10 Most Woke Urban Horror Movies to Make You Think

"Filming horror movies in concentrated urban centers can be a daunting, expensive venture. The directors who have managed to pull this off have produced movies that dredge up fears related to racial prejudice, financial corruption, environmental catastrophes, and post-industrial excess. Many of these horror films also function as social thrillers, which expose oppression by employing suspense and terror. From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York City, the big cities that serve as settings for the dismaying circumstances that unravel in these movies have all dealt with their own issues related to identity, discrimination, and economic inequality. All of the films on this list use these urban contexts to make viewers think about the larger social and political issues that plague humanity to this day."
