The Thing

The Fly

David Cronenberg · 1986 · Film

The Descent

Neil Marshall · 2005 · Film

Claustrophobia first, creatures second. The cave was already enough.

The Terror

AMC · 2018 · Television

Scurvy, lead poisoning and a bear. The ice was the monster first.

A Quiet Place

Silence as the rule and the threat. A creature feature that behaves like a thriller.
