A woman who lives in a darkened old house with her two photosensitive children becomes convinced that her family home is haunted.
In traditional gothic literature, the house stood as a symbol for the mind - with plenty of ghouls in the attic and basement. Enjoy this collection of modern horror films that revitalize these gothic tropes for the 21st century.
This contemporary collection of mysteries are so dark you'll need to turn up the screen brightness on your laptop. Make sure to check out 'Stonehearst Asylum' for a fantastic horror/thriller based on a short-story by Edgar Allen Poe.
These modern haunted house movies are sure to leave you wondering if it really is just the pipes acting up - or something more sinister. Make sure to check out 'We Are Still Here' for a recently released hidden gem!
A list crowned by recent Australian masterpiece, 'The Babadook' - which, for our money, is the best film of its ilk released in recent years. For those not in the know, psychological horror relies less on blood and guts and more on brains: playing on the audience's unconscious fears, toying with the uncanny, and making strategic use of silence.
For many, the first movie that springs to mind is 'Fight Club', but other great mindfucks in this collection include 'Shutter Island', 'Donnie Darko', and - going back - 'El Topo'. Enjoy the 10 minutes of headscratching after the credits roll!
Prepared to be truly thrilled by our list of noughties thrillers, we'd particular recommend the 2001 classic - Mulholland Drive.
A borderline personality disordered defense worker meets an undercover cop and a young man with a heart shaped birthmark - you should be thrilled that is not the start of a joke.
