Serial killer horror

171 films

Serial killer horror has long been a mirror reflecting our darkest impulses, exposing the fragile line between sanity and madness. This selection covers a range of approaches—from the surreal, almost mythic unraveling in *Possession* and *Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me*, to the visceral, intimate descent in *Maniac* and *The House That Jack Built*. These films don’t just show killers; they explore fractured psyches and the traumas that shape them. Recent entries like *Titane* and *Scream 7* demonstrate how the subgenre continues to evolve, mixing psychological depth with contemporary anxieties. Whether through unsettling atmosphere, brutal imagery, or twisted family dynamics, these stories confront the human villain not as a monster in the shadows, but as a terrifying inhabitant of our world.
