H.P. Lovecraft's: The Necronomicon,
Dagon,
Cube is completely sideways and has a science fiction setting, but something is itching me to mention it.
The Tree of Life has some good Spanish plundering and trip scenes.
And so does Blueberry (Renegade). <---- AMAZING MOVIE.

Also, sorry for the bump.
Didn't realize until it was too late. :/
Cube is a real classic. Cube 2: Hypercube was also pretty interesting but inferior to the first one for sure. Since this topic seems to be more about good horror recommendations rather than creepy old castle horror movies (of which there are few) I'll list some genuinely scary ones:

In the Mouth of Madness
The Thing
The Evil Dead
Hellraiser
Jacob's Ladder

also check out the animated series Salad Fingers which is sure to freak the hell out of you.
Blueberry and The Tree of Life are in no way horror, but they have the same theme of insanity and spirituality-
(Unseen alien "entities" causing events to unfold in mysterious ways- Blueberry's is almost overwhelming.)
HELLRAISER: THE INFERNO IS BEASTLY. Thank you so much for reminding me.

Salad fingers will soil your pants for you, especially while in lesser state's of mind.

I agree. It would be possible to tell some other stories in the Amnesia world through film. Wilhelm's story, for example, would be very interesting.



...or some of the victims/prisoners. For example - story of that girl that almost managed to escape.

Yeah, adaptations that are exactly like the source material they derive themselves from are pointless. Case in point: Silent Hill. Very good movie (for the first half of it) but it is almost exactly like playing the first Silent Hill videogame and I would rather do that than watch a movie about it. Personally I am most interested in Daniel's past and his former occupation as an archaeologist (presumably?). The excavation in Algeria that we've only read about would make a great film I think.

Like someone else in this thread said, the ideal ending point would be the "titular quaff" (lmao, I can just imagine how it would be in an Amnesia isometric RPG; "<quaffs a potion>. Daniel has gained Amnesia. Huh ") so that the movie doesn't just rehash imagery from the game or worse, change the events entirely.

My thoughts on it are this

1. If I had confidence that the movie would be well done by an intelligent director, good scripting and all that, with good actors, then I would BE ALL FOR IT

2. If not the above...then absolutely not, I'd rather see Amnesia never make it to the silver screen rather then be screwed hideously bad
