@IGGYAZALEA Curious, is there a specific flick that sparked this question? I think yes though. But like Hereditary and Where Evil Lurks are recent ones that I feel are straight horror.
The Spider Labyrinth (1988) follows an American researcher who travels to Budapest and becomes trapped in a nightmarish spider cult. A surreal, gothic Italian horror film that’s become a cult favorite.

In the 2026 film 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, Ralph Fiennes gives a high-octane performance as Dr. Ian Kelson. In a standout scene, he delivers a pyrotechnic-fueled interpretive dance to Iron Maiden’s "The Number of the Beast".
