If The Eyes of My Mother hit the spot, these will too

Dread-soaked where it counts, unsettling underneath
The difference: Easier on the stillness than The Eyes of My Mother

Both land stillness and melancholy at once
The difference: Sits closer to fantasy than The Eyes of My Mother does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: death of mother

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Horror built on dread, twice over
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than The Eyes of My Mother does


Both lean on melancholy more than on drama

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

The same preoccupation in both: black and white
The difference: 53 years apart, and the 1960s show

Unsettling drama, and it commits to that

The shared currency is stillness

Both working the same horror territory
