X (2022)

X (2022) was crazy. A rare horror movie where I actually liked the characters, and rooted for them not to get killed. Set in the 1970s, some young hotties head to rural Texas to shoot a porno. Things are going well, except, their elderly hosts have some issues. Lots of humor, and stars Kid Cudi, as well as the younger sister from the new Scream (Jenna Ortega), among others. Some very, VERY, cringe content-- but a winner overall.

Not as good as House of the Devil (2009), but another success from Ti West.

Last Night in Soho (2021)

 Last Night in Soho (2021) was interesting. I wouldn't say I loved it (it didn't crack my Top 100 list, for example), in part because it wasn't really very scary... it was more a drama/thriller. Also, I wasn't blown away by the solution to the mystery, and finally, I'm tired of the misogynistic portrayal of sex work as inherently degrading. But I enjoyed the 60s dream sequences, and the identity crisis trope is always interesting. Others that do it better are Perfect Blue (1997), Fight Club (1999), Black Swan (2010), and Cam (2018). Thomasin McKenzie sure is a beauty though! And a good actress, I look forward to more from her. Also stars Anya Taylor-Joy, of The Witch (2015) and Split (2016).

Teeth (2007)

 Teeth was... interesting. Someone had to do it!

Repulsion (1965)

Wow, Polanski's 1965 Repulsion is POWERFUL!! Definitely one of the strongest films on this list. Dan pointed out something that I did not know, namely that Polanski himself is a sexual predator, which quite possibly informs this movie's gripping portrayal of one woman's (well-founded) androphobia. Yuck!!
