Lair
A fractured family are forced to face their demons, metaphorically and literally, as they unwittingly become embroiled in a man's attempt to prove the existence of the supernatural in order to overturn a friend's murder conviction.
Why it matters
A tense blend of family drama and supernatural horror that probes how grief warps reality and fuels obsession.
- Practical effects elevate the creature design, recalling ’80s body horror craftsmanship without nostalgia overload.
- A slow-burn mood piece that rewards patience, layering emotional trauma with creeping dread.
- Perfect for viewers who dig horror that doubles as psychological inquiry rather than jump-scare spasms.
- Explores the blurred lines between belief and madness, a thematic throughline echoing classics like The Babadook and The Witch.
