I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016)

A young nurse takes care of an elderly author who lives in a haunted house.

Slow-paced gothic drama fully relies on atmosphere and visual brilliance and at times creates David Lynch-like moments of surreal horror, but, in the end, it's just another ghost story.

Lucy Boynton

Apostle (2018)

In 1905, a drifter on a dangerous mission to rescue his kidnapped sister tangles with a sinister religious cult on an isolated island.

Gory horror drama has a silly plot, but is made with atmosphere, a good cast and good period detail.
