    Ive seen about 90% of the movies listed in the OP and have enjoyed them all.

    That said, while horror movies are about the only genre I regularly watch, I dont watch with a critical lense. I enjoy spooky vibes and scary atmospheres, and as long as a film at least tries to deliver on those (horror comedies notwithstanding, they get some leeway), im a happy camper.

    But, of all the movies ive watched in the last decade or so, movies like these do tend to stay with me more, and im more willing to watch them more than once (which is a lot for me, regardless of any films genre, even other horror movies).

    Happy to expand on any of these ideas more but I am about to go sleepy time now
