Curated collection

Curated Survival Horror Movies

Survival horror strands its characters with limited resources against a killer, a creature or the elements, and asks how far they'll go to make it out. Strip everything away and horror becomes very simple. Stay alive. Curated survival horror puts characters in situations where that's the only objective, and then makes it nearly impossible. The genre is a stress test. The best entries here pass it.
