Films like The Headless Horseman.

The Headless Horseman (2011) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / argentine, 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.
