I saw "Room For Rent" (2019) and I had no idea it was a horror movie. I don't like gore, and I like a good story. I think its why I've stayed away from the genre. Although I don't remember gore, I couldn't stand "Rosemary's Baby" despite being a fan of Cassavetes acting (and his directing). There wasn't a lot of movement, the setting was in the house for the most part, but it didn't remind me of all the horrors people around me would discuss. I don't like cliches, and would hope the acting was good. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

| There was a movie inn the early 90's with Jeff Goldblum called Mr. Frost managed to be pretty chilling & disturbing with out any graphic violence or gore ( at least from what I can remember) Sounds like the kind of thing you're talking about. |

Some of my favourite horror films include The Wicker Man (1973), Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Shining, An American Werewolf in London. The Hunger (rather gory and arguable as a true classic), The Omen (gory), Eraserhead, Dead Ringers, Videodrome, Psycho, Nosferatu, The Thing, and in modern ones, Under the Skin, The Babadook, The Witch, Let the Right One In (the Swedish version, Pan's Labyrinth, Antichrist.... Seeing the title, the first that sprang to my mind is The Wicker Man (the 1973 version, not the Nicholas cage version, and some might find it a little cheesy -- I adore this "cult" film). Some don't consider it to be horror film proper, but I classify it as folk horror. The Babadook is a modern one that you might find of interest. |

Creep is a controversial one, but I quite liked it. It definitely has the minimalism you want. The film is a constant build of tension with no gore, and when there finally is violence, it's rather unceremonious. As far as realism, it might be a tad hammier than you want. But I would still recommend. ------------- https://dreamwindow.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My Music
