I never really get super scared from horror movies and when they toe the line of actual fear and hilarity. Deathly funny

I am someone who says they hate horror yet all my favourite films are horror films. This is because I have a very specific type of film I love. I don’t particularly like to be scared, I don’t like harrowing gloomy horror, I don’t like jump scares. i dont like extreme violence (when it’s realistic, I don’t mind silly gore). I have no interest in watching kids get their heads smashed in or whatever. I LOVE a good concept, I love highly stylish and stylised films, good set design and costumes. I love when things just feel a bit like…weird and off centre? With that in mind here are a few of my favourite films (they’re all horror but they’re also just the best films). I’ve also attached a link to my list on letterboxd, it’s not just horror but like all films that to me feel like high concept weirdness? It’s a vibe thing 🤷🏻♀️
Sci-fi horror:
Annihilation
Donnie Darko
Under the Skin
The Substance (i am partial to a silly body horror)
A Cure for Wellness (this one also fits under Gothic Horror too)
Get Out (also has moments of horror comedy)
Horror comedy:
Jennifer’s Body (probably my all time favourite film)
what we do in the Shadows
The Love Witch
Cabin in the Woods
Fresh
Gothic Horror:
Bones and All
Byzantium
Crimson Peak
Only Lovers Left Alive (I would argue this isnt even a horror at all but its a vampire film so I guess it counts)
Then these are a few others that still (to me) have the same vibe but I can’t categorise them as easily:
Shirley (possibly gothic?)
The green knight (isn’t quite a horror but has horror elements)
Promising young Woman (has horror comedy elements but is also just far too painful to be a comedy)
Nightmare Alley (also probably gothic?)
Horse Girl (quite similar to Donnie Darko imo, but plays more on the insanity route to be called a sci-fi)
Parasite (this is called a comedy but like…is it really?!)
Saltburn (also kind of gothic kind of comedy)
Two honorary mentions I will say that might deviate a little is It Follows (which does have some jump scares and is genuinely terrifying but is high concept and weird vibey enough for me to love it) and Midsommar (which has a lot more intense violence than I usually enjoy but is again great concept and isn’t dark and jumpy).

having girl bffs is so important - i cant even think of anything better … maintaining sisterhood is literally the 8th wonder of the world … i am incomplete without supportive female friendships … i can live with having only 5 friends if it means they’re the best 5 girls in the universe

been journaling for awhile and its been a tool for creativity and unwinding after a longgg day. but having a larger journal with many pages can be daunting so i would recommend a pocket journal of some sort and ur fav pen (even fun stickers and photos) so u can take it with u on the go and not feel too intimidated. i love writing what i just witnessed, immediate thoughts, and literally anything for memory keeping or reflection. im on my third pocket journal now and although i havent been consistent its been something i do look forward to revisiting all the time 💓
