Horror Gems You HAVEN’T Seen

Overview

Two hosts trade recommendations for horror films they consider underseen or underappreciated—not the usual franchise staples, but not ultra-obscure picks either. Two themes run through the conversation: unsettling isolation and horror that gets under your skin without relying on jump scares.

Film Recommendations

• From Beyond is praised as a strange, playful, Lovecraft-inspired body-horror film. One host is especially amused by its “horny” energy, prompting the other to recommend The Love Witch (2016), a film that looks and feels like a beautifully made ’60s sexploitation movie.
• Stopmotion is described as an uncanny, disturbing meditation on artistic creation and losing control of your work. For more “little dudes,” one host recommends Mad God, briefly fumbling its creator’s name before settling on Phil Tippett.
• Caveat stands out for its eerie atmosphere and a few images that have stayed with the recommender long after watching. Pulse earns similar praise: the hosts admire how its early-2000s take on the internet captures metropolitan loneliness and isolation in a way that still feels current.
• One host recommends an unnamed found-footage film about Vatican investigators looking into paranormal activity at a country church. Its two leads are entertaining, but the finale is what really sticks. The other host hasn’t seen it; the recommender compares finding the film to pulling a “Redbox Charizard,” prompting a Pokémon-themed “shiny Gyarados” joke.
• Antrum is described as genuinely unsettling rather than fun. One host admits they had to stop watching and return to it another day. The co-host promises to check whether that reaction was justified while editing—and jokingly asks to leave in the version that makes the other host look foolish.
• Spree, starring Joe Keery, is recommended as a darkly funny story about a ride-share driver chasing internet fame. The hosts say its portrayal of influencer culture and livestreaming feels increasingly plausible, and praise Keery’s balance of deliberate cringe and unpredictable menace.
• The Strangers gets praise for its grounded, tense home-invasion horror. The killers are frightening precisely because they’re ordinary, and the trapped-at-home atmosphere feels painfully realistic.
• Possum is the final serious pick: a bleak, visually unsettling film recommended especially for fans of David Lynch and Eraserhead. One host calls it a standout while warning that it may not be for everyone.

Wrap-Up

The conversation ends with a gag: one host tries to redirect the whole video toward Digger. The other calls it a shameless Tom Cruise plug and refuses to let the hijack go unchallenged.

People

The hosts are unnamed. Joe Keery and Sean Harris are discussed as actors, but do not appear in the conversation.
