The cult classics

Shining (1980)

Everything starts out quite inconspicuously, almost idyllically: Writer and former teacher Jack Torrance, his wife Wendy and their son Danny find their way across picturesque landscapes to the huge Overlook Hotel, which they are supposed to maintain during the upcoming winter. But then things take their course, strange events begin to pile up - and finally culminate in a fight for survival that takes place between reality and imagination.

Funny Games (1997)

Even scarier than the darkness is the horror that takes place in broad daylight. Which brings us to "Funny Games" by German-Austrian director Michael Haneke. This psychological thriller tells the story of a family who only realise the threat posed by two young men when they have already let them into their lake house. After this film, you will certainly think twice about who you open the door to ...

A bonus tip for anyone who has already seen "Funny Games": "Caché" by the same director can definitely keep up in terms of thrills.

American Psycho (2000)

New York investment banker Patrick Bateman has everything and wants even more. The goal? To be the best. But there's this one side to him that he can't suppress. A film about the dark side of identity and the pursuit of prestige.

By the way: Lionsgate is celebrating this year's 25th anniversary of "American Psycho" with a Collector's Edition - find out more here.

Eraserhead (1977)

Some works of art are difficult to describe - and even more difficult to categorise. Star director David Lynch's first film is one such candidate, which film critics like to describe as "sui generis", i.e. special (and) unique. The film is about parenthood and the tension between dream and reality. Body horror, science fiction elements and mind games - it's all there.

On behalf of the devil (1997)

"Vanity, definitely my favourite sin," whispers the devil himself into the camera in the final scene of the psychological thriller "By the Devil's Order". He has just succeeded for the second time in capturing the up-and-coming lawyer Kevin Lomax. The film tells the story of how things ended for Lomax and his wife Mary Ann the first time - and what the tempting offer from a large New York law firm turned out to be.

The newcomers

28 Years Later (2025)

In case you were wondering what it reminds you of when you read the title: Yes, "28 Years Later" is part of a whole series that revolves around the Rage virus and its effects on Earth. However, "28 Years Later" also works wonderfully without having seen its two predecessors "28 Days Later" (2002) and "28 Weeks Later" (2007). Although, of course, the Halloween weekend also offers the ideal opportunity for a film marathon ...

The Substance (2024)

This body horror film has certainly not been missed: It was the subject of every award show imaginable and cinema-goers are said to have repeatedly left the auditorium early because the film was too brutal. But fortunately that's a matter of opinion. One thing is certain: "The Substance" is not only shocking, but also has a deeper message.

Nosferatu - The Undead (2024)

"Nosferatu" is based on the story of probably the most famous vampire of all time: the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. And as the film's title suggests, it is of course a remake of the legendary silent film "Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror" from 1922, about the young woman Ellen who falls for the Transylvanian vampire Nosferatu. In addition to the timeless story, the picturesque images provided by director Robert Eggers are particularly captivating.</p

V/H/S Halloween (2025)

"V/H/S Halloween" is the eighth instalment in the V/H/S series. The anthology brings together six films that all revolve around the scariest day of the year: Halloween. The innocent ritual of "trick or treating" turns into a fight for survival.

Kinds of Kindness (2024)

Yorgos Lanthimo's film "Kinds of Kindness" is gruesome on two levels. The same protagonists take us on a journey through three independent stories, all of which escalate brutally: First, they find themselves in a toxic relationship between a boss and his employee. In the second story, a marine researcher who was declared dead returns to her husband after all - who then mistakes her for a double. And in the third part, a sect searches for its venerable leader. At the centre? The central theme: the abysses of being human.

The arthouse candidates

Creep (2014)

Videographer Aaron comes across an advertisement online from Josef, who claims to be dying soon due to a brain tumour and needs help recording a video that he wanted to leave to his unborn child. He gets the job and visits Josef in his remote forest home. Josef's behaviour makes Aaron suspicious - and then a wolf mask comes into play. A found-footage psychological thriller that keeps the tension high until the very last scene.

Possession (1981)

A Kafkaesque marital crisis in the divided Berlin of the 1980s, which is not disturbed by a beetle, but by a shapeless something. And an affair. And murders. Almost 50 years after its first release, the cult classic "Possession" still looks up to date.

The Lighthouse (2019)

Canada, end of the 19th century. Two men start a four-week shift as lighthouse keepers on a small island. The older Thomas Wake bullies the younger Ephraim Winslow around. The tension between the two grows steadily. When they are unable to leave the island even after the planned four weeks together due to a heavy storm, they descend into madness.
