Nothing too new or original here, but it's got some likeable characters as well as a powertool-wielding corpse. Overall very rewatchable.

A girl gets off work and is picked up by a strange man, taken home and killed. Then she wakes up at work. Repeat a few times, getting weirder and creepier each time. One of my favorites.
The Dark HoursThe Dark Hours

Great psychological horror about a doctor and her family terrorized by a patient of hers while on vacation at a cabin.
Black HouseBlack House
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.76
Korean flick about an insurance investigator looking into a series of mysterious deaths in a family. Takes a few twists and ends up pretty gory.
The LostThe Lost
Buy new: $24.49 / Used from: $3.41
Story of a sociopath's early life. Great acting and a pretty brutal finale.

Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.35
A group of people get stuck in an inn in rural france run by nazis. One of the better offerings by the ADHF group.
Cold PreyCold Prey
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.62
Great slasher from Norway. Extremely tense. One of the best slashers I've seen in recent years.
Session 9Session 9
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.04
Possibly not too overlooked, thought I'd include it anyway. Best psychological horror I've ever seen. Set in an old asylum, light on the gore. Great atmosphere.
Dead MaryDead Mary
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $1.00
An unusually slow start to this one leaves lots of time for character development. Not great by any means, but pretty good. Like a simpler version of Evil Dead.
SheitanSheitan
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $2.74
Slow burner from France about a twisted rural family getting a hold of some city kids. Part deliverance, part TCM. Great acting by Vincent Cassel in the main role. One of the best foreign horrors I've seen in a long time.
The LocalsThe Locals
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.12
Great horror from New Zealand about a couple kids ending up out in the sticks. Sorry, to say much more would ruin it. Really creepy atmosphere in this one.
CookersCookers
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $4.57
Low budget movie about a couple who set up a meth lab in an abandoned house. Very creepy. Great acting. Great sense of paranoia.
Dark RemainsDark Remains
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.74
Nothing too original here. Included in this list because the pace is good and it's got some really great jump-out-of-your-seat scares.
