Serial killer horror follows someone who murders repeatedly over time, often with a ritual or signature, and frequently tracks the people trying to stop them. What makes these films work isn't the body count. It's the methodology, the psychology, the unsettling competence of someone who has made violence into a practice. Curated serial killer horror gets inside that headspace without flinching. Some of these films are harder to shake than any supernatural entry on this site.
