2007–2015 · US
A rowdy, DIY strain of horror from about 2007–2015 married mumblecore's casual, improvised acting and spare production values to a taste for slow-burn dread and domestic unease. Go in expecting intimate camerawork and character-first scares—films like Ti West's House of the Devil and David Robert Mitchell's It Follows turn mundane conversations and living-room quirks into quietly effective terror.
