Why these movies?
The story pattern: These narratives typically begin with a profound act of trauma or violation against a protagonist. This catalyzes a supernatural intervention, granting them immense power specifically for revenge. The story then follows their methodical or frenzied pursuit of retribution, often questioning the cost of such power and whether the avenger is becoming as monstrous as those they hunt.
Why they belong together: They are grouped by their core premise of supernatural vengeance, a consistently dark and intense tone, and a heavy emotional weight derived from themes of trauma, moral decay, and the bleak satisfaction of violent retribution.
