I have tried to find some myself, yes, and it felt like I’d seen most of them, but I naturally have endless blind spots. By ‘new’ in this instance I mean post-2019, give or take, but it’s not a hard-and-fast rule so if something is older but sufficiently obscure and sufficiently weird, then please do recommend it! My heart longs for more Lynch and all that, I suppose, but I am actually looking for a newer ‘brand’ of weird films, à la Swallowed (2022), Poor Things (although Lanthimos feels almost obvious at this point and I’ve seen all this stuff, which yes I do mostly like), etc.
Please recommend new weird films
Is this actually worthwhile? Colour me intrigued.
It's old but if you haven't seen it.... Gummo (1997)

The Substance (2024)
Edit: ah, I was wrong about that! Will try to see it on the big screen tomorrow.

Massively looking forward to this but still not quite accessible here, as far as I know.

You like body horror? Because it's not an easy movie to watch if you aren't into that

I second Sorry to Bother You and The Lighthouse.
The Platform (2019) might fit your bill.
High Life (2018) is on the edge of your parameters, but I think it's worth your while.
Going a bit further, Beyond the Black Rainbow (2010), from Panos Cosmatos (Mandy), really stuck with me.
The Perfection (2018) is not perfect (no pun intended), but if you walk in blind, you might be pleasantly surprised... in a weird, icky way.

Looks like Sorry to Bother You really is a blind spot — hoping to watch that tonight.
