The closest to horror movies I get into these days are Hitchcock and M. Night Shyamalan (his thrillers, not Airbender or After Earth)...I still found Blair Witch Project scary despite the bare minimum approach.
I don't even go that far although I find Blair Witch to be bland and boring. I'm dedicated to only viewing material that makes me feel happy.

Here is another one for horror lovers.
Spring is a unique cross-genre film. The strange combination of love and horror makes it different. It kind of reminded me of Monsters, an independent I saw in theaters a few years back. At sometimes it is sweet and beautiful, and then the movie switches gears to something dark and grotesque. The transformations between the two actually works, which honestly at the end you wonder how the writers made it. Pucci (Evan) and Hilker (Louise) have wonderful chemistry throughout the whole film. The location of a small town in Italy was perfect for the mood of a you spring love with a very dark secret. I won't get too much into the plot because it is a great movie and if you can handle the gore I would hate to ruin it for anyone. It is on Amazon Prime right now, so see it before they take it down. I will probably buy it because I would re-watch it or I would love to show it to my fellow horror lovers.

Here is a comedy.
I adore this movie. It was hilarious and honest. Donna (Slate) was an amazing character that is still trying to work things out in life. She goes through some common issues such as a break up, difficulties with her mom, and waking up after a drunk one night stand. The entire time between the doctors visit and the abortion she was not torn between to have it or not, it was whether she should tell Sam (Cross) who is the father. She constantly pushes him away until she finally confesses in her comedy act making a heart felt declaration. Even the whole encounter with her mom, which turned out to be understanding and loving, didn't question the abortion. A strong feminist film that reflects the realities of the time and the necessary options women need to fight to keep.
