Films like Here Comes the Devil.

Here Comes the Devil (2012) reads as Heavy, steady, extreme horror / thriller, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
