Why these movies?
The story pattern: Narratives in this thread typically begin with a seemingly benign interaction with technology that quickly escalates into a targeted attack. The antagonist (often an unseen, algorithmic force) learns the characters' vulnerabilities, using their own secrets and anxieties against them. The plot follows a reactive struggle as characters try to understand and dismantle the system hunting them, often with limited success.
Why they belong together: Movies are grouped here based on their core premise of personalized, tech-based horror. They share a common fear of the digital world's invisible threats and explore the terrifying idea that our devices know us better than we know ourselves, creating a uniquely modern and paranoid viewing experience.
