If The Others hit the spot, these will too

Amenábar building dread from what you almost see, years before this
The difference: A serial-killer thriller, not a ghost story — grubbier, more explicit

Both are built on the same subject: haunted house
The difference: Trades the tension of The Others for an angle of its own

Dread-soaked and unsettling in the same breath


Both keep coming back to the same thing: nightmare

Both land twists and melancholy at once
The difference: 23 years apart, and the 2020s show

A caretaker alone in a grand house with rules that feel like warnings
The difference: A pulpier twist ride — the reveal is fun but far less haunting

Horror with a pulse of tension, in both cases
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics


A curse assembled piece by piece until the full shape chills you
The difference: Found-footage sprawl — rough and patience-testing, never elegant


A slow creep through a place where something is deeply wrong
The difference: Gory teen slasher — shock kills replace the hushed restraint
