How did they come up with these stories?

Horrors are notorious for plots that are built on bizarre creatures and concepts that play with people’s fear of the unknown. These 7 Reddit-approved films go even further, as they seem to be created not by the filmmakers, but by the devil himself.

It Follows (2014)

First comes quite a popular gem that focuses on a young woman who is pursued by a mysterious supernatural entity after she has sex with her boyfriend. This creature and the gradually elevating level of suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat.

 

Society (1989)

“The film’s central conceit is so strange and unexpected it defies imagination. I genuinely have no clue how the creators came up with it,” claims Redditor @dethb0y.

This is a body horror that tells the story about a gruesome cult of the social elite. That’s it, that’s everything we’ll tell: you just have to see it (or not).

Rubber (2010)

You won’t believe what kind of antagonist this flick has. By blending horror and comedy, it focuses on the exploits of a rubber tire that kills people with psychokinetic powers, and we bet you have never seen a movie with a similar premise.

Cube (1997)

Following a group of six people, who wake up in a strange maze-like structure and are forced to work together to escape, this gem “could take place anywhere at any time”, as voiced by @Affectionate_One1751. It also artfully pays homage to Kafka’s surreal novels.

Tusk (2014)

You have certainly heard about this body horror. It stars Justin Long as a podcaster who meets an insane retired sailor who is obsessed with a walrus named Mr. Tusk. What comes next is a hard watch, even though the movie’s comic relief is great.

Barbarian (2022)

Another Justin Long’s film is in the list, and it also presents quite a fresh story. It follows a woman who comes to a house she rented, only to find out that it’s been double-booked and, moreover, that it hides a dark creature waiting for her.

Killer Sofa (2019)

Finally, we have a low-budget comedy horror that has a living sofa that kills people, yes, just like the title implies. If you like to watch something silly and at the same time creepy, it’d be a perfect choice for you.
