Religious horror in particular is of interest to me, as is found footage, but I'm open to any suggestions.

I haven't really been watching much horror lately but i usually use spookyrice/foundflix videos for ideas and if it looks good at a glance i'll watch it
That said, the foundflix guy definitely has some biases although he's not as outright as deadmeat james talking about fucking george floyd
As far as religious horror goes though, borderlands/final prayer takes place in a church, i thought it was kind of boring paranormal movie but the final segment is worth watching the movie for.
Terrified was fantastic, its spanish so you have to read subtitles, its getting an american version but i don't trust them with it
Countdown is a really dumb idea executed pretty decently.
The hatchet franchise are good slasher flicks.
Black coat's daughter isn't bad, might fall into religious, less about the faith and more good versus evil though
Taking of deborah logan is pretty good
The final girls is fantastic but its pretty much a dark comedy
But whatever you do don't ever watch savageland, that movie is dogshit that still gets glowing praise probably because its blatant propaganda that has maybe one decent scary moment and the rest is a bunch of people blaming a single illegal immigrant for somehow magically wiping out a town even though its fucking impossible.
Another vote for Terrified (Aterrados). It's like Lovecraftian cosmic horror in contemporary Argentina. It gave me the creeps, which few films can.
I liked, but didn't love The Blackcoat's Daughter. I figured out where it was going pretty quickly. There are things about it I thought were interesting, but to talk about them would mean spoilers.
I mostly avoid found footage type films, but I thought Taking of Deborah Logan was good.
Color out of Space is Lovecraft, and is suitably freaky. Also, Nic Cage goes full Nic Cage.
DeadTectives was a pretty clever and funny horror/comedy. Fun. Way better than I expected.
Scare Package is a horror/comedy anthology that is very meta, pretty funny, and has a lot of practical gore effects.
The Changeling is a classic haunted house movie, if you can tolerate the slower pace of movies from the 1970's.
Avoid "The Power" unless you want to see a technically competent, atmospheric film totally undermined by comically mega-woke story. Every man in the film is awful. Every woman is a victim of men.
