Why these movies?
The story pattern: The narrative pattern involves a central, often ancient, malevolence that is triggered or discovered. The story then follows its ripple effects, typically through interconnected vignettes or a nonlinear structure, showing how the curse corrupts and destroys anyone it touches, often leaving the evil ultimately undefeated.
Why they belong together: These films are grouped by their shared focus on an impersonal, unstoppable supernatural force. They create a specific kind of dread rooted in the absence of reason or redemption, where characters are merely victims in a larger, tragic pattern they cannot understand or escape.
