Style Over Story Horror
Shock Over Substance
These are horror films that strand their characters somewhere with no way out—an island, a farmhouse, a ship's hold, a desert—and then just let the threat close in: a killer, a cannibal clan, a mutated creature, a virus. Plot and character are thin by design; the pattern is a steady drumbeat of graphic violence and predatory dread meant to be felt in the body rather than puzzled over. What links them isn't a subgenre so much as a shared appetite for isolation-plus-carnage, sustained until the credits roll.
