Narrative Summary

They discover a supernatural threat and realize their survival depends on uncovering its weakness or origin.

Why These Movies?

Narrative Summary

The narrative follows a group of characters, each bringing a distinct skill or perspective, as they uncover a menacing supernatural force. They learn to combine their strengths, but the process is fraught with internal conflict and external danger.

Why These Movies?

The similarity stems from the blend of supernatural action, dark institutional or isolated settings, heavy emotional stakes, and particularly the bleak, often unresolved conclusions that challenge the notion of a clean victory.
