The Empty Man quickly became one of my favorites. I highly recommend it, and the less you know the better. I'll have to try out some of the rest of these. Hopefully there's some similar gems in there.

I've gotta watch Hausu again, I feel like I remember most of it but could not tell you the order in which it happens. God bless Kung-Fu and her sicknasty theme.

As a fan of arthouse cinema and horror I have to say that Titane was one of the wackiest movies I ever watched, and not in a good way. I was warned going in that it was a complete waste of time but I thought ok, different strokes for different folks. Unfortunately, it really was very, very bad.
I can wholeheartedly recommend The Possessor and Men, though. Very different films but both were very enjoyable.
For me Titane definitely delivered the most intense "Wait. What did I just watch?" response when walking out of the cinema that year. I agree that the movie as a whole does not deliver, but being...
For me Titane definitely delivered the most intense "Wait. What did I just watch?" response when walking out of the cinema that year. I agree that the movie as a whole does not deliver, but being so wack and still being able to keep my attention until the end does count for something. Parts of the story were well done, I think. Calling it a complete waste of time is exaggerating.
I absolutely loved Pulse when I watched it! I was dealing heavily with some loneliness and how to process it at the time, the movie absolutely hit me where it hurts. I haven't seen any of the...
I absolutely loved Pulse when I watched it! I was dealing heavily with some loneliness and how to process it at the time, the movie absolutely hit me where it hurts. I haven't seen any of the other films on the list, but A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night sounds very interesting.

If anyone is a fan of found footage I recommend checking out Noroi: The Curse(2005) I believe it is available on Shudder. The production is a little rough; however, I feel that the rough aesthetic really works with mid 00s internet/ripped-DVD-style setting.

minor spoiler for later into the series
They tie into the story of Occult.

This isn't found footage, but falls into the category of lesser-known J-horror (and I think you might like it, given that you like Noroi and Occult): Shikei dotto netto, it's about a website you can join to request a murder but you have to do one too. I loved it and never see it mentioned much

As a diehard horror fan, I can vouch for A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night and Kairo (Pulse). Hausu (House) from 1977 is too comedic/goofy to be considered a 'horror' film honestly. My recommendation would be Exorcist III - AKA 'Legion'. Despite the tacked-on Exorcist title mandated by the studio, it's a fantastic film that I love far more than the original. Very slow burn, light on gore and violence (until the last act anyways), but high on creepy visuals and performances. Features easily the best and most effective jump scare of all time, too.

First of all. Hang on. That article was on Digg? How has that place survived all these years?

Occult too is great, from the same director. It's also found footage style, and features a cameo from

Throw Come True in there and you got yourself a list going.

Any of these movies available on the most common streaming sites?
I usually use reelgood.com when I want that kind of information but I think there are other sites as well.
Pulse didn't do it for me, but all others are really good.
Empty Man is the only one I didn't watch. Will do this weekend
