I do enjoy a good low budget found footage horror. Lake Mungo is a bit of an exposition dump-fest delivered through interviews but is worth watching for that one scene alone.
Some I've seen lately:
In a Violent Nature - What could probably be best described as ambient horror. Imagine Friday the 13th but instead of watching the teen characters smoke pot and shag you get to watch from Jason's POV, strolling through the woods. Quite the surreal experience and subversive.
The Devil's Bath - Harsh historical reality.
Stop Motion - This movie is English, so naturally is the best on the list.
Oddity - This movie is Irish, so naturally is the worst on the list.
Divinity - This movie is American, so naturally replaces Oddity as the worst movie on the list.
The Houses October built (2011) - Found footage, mediocre.
Chime - This was too vague, even by Kiyoshi Kurosawa's standards.
Skinamarink - Ambient analogue horror. I had to watch this twice due to falling asleep and not knowing what was going on due to the no-fi audio quality. With subtitles enabled and possibly uppers, I highly recommend.
So, bear witness these cinematic marvels, throw your Fellini and Godard in the bin. The Season of the Witch is upon us, let's be avin' yer horror recommendations.
