Funny Games
Although Funny Games is easily one of the most disturbing films of the past two decades, it counts on the characters' terrifying and ruthless sadism to drive the plot. Two young men capture and torture a middle-class family on vacation, giving them until the next day to survive. The film is meant to be a reflection and criticism of violence in media.
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
A live-in nurse is hired to care for a reclusive elderly author suffering from dementia; she comes to suspect the house may be haunted. This slow-burning supernatural gothic horror film foregoes slasher horror and jumpscares in favor of something more poetic.
