I'm quite taken by "High Tension" (2003) and "Spring" (2014). Those are the immediate two that come to mind. I'll try to think of some others.

Most of the hammer films fit in this category

Yes, they are usually all beautifully shot. Good shout.

Definitely Suspiria. I’m probably going to get laughed at for this one, but I think Silent Hill (2006) is a very beautiful film. I love each and every detail in every scene. I especially love the way the character Rose’s clothes change color throughout the movie. From muted earthy tones in the beginning to blood red by the end of the movie.

I totally agree about Silent Hill. It takes my breath away. So amazing.

I'm glad to see someone else thinks so! Have you ever played the games?

No, I'm not a big video game player. I have seen some that I would like to play, like The Last of Us, Resident Evil, and Dead Space, (and Silent Hill), but so far I have not taken the plunge.

Anyway, yeah, Silent Hill has a certain beauty to it. How would you explain it?? It's partly the mist, with the falling ash everywhere. There is one hell of a lot of ugliness in Silent Hill, but the ugliness is offset by the beauty. There is also a certain philosophical beauty to the overaching sense of cosmic justice... what does the Kim Coates character say about that, it's something like "There's man's justice, and God's... and even the Devil's." Also, some scenes, like near he beginning when Radha Mitchell is just sitting outside in the sunlight with Sharon, are/is beautiful to see. Also the music... lots of things I guess.

Yes, I had forgotten Suspiria. Wonderful use of color.

Now that you mention it., I agree - Silent Hill (2006) is beautiful to look at.

I like all the same things about Silent Hill that you do. It's one of those movies that I wish I could've liked more than I did. It's a visual feast, but fails in terms of the story. It reminded me of Centralia, and I wish it had been more about that.

Angel Heart (1987)
Carrie (1976) has a few really beautiful scenes
This is gonna sound like a joke, but Wishmaster 3 has always been a standout for me, just in terms of the general omnipresence of babes. It has well over the average number of cute girls.

Onibaba (1964)
Don't Look Now (1973)
Suspiria (1977)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)
The Cell (2000)
A Tale of Two Sisters (2003)
Re-cycle (2006)
I Saw The Devil (2010)

I am sure there are loads more Asian movies I've missed that ebossert could fill in..

It is a shame that ebossert doesn't frequent here as much these days.

A Virgin Among The Living Dead (1973)
Anthropophagus (1981)
Where The Dead Go To Die (2012)

I should have put Anthropophagus (1981) on to my list. I really love those sun-drenched horror movies. Who Can Kill a Child? (1976) would be a good example of this.

I haven't seen Where The Dead Go To Die (2012). I will keep an eye out for it.

Beauty is subjective, good cinematography is not.. I found Where The Dead Go To Die to be very lurid and quite horrible to look at either way..

I think they all tie in with each other.. Isn't it all subjective? What is the scale to which good cinematography is measured by, classified by, considered by? Unless one is a scholar of motion-picture photography (I most certainly am not!) - we can only be subjective in our feelings, or opinions. It may sound presumptuous of me - but that is what we are all doing.

Fair point. I just feel some things lean more towards objectivity but yeah it's not presumptuous to think otherwise at all. I understand what you are saying.

The opening of Antichrist has some of the best cinematography in all of cinema let alone just horror IMO. Heartbreaking start to a twisted flick.

Pretty much anything from Mario Bava especially Black Sunday.

Anything in which Guillermo Del Toro has a hand even though the movies themselves are pretty shit bar Pan's labyrinth which is great.

One can say the same about James Wan, cinematographically his movies are nice but mainstream in all other aspects bar Conjuring 2 which rocks.

The Hammer movies especially in atmosphere, setting, costume design. Too bad the theatrical dry acting and slow pace and always the same 2 faces (Cushing and Lee) make it usually a chore to sit through.

These paranormal flicks
The Innocents (1961)
The Haunting (1963)
The Others (2001)
