01
Demons
Why this pick
Its claustrophobic cinema setting and escalating sense that the screen is reaching into the audience make it an especially direct match for Anguish’s theatrical, participatory horror.

01
02
Wes Craven's New Nightmare
Why this pick
Like Anguish, it turns horror’s relationship with its viewers and makers into the source of unease, with a clever self-aware structure that remains sincerely scary.
03
Popcorn
Why this pick
A midnight-movie slasher built around a repertory cinema, fake film gimmicks and an audience-facing horror atmosphere; it shares Anguish’s love of the movie theatre as a trap.
04
In the Mouth of Madness
Why this pick
Its nested, destabilising storytelling and mounting uncertainty about where fiction ends make it a strong fit for Anguish’s disorienting manipulation of perspective.
05
Berberian Sound Studio
Why this pick
A meticulous, oppressive descent into horror-film soundmaking, matching Anguish’s interest in how cinematic technique can make an audience feel trapped inside a nightmare.
