Any other recommendations? You've hit spot on everytime so far.

I hope you like Autopsy. Despite its IMDB rating, it's a brilliant homage to Grindhouse and splatter films while simultaneously creating a horrifying exploitative gorefest itself. I'm guessing that the low rating is due to a couple of things:
1. If people who aren't horror fans are watching this movie, then they are going to rate it poorly. This isn't for the casual horror fan or the non-horror fan. This really is for horror fans.
2. This truly does pay homage to grindhouse, including the cliched plot (Spring Break gone bad) and some purposefully bad writing... But as soon as you realize that the over-the-top directing and acting are on purpose... It just clicks and falls into place. The gore just escalates to this level of horror that is nearly indescribable.
...
As for more recommendations, I'll throw out another Horrorfest movie (from last year):
Borderland
This movie is hard to describe. What starts off as "another Spring Break movie" turns into a horror-thriller about a cult in Mexico and how it has control over the town. There's blood, there's gore, and there is legitimate creepiness.
People are split with this film (some love it, some find it boring - be warned; it DOES start slow), but I think that it's a genuine horror film.
Also definitely check out the
The Sickest, Gorific, Disturbing and Controversial - HDC's "Visually Challenging" 100 thread. There are a lot of sick movies in there that I haven't even seen. It's a great thread to go through when you're looking for something extreme, cutting edge, and disturbing. Lots of recs in there.
