The Visit
IMDb
M. Night Shyamalan is a rock-solid guarantee of the unconventional, and “The Visit” is one of his most acclaimed takes on the subject. The title depicts the sinister secrets of a seemingly harmless elderly couple living in an isolated farmhouse as they try to reconnect with their estranged grandchildren. As is standard for the director, the plot twist is absolutely jaw-dropping.
Infinity Pool
IMDb
Directed by Brandon Cronenberg, the son of David Cronenberg, “Infinity Pool” demonstrates that creativity can sometimes be inherited. Set in the same vein of body horror crafted by The Baron of Blood, the picture centers on a writer and his wife vacationing in the fictional seaside country of Li Tolqa. After an accident, they discover the location’s dark culture and the macabre penalties for those who commit crimes.
It Comes at Night
IMDb
When it comes to crafting post-apocalyptic-themed productions, fresh narratives are essential to building worlds out of our imagination, and “It Comes at Night” features one of the most unique. As a contagious disease kills the entire planet, a man and his family adhere to very strict rules to survive in a home deep in the woods, but everything changes when desperate young intruders arrive seeking refuge.
Late Night with the Devil
IMDb
The common places for filming in the found footage style tend to be dark woods or abandoned asylums, but what about a talk show? “Late Night with the Devil” deviates from the norm by first telling the story of a late-night interview program that went incredibly wrong due to paranormal forces, and then showing exactly how it happened, from the first to the last minute on air.
