Curated Urban Horror Movies

Urban horror is horror set in cities, where tenants, strangers, landlords and the police can all become part of the threat. The city has its own mythology. Alleyways, rooftops, subway platforms at midnight, curated urban horror uses dense, populated environments to isolate its characters in plain sight. Being surrounded by people has never been a guarantee of safety in these films.
