They Wait in the Dark
Amy, a young woman is on the run with her young son Adrian from her abusive ex-girlfriend. When the past rises up to haunt them, they must confront the forces threatening them from both outside and in.
Why it matters
A tense psychological horror that blends domestic terror with supernatural dread, exploring how past trauma festers in the shadows.
- Sharp focus on intimate, claustrophobic tension rather than cheap jump scares.
- Centers on queer relationships and abuse, a perspective still underrepresented in genre horror.
- Marries grounded emotional stakes with eerie, creeping supernatural elements for layered unease.
- For fans of character-driven hauntings like The Babadook or The Vigil, where the real horror is both internal and external.
