Where we shelve this film

Gothic & haunted houses

Uncanny mansions, ghosts and dark romance behind creaking doors.

Body horror

Bodies out of control: transformations, parasites and fear of your own flesh.

Our genre tags are curated classifications. These descriptions explain the shelf, not the film’s plot.

From the editors

A permanent smile becomes a mask that cannot hide suffering: our borderland between uncanny imagery and human melodrama.

Screen on. Reality off.
