Films like The Mortuary Collection.

The Mortuary Collection (2020) reads as Sombre, kinetic, extreme fantasy / horror, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
