Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Horror that understands the genre, building dread, not just delivering jump scares. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. Reality, memory, identity, these films pull the floor out from under you in the best way.
