good, the ending was one of the most interesting I have seen. granted a bit crime, serial killer themed, it still has an interesting narrative of Jacks mental state as he explores his evil side. Do we all have this dark side, deep in our hearts and souls type thing.
I like to see supernatural, occult and demonic horror films, I have never been into slashers and that genre has been bloated for so long, there is hardly room for anything original. Also, human depravity movies like Hostile or Saw kind of make me sick and wish I lived on another planet because they are all too real.
For older movies,
Repulsion (1965)
Suspria (1977)
Deep Red (1975)
Dementia 13 (1963)
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) and Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972)
One movie that is re-watchable Is Stanley Kubrick's, The Shining (1980).
For a laugh you could watch The Evil Dead series (the ones with Bruce Campbell), the Evil Dead (1981), The Evil Dead II (1987) and Army Of Darkness (1992).
Rob Zombie has and interesting take on the Halloween movies that I recommend but watch both 1 and 2 to really get it what he was trying to do with the series. Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009)
