Posting this to see what movies you all have watched and enjoyed, but no one else you know has ever heard of it.
To start with mine, since I've never met another person who knows about this movie, Kafka released in 1991 starring Jeremy Irons. The only reason I know about it is because it's mentioned in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac #3. It's obviously inaccurate to Kafka's life and works but it's a really enjoyable watch for me.
1991.
A favorite little obscurity of mine, and i feel even in the weird horror b-movie crowd, is very under appreciated.
now, i could say all the cliche "underground" or niche movies, from Salo, to paris texas, to maniac, to audition, to riki oh, but those are popular within the "movie goer" community, they just weird and unknown to total normies.
However , if you did mean those..................
i could go on for fucking ever with that shit.
but ill try to stick to semi deep cuts sorta..
2nd. 
1994.
maybe gaining some fame lately but still, even by people who know like braindead or bad taste, they often dont know this one sometimes,
and i also consider it a huge undersung gem of its type. 
1985
To step away from the gross or scary here for a sec. i never hear about this from anyone else, and it is lovely, its got strong ghibli vibes, but if ghibli was slightly lynchian.
It is beautiful, whimsical and a little dark, and i cant suggest it enough. it feels like dreaming. 
2009
Dont let the looks decieve you. this at first appears like a cheap ass slasher piece of crap made with just good looking people and a cheap ass budget and shit writers that you would expect out of unimpressive straight to dvd low effort schlock of the early 2000s.
but it will surprise you. i promise you. look nothing up about it, and dont get discouraged by the start and early movie. it builds into fun stuff.
def underrated, and at first looks like total crap but it will surprise you. 
(1985)
just a fun "two troubled teen boys go on a bender in LA that leads to increasing intensity of criminal activity" movie.
Nice glimpse into the area at the time. And just kind of a timecapsule escapism.
if you were too young to be there (i wasnt born yet for a short bit) lets you envision a crazy bender in 1985 LA. and thats my sort of thing, i dig that, maybe its yours... 
"le casa muda"
2010.
Uncut traversal of a spooky as fuck house during a home invasion while you stay with the girl in danger.
Absolute gold. (bit of a silly end maybe but dont worry about it still worth it)
There was an american remake. wasnt too bad,
but i would have to say the original is far superior still. specially the environment.
you will need subtitles, it is uraguayan.
And in my opinion, pretty fuckin dope.
@⸸⸸⸸𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖌𝖆𝐳𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖓⸸⸸⸸ Oh my god I completely forgot I've seen Cemetery Man! I saw it once when I was like 14 with my uncle. The others definitely look interesting as well
@smokingintheshop
its a fun one fosho :) and glad to be of service.
I've been meaning to watch the boneyard. so cool
Def recommend. If you in to that type of old-school b movie horror I think you will love it
- gummo
- trash humpers
- man bites dog
- cube
- the wizard
@max Cube is goated
I don't think it gets much more obscure than Rise Dharuriser. Out of all the films I've seen at least.
@GillFilmReviews21 Now this I've never heard of in my life, have to check it out lol
@smokingintheshop yeah lol, i originally started out looking for the most obscure films I could before shifting to an easier to handle niche.
this movie is one of my favorites personally, it didnt do that well tbh but i LOVED it
im not sure how obscure these are, but i have never met another person outside of who introduced me that knew these
"butcher baker nightmare maker" was so strange but i do now jokingly use it to introduce myself to people sometimes, "nekromantik" is such an artsy little freak film, and "frankenhooker" is so funny i love the little one liners
A favorite of mine, and an absolute must-watch for every artist of every kind. Heart breaking and eye opening both!
Does Cannibal Holocaust count as underground?
@herbalpoison this one is pretty well known
ive seen that this franquice has some recognition online but ive never actually met a mononoke fan. so im sharing its movies..!!
Mononoke: Phantom in the Rain
Mononoke: Ashes of Rage
Both movies have great animation, visuals and messages. These movies are mean to be a trilogy, but the third one hasn't released on our side yet.
Ichi the Killer
Type of movie you see on a random edit 😭
I don't recommend it at all but if you're into fucked up and gory stuff you wouldn't be disappointed. It also has a precuel called 1-Ichi
Baby me has probably seen this movie more times than anyone on this planet.
If you are into Found Footage Horror and want to explore Asian Horror, definitely go check out this film! Its the greatest Indonesian Horror in my opinion
Keramat / Sacred
Directed by Monty Tiwa, 2009.
Engineering red, if you're interested in medical stuff..and atleast know some bit of russian...This might aswell interest you, if you don't mind movies that are about 2 hours long. It also has some strange psychidelic visuals, if that's also your thing
