Occult Horror
-
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

-
The Nun (2018)
A gothic spin-off that leans heavily on atmosphere and religious iconography, delivering striking imagery but struggling to sustain tension beyond its opening movements.
-
Bring Her Back (2025)
A grief-soaked descent into ritual and obsession that treats resurrection as an act of violence rather than mercy.
-
Midsommar (2019)
A sunlit descent into grief and ritual that turns emotional collapse into something disturbingly serene.
-
The Evil Dead (1981)
A feral, no-frills descent into demonic terror that redefined how far low-budget horror could push sheer intensity.
-
The Conjuring (2013)
An old-school haunted house shocker that helped steer studio horror back toward patience, craft, and total sincerity.
-
Hereditary (2018)
Annihilating family grief that quietly tilts into occult nightmare, Hereditary feels like watching a curse tighten around a house in slow motion.
-
The Shining (1980)
An isolated hotel, a fragile family, and a slow creep into madness that never really lets you go.
