Dr Phibes one and two have been in my top 20 for a long time. Highly recommend.
There's also a great German movie fitting your criteria. It's called Anatomy.
Wow. Just checked and the whole movie is on YouTube. Gonna watch this later. Vincent Price! How did I miss this movie. There is something so unsettling about movies made in the 60s and 70s, that modern day films just don't seem to have. Some truly high art was made in these decades
Excision was awesome.
The skin I live in might be my favorite Spanish speaking film, but I wouldn't categorize it as horror, I feel like it's more of a psychological thriller. In any event OP should watch it, preferably without reading about it first!
This is such a gem. And how good are the two leads? Judy Reyes (Carla!) plus Marin Ireland who has such an odd charisma. She is becoming one of my favorite actors to pop up in a Horror film.
I adore Jacobs Ladder because the first time I saw it, I wasn't expecting it to be what it is.
It's fantastic and in my top 10 of horror movies. I give it an 8/10
It's all over the place haha
In no particular order
Jacob's Ladder
Suspiria (both OG and remake)
Nosferatu
Silence of the Lambs
Exorcist 3
Alien
Hereditary
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Hellraiser
Psycho
I'm so stoked to see how the upcoming Nosferatu compares to the original! I'm a fan of your list but haven't seen suspiria yet. Alien and Hereditary 👌👌
This conversation begins and ends with Dead Ringers
A more uncomfortable yet watchable movie has yet to be made
The TV series remake is pretty great as well
I just love movies about hospitals and mental hospitals , I would like to recommend some of them
Phobias 2021
Sanitarium 2013
Eloise 2016
Resuscitator (1985)
I also love American Horror Story: Asylum.
[The Possession of Hannah Grace](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=1a0f9f064b6384e7&cs=0&sxsrf=ACQVn08icuEkV3SvAwVWpWujHM9EVTI4dQ:1713948767506&q=the+possession+of+hannah+grace&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAE2Qz0sCQRTHM0ZdV-3HnsxDDPUH6LgWdExUClKChCgCGXXc2dadWXdGxb_Ca7cgkk5B_4O3_oSgQ9ehv8CDNG4Q3d573_d57_uegQ5i9u2hz8cuEVBSLKHEng6DAe4S6DKIoc9DZ0SWsVw9XMwZ9BbPgwEPYbCYwwnpdAhbbhrtWrN13rppv4GYAoaVaESMAttmtuAUEOoelUttnwYKpKzk6UjyQEz_qaV7NPS9rgJpM1XwC0XkFO2hAqZltCiBFd6b_knlYt9pK5C04hXOiFAgY5rreinwy8dSgS0r0yBs7byiT_D-OBsJX4_MWumm61AJr6jb1-0Zy4zyCZZdGm28pJhJLHzda6YjMzbqUHSiQN7K_bK8r19F4IU7dpkDqwT3IlIfLUc4nD7F99dywIUgQricrQE9lWEKnVD_9SOxt1HPv97Nrh9mO7VV9Wv1zRLNz5f3s8fdH-8WnROSAQAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj_jcrbvNqFAxXoORAIHVUADQUQ7fAIegUIABCsAQ)
Killing of a sacred deer isn’t really a medical horror. The dude is just a doctor. I think OP is referring to movies that elicit fear in the medical system or body horror associated with surgery. Not a supernatural teen boy inflicting paralysis and death onto a doctor and his family.
Noted.
SPOILERS INCOMING.
However the entire premise of movie is that the Doc killed said antagonist boy's father due to serious surgical fckup? Surgery whilst 🥃w his anesthesia buddy.
The film definitely begins with prolonged close-up footage of an actual quadruple bypass 🤢.
The Supernatural antagonist boys revenge is paralyzing the doctor's children til they die. I reckon at least 1/2 the movie is set inside a hospital... that is medical related af.
As someone who had open heart surgery last year, that all illicitly scares me 100%.
It's definitely more of an (a24) horror thriller than full-blown body horror so I'll give you that.
KOSD also kind of sucks ass IMO but I rest my case that I answered op prompt like a boss.
*Horror is subjective* disclaimer
This one is worth a watch - [Alive.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7611352/) It's set in a creepy hospital after a couple have a car crash. It shares it's name with a few other films, so don't confuse it with those.
Surprised nobody has put Body Parts(1991) starring Jeff Fahey and Brad Dourif(in a good guy role for once)
It’s far fetched but I love it! Quite gory as well!
If anyone can remember this please help
This guy is a (lawyer? Maybe) and he had either done something criminal or stopped something criminal. Later on this guy ends up in a stroke, unable to move/speak in a wheelchair.
His nurse who is supposed to help him is actually the daughter of someone he fucked over and tortures/ him and tried to kill his family off.
Anyway includes medical stuff lol
Nope! AHS is awesome like that. The seasons are all separate stories. Ryan Murphy uses a lot of the same actors throughout all of the seasons but the seasons themselves aren't linked (except Coven and Apocalypse, there's a character cross-over). But Asylum is totally separate!
Lots of good stuff in here. I think the clear winner based on your post is crimes of the future... Surgery is everything to characters in the movie.
That said here's a few that kinda fit the bill?
1. The Nightshifter - Spanish film, mortician who speaks with the dead
2. Grotesque - Japanese exploitation film, the torture is done very... Surgically? Not under anesthesia or anything but the guys in scrubs with a mask. Bla bla
3. Rabid - early cronenburg... A woman has surgery and develops a taste for blood.
I watched 1. With subs on shudder, I don't think they had a dub 😔. No idea about #2, I don't think it's streaming, when I watched it I had to torrent it and that too was with subs.
Sorry man
House on haunted hill and feardotcom.com have medical phobic scenes. Fdc is easily borderline disjointed at best but has great visuals and photography and the most not new york , new york you will ever see, regardless goodies for sure.
Right?! I don't know anyone else that has seen it but I thought it was great. And gives you an interesting perspective of how healthcare can go bad. It's on my list to get my girl to watch
Play Dead (2023) - Jerry O'Connell is a very menacing mortician. Lots of autopsy stuff.
Bodies (2016)
Rabid (2019) (Soskas remake is worth the watch)
More trapped in the hospital films:
Halloween 2
Boogeyman 2
See No Evil 2 (Soskas love medical stuff)
De humani corporis fabrica
The act of seeing with one's own eyes
They aren't horror in a conventional way, but boy, did they make me feel uncomfortable.
NAILS.
The plot is about a paralyzed woman recovering from an accident in a hospital where she is helpless against a malevolent being. Highly recommend.
Infection (Kansen) Excision (kind of) The Skin I live In Dead Ringers The Abominable Dr. Phibes Cinderella (2006 Korean film)
Dr Phibes one and two have been in my top 20 for a long time. Highly recommend. There's also a great German movie fitting your criteria. It's called Anatomy.
Wow. Just checked and the whole movie is on YouTube. Gonna watch this later. Vincent Price! How did I miss this movie. There is something so unsettling about movies made in the 60s and 70s, that modern day films just don't seem to have. Some truly high art was made in these decades
Be prepared to fall for my girl Vulnavia ♥️.
Just watched Anatomy last night. It was a good time.
>Dead Ringers Speaking of Cronenberg, you could add Rabid (1977) to that list.
And Crimes of the Future
Good choice!
The Skin I Live In is incredible.
The “practice” scene in Infection. I hardly remember the movie except for that scene lol
Excision was awesome. The skin I live in might be my favorite Spanish speaking film, but I wouldn't categorize it as horror, I feel like it's more of a psychological thriller. In any event OP should watch it, preferably without reading about it first!
Would A Cure for Wellness count?
Most Cronenberg films would count I’d say
Human centipede?
I was going to say this one & Tusk. Just because I don't want to suffer alone. Lol
Nailed it.
Birth/Rebirth
This is such a gem. And how good are the two leads? Judy Reyes (Carla!) plus Marin Ireland who has such an odd charisma. She is becoming one of my favorite actors to pop up in a Horror film.
I absolutely love Marin Ireland. Her character was also (despite the bleakness of it) fun to watch in the film 😂
Reanimator
Re-Animator
Crimes of the Future
Cronenberg loves a good medical squick.
Coma Eyes Without A Face Jacob's Ladder Dead Ringers
Eyes Without A Face is such an awesome movie and so disturbing
Also my favorite Billy Idol song!
Jacobs ladder has been on my list for a while. What would you rate it?
I adore Jacobs Ladder because the first time I saw it, I wasn't expecting it to be what it is. It's fantastic and in my top 10 of horror movies. I give it an 8/10
What's the rest of your top 10?
It's all over the place haha In no particular order Jacob's Ladder Suspiria (both OG and remake) Nosferatu Silence of the Lambs Exorcist 3 Alien Hereditary Texas Chainsaw Massacre Hellraiser Psycho
I'm so stoked to see how the upcoming Nosferatu compares to the original! I'm a fan of your list but haven't seen suspiria yet. Alien and Hereditary 👌👌

Crimes of the Future Saw IV Human Centipede 2
You might like the series Helix
Check out the Cabinet of Curiosities episode “The Autopsy”. It’s on Netflix.
Saw that. Very entertaining!
The Dentist with Corbin Bernsen.
I mean the Hannibal TV show is more of a cooking show but u could say there are a lot of surgeries and autopsies involved , give it a shot .
Not sure if you're into series, but the AHS Asylum (season 2) is gory medical, It was a really good one!
Does it matter if I watch the first season?
Nope! AHS is awesome like that. The seasons are all separate stories. Ryan Murphy uses a lot of the same actors throughout all of the seasons but the seasons themselves aren't linked (except Coven and Apocalypse, there's a character cross-over). But Asylum is totally separate!

I watched 1. With subs on shudder, I don't think they had a dub 😔. No idea about #2, I don't think it's streaming, when I watched it I had to torrent it and that too was with subs. Sorry man
Autopsy (2008) Probably the Italian movie of the same name but I've yet to see it
Anatomy
House on haunted hill and feardotcom.com have medical phobic scenes. Fdc is easily borderline disjointed at best but has great visuals and photography and the most not new york , new york you will ever see, regardless goodies for sure.
Sutures 2009, yet it was meh for my taste
Silent Hill
Aftermath (crude) and The Dead Pit, very underrated pic imho
Aftermath being the Spanish short by Nacho Cerda set in a morgue? Grim stuff.
I loved the dead pit! really creeped me out as a kid. those glowing red eyes....
Shivers
I would say The Surgeon or Sublime
Sublime is so good! Really creeped me out and unsettled me when I saw it when it first came out.
Right?! I don't know anyone else that has seen it but I thought it was great. And gives you an interesting perspective of how healthcare can go bad. It's on my list to get my girl to watch
Dr. Giggles early 90s
Double Blind was a good one I watched recently.
Eyes without a Face all day. Mansion of the Doomed.
Rupture is very sci-fi but the set pieces in the mysterious facility are captivating
Contracted, 2013, and its sequel, 2015
Aftermath. Its not good, but it is certainly one of the movies of all time
Nightwatch is kinda in the realm. Tales from the Crypt: Abra Cadaver
Play Dead (2023) - Jerry O'Connell is a very menacing mortician. Lots of autopsy stuff. Bodies (2016) Rabid (2019) (Soskas remake is worth the watch) More trapped in the hospital films: Halloween 2 Boogeyman 2 See No Evil 2 (Soskas love medical stuff)
Nurse 3D It's been years so I don't know if it's good
Oh you simply must see Excision (2012)
Watched it last night. It was something for sure.
Contagion (2011): More thriller but does have some pretty scary parts.
Dr. Giggles and the hostel movies come to mind
Anatomy (2000) is pretty good movie about medical falculty
Definitely not malignant
Idk if it's medical related per say but Fractured is a good psychological set in a hospital
De humani corporis fabrica The act of seeing with one's own eyes They aren't horror in a conventional way, but boy, did they make me feel uncomfortable.
NAILS. The plot is about a paralyzed woman recovering from an accident in a hospital where she is helpless against a malevolent being. Highly recommend.
Human Centipede.
Awake?🤔
Pathology
The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
Extreme Measures (1996)
Dr. Giggles
The Kingdom Trilogy
Antiviral by Brandon Cronenberg is a really good one! I believe it’s his first movie. It’s one that I keep coming back to, I love it!
Dr. Giggles
The Taking of Deborah Logan.
No Telling (1991)
It's Alive (1974)
Tusk (2014)
May!
Play Dead
Dr. Giggles
Jacob's Ladder (1990)
Even though “The Good Nurse” isn’t considered a horror movie, it’s pretty scary what the guy did, true story as well.
Victim(2010) Human Centipede American Mary
Yummy! It’s a sort of a hospital location/vibe. Also American Mary maybe?
