Films like Sweet Home.

Sweet Home (1989) reads as Sombre, kinetic, extreme horror / haunted-house, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, measured. 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.
