The films that endure understand that a house is a body, that architecture can hold grief, and that a corridor withholding its secret is scarier than any apparition it might eventually cough up. The genre&rsquo;s grammar, established across the pieces below, treats the building as the antagonist and the family inside it as the wound the building keeps pressing.</p>Wed, 03 Jan 2024 14:00:00 +0000
