32 Liminal horror movies

Let's begin with the beginning: what in the world is "liminal" - and "liminal horror"? The word liminal itself is defined quite differently by different sources, but the essence is as follows: - a state/position at or on both sides of a threshold/border - a transition between states or the initial phase of a process of change As far as I understand, Liminal horror points to both this and at the same time to what is called liminal spaces , which are: - areas and architecture that lead you from something to something else, and which are not intended as anything more/other. Corridors, underpasses, aqueducts, airports, queues, waiting rooms... 'Non - destinational places', as my husband called it when I tried to explain it. Apt term! 😍 - Emotionally, liminal spaces are, for example, grief and growing up - Psychologically and socially, it's is 'nothing' between different feelings or states: the state of post partum and detox are two examp...

Iä! Iä! Lovecraftian horrors

H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American author best known for his influential contributions to the genre of "weird fiction," especially cosmic horror. His work is characterized by a unique blend of science fiction, horror, and the supernatural, often exploring themes such as forbidden knowledge, humanity's insignificance in the universe, and the fragility of reason. Lovecraft created a mythos—a loosely connected universe populated by ancient, powerful beings such as Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Azathoth. This "Cthulhu mythos" became central to his legacy, and was later expanded upon by other writers. So, to the eternal question: what does this almost etherial term "Lovecraftian" actually mean? I think Wikipedia says it well: "Lovecraftian horror, also called cosmic horror or eldritch horror, is a subgenre of horror, fantasy, and weird fiction that emphasizes the terror of the unknown and incomprehensible more than gore or other shock elements....

Films similar to Smile and It Follows

One of the rookies asked the following question at the Horror Rookie Academy the other day: Hello rookies! I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for horror movies like "Smile" (the first one, I'm afraid of the second one; and not because I don't dare watch it...) and "It Follows"? I grew up with classic horror, from "Rosemary's Baby" via Freddie Krueger and other cute characters. Hm. Not the easiest question in the world to answer! These are two films that are a bit difficult to compare with other films, they have such an intrinsic uniqueness. And both are distinctly great horror films. It's almost as if one's a little hesitant to compare them with other films. As if one not dares. However: the rookies dug into their twisted minds to answer this question, which resulted in this little list below. Enjoy!

Escapism in horror, sci-fi and absurd film

Quite a reality we live in, huh? 🥴 It's kinda messed up. Kamikaze-trained harp seals with GoPros on their heads swim around our oceans while geopolitical toxic masculinity literally spills out across all continents. On top of it all: AI. There seems to be no end to it all. That's why the Horror Rookie Academy offered a whole week of escapism in early February 2025. ...but what exactly is escapism in horror, sci-fi and absurdist film? It's not a genre, is it? We introduced the topic like this: - SUBJECTIVE: For some, _all_ films can actually be an escape from reality. Here we are looking for tips on which films/series (horror/sci-fi/absurd) are an escape from reality for you. There are no right or wrong answers here. 😁 - HUMOR: Humor strikes me like a joker in this game. For example, I laughed my way through The Human Centipede; for me it was a very unrealistic comedy - and then I know that my mother would perceive the film a little differently.

Shaky cam bonanza: the glory of Found Footage

Many people associate found footage with cheap productions, shaky cams, night vision and panting. Others feel found footage films creep under the skin as relentless first-person narratives without music. Found Footage actually has its roots in Victorian classic horror literature: texts consisting of found diary entries, letters, manuscripts. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is actually such a text, and Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story called 'MS. found in a bottle' in 1833. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) is another example. It's called epistolary literature. The Horror Rookie Academy had a Found Footage Friday the other day. Below you will find a wonderful list of film tips within this genre that is both loved and hated. Enjoy!
