Something in the Family Home
A run of hauntings that go after the family unit itself — watch them together and you'll see the Wan-era jump-scare house turn into Aster's grief-rotted dollhouse and the folk-horror homesteads of Java and Japan.
Mostly multiplex crowd favourites with a few festival-circuit and international deep cuts. They're easy to watch as a group, but Hereditary and Longlegs stay with you longer than the Conjuring films do.
