Would you count Session 9 in the same category? I always come back to that for its creepy vibes.

I think I would, with a caveat for the ending. I have a couple on here with caveats, like It Follows (warning for the first gnarly scene, then it’s gore-free sailing). So the blood in the finale…Session 9 is one of my favorites.

Very fair. I think I might note that there's a category of movies like this, where the main thing is the boo, not the goo. I think we share an interest in those types of films.

For me, some gore is okay, but it needs to push the story along. The creepy and unsettling vibes are the thing, not the blood and stuff. If the gore operates in service of the more important stuff, it's cool with me.
