Films like The Hollow Child.

The Hollow Child (2018) reads as Heavy, steady, measured horror / supernatural, 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.
