Supernatural movies conjure forces beyond the veil, think The Conjuring’s iconic hauntings and Hereditary’s divisive descent into darkness.

Ti West’s The House of the Devil (2009) is a hypnotic homage to ’70s horror, filmed on 16mm, full of satanic tension, and anchored by an unforgettable final girl. What begins with a flyer and a payphone spirals into blood rituals, lunar eclipses, and a drugged pizza. A chilling cult classic now streaming on AMC+ & Shudder.
