I just watched a couple of odd horror films.
Why they are odd? May be because I have never seen anything like that called a "horror".

The first one was "Seconds Apart":
"Seth and Jonah are twins with a dangerous ability. Telekinesis. Things start to spiral out of their control as their classmates end up dying in twisted and bizarre ways. The police suspect them. But, jealousy begins to divide them and soon they can no longer trust each other. Leading up to a horrific battle against themselves."© IMDb


I think that to call this film a "horror" is a mistake.  Actually, I think that it must be some kind of thriller with a bit of mystics.
Two blood-brothers who have telekinesis - is it horror? No, it's not. Of course, if only they do not kill everyone using their special ability. 
But, you know, they do. They do kill people. Not all but some of them they kill.
So it's not really scary or nasty like films which full of blood, where blood can come out of wall, you know. 
But it has something what makes you want to watch it.

The second one was "Lo":
"Love presents many challenges to couples...but none so daunting as the one Justin faces with his girlfriend April. Kidnapped by demons, April's mystery begins to unfold when he finds an ancient book that she has left behind. Using the book, he contacts the demon Lo, ordering it to help him rescue his girl from the fiery pits. But Lo has other plans for his new master...dinner being one of them."© IMDb


What about this film? I can say without a doubt that it is not a horror. Or just it is not a typical horror.
You get used to see an enormous number of kills, seas of blood, brains, guts, cut out parts of body. This called "a typical horror". 
But "Lo" is not like that at all. It's funny (so it can eat your brain, actually), it's kind, it's lovely and it's like a theatre in your home (or where you watch it). From the first minutes you'll understand what I'm talking about.
