Furnace
A ghost story taking place at a maximum security prison. A detective (Michael Paré ) is called to investigate a string of unexplained deaths as the prisoners fear for their lives.
Why it matters
A grim ghost story that traps supernatural dread inside the claustrophobic walls of a maximum security prison.
- Michael Paré’s gritty detective anchors the film in noir-tinged procedural territory, grounding the paranormal chaos.
- The prison setting doubles as a character, amplifying the sense of entrapment and escalating tension.
- Practical effects deliver unsettling apparitions that lean into classic hauntings rather than cheap jump scares.
- For fans of haunted institutional horror – think “Session 9” meets “The Entity” – Furnace blends spectral mystery with the brutal reality of incarceration.
