Why these movies?
The story pattern: The narrative typically follows a protagonist, shattered by loss, who begins to experience disturbing phenomena. The central conflict is internal and external: they must determine if a malevolent presence is real or if their mind is breaking under the weight of guilt and sorrow. The story often builds to a revelation that bridges both possibilities.
Why they belong together: These films are grouped together because they share a core theme of using supernatural horror as a metaphor for processing unbearable grief. They create a specific, heavy mood of psychological dread and desperate searching for answers in the face of the inexplicable.
