Originally posted on r/MovieSuggestions on March 6, 2021. Changed list link to archive link due to the original link now being dead.

Inspired by a list from IMDb, curated by Dr. Unken (https://web.archive.org/web/20210306111226/https://www.imdb.com/list/ls031142976/), I am in search of other films that have a similar tone to the films in that list. You can recommend me anything, even if the film is the same from that list. They can be in any genre and the language can be English or a foreign language.

Examples of such films include:

  • "Martyrs" (2008) (In French with English subtitles)
  • "Funny Games" (1997) (In German with English subtitles)
  • "Possessor" (2020)
  • "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (2011)
  • "You Were Never Really Here" (2017)
  • "Dragged Across Concrete" (2018)
  • "Green Room" (2015)
  • "Manhunter" (1986)
  • "Nightcrawler" (2014)
  • "Kill List" (2011)
  • "Enter the Void" (2009)
  • "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father" (2008)
  • "Blue Ruin" (2013)
  • "Requiem for a Dream" (2000)
  • "Antichrist" (2009)

This is probably the most dark and depressing movie, but mainly because it's realistic. A recent Behind the Bastards podcast mentioned this movie, as it seems some events in this movie were based on the actions of a Nazi who was very into his job. This movie is told from the Russian point of view.

I can't really say I'm glad I watched it, but it feels more like watching a crime in progress than something you'd watch for any kind of entertainment. Things like Grave of the Fireflies are a punch in the feels for sure, but this movie is just brutal with no kind of beauty or anything rewarding at all.

I watch tons of horror and war movies and enjoy feeling melancholy now and then, but I'm good on never watching this again. The fire and cow scenes are forever burned in my brain though.

I agree with you. I can't say I'm glad I watched it either. But I agree 100% on never watching it again.

I listen to behind the bastards podcast, but I skip around. Do you remember what episode they talked about this movie?
