10 Awesome Horror Movies That Make No Sense Whatsoever

4. Pink Floyd - The Wall

Calling this a horror film might be a teensy bit of a stretch, but there are enough freaky elements of this 1982 surrealistic musical film by the late great Alan Parker to classify it as a psychological horror.

The film was co-written by Roger Waters, bassist of the band Pink Floyd. In case you couldn't already tell, the movie draws inspiration from the group's 1979 album The Wall.

Bob Geldof stars as a man who struggles to come to terms with the death of his father. The wall he builds is emotional as well as physical, as he tries to protect himself from his feelings of grief.

The movie is almost entirely without dialogue, instead being driven along by music. It also features a non-linear narrative structure, being told through a series of flashbacks across the main character's life.

Said life is full of sadness and strangeness in equal measure. There's drug-taking and hallucinations and worms and strange children wearing gas masks. It's all very weird, very nerve-rattling, but all in all, an excellent exploration of how people deal with their feelings.

Definitely don't leave this one alone.
